OPEN BOX - Black USB Left Handed Keyboard Cherry Mechanical Switch Ergoguys

Bought this keyboard for CAD work so I could easily use the number pad with my left hand while keeping my right hand in the mouse. It works great for it. Only complaint would be the noise of the keyboard. It is not loud like a keyboard with Cherry Blue switches but there is definitely a hollow spring noise if you are typing swiftly. Without lubing or swapping switches, it doesn't seem possible to remedy this but it is not a deal breaker at all. The other complaint I have is some of the keys can get stuck down. "Page Up", "Page Down", "Pause" and "ESC" are the main offenders. Loosening the keyboard housing then tighten it again seemed to fix the issue.

we purchased this item and months later the "a" key stopped working - they will not accept the return and the manufacturer will not reply. we were given no options

I bought this keyboard in June 2015. I'm writing this review in May 2021 so I have been using this keyboard as my daily work computer for 6 years. I basically live on my computer >6 hours a day so this keyboard has seen a lot of use. I bought this keyboard because I am a lefty and wanted a number pad on the left side of my desk. I use excel every day and this made it much easier to type numbers while being able to use the mouse with my right hand to change cells. It also allows me to use the arrow keys and mouse without removing my hand from the mouse. This is a HUGE advantage for anyone who makes use of a number pad often. I would recommend a left-handed number pad / arrow setup to anyone who preforms a lot of tasks on a number pad. The arrow keys are moved to the left as well which as taken some getting used to, but if you force yourself to switch to this keyboard it will become 2nd nature to use those keys with you left hand. At this point I can switch between this keyboard and a normal one with no issue. The keycaps are fine, they have held up fine with the exception of the spacebar key which has lost it's texture and become smooth. Not an issue for me. The cherry red switches seem great, I have had no issue with this switches. I use cherry red switches due to a knuckle injury as it reduces the stress on my knuckle (which has arthritis now from the injury). So in summary. This keyboard has held up to 6 years of daily use in an office environment. The key caps and switches have worked flawlessly. It will take some time to get used to a left-handed keyboard, but I think it would help anyone to be more productive (right-handed or left-handed)

Super clavier! Les touches sont faciles et profondes. Moi j’adore!

I bought this for my daughter and she really appreciates how the reduced distance between the mouse and the keyboard has reduced her shoulder pain to 0.
