What is the most ergonomic keyboard that works best with the Rollermouse Red? Anyone tried TREK (Truly Ergonomic Keyboard)? Is the shape compatible?

I agree with the previous response. I use a plain vanilla keyboard with mine. The Rollermouse may help you solve your ergonomic problem without a special keyboard.

I'm not sure about the most ergonomic but the best keyboard in my case I have used so far is Das Keyboard. I searched and tried for years, multiple mouses and keyboards. None would hold up in terms of quality (I had to replace mouses and keyboards at least once a year).So far the Roller Mouse and Das Keyboard are the best ones I have ever used in terms of quality. Das Keyboard fits this mouse perfectly and it's an amazing combination. You don't need an ergonomic keyboard once you start using the Roller Mouse.

What keyboard is used doesn't matter much, main consideration is distance placed from keyboard, so probably just don't want to use a keyboard with permanent wrist pad integrated. Offhand appears the TREK has a large wrist pad so I wouldn't recommend it with the rollermouse unless you want to move your hand placement a lot.

Yes! All the time. I personally have a Roccat Kone (+) as my everyday mouse. I actually use it for both gaming and workstation programs and it's stood the test of time. I think it's useful to be able to customise the mouse buttons out of games as well as in-game and it saves precious time when doing tedious office based tasks. The extra customisable buttons can be very very useful.

Thanks. I've been looking for a good full size mouse to use with my laptop. Most are too small for me.

If I was walking slow I could use a mouse. I am very uncoordinated. My treadmill was by a wall so instead of using the mouse by the laptop I made a stable surface to the side and used a wireless mouse. Was much easier and could go a tad faster.

I purchased this almost a year ago, I've had no problem with the keyboard, in fact, I love it. My wrist's don't get sore or the outside. No keys stick. My only problem with it is sometimes my finger get ahead of my train of thought and I type out the word wrong. I wouldn't change it for the world. Love the eronomic design. The mouse took a little time to get used to, but that time has passed and now I love the keyboard and mouse. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about purchasing this item. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

I'm currently using a Logitech K120 keyboard. it's a USB keyboard No problems with the keyboard, works great along with a standard wired USB mouse. Nothing to set up, worked right off the bat. there are two USB ports on the one connect box.

You might want to look at the Evoluent mouse. It has a nearly vertical "handshake" position, though it's much more expensive. Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 "Regular Size" Right Hand (model # VM4R) - USB Wired

Sorry. I've been looking for one also, but to no avail. I invested in a pricey Logitech illuminated Keyboard. Although the keys were small they lighted up with touch. It was cool in low light areas; but can't recommend it because it stopped working in less than 3 months. Dealing with the warranty.

I'm not sure if there is anything quite like this specifically (in terms of style) that is Bluetooth (which was my original desire as well), but one of the closest things that I could find on Amazon would be the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse. It has gotten somewhat mixed reviews, but it's definitely one to consider. There's also the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse (T630) which is a different style but is supposed to be Bluetooth. Then there's the Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse, which is drastically different in terms of style, but is touch and Bluetooth. I'm sure there are plenty more, so just keep searching around, but these are a few that I found when looking.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model.Hope that still helps.Thanks!~D

Typing is ok, but for using the mouse I use a mouse pad on top of the arm rest at times. Really wish the arm rest was softer, it's a problem. ..

Very similar mouse - but the mouse is not going to drop keystrokes on you. You cannot type on it. It is a mouse...7000 keyboards (I have had 3) all seem to eventually start dropping strokes. They feel good, but if you do more than extremely casual use, go with something else.I am sure OP has already made decision, but I see there was not a definitive answer, so here it is.

You need to have the keyboard at the right height and distance from the Rollermouse. I think Contour recommends the space key be 1 inch above the roller to prevent this kind of thing. I have the rollermouse right at the bottom of my keyboard, and use it for clicking, but so far haven't once clicked inadvertently.

I'm left-handed, but I use both hands to control the roller mouse. Since the mouse functions are right in front of the space bar on your keyboard, you can easily use either hand. The wrist rest (which is padded and comfortable) is longer on the right because of the way keyboards are designed with arrow keys and number pads on the right side.

I was wondering about using on the left hand? I use a regular mouse now on the left hand, any reason why it wouldn't work? Also anchored models or similar makes? Thanks for the help. Just my left elbow bothers me with the regular mouse.

Thanks for your response. I went ahead and got the Logitech and am happy with it, once I adjusted the speed of the cursor. I have a very light touch.

I was faced with the same decision when I purchased my Redragon. Yes the scroll wheel is locked, but the position of the red button is my use all for all my main spells. Cures, rapid fire, whatever your toon uses the most. It was slightly bulky at first but now feels comfortable in my small hands, I love that you can add weights to it. Honestly the price is great, we bought 3 and have had them over a year now and we have no complaints. Works great with my Asus gaming laptop.
