Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Desktop - Black - Wireless, Comfortable, Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse Combo with Cushioned Palm Rest and USB Wireless Receiver

Contoured for comfort The Sculpt Comfort Desktop is both comfortable and customizable. The contoured design promotes a natural, relaxed wrist posture, while also putting keys within easy reach. The keyboard also includes cushioned palm rest that helps support and straighten the wrist. However, the palm rest can easily be removed when you're tight on space, or simply want a sleeker, more compact look. Built for productivity Microsoft believes in the constant pursuit of excellence, and is always looking for ways to improve the comfort and productivity of our hardware. The new split spacebar with backspace functionality on the Sculpt Comfort Keyboard is the perfect example. Research shows that 90 percent of people use only their right thumb to hit the space bar, and that the backspace key is one of the most frequently used keys on a keyboard. Knowing this, Microsoft Hardware designers built a larger, split spacebar that includes a backspace bar on the left-hand side. The new design helps improve typing speed and provide improved comfort. Perfect for Windows 8 The Sculpt Comfort Desktop is equipped with hotkeys that give you one-touch access to some of the most commonly used functions in Windows 8, so you can search, share, or access your settings in the blink of an eye.
