Our take

Great for those who need a tailored typing experience.

Alright, so the Goldtouch V2 Adjustable Keyboard is one of those gadgets that promises to make typing a whole lot more comfortable. At first glance, the whole adjustable aspect might seem a bit gimmicky, but once you start using it, you realize it’s *actually* pretty nifty. You can tweak the angle and position to find what feels best for you, which is a big deal if you’re spending hours typing away. It’s like having a custom fit without needing to shell out for something completely bespoke. But don't expect it to magically fix all ergonomic issues; it's more about making things a bit easier on your wrists.

The build quality is solid, though it’s not the fanciest thing around. It’s got a bit of a utilitarian vibe, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you’re into that no-frills look. The keys have a decent feel to them — not too soft, not too clicky. If you’re used to a mechanical keyboard, though, this might not quite scratch that tactile itch. It’s definitely quieter, which is nice if you’re sharing a space and don’t want to sound like you're typing a novel every time you send an email.

One thing to keep in mind is that it takes a bit to get used to. If you’re switching from a regular keyboard, there’s a bit of a learning curve. Your fingers might stumble around a bit initially, especially as you figure out the perfect angle for you. But stick with it, and you might find it makes typing more comfortable in the long run. It’s kind of like getting used to a new pair of shoes – a bit awkward at first, but worth it once it breaks in.

Now, let’s talk about compatibility. It’s pretty straightforward to set up, and it works with both PC and Mac, which is a plus if you’re juggling different systems. But, don’t expect any fancy features like customizable backlighting or programmable keys. It’s more about function over flash. You plug it in, and it just works, which is great if you’re not into fiddling with settings or dealing with unnecessary software.

Overall, if you’re looking for a keyboard that’s going to help with ergonomics without being overly complicated, the Goldtouch V2 is worth considering. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done without a lot of fuss. It’s a good middle-ground option for folks who want something adjustable and reliable without breaking the bank. Just be ready for a bit of an adjustment period, and you might end up really appreciating what it brings to your typing game.
