Individual key travel is deep; I’d peg it around the 2mm mark.

Like most split keyboards, some of the keys bordering the divide have a wider keycap for easier presses.
I downloaded Kensington’s “Keyboard Konnect” software to test out its promise of deeper customization.
I wasn’t expecting the software to be so good.

Even the extra media and tool shortcut buttons are game.

Even Snippets and macros are available for power users.
A big part of the Pro Fit Ergo KB675’s appeal is undoubtedly its wireless connectivity.
Kensington didn’t stop with just offering a standard 2.4GHz dongle hookup.

Like most competing wireless keyboards worth your time, it can connect to three separate devices simultaneously.
Connecting to devices with Bluetooth is seamless, and switching between connected PCs requires just one button press.
The 2.4GHz dongle doesn’t reach as far, but it does have 128-bit AES encryption for office use.

The keyboard also lacks a backlight, something you might need if you often work late.
At least the white font stands out well against the black background.

The Wave Keys keeps the keycaps together but has a wavy design for a more natural typing position.
It’s wireless (with Logitech’s similar quick-switching tech), and it has a built-in wrist rest.
It lacks a backlight, and it runs on two AAA batteries instead of having something built-in and rechargeable.

Like the Wave Keys, it runs on two AAA batteries.
you could usually find it for somewherearound $100.
It usuallycosts about $120, so you are paying a premium for the additional hardware.

You often work across platforms and devices, where the quick-switching capabilities make themselves useful.
You don’t want to spend more than about $65 on a keyboard.
you’re free to’t work without a backlight or without a number pad.
In terms of typing, the keyboard doesn’t really offer anything special.
The keyboard’s setup is hassle-free, connecting with Bluetooth or the included 2.4GHz USB-A receiver.
And though it’s not required, I was impressed by Kensington’s Konnect software.
It’s easy to navigate, and it handles deep customization with multiple profile setups.
