ProtoArc Backlit Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard, EK01 Plus Ergo Keyboard with Wrist Rest, Split Design, USB-C Charging, Bluetooth and USB, Natural Typing Compatible with Windows/Mac/Android

I was initially a bit unconvinced about the battery life on the ProtoArc EK01 Plus Backlit Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard, especially since it's Bluetooth-powered. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how long it lasts on a single charge. Even with regular use, the battery seems to hold up much better than I expected, which is a huge plus. The ergonomic design is comfortable, and typing on it feels natural, reducing strain on my wrists during long sessions. The backlit keys are a nice touch, especially for working in low-light environments. What really stood out to me, though, are the additional function and feature buttons. They are incredibly useful for quick access to media controls, volume adjustments, and even shortcuts for productivity. It makes the overall experience much smoother and efficient. Overall, I’m really happy with this keyboard. It performs well, is packed with handy features, and the battery life is much better than I anticipated. A great buy for anyone looking for an ergonomic, wireless, and feature-rich keyboard.

Many good features to this keyboard. I like the backlighting (and the enery saving cut out when not in use), the Caps Lock light (which does not feature on my last Microsoft keyboard), and the adjustable feet to slope the board. It is comfortable to type on and quiet. Little niggles... the left shift key is tiny, and the fact that the numerical pad is integral (which is good) means there is not much space for my mouse unless I shift the board left, which makes typing tricky. Pretty good, all in all though!

*Please be aware this review is being written from a totally blind person’s perspective* I absolutely love this keyboard, thanks to the reviewer who compared it to the Ergo K860, that was really helpful as I also had one of those previously. This is really comfortable to type on, I find the keys better than the 860. They seem thicker, more robust, and I love the leather wrist rest. I obviously won’t use the backlighting feature, but I’ve easily connected it to my iPhone and iPad via Bluetooth. I love the indented keys with the edges, my fingers fit in them seamlessly. I am an audio transcriber for work, so I type a hell of a lot of course, and I needed a new keyboard after my Ergo K started slipping, having lost it’s pads. I love the media circle, in the middle of the two spacebars, like you’d find on a TV remote. I have never seen a keyboard with such accessible and clearly placed media controls, they will get a lot of use both work and personally! Thanks for this Proto Ark, I love that! It’s nice to have a rechargeable battery too, rather than having to worry about changing triple A’s. It’s a little bit more noisy than I’d like, the Ergo K860 is quieter in my opinion, but the indented keys, media circle and leather wrist rest have totally won me over! A great keyboard, well worth the price and better than the more expensive 860, in my opinion. It also doesn’t have an app, which I love, as the Logitech options is not accessible with a screen reader! I will buy a new one of these, if I ever need to replace it! Which due to typing being my job and writing Fanfiction personally, is highly likely! Just finally, I know you’re wondering… yes, I am typing this on the keyboard!

BRILLIANT! I stupidly spilt water over my Logitech Ergo keyboard... tried to revive it, but it wasn't possible. I tried a cheaper keyboard - worked fine but the key travel/noise is a strange thing... when you are used to a premium keyboard, you really notice the difference. This keyboard is really well an truly brilliant. Keys are really quiet, the travel is minimal and smooth just like Logitech. Obviously, for people who want the Ergo layout, this is spot on. Having the full range too i.e. keypad etc. is wonderful too as well as the backlit lighting. The other perfect option is you can use it with the included USB transmitter as well as two other Bluetooth connections simultaneously. The problem I had with a pure Bluetooth setup is I have a KVM to switch between three computers... bluetooth doesn't work across all three at the same time of course, but the dedicated USB transmitter does !!!!

Initially I was skeptical about the price and the design as I had never used a curve keyboard, but looking at the review and product video I decided to buy, and it's been close to 3 months since I've bought, and love it so far. The packaging was premium, the build quality is great. Bluetooth connectivity works like a charm, and holds the Bluetooth connection, doesn't drop. You can connect to 3 devices switching effortlessly, and the keyboard keys feels soft and is not noisy. It took a while to get used the ergonomic keyboard, about 2 weeks but I would suggest to give that time to learn and get used to it. The backlit keyboard is great in case you work in late evenings. I felt it is slightly on the heavier side, but don't think that as a con as I leave it on my work desk. Verdict: I'll be a ProtoArc customer for life. Note: I bought the mouse from their store as a bundle, and love the mouse.

Very good keyboard works well

An excellent keyboard that allows my hands to position themselves far more comfortably and naturally than on a standard one. Moreover, the typing feel is positive, providing good tactile feedback. The backlight helps on those evenings when it gets dark early, too. I have been a computer user for over 45 years, and ergonomic keyboards like this have been a joy to use; I even bought one to use while visiting my clients when I was a freelance consultant.

Love this keyboard, battery lasts for weeks in fact I haven't charged it in 2 months with daily WFH use. Easy to swap between usb and BT devices. *Update* after two months the spring in the spacebar is squeaking. Well worth the money
