ADESSO EasyTouch 150 Review — Ergonomic Cherry MX Brown Under $90

Quick Specs

Source: ADESSO official product page

The ADESSO EasyTouch 150 is the sleeper hit of the ergonomic keyboard world. Split-style design, real Cherry MX Brown switches, an integrated padded wrist rest — all for under $90. Most ergonomic boards with genuine Cherry switches start around $250. ADESSO has been quietly making ergonomic peripherals for over two decades, and this board punches way above its weight class.

Build Quality

The chassis is all plastic, but it’s thick and rigid — no flex, no creak. The integrated wrist rest is foam-padded vinyl, which holds up over time better than the cheap pleather rests on $30 office keyboards. The non-detachable cable is fixed-length but braided. It’s functional rather than premium, and that’s the trade-off you make to get genuine Cherry switches at this price.

Switches and Typing Feel

Real Cherry MX Brown switches — not clones, not Outemu, not Kailh. The light tactile bump (~55g actuation) makes long writing sessions comfortable, and the angled split layout takes pressure off the wrists naturally. After about a week of adjustment, most users hit the same WPM they had on a flat board, with significantly less wrist strain. The ABS keycaps are the weak spot — they’ll shine after six to twelve months of daily use.

Layout and Ergonomics

This is a one-piece split — the keys are angled outward but the board itself is a single unit. Your hands sit at a more natural angle than a flat keyboard but you don’t have to manage two halves. The full-size layout with numpad makes it usable for spreadsheets and finance work, and the included wrist rest sits at the right height. This is the cheapest credible answer to early-stage RSI symptoms on the market.

Who It’s For

Office workers, writers, programmers, and anyone whose wrists are starting to ache after long days at a flat keyboard. Anyone who wants to try ergonomic before spending Kinesis money. Anyone who values plug-and-play simplicity — there’s no software, no drivers, no RGB to fiddle with. Plug it in, type, done.

Verdict

For under $90, the ADESSO EasyTouch 150 delivers real Cherry MX Brown switches in an ergonomic layout. That combination doesn’t really exist anywhere else at this price. It’s not premium, it’s not glamorous, but it is exactly what a lot of wrist-pain sufferers need.
