HW315

I did a lot of research before choosing this keyboard, and man am I glad I got it! The split is great, very comfortable. The arch is minimal, but it does the job. I also really like this scissor-switch technology, no more backspacing to fix a key that didn't register the first time! The built-in wrist rest is also really nice. I type a lot for work, and at a rate of 55 WPM. The keyboard gives just the right amount of feedback, and the keys are not mushy at all. It's also a very good looking keyboard, and is very responsive. I have heard some people mention (not just on this keyboard) that they have some lag/delay with their typing. I would bet the farm that they have plugged the receiver into a USB hub. If you're going to do that, then get yourself a USB extension cable, because the hub will cause interference with ANY wireless dongle you plug into it. Just a foot or so of distance from the hub will alleviate that. I found that out with my prior Logitech keyboard, after lots of searching around for what the cause could be. The ONLY thing I would improve is fairly minor: It does not have dedicated keys for Page Up/Down, Home, or End. You need to hold down the function key and use the corresponding arrow key for those functions. Not even remotely a deal breaker, this keyboard is fantastic in every other aspect.

I’ve been using this keyboard for almost 3 years and it has worked great for me the entire time. Comfortable, reliable, and perfect for long hours of work. The customer service was also great — very responsive, helpful, and professional throughout the process. Very happy with the product overall and would definitely recommend it.

The keys fell off very easily after only 2.5 months of use. It is a nice and smooth keyboard. I like it, but it didn't last even 3 months. I am trying to get it repaired by them since it was so recent that I got it- I will update this review later once I hear from the manufacturer. This is an update to my original post. I am extremely impressed with the quality of customer service and how fast they addressed my concerns regarding the product and they honestly back up their product. Not only did they respond fast, but they also replace my keyboard. Not just fix it, replaced the whole thing and it is also backed by their manufacturer warranty. I’m so happy and love that I get to have my keyboard back to use for hopefully a lot longer this time. It truly is a comfort keyboard and I love how smooth the keys feel when typing for long periods of time. Thanks guys for the prompt response! Today 3/27/2026 I received my brand new keyboard to replaced the one with the broken keys and I’m so happy to it back again and fully working thanks guys for the great customer service. Truly appreciate it.

I purchased this because I'm taking notes on computer, rather than by hand. I own a Mac laptop and for extended periods, the angle of a flat keyboard was making my wrists hurt. Be aware that the functions of this keyboard are NOT Mac-intuitive. For example, on my laptop, I tuck my left thumb under for the Command key + B for bold, I for italic, etc. THIS keyboard needs the Control key (little finger) + B (or I, etc.). I'm having to learn the nuances of it. That makes me slower. I am also used to my smaller keyboard (13" on the Mac) v. everything spread out a LOT MORE on the ergonomic one. The latter is probably normal size. Just keep in mind that there may be a size adjustment if you are used to a smaller keyboard. I also chose this ergonomic keyboard in order to have a 10-key, as I'll be working with a lot of numbers. (It also has the numbers above the letters, but if you know the 10-key, it's a bonus.) I like the fact that it's wireless - no cord to get in the way. It's chargeable overnight or whenever you're not using it. On/Off switch on the bottom. There are 4 adjustable 'feet' that allow you to tilt the keyboard. That's nice. The wrist rest is also pretty comfortable.. *I* find it most comfortable setting it at waist/elbow level, in order to get the angle of my hands to fit the keyboard. Fortunately I have a lower slide-out keyboard tray in my desk. Otherwise, I'd raise my chair up quite a bit in order to have it at elbow level on the top of the desk. The issue I'm having is the depth of the keyboard. It's 16" wide but 9.5" deep in the middle. I have to pull out the keyboard quite a ways to have access to it all... and by then it's harder to read my tiny-print text book. Still working all this out. I wonder if I should have gotten one without the wrist rest... ? It adds a good 3.5" to the depth. Don't worry about it if you aren't used to a Mac. It's probably geared more towards Windows. Anyway, as long as you're aware of the size, and the keyboard you're coming from - once you're used to it and have positioned it correctly, these ergonomic keyboards can be very helpful with hand, wrist, shoulder, and back strain and fatigue. Just be prepared for someone else who sits at your spot and tries to type, to fuss, "What in the world is THIS??" (My IT guy hated my keyboard.)

I work from home on my computer for 40+ hours every week. I purchased this Arteck Split Ergonomic Keyboard September 2024. I love everything about this keyboard. The battery life is great. I rarely have to charge it (maybe once a month). The wireless connection is flawless. Set up is easy. The keys are quiet so no background noise on my work calls of the keyboard clacking. I love that it keeps my wrists in a neutral position, this helping prevent strain and carpal tunnel symptoms. Customer service is SPOT ON! They get 10 stars! My number 3 key jammed in January 2026 then the key popped off. I was unable to get the key back on. I reached out via email to Arteck about it and they responded quickly. The keyboard is covered under a 2 year warranty so they sent me a new one, no hassle at all. It arrived within 3 days. The best news? The new keyboard has it's own 2 year warranty. It's so nice that the company ACTUALLY backs their products.

It is an ok keyboard with an annoying flaw. As other reviewers have observed, the placement of the Number Lock key makes it easy to trip that key by error. it is distracting to have to break your train of thought to fix the problem.

This has been a great second keyboard for my in office days. A little clackity for my liking 😆, but comfy to use and worth the purchase. Love that it’s bluetooth and rechargeable. I have two of the mice as well.

This was a one star review because the unit arrived with a batter that would not hold charge for more than a minute. I am not changing the stars, because if you are like me, you read the one star reviews cause so many companies pay for fake 4 and 5 star reviews. When I first posted this review I also initiated a return and just planned to move on to another brand. I was surprised when I got a personal email from the Arctek Service Team offering to send me a replacement free of charge. With nothing to lose I figured why not? The new unit arrived and I put a full charge on it and put it to work. I chose this keyboard because it is the closest in layout to the original Microsoft ergo split keyboard, no longer in production, that I have used for years and truly enjoy. I am pleased to report that the battery is working fine and the keyboard performs flawlessly. No skipped strokes or stuck keys, no glitches with the proprietary wireless interface to the laptop (when I am using it on the desk with a large screen). My hat is off to the Arctek service team and management. A company that cares enough about its reputation and customers to go to so much effort to take care of a customer with such a small dollar item sale is a company you can expect to rely on. From now on when I want electronic gear on Amazon, I am going to use the word Arctek in my search.

Lieferung erfolgte wie gewohnt pünktlich. Nur mit dem Zusatz Hinterhaus oder Haus im Hof kann der Zusteller nie etwas anfangen und stellt das Paket beim Vermieter am Vorderhaus ab. Die Tastatur selbst ist super. Gleich am ersten Arbeitstag merke ich, dass die Hände bzw. die Handgelenk lockerer und nicht so angespannt sind. Zur Akkulaufzeit kann ich aktuell noch nichts sagen. Bin wirklich gespannt wie lange der Akku hält. Ich benutze die Tastatur im Homeoffice. Bisher bin ich sehr zufrieden!

Bought as a present for my mother and Works really well, helps with her hours at work and hand and joint aches. Very easy to use and set up, plug in and go, easy Bluetooth connection and also convenient to charge. I will advise getting a longer cable but since it’s USB-C, most phone cables will work and one fits all nowadays. Integrated wrist and hand rest is an added bonus too, due to its nature, it’s bigger than your average keyboard. The keys are smooth and great typing experience. Overall, money well spent!

Die Tastatur ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber gut zu bedienen. Das Anschließen ging auch schnell. Den Stick einstöbseln und los geht's. Auch die Ausrichtung ist noch etwas seltsam, aber für die Hände, Ellenbogen und Schulter schon beim ersten benutzen entspannend.

What can I say, except this keyboard is a life saver! I started having serious arm, wrist and finger pains from using a standard style mechanical keyboard.. I checked out a few ergonomic keyboards and followed the recommendations from Amazon. The keys are soft and easy to use, making a potentially permanent RSI injury (couldn’t even click on a mouse without serious pain) into a much more manageable and far less painful work experience. Connects immediately with no issue, can hardly hear the keys being pressed also with no sticky issues either. By far my best keyboard in over 25 years of working in an office environment! Great keyboard, would recommend and buy again!!

I imagine many people will be asking the questions I asked before buying this keyboard. The first question is, is the Arteck as good as the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000? In a word, no. The second and third questions are, is it an adequate replacement for the 4000? Will it prevent my RSI? To which I would answer yes and probably. The reason it isn't as good as the 4000 (in my opinion) is in the first instance, the size. It is a good 30% or so smaller than the 4000 which has some benefits, like it is better to take travelling with you and will fit into a small to medium bag. However, the smaller size means that your hands aren't quite as relaxed and spread out on the keyboard. Although, it has to be said that I have rather large hands and so this might be a personal thing and anyone who found the 4000 too big in that respect, may disagree with me. The small size is an issue for me not just because of hand position but because there is less room for individual keys. So for example, the number pad on the 4000 is a separate entity and as far as I can remember does not have any important functions doubled up on the numbers. However this keyboard does not have so much room, so the 'Home' and 'End' buttons, are doubled up as the '7' and '1' keys respectively. This is less than ideal because instead of dedicated buttons that are easy to locate whilst touch-typing, the numberpad is not so instinctive to use, is not raised and is sloped away from the main keys. This means that I often have to glance down at the keyboard to use those keys (I use them a lot!) which in itself negates the advantage of touch-typing in the first place. Still on the subject of keys, their position and ease-of-use, the backspace key is also annoying. On the 4000 it is raised and positioned in such a way that you always hit the exact key you're aiming for. However, on the Arteck, the backspace key is flush with the surrounding keys and I find myself hitting the num lock key way too often for it to be a coincidence. The arrow keys (again, keys I use a lot) are not great either, they are flush with the 'ctrl' key and the 'zero' on the numberpad, therefore I am miss pressing a lot when I go to use them. As a side note the arrow keys double up as 'Home', 'End', 'Page up', and 'Page down', however these are functions so you need to hold down function whilst using them. I can't imagine any touch-typist using the keys in this way, it is cumbersome and time consuming. Now we come to the non-key part of the design. The Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 is comfortable and prevents RSI for two main reasons, one the soft pad to rest your palms on as you type. The second (more important) reason is the fact you can angle the 4000 up at the palms, so that the keyboard has a pronounced downward slope, this has the effect of putting the wrists into a more neutral and natural position. I can testify to the effectiveness of the 4000 in getting rid of RSI because it worked for me instantly, my intense wrist pain was alleviated the moment I used the 4000. The Arteck does the same thing but as in the key design, it doesn't do it as well. The 4000 has a separate piece which you attach to the underside of the keyboard, giving it around a 50mm rise height from the desk. This is cumbersome because you have two pieces instead of one; however, it is extremely effective at stopping any kind of repetitive strain. The Arteck achieves the lift by putting two small feet at the back, underside of the keyboard which raises it around 20 mm, so you can hardly notice it and my hands are nowhere near as comfy as when I use the 4000. There are feet at the front as well and this is lucky because one of my back feet snapped off and I simply replaced it with one of the front ones, seeing as I won't ever use those. So in conclusion, what the Arteck has over the 4000 is it is bluetooth. This matters to me because I have destroyed about five different Microsoft keyboards by spilling stuff onto them, which would have been avoided in all the cases if I had simply moved my keyboard while eating my dinner, but because it was cable, I (stupidly) couldn't be bothered. Unfortunately the 4000 has rocketed in price and so hence me buying an Arteck. I suppose some people would see the smaller size as another thing the Arteck has over the Microsoft keyboard, but as mentioned above, I think it is to the Arteck's detriment as there isn't enough room on the keyboard. The 4000 has nicer feeling, better placed keys, it has more dedicated one-function-only keys that are easy to locate without looking at them. Even the small nobbles on the 'F' and 'J' keys are better on the 4000 than the Arteck. The 4000 is infinitely more comfortable (Just typing this review has got my wrist twinging a bit) than the Arteck but unfortunately it is about three and a half times the price. So if you're wondering if the Arteck is a like-for-like swap with the 4000, wonder no more, because it's not. It is adequate though and so I will carry on using it until I can afford to get a 4000 with bluetooth. The Arteck will always be my travel keyboard because lugging around the 4000 on holiday wasn't fun, but when it comes to typing at my desk, size matters and bigger is better! Hope that helps!
