Microsoft unveiled a bunch of products at an event today, including the beautiful Surface Studio. One of the smaller products to go live is this new ergonomic keyboard, a slim but curvy offering that positions one's hands where they need to be for strain-free and comfortable typing sessions.

According to Microsoft, the new Surface Ergonomic Keyboard offers "advanced comfort," including a palm rest and split-keys design. This results in each hand being positioned at a natural angle, helping avoid strain on the outer portion of the wrist and related ligaments. Overall, the keyboard features a two-tone melange Alcantara grey color.

The wrist rest is made of a proprietary material that, says Microsoft, offers 'unique aesthetic, sensory, and technical qualities.' Other features include Bluetooth 4.0LE and support for Windows 10. The unit measures 18.11 x 9.02 x 1.36-inches and weighs 2.23lbs. You can currently pre-order the keyboard from the link below for $129.99 USD.
