Keyboard Review: Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless
The build quality of Kensington Pro Fit Ergo wireless keyboard is decent. It’s a pretty cheap board that has a lot of flexibility but it doesn’t look like it’s going to break any minute. Keycaps are quite shaky and feel cheap. On the positive side, the palmrest is covered with a beautiful structured leather fabric and the overall construction looks similar to other ergonomic curved boards available. If you want a similar keyboard with better build quality, take a look at the Microsoft Surface ergonomic keyboard.
The ergonomics of the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo wireless keyboard are excellent. This ergonomic design has a nice curve to its board, reducing wrist pronation, which could help with wrist fatigue over time, even if we don’t test it. It also has three feet that create a negative angle, putting the wrists in a more natural typing position. The board also has a split key layout.The typing quality offered by the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo wireless keyboard is decent. It’s not particularly different from most keyboards and doesn’t offer anything too special. The keys are quite soft due to the rubber dome switches and the keys feel slightly cheap and a bit shaky. On the bright side, you shouldn’t feel too tired typing on it when you get used to the keyboard layout.
This keyboard has excellent compatibility and is extremely versatile due to its Bluetooth connection. However, although it is fully Compatible with Windows, there are some keys that do not work depending on the operating system you are using, even if all alphanumeric keys work. On mobile devices, you’ll need to use bluetooth connection to use the keyboard.

The plate is completely plastic and does not have the most durable key caps, but offers incredible ergonomics with comfortable rest on the wrist and the ability to use your feet to create a negative angle. This wireless keyboard supports multi-device pairing with the receiver and via Bluetooth, making it very versatile, and can be used with virtually any operating system, whether it’s computers or mobile devices.
I’m getting a USB-powered light to help see the F keys on this keyboard because of my setup — I use stands to set my laptop screen at a more comfortable height and have it a little closer, so it actually sticks out over this keyboard—as sometimes I miss going by feel, and it’s just a little bit dark with my configuration. If the keys were lighted, I wouldn’t need it, but that would increase the cost and drain the power, so I’m content to ignore it. I suspect that many people will experience the same issue.
