J-Tech DigitalWireless Ergonomic Split Keyboard w Display Screen Rechargeable Battery Removable Wrist Rest | Supports Multi-Device (2.4G+BT1+BT2) 12 Multimedia Keys Compatible with Windows/Mac/iPad

Small capital key

I love split keyboards because the wrist and hand positions feel more natural. On this one I like the raised center for the same reason. I also like the fact that the wrist rest is separate rather than permanently attached because my keyboard shelf has a built-in wrist rest so I don't need one attached to the keyboard.*However, the right-hand Shift key is a button instead of a rectangle and it's really easy to miss when typing. Also the Function buttons are really big and I keep hitting them instead of the numbers. I have no idea why the designers made those changes because they are unnecessary and annoying. Returning for refund.

At work I have been using a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard, but I use a JTech Digital Ergonomic vertical mouse. The mouse was so good, I bought one for home and decided I would check out their other offerings. I found this keyboard and I am very glad that I made the choice to try it. It has Bluetooth and 2.4 wireless. The magnetic hand wrest is nice when you need the room you can easily move it aside. The keys feel are responsive when typing and the overall design is very relaxing for extended work/home use. I definitely recommend this product as well as their vertical mouse products.

Pro’s:~Wireless 2.4GHz and Bluetooth x2~Display shows connection mode, battery, and OS~Optional wrist rest~Windows and Mac compatible with Keys to identify both~Build in 10 key~Multimedia buttons~Rechargeable batteryCon’s:~Right Shift Key is tiny~Keys are pretty noisy~Magnets to hold wrist rest in place are very weakWireless Ergonomic keyboards are pretty hard to find. There are a couple of well known brand options out there but they are very expensive and they are tailored to one operating system(OS). I recently purchased the JTD wireless ergonomic keyboard because I use both a Windows and Mac computer at my desk with a singular keyboard/mouse setup and I love how the JDT keyboard has keys labeled and programmed to handle both.In the box:In the box, you get the keyboard, a wrist rest, an instruction manual and a USB A to USB C cable.Setup:Setup is very easy. My keyboard actually came with a 100% charge so I did not have to charge it first. There in an ON/OFF switch on the top side of the keyboard that you flip to the ON position. The screen on the front will show you the battery percentage. If yours is not charged, you can plug in in the USB cable to charge it. There are two ways to connect this keyboard, through the USB dongle using 2.4 GHz wireless or Bluetooth. This keyboard can actually connect to two different Bluetooth devices at the same time and can be switched easily between them using the Mode buttons on the right side above the number pad. To connect the keyboard via bluetooth, you just go to your bluetooth settings on whatever device you want to connect it to, and press and hold the BT1 or BT2 key on the keyboard until it enters syncing mode.The wrist rest is an optional piece that connects to the bottom of the keyboard with magnets. The magnets are very weak and barely hold the two pieces together which I did not like very much.Use:The keyboard itself is a bit noisy. That said, I am coming from a more laptop style keyboard with very quiet keys. I have a USB switcher connected to both my Windows work computer and my personal Mac. I use the 2.4 GHz dongle in that switcher and going back and fourth which was extremely simple. When I switched to my windows computer, I hit the Mac/Windows button and it switched to Windows. When I switched back to my Mac, I pressed that same Mac/Windows key and it swaps right over. Since I am using a USB switcher, I have to push two buttons; the USB switcher button and the Mac/Windows button. If you connected both via Bluetooth, you would just need to press the proper Bluetooth mode button.My biggest issue with the keyboard, and likely the main reason I will not use this keyboard as my main keyboard, is the right side Shift key. JTD put the direction keys right in between the Shift key and the “?” key. By doing this, there is now not enough space to make the shift key a full two key length. Whenever I type with the keyboard and try to hit that right shift key, I end up hitting the Up arrow. I’m sure in time I would learn to reach a little further, but I do see this as a flaw in the design since most keyboards have larger shift keys.Conclusion:The JTD wireless ergonomic keyboard is a great option if you are connecting to multiple devices and multiple operating systems. With a simple push of a button, they keyboard can be switched from device to device or OS to OS. The keys are nicely labeled for both Windows and Mac and all of the multimedia keys work as expected. The screen is a nice addition which indicates what OS you are on, what mode you are connected to, and the battery level. I wish the magnets were stronger to hold the wrist rest in place better and the right shift key was longer.

I am regularly working on two Raspberry Pis at the same time and I needed an extra keyboard for efficiency. This seemed like a potentially good solution. The ergonomic layout and wrist rest are nice. Possibly also useful is the ability to select whether you are using the keyboard on either a Mac or Windows machine (no Linux option), but to dedicate space on the keyboard to these selections is wasteful. On a Mac, when you hit delete the cursor moves backwards and on Windows, forwards, but those behaviors aren’t replicated when you make the machine selection on the keyboard. Also, to dedicate buttons for selecting 2.4G, BT-1 and BT-2 is also questionable. The instructions for making these decisions are both minimal and confusing. Another issue is that four of the keys are yellow with white printing (why?), which is very difficult to read. There is a status window to show some of the settings, but it is small and very dim, so also difficult to read. I experienced a significant lag between when I typed to when it appeared on the screen. However, this might have been because I was using a Pi. Do your research before making a selection.

I picked up this wireless keyboard for use with my PS5 and it works well for that. It’s a simply plug and play set-up that didn’t require any BT setup on my console because I simply plug in the small BT USB-A receiver into the front of my console. What is nice is that there is a small compartment on the bottom of the keyboard where you can store this USB dongle.The keys are a good size, but I think they could be more responsive. They all work, but I’m not so used to round keys, and that makes a difference. The LCD display is worthless. It’s very small, you can’t see what it says without getting up close to it.. The symbols and letters on the keys are transfers that are stuck on, and I do wonder how long they will last. Whoever decided to put white transfers on yellow keys though? You cannot see them without moving around to change your viewing angle. The wrist rest does attach to the keyboard magnetically, but barely. The magnets are very weak and are useless.Overall, this keyboard works fine, but it’s very cheaply made.
