Arteck Ergonomic USB Wired Keyboard with Cushioned Wrist & Palm Rest, Backlit 7 Colors & Adjustable Brightness Comfortable Natural Split Keyboard with 6 Feet Wire for Windows Computer Desktop Laptop

Ótimo!

Very pleased with this keyboard. I've had tennis elbow (apparently now sometimes called "mouse elbow" in some circles) which has been very painful when working with a standard mouse and keyboard. As my job requires pretty much full time use of both (I'm a programmer), I needed to find something that would reduce the pressure on my elbow/wrist/tendon. I did a bit of research and eventually found and bought this keyboard and a Protoarc upright mouse (which I've also reviewed positively). I was never sure about erganomic keyboards before, but with the pain that I was having, I needed to try something to reduce the pressure on my elbow. This has been pleasantly surprising. It's a well built keyboard with a surprisingly very nice feel to the keys, which are well spaced and have a decent amount of travel. It has a really comfortable (non removable) padded palm/wrist rest and has legs on both the front and the back of the keyboard so you can angle it away from you as well as tilting it toward you, or raise the keyboard slightly, as I do. This makes (for me, anyway) a very comfortable typing position. If you've not used one before, having a split keyboard might be a little different for you for a short while, but I've found that I've lost no accuracy or speed and can touch type as well as I could before. The keyboard has several built in macros on the function keys for things like media: volume, skip forward/backward, search - accessible using the Fn key. This can be toggled using the function lock key to either have the Fn keys or macros in use full time with the Fn key performing the "opposite" function. There are also several other macro keys - lock session, calculator, plus a couple of keyboard specific keys for the backlight. The backlight is quite good- there are 7 colours (including white) with 3 brightness levels and although I never really used a backlit keyboard prior to this, during the darker months working from home, it does provide a nice even glow across the whole keyboard. Connectivity, really simple - it's plug and play, no drivers required, just plug in the USB and go In all, I'd recommend this.

I've used this keyboard daily for 3 months now, and it has been a great experience so far. It's my first time purchasing an Arteck keyboard, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had heard their brand is reputable for making solid, reliable devices, and thus far I would agree with that. I was looking for a very specific set of features in a keyboard, and this was literally the only one that checked all of the boxes on Amazon at the time of purchasing. Features I was looking for that it had: Ergonomic split key style with a padded wrist rest. Scissor-style key press mechanism (feels like a laptop keyboard when typing) Backlit keys with multiple color choices, including white A full sized number pad on the right side Wired, rather than wireless (although in hindsight, either would have been fine.) There are a few things about the keyboard that are relatively minor, not anything that makes it a bad experience, but that if I could have everything perfect in a single keyboard, I would prefer they were slightly different. The half-sized Up/Down arrow buttons, while functional, I would prefer full size ones like the right and left arrows. They feel a bit cramped to use. The delete key being about 3/4 sized is not that strange, but its position above and right-aligned to the backspace key is just awkward for me. I'm used to it being underneath, or off to the right side. Very often I will blind-press either the "FN Lock" (Function Lock) key to the left of it by mistake, thinking it is the Delete key, either that or the Calculator key (which works great in Linux by the way) to the right of it. 3 months in and I'm still not used to its size or placement unfortunately. Similarly, I'd rather the top row of keys on the number pad were positioned elsewhere, (or mainly just the color change button for the backlight not being above the - key) but I do understand that there are limitations to the amount of space they can work with, and appreciate that they managed to pack a bunch of extra feature keys. I'd prefer the print screen feature to have its own dedicated key, rather than being a toggle ON/OFF via the function lock. For example, to switch between the ability to take a screenshot, and the ability to refresh a webpage via the F5 key, you have to press the function lock key in between to toggle the functionality. Most of the functions controlled by FN Lock are used sparingly (volume controls, media playback controls, brightness settings, scroll lock and the insert key) but print screen is one of those that's pretty common for me, and would have been more helpful having its own key instead. Two more minor things related to the lights... if I had it all my way... By the way, at the time of writing, there was a discrepancy in the product description in regards to the backlighting colors so, for those who are wondering, the key colors on the HA315B model are: yellow, purple, cyan, white, red, green, and indigo (blue.) The first one is just a personal preference. I've surprised myself by gravitating to the yellow color lights. I wish the yellow color was more to the orange/red side, like a golden color. Instead it is closer to a yellow-green, which is fine, I would have just preferred something a bit more gold if I could pick. Not a big deal at all. I like that it has a lot of color choices! The other "issue" was just that the green lights in the center of the keyboard that tell you what buttons are ON/OFF for capslock, function lock, numlock, and so on, are SUPER bright. Way too unnecessarily bright. It looks great when you're using the green color on the backlight, since it matches well, but for everything else it's too intense and visually distracting, especially in a darker room. But, I got some old solid black electrical tape I had laying around, and cut little tiny squares of out it, and covered about 75-90% of the visible lights with that, drastically reducing their brightness to a more sane and tolerable level, while also being careful not to completely cover the lights, so I can still tell when they are on or off in general. It's a simple, low-tech fix, and again not a huge deal, but for future keyboard designs I would highly suggest putting a much dimmer and more subtle light in for those. All in all, it may sound like I have a lot of complaints, but honestly none of them are all that big of a deal. Almost every keyboard I've ever used has at least a few aspects that feel are a bit less than ideal compared to what I would prefer, and none of these things are detrimental enough to feel like a disservice to the experience. It's a very enjoyable keyboard to use and I'm quite pleased with it. The pros far outweigh the cons, in other words. I would definitely recommend this keyboard if you are looking for these very specific combination of features, like I was, and I'm pleased with my purchase for sure. If everything continues to go this well throughout the rest of the year, I'd safely be able to recommend Arteck, or at least this specific product, to anyone interested.

First of all, this is a used keyboard not new and I find the price a bit high but it is a good keyboard, great quality and very comfortable on your hands, other that I recommend it.

I used the Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for years until it died. I really liked the ergonomic design, but it was big and clunky, and a bit old fashioned. I have used the Arteck HW315 at home for a while and loved it so chose the Arteck HA315B for work. This keyboard is essentially the same as the HW315 except it is wired and has multiple colour choice backlighting. I have been using this keyboard every day for over a month (as well as the HW315 at home for longer) and absolutely love it! It is comfortable with a padded but firm hand rest and four retractable feet. The ergonomic design is great for typing smoothly but Arteck have managed to do this whilst keeping the overall size slim and neat – it uses much less desk space than my old MS keyboard. The lead is a slim but sturdy braided design with good length. The keys are responsive and positive, but shorter and smoother than a traditional keyboard. The backlit colour and brightness are adjusted easily with two buttons above the number pad - it is fun choosing my colour of the day and it looks great at night with the lights out. It also has a keyboard shortcut for the calculator which is so handy. The function buttons double up as volume/brightness etc like a laptop, with a function lock button to switch between the two modes. I have can also vouch for Arteck's after sales service as a leg broke on my wireless keyboard. After a single email, a replacement was sent out very quickly. Overall an excellent choice and very reasonable priced.
