Durable, good feel, ergo benefits
Wanted a keyboard with num pad in the left so my mouse is more towards the front of me and my arm isn't splayed out at so much of an angle. Takes some getting used to if you are a skilled 10 keyer on the right. But worth it for my arm health. Also nice to not have to continuously move my hand from mouse to keyboard and back. Product holds up well to long term use. First one lasted several years until I dropped my laptop on it (more than once) and eventually popped off the A key.

Evoluent R3K Reduced Reach Right-Hand Keyboard
Using this keyboard has been a welcome change for my ergonomics, which has greatly reduced pain that I used to get in my right shoulder due to the way traditional keyboards with a number pad would force my arm into an overly strained position. This is the number one reason I chose this keyboard, and it's been wonderful.I've actually been using this keyboard daily since April 2020. This keyboard is operating just as good now, 5 years later, as it was when I first got it. Because I'm such a fan of this keyboard, I felt compelled to write a review since this item still doesn't have that many.The only potential negative for this keyboard is the lack of feet, and the reason I deducted one star. The way my desk is oriented doesn't make this a problem for me as I have it propped up on the edge of my monitor. However, if I rearranged my setup, this would be an issue for me.For future iterations of this keyboard, I would like to see feet added, and a wireless option.For now, I'm very happy with this keyboard and often wonder why more manufacturers aren't designing keyboards this way.

Great keyboard for RTS gaming
I'm not sure why but there seem to be only a few keyboards with left-handed keypads. I play a bit of Age of Empires IV and I wanted my numbers near my left hand, without a gap between the numberpad and the rest of the keyboard. I use my right hand for my mouse and I can't change from the mouse to the righthand keypad. This keyboard is perfect for this and I really think the company should try to market its products to people who play RTS games. The only downside is that shipping to Europe was expensive, and there are no ergonomic settings to adjust the angle of the keyboard. Otherwise, though, this was the perfect keyboard I was looking for.

A better design for keyboard and mouse
Great design! I've been wishing for a keyboard like this for years but didn't know one actually existed. My right shoulder would get sore from holding my mouse arm out to the right because the numeric keypad was forcing the mouse far to the right. I've taken a picture comparing the new Evoluent keyboard with the one I was using; you can see how much difference it makes in my mouse placement and arm position. You might notice that I bought an Evoluent Vertical Mouse as well. I love it! It reduces forearm rotation and has been very easy to get used to. Both the mouse and the keyboard have an excellent build quality and I'm very happy with the purchase.

Doesn’t sit flat
Keyboard is not flat. Go to type and it rocks.

Good for small hands. Not good value for money—doesn’t adjustable feet.
For $55 dollars, I expect a keyboard to have feet. This one does not. So I chose to spend another $10 to buy feet. Not good value for the money.I purchased this to replace a num-pad on the left DSI mechanical keyboard with cherry mx red switches. The switch on the spacebar was defective, making the spacebar stick often.I was hoping for something with the feel of cheery mx blue switches. This one doesn’t have that feel but it is serviceable.The best part of the design, fo me, is the compact key placement and the num pad on the left side. I have very small hands, so it works for me. For those with larger fingers, I think this thing might be a disaster (typos, pressing two keys at once etc). Also, so keys a placed in non-traditional locations. The insert key, for example, is located where the right hand side windows key is usually found on windows keyboards.

Compact Size; Positive Keys(Not Spongy); Centers Alignment w/Monitor
'Very Happy' with this Evoluent R3K Reduced Reach Right-Hand Keyboard. As noted in its 'Description', using the Mouse is more convenient, but more importantly, am now able to 'Center myself on Monitor/Screen' for ease of reading/viewing same 😊Also love the 'Feel of Keys' due to them not being 'Spongy'.Cons: Bit too expensive; wish 'Shift Keys' were a bit bigger/wider, but using 'Home Key Method' is very easy and 'Shift Key' use not a problem; wish the keyboard was a bit 'Wider' allowing more 'Separation' between 'Numeric Keypad/Alpha Keys', as well as between PgUp/Dn, End, Home, Del, keys, as well as 'Arrow Keys'.
