Plus, that added space allows for a proper Fn button instead of the toggle on the Sculpt. Since the Ergonomic Keyboard isn't really something you'll be traveling with, it's probably the right choice to just add it permanently. With the Sculpt, Microsoft included a separate, also-wireless number pad that you could either position next to the keyboard and use - or toss in a drawer somewhere. A number pad is now included in the main layout, making the keyboard's footprint larger than before. That's good! The Bluetooth alone might convince me to upgrade. Using the Sculpt required wasting a USB port and plugging in a dongle, but the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard uses Bluetooth. The most important change is in the way they connect. There are a few differences between the Surface and Sculpt versions. It's far from cheap, but should easily be worth the cost if typing at a desk is something you spend doing for multiple hours every day. That's just for the keyboard this time they're not forcing a mouse on you. It's available to pre-order now for $129. Today, Microsoft introduced a successor to the three-year-old Sculpt model: the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard. It made an immediate difference in keeping my hands comfortable and ache-free when working from home and typing away. Marco Arment's thorough review convinced me to fork over around 80 bucks for the mouse-included Desktop bundle (on sale) several months ago you can't buy the keyboard standalone. I'm a big fan of Microsoft's Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard.
