The Ergonomic Touchpad Keyboard from Adesso features a fixed split design and a built in touchpad. It employs moderate resistance tactile membrane keyswitches to provide feedback while typing with the integrated GlidePoint touchpad eliminating the need for extended reach to the mouse on the right. All of the alpha-numeric keys are standard size, unlike many similar keyboards that have wider keys to create a more symmetrical appearance. This means that a consistent target is present for the fingers on all keys. The Function row of keys are half-height, to help reduce the depth of the keyboard footprint and across the top of the keyboard are 20 hot-key buttons providing one-touch access to Internet Browser and Media Controls, Sleep/Wake/Power, and Calculator/My Computer/Media Player/Email. The keycap legends are twice the size of standard legending, making this suitable where higher visibility is required.
While the keyboard does offer a split layout, the separation in the middle is quite limited when compared to other split keyboards, even earlier models from Adesso. The minimal separation limits the benefit that the split could otherwise provide. The splay is also less than most other fixed-splay keyboards, only around 24°. The minimal separation and the reduced splay will result in some degree of wrist deviation for all except those of very slender build. The Navigation Keys, and especially the Numeric Keypad are angled the opposite of the Alpha/Numeric Keys, with the result being that orienting the hand to these, especially the numeric keypad, will require either a noticeable degree of outward rotation of the shoulder, abduction at the elbow, or ulnar deviation at the wrist.
The Ergonomic Touchpad Keyboard includes an integrated sloping palm support. However these are solely composed of hard plastic that is fairly slippery, causing the heels of the hands to slip back off the keyboard - those with longer hands will find this more noticeable. As well, the depth of the supports is noticeably shallower than earlier Adesso designs, especially for the right hand, further increasing the potential of slippage occurring.
Both left and right Space Bar keys lack stabilization which leads to a variance in activation feel over the width of the spacebar. In addition, the Caps Lock, Shift, Enter and both Space Bar keys are recessed slightly lower than the other keys, permitting less travel. As a result all of these bottom-out earlier than the other keys, which can be disconcerting and break typing rhythm.
The left and right alpha-numeric key groupings also feature slightly differing angles and keycap elevation. The left has both a slightly steeper angle and greater keycap elevation from row to row than the right key group. While the variance is not pronounced there may be those who find it significant enough to affect their positional proprioception.

The Wireless Ergonomic Trackball Keyboard from Adesso features a fixed split design with integrated cursor control and clicking. It employs moderate resistance tactile membrane keyswitches to provide feedback while typing with the centrally-positioned 0.875" diameter trackball offering smooth and accurate cursor control while eliminating the need for extended reach to the mouse on the right or left. All of the alpha-numeric keys are standard size, unlike many similar keyboards that have wider keys to create a more symmetrical appearance. This means that a consistent target is present for the fingers on all keys.

The Wireless Ergonomic Mini Trackball Keyboard from Adesso has a tenkeyless layout and features a fixed split design with integrated cursor control and clicking. The compact width of just 13.8" and incorporated cursor control reduce the risk of overreach not uncommon with full-width keyboards. This keyboard employs moderate resistance tactile membrane keyswitches to provide feedback while typing and the centrally-positioned 0.875" diameter trackball provides smooth and accurate cursor control while eliminating the need for extended reach to the mouse on the right or left. Vertical scrolling is provided by a scroll wheel positioned just above the trackball and between the left and right space bars. All of the alpha-numeric keys are standard size, unlike many similar keyboards that have wider keys to create a more symmetrical appearance. This means that a consistent target is present for the fingers on all keys. The Function row of keys are half-height, to help reduce the depth of the keyboard footprint. The keycap legends are twice the size of standard legending, making this suitable where higher visibility is required.
While the keyboard does offer a split layout, the separation in the middle is quite limited when compared to other split keyboards, even earlier models from Adesso. The minimal separation limits the benefit that the split could otherwise provide. The splay angle is also less than most other fixed-splay keyboards, only around 24°. The minimal separation and the reduced splay will result in some degree of wrist deviation for all except those of very slender build.
The Wireless Ergonomic Mini Trackball Keyboard includes an integrated sloping palm support. Ccomposed of hard plastic that is fairly slippery, this can result in the hands slipping back off the keyboard. The shallow depth of the supports will most likely exacerbate this, so only those with the smallest of hands will actually be able to benefit from the proffered support. Both left and right Space Bar keys lack stabilization which leads to a variance in activation feel over the width of the spacebar.
The left and right alpha-numeric key groupings also feature slightly differing angles and keycap elevation. The left has both a slightly steeper angle and greater keycap elevation from row to row than the right key group. While the variance is not pronounced there may be those who find it significant enough to affect their positional proprioception.
