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

As a developer who frequently switches between Mac and Windows, the Logitech ERGO K860 Ergonomic Keyboard has been a game-changer for me. Designed with comfort and efficiency in mind, this keyboard is perfect for those of us who spend countless hours coding and troubleshooting. The ergonomic split design with a curved keyframe and a built-in palm rest provides unparalleled wrist support. Before using this keyboard, I suffered from persistent wrist pain after long sessions at my desk. Since switching to the ERGO K860, that pain is completely gone! The improved posture and natural typing angle make all the difference. Switching between MacBook and Windows systems is seamless, thanks to the easy connectivity and dual compatibility. The build quality is exceptional, and the typing experience is smooth, quiet, and precise—perfect for deep-focus work. This is hands down one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used, and I highly recommend it to anyone in software development or any field that demands extended hours of computer use. Logitech has nailed it with the ERGO K860!

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.

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.
