Nulea Ergonomic Split Keyboard Wireless with Wrist Rest 7 Color Backlight

I'm replacing a Microsoft Sculpt that I bought years ago before the price sky-rocketed. 1) letters on my Sculpt are fading off; 2) it has a backlight; 3) it’s rechargeable; 4) comments mentioned quiet keys; 5) number pad is on the keyboard. And finding an affordable, ergonomic, rechargeable, backlit keyboard was not easy! I’m a grandmother who works from home as a customer service rep. I learned to type in high school, on an actual typewriter, and still type 60 wpm. I do not often use function keys or shortcut keys. I do like the feel of this keyboard; the keys cradle my fingertips. I like the tactile markers. I’m always afraid they are going to become obsolete. Love the backlight. It’s going to be a life saver on those migraine days in the dark. Letters aren’t going to fade, and there's a power indicator light on the front of the keyboard. Love, love, love that it’s rechargeable! Love having the number pad back on the keyboard! The Sculpt is quieter and not sure how I will fair with QA as they deduct points if keystrokes are too loud – we shall see… Here’s what I have noticed while typing this review: 1) some of the keys seem slightly ‘farther’ away from the home keys than I am used to, especially the Backspace key and the Enter key. This is likely due to the size differences in the keys. I have smaller hands so I am used to having to reach for the Backspace key on almost every keyboard. The fact that this key is nearly half the size here than on my Sculpt does make for a noticeably longer reach. 2) As I have been typing this, I have noticed several times where the space was not inserted when I hit the space bar. I have not noticed if this is more of a left vs. right issue. I know I use my left thumb almost exclusively…so I’m not sure I could give a fair evaluation on the left vs right question. I know I’m not missing the keystroke and I’m applying sufficient pressure. It may be something I can address by being more aware moving forward. With all the advantages I see with this keyboard, it’s a small price to pay…so far. I did get the extended warranty considering all the issues others have shared here.

I needed a new keyboard for work. I was using a Microsoft Sculpt. I LOVE that keyboard and how comfortable it is. However, after only a year of use it started disconnecting randomly and it was super annoying. I tried new batteries, making sure drivers are updated, etc. I am on a computer for work 40+ hours a week and need my keyboard to be reliable. So, I begin searching. I wanted something that was split again, had options for tilting, backlit and not too expensive. This one came up in my search and after reading several reviews I decided to give it a try. Unboxing and getting it connected was super easy. It can connect by blue tooth of USB piece. I also love that I can set it up to be connected to my laptop, and to my phone and can toggle between the two. The color options for the backlight are a nice touch. You can also adjust how bright they are. There was a bit of a learning curve in getting used to typing again as my sculpt had a lifter on it that made the keyboard angle down in the back more. I liked that, and the feet on this keyboard do not give me quite the same angle. I may use the old riser from my sculpt on this one somehow, but for now its not super uncomfortable or anything. My typing speed is just as fast. The keys feel nice when pressing them and they are not super loud. Battery life seems pretty good so far. I do like that there is an off/on switch so that I can turn the keyboard off when I go to lunch and when I leave for the day. Time will tell, but so far I am impressed with this keyboard.

This is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned, by far! It’s ergonomic with a padded wrist rest, but smaller than most full size keyboards so it fits in my keyboard tray with just enough room left over for my mouse. Yet they still managed to fit a 10 key number pad in! It’s super quiet, a little quieter than my new MacBook. It also has two Bluetooth channels so I can use one keyboard for my Mac and my pc. It has some LED backlighting which is nice I guess but my keyboard sits in a slide out tray so I don’t really get to appreciate the colors much. Which brings me to the only minor downside is that the backspace key doesn’t have any distinctive tactile feel so if I’m not looking at it (which I can’t unless I pull the tray out) I often mistake the backspace and backslash keys. I fixed this by putting two tiny drops of super glue on the backspace key so I could feel it without looking. As for the customer support I mentioned, I had an issue with a key cap that came loose. I contacted them to see about getting a replacement key cap but they don’t sell key caps and the keyboard was well past warranty but they sent me a whole new keyboard instead! That was really delightful and unexpected!

Feb 29 2024: This is an initial review. I have just received this keyboard, fully charged it, then attempted to connect via Bluetooth. It is likely my PC and the lack of a BT antenna but BT connectivity was not good. I'll try again at some point, once I put an antenna on it (run wired LAN and just never needed the BT for the game PC). I'm migrating from an MS Natural (the 4000 series) so the layout is a bit of a change. I've seen some complaints that this keyboard is large. It's about 4 inches shorter, width wise and about 4 times less massive overall than the MS Natural. This saves me a TON of desktop real estate. The keys are flat and have very little travel; as previously stated, will take some adjustment, but I'm adaptable :). Pros so far : - it looks great - key layout is somewhat different but adaptable - its not a crazy layout with a tiny backspace key and a delete key where the home key should be or anything like that, just different. - the backlighting is subtle and not overwhelming; while I could have tolerated a little brighter (the max brightness is maybe 20-30 lumens max) it does not overshadow the letters on the keys. Its adjustable as well and has a timely sleep function. - Connection via wifi dongle is seamless. No synch was needed and the keyboard is very responsive (tried a bit of gaming and it'll work for me just fine) - It has a quality feel to it - not flimsy and the ergonomics are pretty good (better for me than Logitech but not as good as Microsoft (why they quit producing the Natural, I will never know). Cons so far: - the yellow ESC and Space bar look great if you set the backlighting to yellow. Otherwise it clashes with the backlighting. - the center of the keyboard could be raised more to provide more ergonomic relief by maybe 0.5" - The backlighting could have one more brightness level, but I understand battery life concerns. Thats it. As for the Headline of this review: one of the feature rating selections was "Volume Control" so... Update 03/17/2024: Battery life: the LED backlighting stopped working on this day due to the battery level, but the keyboard itself was still working fine and the battery indicator light had not yet come on. This was still running off the first charge from out of box. Not shabby - and it DOES let you keep using the keyboard while it charges. The Bluetooth connection is flawless now that I have an antenna connected to my wifi out from the PC; however, since BIOS and safe mode don't work with BT, I just kept using the 2.4mhz dongle.

My Microsoft keyboard decided to start randomly inserting multiple characters, so it was time to replace it. My keyboard lives in a tray under my desk, which leaves it in the dark. I've had a motion-activated strip light adhered to the inside top of the drawer and used it that way for several years. The problem was the light was just too much and bothered my eyes. This keyboard has solved the light issue! I love it that the lights turn themselves off when the keyboard goes idle and immediately comes on when you start typing. You don't have to turn them on and off, but you can if you want to since they added a key just for that purpose. The length of time it takes the lights to go off is very reasonable. I read complaints from people on other lighted keyboards that the lights went off really fast. This definitely doesn't do that. Also, the keys are not just backlit, it actually shines through the keys so you see the letters on the keys as well. I really like the feel of the action on the keys. The space bars might be a little louder than some other keyboards, but not by a whole lot. I just don't have much negative to say about this. Battery life is pretty good. I think I had it a month before I had to recharge it. I noticed that the lights weren't coming on anymore and realized it probably needed to be charged. Didn't take long to charge it up. I don't notice any lag or hesitation at all using this on Bluetooth. If you're thinking about getting this keyboard, I would just do it. The layout is a little different than the ones with the space between the keys and the number pad, but it didn't take me long at all to adjust to it. The arrow keys took a little longer, but all-in-all, the adjustment period was worth it. Since I've only had it for a couple months, I can't say anything on the longevity of it's lifespan, but I'm sincerely hoping it will last a long time. As a matter of fact, I thought about buying another one and keeping it in reserve. I'm not familiar with the manufacturer of this keyboard and hope they will be around for a long time. They're building a quality device and I plan on using it for the foreseeable future.

I’ve been using the Nulea RT05 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard daily for general typing over the past six months, and while it started strong, some frustrating issues have really hurt its long-term value. On the positive side, the ergonomic layout is genuinely comfortable. It helped reduce strain during long typing sessions, and the wireless connection was smooth at first. The overall design and initial performance were enough to make it a standout choice early on. But over time, battery life has significantly declined. What used to last weeks now barely makes it through a few days. Even with moderate, everyday use, the frequent recharging is becoming a real annoyance. Worse, the keyboard has developed phantom key behavior—it randomly acts as if keys are being held down, filling documents or emails with repeated characters. It’s not a physical sticking issue, but a digital glitch that makes typing unpredictable and frustrating. For general typing tasks, this becomes a major productivity killer. In short, the Nulea RT05 has great potential and performs well out of the box, but serious long-term issues like battery degradation and erratic key behavior knock it down several notches. It’s a tough sell unless these reliability problems get addressed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Nulea RT05 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard has been a fantastic addition to my setup, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The ergonomic design is spot on, providing a comfortable typing experience that minimizes strain, even during long work sessions. As someone with larger hands, I appreciate the spacious layout and well-positioned keys that make it easy to type without feeling cramped. Not only is it comfortable, but it’s also incredibly stylish. The backlit feature adds a modern touch, and it’s practical too—working in low light is no problem at all. The key clicks are satisfyingly tactile, offering just the right amount of feedback without being too loud, which is perfect for those who enjoy a responsive typing experience. Another standout feature is the USB-C charging capability. It’s a major convenience, and I love that I can use the same charger for multiple devices. The battery life has been impressive so far, and I appreciate the quick recharge time. Overall, the Nulea RT05 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and functional keyboard, especially those with larger hands. Highly recommended for anyone who values both form and function!

I'm a software developer and have been using the "Microsoft natural keyboard 4000" for many many years, which they have now discontinued. I hate the replacements they have so offer. I've been searching for a good alternative for a while as I only have 2 aging MS keyboards left. I work on both Windows and MacOS environments in my job... and this keyboard is fantastic so far. I'm going to order another for my Mac soon likely. Positives - 2.4 ghz wireless connectivity - this is SO much better than Bluetooth which is often spotty and glitchy. I have headphones similarly that use 2.4 ghz which are always solid vs. other headphones I have that use Bluetooth and seem glitchy and annoying. - Great tactile feel - I love the backlighting, its just right - and now some whacky gaming keyboard that'll make your eyes spin - I am right now typing on this almost as well as w/ the MS keyboard I have used for probably 20 years - Mac and Windows notation on the keys which I absolutely love. I've been using an MS keyboard on Mac w/ key re-mappings but sometimes when you see the Mac symbol and look down at the keyboard it's easy to forget what is what since often you don't think about these things and it just comes natural - but sometimes there are key combos you need to think about for a sec in say code editing environments Negatives - to me the placement of home/end/page up/down is a little weird but maybe I just need to get used to it - it's a little on the small size, I wish there was just a little more width / wrist support on the left side as I'm typing right now feeling it out - the up-down arrow keys are compressed to 1/2 size which is weird since the side to side are full sized so odd tactile feel w/ arrow movement I think at this point this is my go to replacement keyboard and I'm going order another and just get used to them fully. My only hope is they keep adding new products and offer some larger keyboard options as I'm a big 6'2" guy w/ large hands. a "XXL" keyboard option would be amazing lol

Look you may need to get used to the curved surface of the keys, but I want o say that it is not like the old MS curved boards that were, for me, impossible to type on. The cushioned wrist pad has a really comfortable feel and is helpful. I feel some keys are actually easier for me to get to without looking. I have not figured out how the whole top row of keys works yet, so I don't have much to say about that. For some reason that made it so that the space bar key clicks. It is the only thing that I don't understand. Maybe, for some people completely silent typing would have been annoying, don't know. I would recommend this. In the first few months, I contacted CS and they did not speak English well, and were not very thorough, but I went along with it Most recently (mid-December) keyboard went on strike. I am pretty computer savvy but everything that I would normally do to unlock a keyboard did not work, so I contacted CS again. They asked to see the invoice, which I provided, and they also asked to do a video, which I responded with, "What do you want to see that the green like is on and me pounding on the keys with no print showing up and my having to use the cumbersome on screen windows keyboard. I told them I had a paper I needed to finish typing up, but there was not response for days. I finally got an inexpensive wired keyboard and wrist pad. When I sent them an email saying that I was reporting them to BBB and the attorney general's office, suddenly I hear from them again with a lengthy response of a complicated process, of a type that in 30 yrs. I have never seen before, and a second process if that did not work. This info should have been sent to me immediately, when they heard what I had tried and they knew my keyboard was locked up. I told them that they were too late and this explanation should have been offered to me right away because my first email expressed what I had already tried. What I am telling you that their skimpy double sided info sheet that they send lacks effective trouble shooting methods, and they will make you sweat to get good information.

1. The price is too much when compared with the quality of the product, I paid almost 12k. 2. The plastic was smelling when I opened the keyboard from box. 3. The control buttons are not at the right position, right control button is missing which makes harder to work. 4. The Pam rester cushion was coming out. 5. Left arrow button was almost coming out as well.

I have been using this keyboard for about 4 months. The design is great and helps to relieve some of the pain in my hands from typing. The wrist support that is attached is confortable also. The backlit keypad is great especially in low lght places. The internal battery ast forever. I think i have only charged it 2 or 3 times. The CTRL key came off so I emailed the company. They responded within a couple hours, we emailed back and forth about a replacement and what options I had once. Within 24 hours they are sending out a replacement at no charge. I would 100% recommend this keyboard.

I’ve been using the black version of this keyboard for over a year, my best keyboard ever. The light grey version feels exactly the same, only somehow better. It feels more premium, more refined. I cannot overstate how great this keyboard is. Just wish the light gray version was as cheap as the black version, they charge a major premium for it. But IMHO well worth it. The keyboard has a separate number pad but not all the extra keys of a full-size keyboard, ideal for me (I like the smaller size). And the 7-color backlighting is a nice touch.

This keyboard is fabulous! The wrist pad is soft and comfortable, the keys are spaced well and make typing (for a touch typist) easy… only a few hours in and I’m hitting the right keys 95% of the time… in a couple of days it will be hard to go back to a ‘normal’ keyboard! The lights are an added bonus and the key strokes are clear. Delivery from USA was pretty quick and set up simple. Particularly like the ability to toggle between laptops meaning you only need 1 keyboard on your desk
