The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is a great keyboard for the office if you're looking for an affordable curved board with a split-key layout. The board is entirely made of plastic and doesn't have the most durable keycaps, but it offers amazing ergonomics with a comfortable wrist rest and the possibility to use its feet to create a negative angle. This wireless keyboard supports multi-device pairing with its receiver and via Bluetooth, which makes it very versatile, and it can be used with practically any operating system, whether computers or mobile devices.

Our Verdict

0.0
Gaming 

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is a sub-par gaming keyboard. Although its keys are very quick to actuate, the board feels flimsy and doesn't have any backlighting. This keyboard isn't designed for gaming.

Pros
  • Amazing ergonomic design.
  • Decent typing quality.
  • Can be used via Bluetooth and with its receiver.
Cons
  • Cheaply built.
  • Wobbly and cheap keycaps.
  • Bulky design.
0.0
Mobile/Tablet 

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is compatible with most mobile devices thanks to its Bluetooth connection, but it's a very bulky keyboard, which means it isn't the most portable option and might not fit in backpack due to its design. On the upside, all alphanumeric keys work on all operating systems.

Pros
  • Amazing ergonomic design.
  • Decent typing quality.
  • Can be used via Bluetooth and with its receiver.
Cons
  • Cheaply built.
  • Wobbly and cheap keycaps.
  • Bulky design.

Office 

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is a great keyboard for the office. Its design offers amazing ergonomics thanks to a curved board, split-key layout, and negative-angled feet. It also has a very comfortable wrist rest and isn't too noisy for an open office, although the spacebar is noticeably loud. Unfortunately, the board feels rather cheaply made due to the all-plastic design.

Pros
  • Amazing ergonomic design.
  • Decent typing quality.
  • Can be used via Bluetooth and with its receiver.
Cons
  • Cheaply built.
  • Wobbly and cheap keycaps.
  • Bulky design.
0.0
Programming 

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is a mediocre option for programmers. While its typing quality is decent, the keyboard doesn't support macro programming. It also lacks backlighting, and its overall design feels a bit cheap. On the upside, it's a very comfortable keyboard to use thanks to its ergonomic design and great wrist rest.

Pros
  • Amazing ergonomic design.
  • Decent typing quality.
  • Can be used via Bluetooth and with its receiver.
Cons
  • Cheaply built.
  • Wobbly and cheap keycaps.
  • Bulky design.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    This keyboard is available in two colors, but we don't expect any differences between them. Our review should be valid for both colors.

    Popular Keyboard Comparisons

    The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is a decent overall keyboard, but it doesn't really stand out from its direct competition. It's a more affordable alternative to some similarly designed keyboards like the Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard or the Logitech ERGO K860, but it feels noticeably cheaper.

    For more options, check out our recommendations for the best keyboards, the best keyboards for writers, and the best ergonomic keyboards.

    Logitech ERGO K860

    Track

    The Logitech ERGO K860 is a better ergonomic keyboard than the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard. It's slightly better built and offers an overall better typing experience. It also has software that lets you reprogram certain keys and can be paired with up to three devices simultaneously. Other than the price, the Logitech is the best option.

    Kinesis Freestyle Pro

    Track

    The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard is very different than the Kinesis Freestyle Pro. It features a curved board with a split-key layout, while the Kinesis' board is separated into two halves that you can place how you want. The Kinesis also uses mechanical switches, which feel more pleasant to type on than the rubber domes of the Kensington. The Kinesis also feels a bit better-built, but office workers might not like the fact it doesn't have a NumPad.

    Matias Ergo Pro

    Track

    The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard and the Matias Ergo Pro are both great ergonomic keyboards, but with two very different designs. The Kensington is curved with a split-key layout, while the Matias has two different halves that you can position however you want. The Matias is wired while the Kensington is wireless. Also, the Matias uses mechanical switches, which offer a better overall typing quality than the rubber dome switches of the Kensington.

    Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard

    Track

    The Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard is a better ergonomic keyboard than the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard. The Microsoft is noticeably better-built and feels more durable. However, it doesn't have any feet to create a negative incline as the Kensington does. On the other hand, the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard offers a noticeably better typing experience thanks to its more stable keys.
