I ran through 3 MS sculpts over the years and was very happy. The function keys on the sculpt are pretty bad and so was the longevity. Had to switch out the keyboard quite frequently because the palm rest turned disgusting :D

I switched to the KinesisGaming Split + Cherry MX Brown keyboard a few month ago and don't regret it so far.

Sometimes I miss the tiny sculpt because it takes up less space on the desk, but I do not miss having to switch batteries :D

Wow, how much do you type? Mine last more than a year.

Actually, the batteries it came with only ran out last week and I thought the keyboard itself was dead, since it happened all of a sudden after I moved apartments.

I also use the sculpt and the batteries do last a while.

The led hidden between the space bar buttons should flash red when it is low on batteries.
