Num Lock is now part of a 9-key cluster above the arrow keys, and Print Screen has been moved from its usual position, allowing Num Lock to slide in as seen above. In fact, this is what will confuse some people initially since a few things are not where you would expect them to be. There is still the numpad on the right, but it is modified not only with a few extra keys up top since some keys have also been moved to the left. We also don't lose any dedicated keys with Microsoft not going the small form-factor route, as we instead even have a larger-than-full-size keyboard form factor here. The tenting of your hands as they type on the keyboard is naturally integrated through the contours of the keyboard case. What does differentiate the Microsoft offering from most ergonomic keyboards on the market is that we don't get a split keyboard layout. This is not to say that the current-generation Microsoft ergonomic keyboard is bad by any means, it's still a very good design that has been a source of inspiration for a few others, including the Truly Ergonomic keyboard that will look quite familiar with the layout and design. There is now also a Microsoft Surface version of the ergonomic keyboard with more color as well as a more premium construction for the integrated wrist rest. Things are more subtle this time around, with a color scheme so monochrome converting the photographs to black and white did not change anything. There isn't much to say here, except that this keyboard is still following the tried and tested layout of the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard from yesteryear. If pictures are worth a thousand words then that's six thousand up there.
