Today, the Microsoft Hardware Sculpt series has added a new masterpiece - the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse and the accompanying Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Set have been launched. The new mouse adopts a leading ergonomic design with a unique shape and angle, equipped with Windows shortcut keys, allowing users to enjoy comfortable operation while using the Windows system more easily and conveniently, experiencing the new experience brought by the integration of hardware and software; the desktop set is equipped with a new arch-shaped keyboard, featuring naturally curved keys and a split keyboard design, keeping the user's arms and wrists in a more natural and relaxed state during use. This set provides a more comfortable peripheral experience for white-collar workers who pursue health and efficient office work, and also becomes an ideal choice for gifting to family and friends.
For white-collar workers who sit in offices for long periods, unhealthy computer usage postures and habits often cause muscle pain and sub-health conditions. Recently, the global leading research institution KeltonGlobal conducted a survey on common computer usage habits in different regions worldwide. The results showed that office employees use computers for about 6 hours daily on average, with 64% using desktops and 17% using laptops with external mice and keyboards. Among them, 89% of employees stated they experienced discomfort while working, which directly caused varying degrees of pain in their necks, shoulders, upper backs, wrists, and hands. These physical discomforts directly lower the employees' work efficiency. A comfortable business environment positively impacts work efficiency and health. If the working environment is more comfortable, 45% of employees said their work efficiency would improve, and 20% said they would take fewer breaks. In the survey, most employees indicated they would take many measures to eliminate these pains and improve work efficiency, such as adjusting their sitting posture or using comfortable and ergonomic peripherals.

Based on this global survey report, Microsoft Hardware, a leading manufacturer always committed to ergonomic peripheral product development, has meticulously designed over the years and proudly launched the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse and the accompanying Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Set. This effectively helps users reduce health risks associated with unhealthy peripheral usage environments, enabling comfortable and efficient office work throughout the day.
Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse
The Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse has a unique appearance that is unforgettable at first sight. Its innovative shape fully considers ergonomic design principles, making the user's posture more relaxed and comfortable when in use. The elevated mouse height reduces contact between the palm bottom and the table, minimizing wrist pressure. The unique tilt-angle design keeps the forearm in a more relaxed position when holding, effectively relieving elbow and wrist pressure. The concave groove on the left side of the mouse allows the right thumb to perfectly fit, helping the hand maintain a natural and comfortable position.

As an accessory product comprehensively designed to accompany the Windows 8 system, the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse is also equipped with a blue Windows shortcut key, allowing one-touch access to the Windows 8 start interface and returning to the traditional desktop with another click. Below the Windows shortcut key, there is also a newly added back button for quick navigation to the previous directory. The vertically and horizontally scrollable four-way wheel fully utilizes the horizontal reading capabilities of Windows 8, making page browsing, content selection, and document handling smoother. Moreover, the mouse features 2.4GHz wireless connectivity technology, a plug-and-play Nano receiver, and precise BlueTrack tracking technology, making its actual performance outstanding.

Notably, the new Sculpt Ergonomic Set will also be launched simultaneously. Besides the ergonomic mouse, the ergonomic keyboard in the set is equally eye-catching, allowing users to effortlessly achieve comfortable usage anytime, anywhere.
At first glance, people are immediately attracted by the clearly contoured shape of the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard. Its simple, elegant arch-shaped split keyboard design stands out from any other keyboard available on the market today. When truly used, users will marvel at the unprecedented comfort: the arch-shaped split keyboard keeps the wrists and forearms in a more relaxed and natural position during use; the soft pad wrist rest effectively supports the wrist, reducing injuries caused by incorrect usage postures; the naturally curved key design mimics the bending shape of fingertips, making typing posture more natural; the separated numeric keypad allows users to arrange it according to frequency and needs, granting more freedom to the workspace. Paired with the ergonomic mouse, the Sculpt Ergonomic Set enables users to work comfortably, healthily, and efficiently all day.
