PSA time, I suppose: I've got a UK example of this keyboard, and it's no better than OK. The chiclet layout has ordinary-size keys, but the gaps between them (that the mechanism requires...) are larger than normal. The # key on the Sculpt is as far away from H as the Return key is normally; the Return key is another key further out. Very uncomfortable. Test drive before purchase. A big shame, because the key action is pretty good, the rearranged navigation keys are - as these things go - sensible, and of course the separate numeric pad is pretty useful. Independently-mappable space bar halves would have been nice though.
(If you have any friends in America, get one of them to buy you an American version. I bet they're much better, and the wider Return key will prove easier to reach.)
Quite why they just can't sell an MS Ergonomic 4000 with mechanical switches, I have absolutely no idea. Just about every other niche of mechanical keyboard fiend is very well served - except the people that want a split mechanical keyboard with a layout that hasn't been pissed about with. They're shit out of luck.
