The last time Microsoft released a new ergonomic keyboard design was 2007's Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000, which looks and sounds boring by today's standards. The new Sculpt series marks an entirely new approach to both the design and branding of Microsoft's PC accessories business, Goud says. "But, if you think of what we've done with it over the last 20 years, we've mainly focused on the colors, the materials." On Tuesday, that changes with the introduction of Microsoft's Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard and mouse - a new setup that wouldn't look out of place on J.J. "That natural design that we came up with in 1994, it has probably been one of the most studied, one of the most iconic designs in the ergonomic keyboard space," Goud told The Verge in an interview. It's largely because ergo-hardware has been bulky, dated, and just plain uncool, says Suneel Goud, the product manager behind the first significant reboot in the history of Microsoft's ergonomic accessory line.
The reason? It isn't because typing on a flat surface is more comfortable or healthier for you. For nearly two decades, Microsoft has sold ergonomic keyboards, but you likely haven't used one for very long, if at all.
