Great Keyboard
I bought this keyboard to replace my broken one. I was not sure if I was going to like the ergonomic design. After getting used to, I love it. The key board is relatively quiet. It has lots of buttons to make task quick. I would definitely recommend.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this keyboard
This keyboard is quiet compared to several others I've owned in the past year (four different Logitechs and a MacAlly).I enjoy getting back to the split keyboard design. I used to have a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard years ago. I find the split much easier on my wrists.I appreciate having the function keys separate from the media keys because I have direct access to both capabilities without having to think about what ctrl or fn key I need to press for what. My most recent Logitec keyboard defaulted to media keys and there's a software option to switch F-keys to be the default. Either way, I was having to think, "Do I press a FN key for this or not?"Two features that are undesirable for me are the "Sleep" and "Power Down" keys being so close to other keys. Personally, I'd prefer these two keys not even exist. It's too easy to hit the "sleep" key instead of the Calculator key, and there's no stopping it... it's going to go to sleep --- or worse, power down. I decided to remedy the situation. I was thinking these two keys would just pop right out. They didn't. I had to use a small screwdriver and forceps to wrench them out, cracking the plastic flanges off, and fishing them out of the holes. I then covered the holes with black squares of toolbox liner. Problem solved. I'm pleased with the results.Several have complained that the "wrist rest" is too small. This keyboard does not claim to have a "wrist rest." It's a "palm rest." With that understood, it's the perfect size. If you want a wrist rest, you can add one of your own.I don't have much use for the scroll wheel. It moves too far with each "notch" and I haven't found a way to adjust it. The mouse scroll wheel is much more precise.Overall, I'm very pleased with this keyboard.UPDATE 2024-04-22:It's been a little over two months, and this keyboard is finished. It's started repeating spaces on the right spacebar in frantic sequences, racing across the screen. Other keys are starting to duplicate characters as well. This makes the keyboard useless for any serious work. Granted, I use my keyboard up to eight yours a day for significant document creation and editing, but failure shouldn't occur within the first year, I think.If you want a keyboard that will work for two months, this is a good one. If you want a better quality keyboard that will last longer, look somewhere else.

Not as ergonomic as Microsoft Natural
The keyboard is spread out to a degree however the keys are all on the same plane. Meaning it is just like a normal keyboard, just split in the middle. I hoped it would be raised like the Natural. If you expect height of the keys, this isn't for you.

I like it a lot, this is my 2nd one after accidentally spilled water on it.This keyboard works great; my wrist rest comfortably on it when I type & very easy to connect.

Keys stick
I like Adesso but this key board is a bad one, the keys stick. For the value of this item NO!!!! I even tried to return the first one and got a second one and the same issue, the minute I pluged it in the tab and enter button are sticking. Returning the second one as well and not reordering this key board, Going back to the Adesso Model PCK-208B

Great work keyboard
I really love this keyboard for work. It's really comfortable, and I love the two space bars. 😌

Great product for the price.
Best keyboard I've used. The keys feel great, easier to press than a regular keyboard. The layout takes a little getting used to if you swap to this from a regular keyboard, but it's amazing once it clicks.Edit: there is a very annoying POWER BUTTON in the top right of the keyboard. Hard to remove as well.

Not as comfortable to use as Adesso WKB-4500UB
I thought I would be OK with this simpler model, but the left and right hands are too close together and the keys are to "clicky". I returned this one and went with the more expensive model, which I love.
