Logitech - ERGO K860 Ergonomic Full-size Wireless Scissor Keyboard for Windows and Mac with Palm Rest - Black

Finally! I've been waiting for Logitech to design a keyboard similar in design to the Microsoft Natural keyboard. I've owned a range of Microsoft ergonomic keyboards, which include the 4000, Sculpt, Surface Ergonomic, etc. I've also owned many Logitech keyboards (gaming and ergonomic), but never found them as comfortable as the Microsoft keyboards. I've been using this keyboard for well over a month and must say that I am absolutely please with the comfort and responsiveness. The keys are soft, the wrist pad is comfortable, and includes all the functionality that I need in a keyboard. The only minor drawback that I experienced in the beginning was that the right side of the keyboard is spaced about 1/2" closer to the left side of the keyboard, which threw me off for the first few days. This just required some adjustments because my "muscle memory" had to be retrained. So what do I like about this keyboard? * It's wireless (unlike to 4000 Ergonomic keyboard) * It wakes up almost instantly as soon as I press a key (unlike my Surface Ergonomic Bluetooth keyboard which takes several seconds to wake up) * It doesn't intermittently stop responding when long pressing keys while gaming (unlike my Sculpt, which will become unresponsive for about 30 seconds at random times) * The keys are soft like the Surface and Sculpt * It's a split keyboard design like the Microsoft Natural designs for people like me who've grown accustomed to using this style keyboard * The wrist pad is soft similar to the Microsoft keyboards, but seems more durable and less likely to stain unlike the Microsoft keyboards * Includes a Fn key (unlike the Sculpt), making it easy to use the F1-F12 keys without a toggle switch * It supports Bluetooth (or their Unifying USB receiver) for wireless communication * It can be paired with up to three devices (PC, Macs, and anything with Bluetooth support) Regardless of its strengths, this also goes without saying that the keyboard also has some minor shortcomings. * The gap between the padding and the keyboard is a big enough channel that will allow dirt to get trapped * The padding cannot be detached (nor appears to be replaceable) * No Fn key on the left side of the spacebar (there's only one Fn key, which is to the right of the spacebar) * May take at least a couple days to adjust due to muscle memory being used to a previous keyboard * A little more pricey than comparable keyboards I can't comment on the ability to remap/customize the keys since I'm completely fine with the default setup, but I do know that it's possible. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this keyboard since I wasn't expecting it to feel like my previous Microsoft keyboards. I assure you that if you like the design and comfort of Microsoft keyboards, you will appreciate this keyboard even more. It's excellent for productivity, as well as for casual gamers. If you're looking for a Microsoft Natural keyboard replacement, look no further. I highly recommend this if you can deal with the minor shortcomings mentioned above.

This is the best keyboard I've ever used. I bought it a week ago for my home office and used it the last five days. I type all day for email, chat, making presentations and other documentation for my company. Tactile feel of the device is excellent, pressing the keys feels good, physical use of the keyboard is enjoyable. The keys available are good (no keys I use are missing, not many excessive keys I never use, though some, which was expected with a modern keyboard). Device is all one piece, which is great. Has an on/off toggle which is great, but I always forget to use, says it has 2 year battery life I think, we'll see in a year. Wrist rest feels great, we'll see how long it holds up. I have used a natural keyboard for the last year, but had bought one from Kensington because it only cost $50 and had a key arrangement closer to what I wanted. But sadly that felt cheap. I used it for almost a year before giving up and deciding to replace it. I tried both of Microsoft's natural (ergo) keyboard options in store and both were acceptable, but this Logitech was a clear winner, no contest. I'm really appreciative that the flip up clips to angle the keyboard are on the close side, so that the wrist wrest is elevated (rather than on the far side so the function keys are elevated). This is the correct ergonomic way to angle your hand/fingers. It's funny though, even on the box they couldn't deviate from industry norms and the icon they chose shows the flips on the wrong side. Not only are the flips on the correct side, they have two different size flips to choose from. Way to go Logitech. Great device!

I have used split ergonomic keyboards almost exclusively since the 1990s when I got the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. In recent years, I bought mechanical keyboards because I liked the old-fashioned feel, but this exacerbated my old injuries and required me to get another ergonomic keyboard. This took a little getting used to, but is just as comfortable, easy on the joints, and fast to type on as the old Microsoft Natural line of keyboards (that's a very high compliment from me). If you already have a Logitech Unifying receiver, you can download the Unifying software from Logitech and connect this keyboard to the Unifying dongle that you already have. If you can use that instead of USB, you'll find a better connection. As with all such wireless dongles, it is strongly recommended that you get a powered USB hub on your desktop (near your keyboard) and plug the dongle into the hub for the best reception for wireless devices on the desk. Some of the keys are programmable, but I only programmed the "lock" key in the upper-right because it seems inconvenient to have a key that might accidentally lock my computer and make me log back in. I don't know what material the palm rest is made of, but it's incredibly comfortable. The wrist rest also cannot be removed, so do keep that in mind. Like some Logitech mice (such as the Logitech MX Master 3), this can be paired to up to 3 devices, which is great as you can use your keyboard and mouse as a makeshift KVM switch and control multiple devices. The keyboard uses AAA batteries, and according to Logitech should last you about two years before you have to worry about replacing the batteries. While making the keyboard rechargeable like the G915 might have been nice, in a way, the AAA batteries are more convenient in my opinion as you don't have to worry about protecting the lifespan of the battery. This keyboard has not yet been added to Logi Options +, so you will have to install Logitech Options to gain full control over the keyboard's features. Does not work with G-Hub at all. The keyboard is admittedly a bit pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion.

Excellent keyboard. I am new to using ergonomic keyboards but I can definitely see the appeal. It took me some time to get used to the key spacing (i use a mac) but once I did it has been smooth sailing. Connecting to the laptop was easy, i recommend downloading the logi options app to customize the keyboard. The keys are nice and clicky, have a good amount of travel and are fun to type on. The wrist support is amazing for longer working days, the only downside being that it’s stuck to the keyboard with no possibility of replacing. The keyboard uses batteries and so far battery life looks good- i have been using for a month and its still at 100% so no complaints.

It works well. The keys are quiet, responsive, and the angle is good enough for me. After 10 months, one of the feet just broke, but after finally getting through the Logitech support chat bot, they were quick to help with a replacement. I wish it was a better price.
