Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

Okay, it is time for another review of some great HP products. I’m going to start with some office supplies like this cool keyboard and mouse.

Our Review of the HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard

The HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard is actually two keyboards, and both of them are wireless. The first is that ergonomic keyboard that is quite big, taking up quite a big chunk of real estate on the desk. The section that serves as a wrist rest is quite soft, feeling like some kind of thin mattress for your hands.

Personally, I have never been a fan of that ergonomic keyboard design, but I can tell that it is for your wrists what vegetables are for you body: good for you, but not very comfortable. The split zones with a negative tilt reduces the forearm muscle activity by 19 percent and lateral wrist deviation by 60 percent.

Let me talk about the second keyboard, a numeric keypad. It is also wireless, and it is also battery-powered. I should bring up that the big keyboard uses two AA batteries, while the keypad takes those flat round batteries. The batteries are thankfully included this time.

As I have said before, both keyboards are wireless. The wireless connectivity can happen with an included wireless dongle which is stored underneath the keyboard, which works for both keyboards. If you don’t like that, you can always do Bluetooth.

I really found this keyboard to be great, and the only thing that I didn’t find great was how the keypad required a flathead screwdriver to access the battery pack, which wasn’t very obvious on sight on with the instructions.

Other than that, I love all its cool features, like that it is made of 60 percent post-consumer recycled materials.

Our Review of the HP 925 Ergonomic Vertical Mouse for Business

I have to admit that I don’t really know much about ergonomics, particularly when it comes to mice. I will say that I really do love the very unusual shape of the 925 Ergonomic Vertical Mouse, and it apparently is designed to reduce muscle activity by 12 percent.

I am told that you can switch devices with a click, staying connected to up three devices with a unifying dongle or Bluetooth 5.3, and it works for Windows, Apple, and Chrome devices. I have to admit, I think I kind of dropped the ball in the video as I didn’t really show off its Bluetooth capability.

I did show in the video how there is a place to store the dongle, and I showed its removable wrist support which just latches on magnetically. It has about five customizable buttons, and I didn’t really show off all of them on my video. Whoops.

I do like how the 925 mouse is made of 65 percent recycled materials, but I wonder why it is marketed just for business.

Facts About The Company

So, yes, this is about HP, and I am sure the you have at least heard of them. Chances are, you might have at least used a computer with that logo. For me, it was a calculator back in college.

This company is apparently born of the belief that companies should do more than make a profit. This was a company that was founded about 80 years ago, too. So yeah, they make printers, computers, accessories, and all kinds of stuff.

What Does This Company Make?

This is one of those times where if I wrote about all the products that HP has their hands on, it would be longer than this entire article. I’m just not going to do that.

What Do the Reviews Say?

I don’t seem to find any ratings on Amazon, and that also goes for the HP site. Is this product that new?

Okay, Get To The Unboxing Already!

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?

That’s a good question. There is a keyboard that I reviewed from Kensington that seems similar. I think we reviewed some ergonomic products from Cherry, like a keyboard. The KC 4500 ERGO, to be exact.

As for the mouse, Cherry did one with the MW 4500, and there is also a similar one from Matias.
