I was coming from the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, and this mechanical keyboard seemed to offer a similar layout. Keys were nice to press, but I have smaller hands and I really appreciate that the buttons on the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard are so close to one another and are physically larger to make them easier to hit. The buttons on the X-Bows are far apart, and the buttons more spread apart - meaning it was simply more difficult for me to reach the different keys each time. Moreover, the buttons themselves are small, making them harder to hit. I ended up returning this keyboard and going back to the Microsoft keyboard Read more

Excellent build. Very sturdy. Buy the keyboard is such a deviation from any other ergonomic keyboard. It’s not ortholinear or staggered but a weird mix. I am extremely comfortable with Microsoft sculpt but unfortunately my dongle broke in the process bricking my keyboard. Took a shot with this but absolutely couldn’t get used to the keyboard layout and I didn’t have the patience so had to return the keyboard and get another sculpt, begrudgingly! I heavily use the ctrl and alt keys and the keyboard really has extra ctrl keys to help you with the transition but I couldn’t get comfortable even after 3 full work days . Had to give it up as the work load was too high for me to drop off my productivity for a week. That said , when things get better at work I will definitely give it a try again. Read more

The keyboard’s USB-C port broke the first day I brought it in to use at work. Read more

Connexion USB morte après 3 mois. De plus ce clavier est avec des touches type "linear" (red) trop souple, trop d’erreur de double caractères, j’aurais préféré tactile (brown). Read more

I have used this keyboard for a couple of weeks now, and starting to get that muscle memory for this keyboard. I also have another ortholinear keyboard (ZSA ErgoDox EZ). Now that I have gotten used to the ErgoDox EZ, using a standard Qwerty keyboard is very annoy to me now, so I was looking for another compact, portable, and wired ortholinear keyboard. Being a single piece but angled out (self described as 80% ergonomic), seems to be a good compromise. The biggest difference is that the vertical columns actually splay out the further away from the space bars you, which has been the hardest thing to adjust to. Mine came with the Red linear mechanical switches, so the action is good without being too loud in an open office environment. Policy does not permit wireless tech, so I appreciate the USB wired connections is still an option. Despite the unique spacing of the keys, this is a good ergonomic keyboard option for about $60, and it was delivered with a few days. I may eventually order a portable ZSA option some day, but I am less concerned about loosing or breaking this keyboard. Read more
