My main problem with it is that it isn't a standard layout. For that reason, I went with the Surface Ergonomic instead, which, while still not standard, is more standard than the Sculpt.
- pmiller2 7y agoWhat do you find nonstandard about it? I was able to start writing code on mine right away, and I’m a touch typist.
- stronglikedan 7y agoThe nav keys, right control key, and function keys are all in the wrong place, and IIRC, all the keys are a bit too small, so I was hitting two at a time sometimes. I also prefer a right hand super key so I can lock my workstation with one hand.
- pmiller2 7y agoI guess I never really noticed about the nav keys and function keys because I don't use them much. I would like to have slightly bigger keys, but it's not enough of a downside to me to use a different keyboard. (Side note: why don't keyboards come in different sizes by default? Hands come in different sizes, so should keyboards.)
- cwyers 7y agoI like a lot about the Surface Ergo, but the lack of any kind of a front riser option was a dealbreaker for me.
