The keyboard layout is easy to get used to after a week of use. It’s more spacious than my old mechanical keyboard. Has 4 small pads on the back for better ergonomic support. The wrist rest is not detachable and has a faux leather material. Only con I have encountered is that the Wrist rest has a small crease that gets filled with dust or debris and is hard to clean. The only way I have found to clean it is folding a sticky note and running it through it to clean its. They should bridge that gap in the future or make it so it’s removable for ease of cleaning. I chose this one compared to the Nulea Rt07 since wired connections tend to be more reliable than Bluetooth connectivity as well of the spacing between the keyboard and the numpad.

Love my Keyboard
Love, love, love my keyboard! It is not only lovely to look at, but the keys are wonderful and it just feels magnificent! I look forward to working and using this beautiful keyboard. Please note, the photo doesn’t do the color justice. The pink is such a sweet pink. It’s truly a pink, girly girls dream.

Nice Work Keyboard
Used this keyboard for a few days for work. So far I like it. Not too clacky and easy on the wrist. Would recommend this keyboard for someone worried about carpal tunnel.

Terrific Product and Value
Terrific product. Less expensive than ergonomic competition. Compatible with Mac. Great function and instructions. Caps light still works unlike competitors that need to disconnect and reconnect to function.

Probably wouldn’t buy again
I like the touch of the keys on this keyboard. However, some of the keys are not located in the usual place (e.g. delete, print screen, home, end, etc.) so it takes some adjusting. Also, the material on the wrist rest is loose and has started to pull away from where it curves around the edge to where it attaches on the bottom.

Great feel.
Smooth. I used to only buy a particular keyboard because I liked the feel. It was pricey and couldn’t find a substitute. I finally found one at a great price too. Very pleased.

Arrived Crush and I lost the discount
Keyboard looks and feels like it would have been great but it arrived crushed-destroyed and broken. Had to return it, AND pay more now since I bought this first at a discounted price.

Terrible Quality!!
Terrible quality!
I am not one to leave reviews, rarely do but the quality is absolutely horrendous. Please save your money and buy something else !
I would not recommend anyone to purchase this. The entire hand / wrist rest area is peeling.. I have had it less than a month!

Nulea RT05C Wired Ergonomic Keyboard - White
I've been using the Nulea RT05C Wired Ergonomic Keyboard for about a month now, and it's been a solid upgrade. Some of the key sizes are different from my previous Logitech ergonomic keyboard, so there was a bit of an adjustment period. However, unlike my old Bluetooth keyboard that would occasionally lag, this corded one is consistently responsive, making for a smoother typing experience.
The split design encourages a more natural hand position, which feels more comfortable compared to traditional layouts. The cushioned wrist rest stands out, providing excellent support and making long typing sessions much more manageable. The adjustable tilt legs are a great addition, letting me fine-tune the angle for better posture and comfort.
Setup was effortless, I plugged it in, and it worked immediately with my MacBook Pro. Do wish it was a USB-C connection, but not a big issue. The keys have a nice tactile feel and respond well, which helps with typing speed. Overall, noise level from typing isn't bad. If wrist strain from prolonged typing is an issue, this keyboard could be a worthwhile solution. Overall, it’s been a great experience so far, delivering both comfort and functionality for extended use.

SUPER nice ergonomic keyboard!
Day 1 with this keyboard and I am in love. The keyboard is very sturdy, I love the feel of the keys and the wrist rest that comes attached, and the tactile/sound feedback is great. I also REALLY appreciate the 10-key pad attached to this board.
(Boring back story and personal opinions) I originally had a [big name brand] ergonomic keyboard and had to turn it in when I left my last job. I highly recommend this layout for anyone that types for a large portion of their job. It does take a few days to adjust but please take a chance on it. Especially with such a reasonable price point.

Good attempt at an ergonomic keyboard
If your shoulder hurts from typing too much, you should try an ergonomic keyboard...and at this price point, the Nulea wired ergonomic is a cost-effective way to try it out.
The Nulea is shaped well and is not as wide as other ergonomic keyboards w/ a 10-key pad...which is great for your shoulders because you don't have extend out too far to the right to use the mouse. The keyboard is angled comfortably and the split space bar is a good idea. The keys are a good size so they're easy to locate if you have used other standard, low-profile keyboards. They overall construction is solid for a low-cost keyboard.
The typing experience, however, is mediocre if you are really into keyboards. The keys are mushy and not very responsive. The wrist rest feels a little cheap, so I'm not sure what a it might feel like after a few years of use. After getting used to the ergonomic format, my best typing speed was down about 10 words per minute.
However, if you're looking to try out an ergonomic keyboard and you don't want to splurge on the latest Logitech or Microsoft versions, this is a good one to try.

Very good split ergo keyboard
I have 2 Nulea trackballs that I like a lot so I was happy when this split ergo keyboard came available to try.
Nulea makes great products at competitive prices, this keyboard is no different.
I tested it under Windows 11 and MX Linux, it was plug and play on both, and had no issues at all.
It is very comfortable to use in both format, key press, and the wrist rest material and form.
It’s hard to tell how long the wrist rest will hold up, I do wish it was replaceable, but it’s pretty darn nice.
The key layout is different but functional, will just take some time to get used to.
All the keys and functions work as expected, haven’t experienced missed or delayed key strokes.
For me this would be my go to keyboard if it wasn’t for one thing, the lack of a Scroll Lock key or function. I need this to use my KVM switcher. I did notice before grabbing it that it was missing from the layout as a stand alone key, but was hoping it had the ability through one of the function keys.

Looks sleek. good quality. Semi-ergonomic only, however.
It looks nice and has a very low profile. keys press easily and are soft keys with minimal sound. the functionality is like any other keyboard with preset keys. it is truly plug n play without the need for any drivers and for its ease of use, basic as well. the palm rest is nice and soft yet firm. the palm rest is similar to that of the MS 4000 series feel and firm/softness. the print on the keys look to be of good/higher quality than most keyboards in this price range. for the ergonomics… it is a split keyboard, so it fits nicely in that regard. The key spacing and angle combination doesn’t quite work for my hand size as it seems to run large - the spacing may be similar to the MS and L branded ones, but because of its low profile keys, they seem exaggerated somewhat. I have standard/average sized hands for a male at about 5’8”. so for a smaller handed person.. maybe not the best. The keyboard
Curvature is rather flat, again due to the low profile bed. the footings on the backside are a bit low for my preference and it would be nice if it had a low and high foot setting or even better… 3-tier. for the money, it is a rather great looking semi-ergonomic keyboard. for a full ergonomic experience, this is probably not it. it will allow your hands and arms rest in a less awkward position but far from relaxed and at ease while typing for my hand size. My hand fits an iPhone max pro corner to corner, for reference.

Replacing Logitech with Nulea
During Prime Day, I decided to try a new keyboard for several reasons:
1. My home Logitech K350 has the keyboard labels wearing off
2. I've had occasional issues with wireless connectivity. (Taking my laptop back and forth to the office, nice to just leave the keyboard plugged into a dock.)
3. Hand and wrist issues to try a "more ergonomic" keyboard.
4. Looking for a somewhat "quieter" keyboard for use during the constant zoom meetings.
The Nulea RT05C checked all the boxes and with a good deal on Prime Day, I decided to give it a try.
After a day of use, things I like:
1. Keys and typing have a good feel. Typing speed is not impacted by key stroke. Keystroke feels more like Thinkpad laptop's keyboard.
2. The sound is better than my old logitech, both in volume and less clanky. Hard to get a feel for in a review but I think it is nice.
3. I like that it takes up a lot less desk space.
4. Hand positioning does feel more natural. Will be interesting to see if it helps with the problems over time.
5. No batteries, low battery problems. Also like not needing to change out batteries as a first course of action when a problem comes up with the keyboard.
Things I don't like:
1. No special "media" keys like on the Logitech - not a big deal though as most of the functionality are in the function keys but I liked the volume buttons.
2. The special ridges for the "F" and "J" keys are hard to feel. Definitely taking time to get used to hand placement. May get used to it but it feels like it would have been better if the keys were better distinguished. Currently, this does impact typing speed some for me but likely to go away with increased usage.
3. Would like bigger arrows and easier placement of page up/down keys. (Of course this would conflict with keeping the keyboard size smaller!)
Other issues/undecided:
1. Hoping that the lettering on the keys holds up over time better than the logitech's did which lasted about 3 years. (Lettering wear was probably accelerated by typing while also eating and thereby getting some food oils involved.)
2. My use case does not involve needing lighting. More important for me to have lit keys on my laptop keyboard. Neither the Logitech or the Nulea has lighting but that was fine by me.
3. The rounded "scalloping" of the keys feel fine. Interesting to see which ones are "concave" vs. "convex". Perhaps a little more scalloping would be nice for keeping fingers on keys but hard to tell if that might not be more of a con.
4. The big gap between left and right splits (between G and H) just seems to be calling out for a mouse substitute such as the red nub on my Thinkpad or a mini trackball. Might look for that in a future keyboard.
I picked the Nulea against similarly priced keyboards with similar features in part due to better reviews in general. Some competitors seemed to have more issues with occasional problems.
All in all, I like it and am tempted to get one for the office too. It seems to be well built and good quality material so I think it will be pretty durable. I'll give it a couple of months to see though before making the jump.
I'm pretty picky but at the price and with a full day of actual usage, it exceeded my expectations and feels like 5 stars is warranted.

Good build, comfortable design, adjustable feet, wired, generous wrist support
My first ergonomic keyboard and the first day I thought, "OMG I will never get used to this, I'm a touch typist and I can't FIND the keys with my fingers." It was stressful to keep having to backspace and fix, and to have my typing speed drop by about 70% but, by the third day, I realized I would eventually adapt to the new angles and I LOVE the soft comfortable generously-sized wrist support.
The key-finding nubs are under the index fingers which I prefer.
The space keys are a bit on the noisy side (the others are not bad), but it looks and feels better than my Logitech gaming keyboard which is priced $10 higher.
I wasn't sure how to get the function keys to not need the Fn key to work, but eventually figured it out and you can see the second light on the keyboard come on when the function keys are in one-key rather than dual-key mode.
There are four feet, so you can raise the two upper ones, the two lower ones, or all four to get the angle and height that works for you. I have the two top feet raised.
It's moderately low travel and responsive, which I also prefer.
I'm happy with everything except the tiny arrow keys which my fingers have trouble finding. They are tucked under the shift key on the right, but I don't use them enough to make it worth taking off a star, plus the number pad also has arrow-key options.
Looks and feels good. I have several good-quality keyboards but I'm sticking with this one even though it took me several days to adjust to the different layout.

Very impressive build quality, just one thing.
The Nulea RT05C Wired Ergonomic Keyboard arrived in impressive packaging in perfect condition. The sensitivity of the keys and the keystrokes are perfect. The padded wrist rest felt good to the touch like fine suede. The layout will take a while for a first-time user of ergonomic keyboards to adjust to. Once the muscle memory updates to this new arrangements it may be a big improvement. That uncertainty is hard to ignore and one can't help but wonder is it worth the effort for a first time user and what about switching back and forth when using another computer or laptop that doesn't have the same layout?
