Sure maybe the keyboard is more ergonomic but that mouse looks like a hokey puck. They are trying to copy magic mouse which in my opinion is an awful mouse if we are taking about hand and arm comfort.

That mouse reminds me of the most popular ergonomic mouse in history:

Except it has an all important start button on the top...

 

And that keyboard *facepalm*

 

The previous version was already going the wrong way, this one is one of the worst keyboard/mouse combo I have ever seen...

I think I understand the mouse, guys.

If you look at your arm holding your mouse. Notice how you turn your front arm so that your hand to be flat with the mouse and table. The mouse from Microsoft allows your arm and hand to stay at the "default" position.

I found a picture that explains what I am trying to explain:

I'm not sure how I would adapt and find that strange shape but damn that's one expensive membrane.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

Shame that is wireless, I had 2 microsoft keyboards and they each last me about 10 years, I would buy this one if was wired.    

 

It was a pain to learn how to type on normal keyboards again after using their ergonomic setup for 14 years.  XD

Mystery is the source of all true science.

Nobody in their tech savvy mind would buy this, unfortunate i do know many people who would choose this over mechanical keyboards.

I have never tried ergonomic keyboards. Are they any comfortable? Or does it just feel wrong?

 

They seem pretty decent honestly.

it probably feels wrong at first but when you get used to it its much more comfortable because its been designed to have you position your arms in the least tension inducing way

What I like about it:

 

windows button on mouse might come in handy

numpad is seperate

 

What I dislike about it:

 

Price. What the actual fudge were they thinking?

Mouse looks like a cat toy

WIRELESS?!? Dat latency

build quality (I can already hear them squeak..)

not mechanical

The Microsoft logo, having those on your desk makes you 40% less pro instantly

no forward/backward buttons on mouse

It doesn't even say what DPI the mouse is rated or at what report rate the wireless signal reports at

No backlight

 

I am sure there's more, but it's 4:30 am here atm...

it's meant more for work  and to prevent repetitive injuries,  which is what ergnomic keyboards are designed to do.

 

also stop with the mechanical keyboard eliteisam it's dum, seriously   some people woudl think it ridiculous that a person would spend  more the 15 dollers on a keyboard, does that make them wrong ?
