Review: Would be perfect replacement for Microsoft Sculpt if only I could get it in black - I was upset when I accidentally ruined my Microsoft Sculpt keyboard a couple of years ago but positively crushed when I then learned Microsoft was no longer selling them. Proper ergonomics are important for me, but I prefer something that is relatively "standard" rather than any of the truly radical keyboard designs that are out there. I also didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars. After a lot of research, I ended up purchasing the Logitech Ergo K860 (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B07ZWK2TQT) which I liked fine, but not nearly as much as the Sculpt it replaced. Unfortunately the durability on my first K860 wasn't great and I had to replace it only 18 months later. I didn't want to buy from them again, but there just wasn't anything else out there that met my specifications so I moved forward and reordered hoping my first one had just been a dud. Eight months later I was thrilled to learn the mWave had been released and decided to order one despite there being no reviews available yet. I'm glad I did! After a couple weeks of daily usage I've come away very happy with the purchase and feel like this is truly the ideal replacement for the Sculpt. The keyboard feels substantial and I like the negative tilt that can be achieved with the legs it includes. Important to note the tilt angle is "all or nothing" as there are no adjustments possible. A few things really set the keyboard apart from the Sculpt in a good way. The first is the the fact it is mechanical keys rather than the chiclet style. I have become more enamored of the feel and travel of mechanical keyboards in recent years and though I won't claim to be super knowledgable about them this one matches other I own and enjoy in terms of noise level and quality. I have made a point of asking multiple people if they can hear me typing during videoconferences and the answer has always been a no. The keys make noise for sure, as do all mechanical keyboards I'm familiar with, but they are not overly noisy. The next item I love is the backlight. I will often work in a dark room so having the keys lit can be helpful. The lighting has three different levels ranging from dim to pretty bright and the latter is what I'm showing in the picture attached to this review. That picture was taken in a room with a lot of natural daytime light and the backlighting is clearly visible. Frankly, in a dark room it is too bright for my eyes and I go with the medium level. Finally, I love how the keyboard is customizable thanks to what appears to be powerful programming functionality. I have not done more than play around a little with the programming, but it is something I expect to take further advantage of in the weeks ahead. There is only one problem I have with the keyboard and that is I was forced to get it in white since I'm a Mac user. After a few weeks it isn't showing any grime, but I expect that to change over time. They are going to be releasing a kit that will allow you to convert a black Windows keyboard into a Mac keyboard, but that isn't available yet so I decided to just go with the white. If the mWave stands up to extensive usage it will be a great option at what I consider to be a very fair price ($120 as of this writing). If you loved the Sculpt I'm guessing you'll love the mWave
Review: Good ergonomic feel with classic keyboard layout - Editing review after daily usage. While the spirit and features are excellent, there is still room to improve. The biggest area would be that it is a more compact layout than the older Microsoft ergonomic keyboards. If you have years of muscle memory you’re going to experience a lot of misclicks while you are switching over. Also it makes the arrow keys and shift buttons feel cramped but this is subjective as I am used to a larger keyboard. It would be great if Kinesis made a larger 1:1 variant of the old Microsoft boards with a full numpad and hot swappable keys. —— Absolutely happy with this keyboard. I've struggled to find other ergonomic options which capture a traditional keyboard layout (like older Microsoft ergonomic keyboards), while still providing features such as mechanical switches, programmability, etc. I enjoy the backlit keys, native Mac support, option for Bluetooth or wired, programmability, and optional tenting which does not get in the way (magnetically removed) if you do not wish to use it. The build quality is good and appears well thought out and designed. All the materials feel nice and seem sturdy so far. All in all, it is the keyboard I was hoping someone would make for years and I'm happy to have it.

## Features

- EASY ERGONOMICS: Popular "wave" layout and thick padded palm support positions hands and arms in a neutral posture for enhanced comfort and no learning curve.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect keyboard
*by N***D on September 15, 2025*

They finally made the perfect keyboard for me!!! Comparison to some other keyboards I've owned: Kinesis Freestyle2: has good key physics, but could never quite get used to the "two pieces". They would inevitably get bumped into new positions all the time, making it impossible to develop muscle memory for where my hands should go relative to each other. Also, eventually the connector between the two pieces broke, making the unpredictable positions problem go from bad to worse. Perixx PERIDUO-406: The key action on this thing is terrible. Get a little dust in there and the key seizes up. Utterly frustrating. Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard: Prior to the Kinesis mWave, this was my all time favorite keyboard. Good key action, great ergonomics. However the big problem with it which is why I didn't go back to it was that it has a built in numeric keypad. Newsflash: most people don't need or want a keypad. Not only is it useless dead space, but if you're right handed, it pushes the mouse/trackball further to the right than needed. Your hand has to travel further. If your desk space is limited, as mine is, it causes your keyboard to also have to be positioned to the left of center instead of being centered on the desk. mWave is the answer to all the problems. And on top of that they were good enough to make a Mac version of it! Thank you!!
