Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard (LXM-00004)

It stands out for crisp key feel for a membrane keyboard, better than most budget splits and conventional layout keeps the learning curve short, typically under a week. The tradeoff: no tenting or adjustable splay, the angle is fixed at the factory.

It stands out for crisp key feel for a membrane keyboard, better than most budget splits and conventional layout keeps the learning curve short, typically under a week. The tradeoff: no tenting or adjustable splay, the angle is fixed at the factory.

Pros

  • Crisp key feel for a membrane keyboard, better than most budget splits
  • Conventional layout keeps the learning curve short, typically under a week
  • Cushioned palm rest is integrated rather than a separate add-on
  • Simple wired USB setup that IT departments can standardize without software installs

Cons

  • No tenting or adjustable splay, the angle is fixed at the factory
  • Wired only, no Bluetooth or wireless option
  • Splay is modest, so it does less for shoulder stra in than a fully split board
  • No programmable keys or macro support
