iYogi Reviews : Type in style with Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Keyboard

Gearing up its sleeves for the launch Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft is busy unveiling products that are especially designed for its Windows 8 users. Following the course, Microsoft has made a recent addition in its line of products by unwrapping a brand new, stylish keyboard for Windows 8. Debuted as ‘Sculpt Comfort’ keyboard, this is the first-ever keyboard to spot a split backspace-spacebar key. The Sculpt keyboard also comes equipped with a new array of Windows 8 specific buttons that will give users an easy access to the most commonly used Windows 8 features like Search, Share, play and pause, volume control, charms menu, device and settings hot keys, etc. iYogi Reviews team decided to provide the first-hand review of this latest gear from Microsoft.

The Sculpt Comfort keyboard is an enlarged desktop keyboard that has been ergonomically designed to enhance the typing efficiency of the users. The keyboard has a typical dome-shaped arc that will give users a comfortable wrist position and will also keep keyboard keys within easy reach. iYogi Reviews team also noted that the keyboard dons an additional detachable padded palm rest that will provide users an added comfort while typing.

The split spacebar is a unique new addition; a design choice that is a result of an internal research that shows that 90% of the people use their right thumb to press spacebar, leaving the left-half of the spacebar key unused. The dual-function spacebar has also eliminated the need for “”pinky reach”” — the unnatural movement of the right hand’s little finger to press the conventional Delete key. Moreover, the wireless USB connectivity reduces unnecessary clutter. .

The Sculpt Comfort keyboard only supports Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. So if you’re a Windows XP user, you are out of luck. For a retail price of $60, the Sculpt Comfort keyboard will surely be a user’s delight.
