Adesso’s new EasyTouch pair lands like a thoughtful nudge for anyone who types for a living — or at least types a lot. The company this week rolled out two new mechanical keyboards, the EasyTouch 130 ($44.99) and the EasyTouch 150 ($71.99), pairing the familiar tactile comforts of “brown” mechanical switches with modern ergonomics and a one-press route to Microsoft Copilot on select models. It’s a small, practical riff on two big trends in peripherals right now: better typing feel for everyday workflows, and hardware that folds AI into the day-to-day without a trip to the toolbar.

The headline features are straightforward. Both models use brown mechanical switches that aim for a middle ground between noisy clicky switches and mushy membranes — tactile feedback without an orchestra — and Adesso advertises a 50-million keystroke durability for the switches. Both keyboards also include media and system hotkeys, and select versions add a dedicated Copilot key so one press summons Microsoft’s desktop AI assistant. Those are the kind of practical touches you notice after a week at a keyboard: one less mouse dance, one less Alt-Tab.

If you’re the spreadsheet / email / Slack type, the EasyTouch 130 is the no-nonsense option: a wired, full-size 104-key layout with large-print legends for visibility and the brown mechanicals under the keycaps. Think of it as a conventional desktop keyboard, but built with mechanical switches for a more satisfying, consistent feel than many bundled office boards. Adesso’s materials also point to a row of quick keys — multimedia, internet and Copilot (on select SKUs) — that are useful for repetitive work.

The EasyTouch 150 is the one designed to sit with your posture. It moves the keys into a split-zone arrangement, adds a gently sloped profile and an integrated palm rest, and keeps the same brown mechanical switches beneath. For someone nursing wrist strain or who wants to tilt the typing angle toward comfort, the split layout and palm support are the core selling points — they’re the physical answer to “my wrists hurt after long days.” Adesso’s product copy frames the 150 as a comfort-first pick while still keeping productivity hotkeys and Copilot access on the table.

On pricing and where to buy: Adesso distributed the announcement through its channels this week and lists the new EasyTouch keyboards in its product roll; retailers and resellers are already listing the models. Retail listings vary by seller and region (Adesso’s own catalog pages and partner listings show differing price points), so if price is the deciding factor, it’s worth comparing sellers — but the company is clearly positioning the pair as affordable, productivity-first options.

Why this matters (besides being a nicer keyboard). Hardware makers are trying to remove friction around AI: a dedicated Copilot key isn’t flashy, but it lowers the cognitive cost of trying the assistant during real work. A keyboard that’s comfortable for long stretches and makes it trivial to call up an AI helper can subtly change whether someone reaches for Copilot in the first place — and that’s how platform features become habit. At the same time, packaging comfort and AI access into sub-$100(ish) peripherals is how these features migrate from early adopters to mainstream desks.

Build quality in everyday use (how the palm rest wears, whether the split layout fits different hand widths), switch implementation (brown switches vary by manufacturer), and software/firmware support for rebinding the Copilot key or updating shortcuts. If you’re particular about key feel, try to test-type before buying; if you’re curious about Copilot integration, check whether the Copilot key works out of the box on your OS and build (Adesso lists multi-OS compatibility on multiple models).

The EasyTouch 130 and 150 aren’t headline-grabbing redesigns — they’re pragmatic updates that put a comfortable typing experience and quick AI access into inexpensive hardware. For knowledge workers, support staff, or anyone whose work is mostly typing, that’s often the winning combination: fewer distractions, less strain, and an easier way to try AI in the flow of work. If that sounds like your desk, these are worth a look — compare retailer listings and try to demo the switches if you can.
