Product Review: Evoluent Wired Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard - EKB

If you're on the lookout for a keyboard that is compact, comfortable, and user-friendly, then the Evoluent Wired Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard-EKB may just be what you're looking for. This keyboard is designed to provide maximum comfort, precision, and ease of use, making it the ideal tool for anyone who spends a lot of time typing.

First and foremost, this keyboard is unique in that it eliminates the numeric keys on the right-hand side, a move that may seem strange at first, but actually makes perfect ergonomic sense. By removing the numeric keys, the mouse can be brought closer to the keyboard, meaning that you don't have to extend your right arm to reach the mouse, thereby reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries and also saving space on your desk.

Another ergonomic feature of this keyboard is that the back edge is not tilted upwards, meaning that the keyboard is fully flat and eliminates any need to strain your hands or wrists upward. The key tops are only 1 cm or 0.4" off the top of the desk, further reducing wrist strain, and creating a more relaxed typing experience.

The Evoluent Wired Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard-EKB is also highly user-friendly and equipped with 12 one-touch hotkeys, taking out the need for pressing multiple keys. These hotkeys provide one-touch operation for Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Web, E-mail, Computer, Mute, Volume Down, Volume Up, Sleep, and Turn Off. This keyboard does not require pressing an Fn key simultaneously, unlike many other compact keyboards.

In terms of key quality, this keyboard features precision scissor keys that provide crisp action and good feedback at every push, unlike other compact keyboards that use wobbly membrane keys, which often feel mushy.

This keyboard is wired and plug-and-play, which means you can use it without having to install any drivers on your computer. All the one-touch hotkeys work without additional drivers, making this the perfect keyboard for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time fiddling with software or settings. While it's worth noting that the hotkeys do not function when used with a Mac OS, all other keys work correctly, and the Mac functions are printed on some keys, making using it on an Apple device less complex.

In summary, the Evoluent Wired Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard - EKB is a highly ergonomic keyboard that prioritizes users' comfort and convenience without sacrificing any features. It's built with precision scissor keys, 12 one-touch hotkeys, and a low profile that makes it easy to use for extended periods without causing neck or wrist strain.

The Evoluent Wired Essentials Full Featured Compact Keyboard - EKB is a popular choice, with an impressive 4.3 out of 5 stars rating based on 132 customer reviews. It's an excellent option for anyone who wants a high-performance keyboard that doesn't take up too much space on their desk.
