http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-desktop.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/13/microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-desktop/)Microsoft has pursued ever more exotic (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/microsofts-ergonomically-alliterative-comfort-curve-keyboard-ma/) shapes (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/30/microsoft-sculpt-touch-mouse-sculpt-mobile-keyboard/) in the name of comfort. Its new Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop might just take the cake, however. The all-wireless bundle's centerpiece, the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, centers around a U-shaped layout that keeps wrists in more natural positions; there's also a cushioned palm rest and a separate number pad. Its companion Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, meanwhile, relies on a gently sloped design that allows for a Start screen shortcut and a tilting scroll wheel. Both the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop and a stand-alone version of the mouse should ship this month at respective prices of $130 and $60, while the keyboard will fly solo this September for $81.
If your forearms don't need quite so much coddling, Microsoft is also putting its Sculpt Comfort Keyboard (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/microsoft-sculpt-comfort-keyboard/) and Sculpt Comfort Mouse (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/23/microsoft-sculpt-mobile-mouse-sculpt-comfort-mouse/) together in one kit. The not-so-creatively titled Sculpt Comfort Desktop (shown after the break) drops the number pad and uses more conventional shapes across the board, with the exception of the mouse's swipe-driven touch tab. We suspect many who buy the Comfort Desktop this month will most like its $80 price -- it's a better deal than the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop for those who only need the fundamentals.
