960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard - Connect 3 Devices with Bluetooth & Unifying Dongle Connectivity - 20 Programmable Keys, Detached Numeric Keypad - Extra-Large Foam Wrist Rest, Long Battery Life

Great replacement for MS Sculpt. I actually like this one better. I set up the blue tooth so I could use my mouse with the dongle. That took a bit to set up. Then I accidentally turned off the blue tooth pairing, searching for the print screen button, which this keyboard does not have for some reason. Hitting the Windows shift S buttons remedies this. The letters are big, keyboard clicks are great, similar to sculpt. Fit is great. Wrist rest is a bit larger than the sculpt, so getting used to that, but it is OK. I'm a CPA. Heavy use of keyboard and keypad. Working about 100 hours a week right now!! Keypad is great as well. I LOVE the more raised key bumps on the F and J keys. That is a big upgrade for me. Overall a huge thumbs up foe HP. The price was great. Happy to have found this keyboard combo. It does NOT come with a mouse!! But able to use my old sculpt mouse with it. The sculpt wrist rest was constantly dirty. The surface of this one seems a bit more durable, resistant to oily hand cream, etc. Time will tell how it holds up. I had worn half the letters off my Sculpt in 1.5 years, to give an idea of how much I type. Heavy Heavy user!!! Good luck! Highly recommend this one. Good job, HP!!

Keyboard was great at first, but I've noticed very annoying lagging in typing when changing browser windows or tabs. I'm a product designer who works from home and am constantly on my computer. Ergonomic keyboards are critical for my health, I can get elbow and wrist pains if I'm not careful. Lagging keys disrupt my work and literally make me unable to use this keyboard anymore. I purchased this keyboard with a separate number keypad because I'm also using my mouse all day, and keyboards with attached keypads hold my wrist at an uncomfortable angle. I also couldn't figure out how to make the keypad work. >_< Kind of disappointed, was hoping this keyboard was better than my Logitech keyboard but I think I'm gonna have to go back to that brand.

I like this keyboard. I switched directly from my aged MS Sculp Ergonomic Keyboard (I have owned 6) to this HP960 Ergonomic Keyboard and my hands could not tell any difference. It was great. This HP keyboard is just a tad bit heavier than the MS Sculpt, but it comes across in a good way. It is more adjustable for a negative tilt (if you want) than the MS Sculpt. It will do a positive tilt too if you desire. There was zero problem with the included dongle pairing. No drivers needed to be installed (Windows 11). But the other thing that makes the HP 960 really nice is that I Bluetooth paired it with two of my laptops, no dongle required. It is so convenient. If you know how to go to Bluetooth Devices (just search for it) in Windows, that helps. No, that tip is not in the setup instructions and that might be the source of the negative complaints about the setup instructions. On the HP960 Keyboard, the setup trick is to press down on either the Bluetooth 1 or Bluetooth 2 button in the upper right-had corner of the keyboard until there is a little white light blinking twice slowly every few seconds, that means the keyboard is in Bluetooth pairing mode. When I first tried, I had the first button (the dongle button) blinking when I needed to press and get the Bluetooth button blinking. There are three buttons in the upper right-hand corner to switch between the dongle and two different Bluetooth pairings. You could have this keyboard setup to type on 3 different devices (one at a time).

HP dropped the ball on this design. The keys are large which is counterproductive to the ergonomic design. While the larger keys with large lettering make it easier to see, the larger keys requires you to spread your fingers further than normal to reach the keys which is painful to someone like me who already deals with some light carpal tunnel pain. The keyboard is made of cheap, hard plastic which looks tacky. The padding on the wrist pad is so thin, it may as well be considered a hard plastic wrist rest. Microsoft has a way better quality keyboard that I've worn down over the last 3 years but I'd rather use it than this horrible, cheap design.

I purchased this to replace my Microsoft sculpt keyboard. This is probably the closest keyboard from a mainstream brand that’s available other than that incase version that happens to be sold out constantly. I will say some of the keys are not exactly in the same place, which is annoying. The keys tend to be a lot bigger than the Microsoft version so it does take some adapting to. I purchase an open box keyboard because I couldn’t conjure paying full price. I received all the accessories and batteries. the keyboard it self looks brand new. Overall although it’s not an exact replica of the Microsoft sculpt, I think it’s a good keyboard that isn’t too high and has enough for support while not overdoing it. I use it on a MAC so there are some differences to those using it on an HP. Overall I’d recommend it to someone looking for a decent keyboard.

Best replacement I could find for the Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard. I like the Sculpt a bit better, but this has the same hand position. One thing to watch out for is if you like having the wrist rest raised, you have to pull out all 3 tabs underneath. It wasn't clear to me other than the middle tab, and the keyboard would have been wobbly. The outer 2 tabs looked just like rubber pads to me at first. It is nice though that the tilt mechanism is built in, as opposed to the Sculpts separate magnetic attachment. Some other things are better than the Sculpt: Keys are marked for both Mac and Windows, and the default works correctly on the Mac without remapping. It also has an Fn modifier key vs the switch on the Sculpt to get the dual function out of the function keys. One other thing to watch for ... to get the bluetooth paired the instructions say to hold down the corresponding bluetooth key for 2 seconds, and this did not work. In frustration at one point, I hit the bluetooth key twice quickly, and it paired! The dongle also works, so you have 2 different bluetooth connections and the dongle so you can attach to multiple computers. The keyboard feels solid, and the key action is nice as well, if just slightly more clackity than the Sculpt. Also, the Command, Alt, Windows, Ctrl keys are smaller than on the Sculpt, so it takes just a bit getting used to.

So reading the manual helps a lot LOL. That being said, I have used the Microsoft version of this same design for 2 sets, and it was buggy at times. I mean, this is a keyboard people and numpad! This tech has been around for so long! Anyways, cheaper that me trying to source the MS version. I really like the larger size keys. Shape is pretty much the same, split style ergonomic (my fav). Huge bonus is the Bluetooth, welcome to the 21st century. You can actually program 2 devices to the keyboard and numpad. It also comes with the dongle just incase. Another PLUS! I hope the battery life is better than the MS version (I mean I changed batteries like minimum 3x per year. RIDICULOUS! Totally recommend for those who like Both the split style keyboard as well as a separate num pad (again my fav). ENJOY!

I bought this to replace my Microsoft ergo keyboard. For typing, it is very similar and have had no issues adjusting. The key presses are pretty quiet which is nice. However, connecting this to your computer is a royal pain, especially if you have the vertical mouse. Frankly, I don't know why there isn't a class action case because it is so bad. I have 2 computers. One has bluetooth and that seems to connect OK for both devices. But the other doesn't have bluetooth and I need to use the universal wireless dongle that is supposed to support many HP devices. However, I've yet to be able to connect the keyboard and the mouse to the dongle. The instructions HP provides are totally worthless and I've been in tech for over 40 years and managed many software products for the largest tech companies. I also tried using Youtube videos. However, those cover older versions of the dongle only; HP doesn't have new videos out for this dongle version. I tried following all the instructions and it just doesn't work. I also tried to use HP support. But when you put in the model number for the keyboard and mouse, it doesn't have any content--it just sends you to the marketing content. I then tried to get support through chat. However, HP won't give chat support for these products unless you pay for support or you have a more expensive product like a computer that is covered under warranty. Keyboards and mice should be no-brainers to use, especially when you pay the extra premium for their highest end versions, but HP clearly doesn't get that for this model of devices. I would give the product a 4+ for the keyboard build, but a 1 for connectivity. So for an overall rating I'm giving it a 2.

Excellent comfort while touch typing, matching natural position of hand. Wrist at rest. Minimal movement of fingers. Tactile feedback good. Keypress depth adequate. No shaking of keys. Power saving sleep mode happens silently without affecting work. Tiny problem - 'B' is positioned at left side. Used to type 'B' with right hand. Adjusted after some days. Similar problem with '6' also. If you want to raise farther edge of keyboard to see the keys more clearly to look and type, no built in legs for that. Optional negative tilt (legs to raise closer edge) supported, helpful if your elbows are above the level of keyboard. These legs can stay folded if your seat is low.

Best keyboard after 25 years of keyboards. I have used the Microsoft sculp and Logitech ergonomic whatever keyboards. Microsoft was actually good, except for horrible connectivity quality and overall slowness. Logitech's layout had something I could not get used to even after using it for 2 years. The software is not stable. For some reason my fingers were hurting after long typing sessions. Could be key travel or the dynamics curve if key presses. This one, has none of the issues and all the pros and even some. The layout is pretty much perfect. Key presses honestly feel like a low profile mechanical keyboard ones. The sound is not quite but very satisfactory. All keys are sturdy. You know if you pressed or released a key. Honestly, even if it breaks tomorrow, I would buy another one right away.

I’ve been trying out a variety of ergonomic keyboards due to pain in my right arm/shoulder, and hoped the HP 960 would be the solution with its Alice-style split and tented middle section. I really like it, especially compared to a similar ProtoArc EK04 keyboard I tried, but unfortunately it’s not enough to relieve my pain. I think I’ll need a fully split keyboard that allows me to keep my arms pointed straight ahead of my shoulders. If you don’t have shoulder issues like I do, the 960 is a great keyboard. Here's why. The 960 connects with a unifying USB dongle that can handle up to 8 HP devices, or by Bluetooth to two other devices. There are dedicated keys to switch modes on both the keyboard and number pad. The keycaps have the ever-so-slightest depressions for your fingers instead of flat tops, and are very pleasant to the touch. The lettering is slightly raised, so I suspect it's just painted on top. That doesn't bode well for longevity, but feels great under your fingers. You can reprogram all of the function keys, the two keys above Backspace (Dictation and Lock), and the six navigation-cluster keys. You can pick any keystroke, define your own combos (though no macros), or choose from a wide range that includes mouse clicks and scrolling. That's pretty decent for a consumer-oriented keyboard. Unfortunately, you can't reprogram the dedicated MS Copilot key that's been added next to the Right Alt key, but it's easy to ignore if you don't want to use it. You also can't program the number pad. Now, here's the real gem: the custom commands are stored on the keyboard, so you don't need to have the app running in the background. Saying that, I don't even mind having the HP Accessory Center app running in the background. It's easy to install from the Windows Store, and unlike Logi Options+ it loads instantly and appears to be very lightweight. I really wish HP would make a version that split the keyboard into separate halves, so that I could get a bit more separation. That might be a perfect keyboard.

Finally found the perfect replacement to Microsoft Sculpt. If that's what you are used to, stop looking and get this one. Easy transition. Angles are just right for a ergonomic posture. Smooth keystrokes just like the Sculpt. Extra perks makes it even better than the Sculpt. Remap keys compatible using PowerToys app. Bravo HP! Love it!

I spent a long time researching ergonomic keyboards before choosing the HP 960. On paper, it seemed perfect for my needs, I really liked the concept, especially the separated numpad and the overall design. It’s a unique and thoughtful layout that I was genuinely excited to use. Unfortunately, the actual experience didn’t live up to expectations. Within just a few hours of use, the backspace key started to squeak. It’s a small thing, but when you type a lot, it quickly becomes very noticeable and frustrating, especially considering the premium feel this keyboard is supposed to deliver. It completely takes away from what is otherwise a well-designed product. I really wanted to love this keyboard, so I tried to resolve the issue. HP support was essentially nonexistent for this problem, which was disappointing. Amazon offered a replacement or refund, and I chose to replace it—but the second unit had the exact same issue on the first day. Again, the squeaking started after just a few hours. At that point, it felt like a consistent quality control problem rather than bad luck. Overall, I love the idea behind this keyboard, but the execution just isn’t there. It’s really disappointing because it could have been great, but the reliability issues and lack of proper support made this a sad experience.
