The keyboard of this set features a "gull wing" design which aims to bring the keys closer to the user's fingers. The keyboard has a 12-degree split and a 14-degree gable to encourage better wrist and arm alignment and features an optional palm rest.
The keyboard features a two-color battery life indicator that warns users when it is time to replace batteries; red means the batteries are running low on power, and solid green glows and then fades away when new batteries are inserted. In addition, the keyboard includes great productivity features, including easy-to-access forward and back buttons; Zoom, a slider to zoom in and out when navigating large documents or images; and customizable Hot Keys such as Mail, Web/Home, Search and more.

Signature Natural design elements include these:
