Microsoft Unveils Its Surface Ergonomic Keyboard

While Microsoft might be known for their software like Windows and Office, the company also dabbles in hardware, like keyboard and mice. Granted they don’t get the same amount of attention compared to the likes of other peripheral makers, but Microsoft’s keyboards have over the years have been pretty well-received especially amongst casual users.

One of the more iconic keyboard offerings comes in the form of the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, which Microsoft has since redesigned and released as the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard. Note that both products are separate from each other, but as you can clearly see in the design, the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard certainly reminds us of the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.

That being said, there are some obvious differences. For starters the keyboard will have a palm rest that is wrapped in a double-cushioned Alcantara that promises to be gentler on your hands. The keyboard is also wireless and will be powered by a pair of AAA batteries that according to Microsoft, will last users an entire year.

Now obviously you can use any keyboard you want with the newly announced Surface Studio AIO desktop, but if you’re a stickler for keeping your gadgets themed, then we guess the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard could be worth checking out. It is priced at $130 but if you’d rather not pay so much, for $100 there is the regular Surface Keyboard which is more compact but features backlit keys.
