Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using Logitech products for several years. I have an MX Mouse that I absolutely adore. I’d been thinking about using a split keyboard as I often spend hours at my desk typing various things (mainly e-mail and reports). While it certainly takes some getting used to, after using the keyboard for a few days, I really don’t want to move my hands. The wrist rest is incredibly comfortable and gives my hands a lot of support. They feel much more natural than with a standard keyboard. I didn’t realize what I was missing until I went down this route! They keyboard is a good size and weight. The keys create the right level of resistance and travel. They feel very comfortable to use. I don’t find myself accidentally typing anything I don’t want, nor do I find myself with tired fingers at the end of the day. The only difficulty I really have is finding the “Y” and “B” keys with my fingers. Apparently, I taught myself incorrectly when I learned to touch type many years ago. This keyboard is forcing me to learn the standard approach. I can’t blame Logitech for my own poor education. Curiously, the hardest phrase for me to write now is ‘Natural typing position’. If you can get that right on this keyboard, thank your instructor! The K860 connects via Bluetooth or with the included dongle. You can also connect with up to 3 devices such as a laptop, phone, or TV. The downloadable software allows you to customize the function keys on your Windows or Mac machine. By default, the custom functions are in play (like many laptops these days). You can change that easily with the fn-lock button, a nice addition instead of having to go through the software. The keyboard is missing a ‘Pause’ key, but it adds keys for calculator and ‘right click’ menu context. Personally, I use those way more than I use pause in my office work. It will sit comfortably on your lap or on your desk, depending on what your natural typing position is. The only thing I would take points off for was Logitech’s decision not to include backlit keys, rechargeable batteries, or Flow on this model. Mechanically and from a design perspective, this keyboard shares a pedigree with Logitech’s ‘MX’ series of premium devices. It also shares a price point, coming in slightly above the MX Keys keyboard that includes the above. Moving to this from the K800 backlit keyboard would have been a much easier choice if I hadn’t had to give up that functionality. Ultimately, that takes a star off the review for what’s otherwise an excellent unit.

Logitech ERGO K860 Ergonomic Split Keyboard An Occupational Safety and Health brochure offers a simple description of desirable features for comfortable keyboards. Ultimately it’s about the most natural work positions. Are your forearms bent at too severe an angle while your wrists bend upwards to strike the keys? Are you holding your elbows out and away from your body to reach all the keys? Do your hands naturally lay on the keys, or are you rotating your hands at the wrist, creating tension in the process? Anything that pulls you away from a neutral wrist posture is likely to increase the chance of injury. PERFORMANCE: Logitech’s ERGO K860 keyboard, when placed at the right height for me, provides a very natural position for my hands. Keys initially appear to be slightly to the outside (lateral) of where I expect them to be, and I’m learning to “bring them back” to the where I expect them. The split keyboard definitely lets me straighten my wrist so it’s aligned with my forearm. The built-in palm rest further contributes to a natural position by taking strain off the wrists. It’s also feels nice under the wrist. For “hunt and peck” typists it’s important to be able to find the keys, and the Logitech makes it very easy, visually. And, of course, key press force is also a feature that the Logitech gets right. It takes very little pressure to actuate the keys and I had no missed letters. Even though this a wireless connection, it’s a very reliable and instantaneous link. I sensed no lag at all. The keyboard also is loaded with direct access keys and works as easily with Mac and MS Operating systems. LOGITECH’s UNIFYING RECEIVER is a very small USB wireless receiver that communicates with as many as 6 Logitech wireless devices. Setup for me, because I already own a Logitech mouse, was little more than turning on the keyboard, restarting the Logitech options software, and allowing access to my keystrokes in the Mac system software. I’ve been successfully using their Unifying receiver with various Logitech mice and keyboards for years. I usually plug it into a dock, especially now that recent computers offer only USB-C ports. I’ve never had a problem. Although each Logitech wireless device includes a Unifying receiver in the box, you only need one for up to 6 devices. Simply store the extra receivers in case you lose one. Setup is very easy. SUMMARY: The Logitech ERGO K860 should be thought of as “an ounce of prevention”. The problem with trying to cure an injury by finding a corrective keyboard is that you’ve probably waited too long. If you spend any significant amount of time at your computer, you need to prioritize comfort. A keyboard that allows you to have a natural, relaxed position at all times will keep you out of the doctor’s office. You ought to give the Logitech a try. It works for me.

The Logitech ERGO K860 Ergonomic Split Keyboard is a higher-end keyboard option that has a split, raised, keyboard and wrist area designed to reduce stress on your wrists and hands. Some may question the need to invest in a keyboard that costs nearly $130.00 as I thought, but after using it for a time now, my opinion is changing. The K860 is roughly the size of most standard keyboards with some extra room for a larger wrist rest area. It uses two AAA batteries and connects via either a USB dongle or Bluetooth. I chose Bluetooth and so far the connection has been more stable than other devices I’ve tried in the past. The keyboard is built solid with no creeks or plasticy type noises, and the keys give just enough to tactile feedback, but are quiet with no clicks or other distracting noises. The large wrist area is fabric covered and two risers you can flip out under it allow you to raise the bottom area higher – handy if you use a standing desk where the keyboard may sit a little lower than it does when you are sitting. There are unfortunately, no risers on the upper side of the keyboard. My job involves a lot of typing. I type all day, and then type even more later for personal use, so it’s safe to say that on some days, I’m using a keyboard for hours. Over time I developed issues with my wrists and hands like many in this position, and even though I’ve used other brand’s “ergo” type keyboards, they only helped a little, and I still have to resort to using wrist braces many days now to help reduce the discomfort. The K860 however, takes things a couple of more steps beyond a typical ergo type keyboard. It doesn’t just curve the keyboard a nominal amount – it splits it in half, adds some space in-between each side, curves it a bit more on each side, and on top of that, raises the center of the keyboard and then slopes it as you near each side, plus again, adds a larger than normal, cloth covered wrist rest. A lot to say. Combine all of these, and to me, the reduction in stress on my wrists and hands is much more noticeable than on other keyboards. At first use, it’s enough of a change to warp your brain a bit; my typing speed was reduced by half as my head had to re-adjust to this new typing orientation. It took about 4 solid days before my brain got used to it, and now I’m (almost) back to normal typing speeds. Best of all, I’ve experimented with not wearing my wrist supports and typing is a lot less painful than before; I feel over time, I may no longer need them. I would like to see the K860 drop in price some, still. I would like to see risers on the top-underside of the keyboard for those who need them, and I would like to see a removeable wrist support cover as over time, I can see hand oils getting this one dirty and it will be had to clean being cloth. The included software has a few bugs in it which prevented me from opening an account so adjust keys, etc., so I’d like to see that worked out. So it’s not perfect. But overall I am impressed with the K860, the exact way the keys have been placed, and the comfort it offers compared to other boards out there. I’m including a couple of photos that actually come from Logitech, because my desk is so messy I can’t get a good angle shot of just how this keyboard is shaped and curved – their photo shows it well. I also am using their shot of how if using a stand-up desk, you can rise the lower area of the keyboard for a greater slope. Give it a try and give yourself a few days to adjust. If you don’t agree, return it, but I think many may like this one.

This is Logitech's only split ergonomic keyboard. It's also the first ergonomic keyboard that can simultaneously be paired to multiple devices, is wireless and supports multiple operating systems. This keyboard is a great complement to the MX Vertical mouse, which I'm also using. The layout uses 'island' keys that feel similar to a laptop keyboard: The keys are slightly separated, with a limited travel compared to mechanical keys. With the divided keyboard, each side is tilted left/right for a more natural resting positions of the hands. The media and desktop shortcut keys are fully functional on both macOS and Windows 10. The integrated wrist rest is nicely padded while maintaining the keyboard's contour. As a quirk, a phone can slide nicely under the curve on the keyboard. Battery: It uses 2xAAA alkaline batteries. Logitech claims two years battery life. This might be true. I'm also using another Logitech (with mechanical keys) and it's been over a year with the same batteries. On the plus side of using AAA batteries, there is no planned obsolescence here: Change the standard batteries and works like new again. Connectivity: It can either use the Logitech unifying USB receiver, or it supports Bluetooth 5.0 LE. Note that if using an older computer that does not support Low Energy mode, the keyboard might not work with Bluetooth, but works with the USB receiver. The Unifying receiver can connect to up to 6 devices (On the same receiver). I cannot reinforce enough how reliable the connection is with the unifying receiver, and one receiver works with both keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has three buttons to switch devices it connects to, or if using a compatible Logitech mouse, enable Flow to seamlessly switch between devices. This keyboard supports flow when used with the Logitech MX Vertical mouse, and it works between macOS and Windows 10. It took me about a week to adapt to this keyboard, coming from a mechanical keyboard. There are no lift tabs on the back of the keyboard, instead they are on the front so it can lean backwards when using it on a standing desk. As potential cons to consider, as per one's preferences: - No option to recharge batteries. - No wired USB: Wireless only. - No backlight keys. - No mechanical keys: From personal experience, it took me longer to get used to the shorter travel than to the split keyboard. - Keycaps are not removable.

I had been using Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for several years now, which I like but it was definitely need to be replaced soon. But my Microsoft keyboard is huge and is not wireless. Ergo from Logitech looks like a piece of art. It has a very simple design and very attractive looking. The first thing I notice is, how good looking the keyboard is. The connection can be done via Bluetooth or USB. This is the first non Apple keyboard that I have that connects using Bluetooth. I do appreciate that this keyboard comes with both options. The connection was a breeze and very quick. As soon as you click the available Bluetooth devices from the list, the keyboard connects right away with your computer. I am using Windows 10. I have not tried this with my MacBook Air. But the instruction says that the keyboard can be used for either Apple or Windows PC. So, I have MacBook Air for awhile and I am very pleased with their keyboard. It’s flat and very precise. Logitech has similar keys to Apple keyboard. And the good news is it’s also very precise. The keyboard also comes with resting wrist for more natural typing. I have been using it for a week. I am a very fast typer. But somehow I still have to often look at the right side of the keyboard because I keep pushing the key next to the one that I am supposed to push. I am pretty sure eventually I will be able to type without looking at the key anymore. I am just wondering why after a week, I am still having to look at those keys. Another thing that I like about this keyboard is that it forces you to sit “more straight up”. I used to slouch so low using the previous keyboard but I can’t do it as much with this keyboard. And I do love how soft the material used for resting the wrist. WIll this help if you have issue with your wrist? Based on my experience, so far the keyboard is working as it should be. I have not had any issue with my wrist from typing too much. And I type a lot. Another feature that I like about this keyboard is that it can be paired with up to 3 different devices. Right now, I am typing this review on my iPad using the keyboard. Again pairing the keyboard with the ipad is very quick and easy. I think I am going to love this keyboard.

The Logitech k860 is a wireless ergonomic keyboard that, so far in my use of it, dosent disappoint. First of all, you have the option of using it via Bluetooth or USB. The USB is just a small module that is a receiver for your computer. If you use the Bluetooth feature there is no need for the USB receiver. The keyboard allows you to connect it to 3 different computers. Setup over Bluetooth for me was as simple as you can get on my Windows 10 desktop. Simply remove the tab in the battery compartment of the keyboard, go to Bluetooth devices in settings on windows. Turn Bluetooth on and select ERGO K860. A pin will display in Windows. Press the corresponding keys on the keyboard and your done! The keyboard comes with a builtin (non-detachable) palm rest. It's soft and comfortable. It has legs under the palm rest that can be flipped out to change the angle of the keyboard for people who may use it from a standing position. The feel of the keys are good. I'm typing this on the K860 and haven't felt any fatigue as of yet which points out that the curvature of the keyboard is correct. This type of keyboard is a must for those who type for long periods of time as I do on occasion. The K860 also has an on/off switch so I can turn off the keyboard to prevent unnecessary battery drain. It has all of the keys you would expect for a full size keyboard and the shortcut (function) keys are mapped properly in Windows 10. Overall I'm impressed. Well done Logitech!

I must first admit, the ergonomic design was something to get used to. I am not a “techie”per se, just an everyday working mom so I didn’t see how it was going to a step up from a standard keyboard until after I used it for the first time. Also, if you don't like fooling with the instructions, they are right there on the box with a picture diagram when you open it. HUGE WIN HERE. Here are a few other features I found out about this keyboard: Pros -You can connect it via standard usb or even bluetooth —really simple setup -Is both Mac and Windows compatible -the center keys have this unique setup that somehow helps your finger placement while typing -sturdy keyboard feel -soft wrist pad Cons -It may take some getting used to coming form a standard keyboard -The power on switch is a bit easy to miss -though it’s worth it, some may find it a bit pricy After using it a few days now I feel like I’m spoiled with it now and can no longer go back to a regular keyboard. It is also reassuring to have learned that the ergonomic design is more useful and even healthier for people like me who are typing for a significant amount of time regularly.

Keyboard portion worked as expected, however not even two months before one of the front supports broke during normal home office use. Two weeks past return window of course. Disappointed.

I bought this keyboard along with the MX Vertical mouse and have been using both every day for work. This keyboard has been flawless. Absolutely no complaints. The split layout felt a little different at first but it only took a few days to adjust. Now I can't imagine going back. My typing feels more natural and my wrists stay comfortable even after long hours. The built-in wrist rest is soft but supportive and makes a huge difference during extended typing sessions. The keys have a nice feel to them — quiet but responsive. It connects easily and stays connected whether I'm on Windows or Mac. Battery life is fantastic and I love not having to worry about recharging all the time. It looks great on my desk and helps me keep a healthy posture while working. If you're looking for a keyboard that's comfortable, reliable, and built for real-world use, this is a no-brainer. Five stars without hesitation.

I had been using the k350 for years. Eventually i realized i was occasuonally having wrist pain, and it was super loud and mushy to type on. I got this in early 2020 and haven't had any wrist pain since, plus it's actually pretty quiet to type on. It wasnt difficult to get used to. None of the lettering is wearing out and the wrist pad isnt deformed at all. There are dark spots where my wrists sit, but it doesnt affect function or comfort so i dont mind. Ive only had to change the batteries a couple of times, the only thing it's missing is backlit keys for the price.

This is the comfiest keyboard i have ever owned! Also, for the sensory people out there, the key sounds are quiet but still satisfying to hear and the keys feel nice to press. I historically had pain in my wrists, hands and forearms from how much typing I do in a day at work. No longer an issue with this keyboard! I also love that it uses Bluetooth to connedr to my laptop and other devices. It saves my few availbale plug-in spots and lets me multitask when im multitasking between my personal and work laptops with just the press of a button.

The keyboard Keyboard Ergo K860 first impression has to do with its latest version of connectivities and flexibility with customizable function, with support for up to 3 multiple PC/Notebooks connectivity for ergonomic purpose. Following review consist of usage for four days with MacBook Pro 13” (iOS Sierra), 15” (Catalina) and Windows Notebook Windows 10; and describe only remarkable aspect leaving out standard or universally common aspect. Setting up with Notebooks is straight forward, and most of functions seems to work as per specification (didn’t use all but only mostly used during writing experience, running number, and browsing, switching devices). The main strength of the keyboard is the Ergonomic aspect designed in the one piece of keyboard . Typing experience is good although feels bit different in a sense its bouncing up as type doesn’t feel as pressing. But what is is sure it is effortless to press the key. Then everything in between relies on the natural position of the hand and arm driven by the stylish direction of left and right side keys. In this sense is not very different from traditional design, but excelled by underneath mechanical aspect I assume. Now personal thought, what looks redundant is the numpad. This is because from design and ergonomic view, while typing, right hand need to move all the way to right side; then return back to typing position. On the other hand as the numbers are part on the top row above characters, feels to create un productivity contrary to the claim in Logitech product site. Now another benefit of the keyboard to mention or to confirm the product claim, is multi OS. It works seamlessly as switching from IOS to Windows without hassle. This is achieved upon setup connectivity, pressing a button which allows switch around as need. (Ie from iOS to Windows, then from Windows to iOS). The physical aspect looks slim and nice. But this is only from the distance. Once front of the display, it looks bulky and taking quite a space of the desk unless user using large one. Now, the keyboard design itself for ergonomics usage, it doesn’t look very different to Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard at glance. Compared to it, Logitech ERGO K860 is bit heavier (40.92oz) vs Microsoft (35.98 oz including cable). Then the obvious, one is totally wireless while second one is wired while the price difference MSRP $129.99 vs $59.99. But the gap being justified most probably to the range of connectivity offered in Ergo K860, its worthless something to value. What look to come short: 1. Keyboard Backlight: in the night hard to notice the keyboard unless the hand is fully used and not need to look at it. 2. Receiver is only USB A type, not type C (probably left out as assume it will use Bluetooth in devices without USB A type connection, but is my assumption) 3. Bulky aspect. Although its bulkiness might be due to the palm rest, feels need some more research such that take less space of the desk) 4. Battery is not rechargeable. Probably this depend on point of view, but the keyboard use AAA batteries, and for those doesn’t like replacing it mostly wishful function. Attached with review compilation of photo that include comparison of size with apple keyboard, display size 24”, unpacking, battery and two level of hight. Then second screenshot of comparing specification between Logitech ERGO K860 and Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard. Odd aspect but just detail. At Logitech product site under section for 2-Year Battery Life, it mention “…when it is time to recharge, the battery indicator light glow red” (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/k860-split-ergonomic-keyboard/page/ergok860-features). But I couldn't find rechargeable cable or doesn’t come with the package. Maybe typo on the site.

This keyboard had been on my radar for some time. I first saw it online but I wanted and needed to feel it for myself prior to buying. I knew immediately after testing it out in the store that I was going to buy this model. First and foremost I have to rave about the packaging. I don't spend on myself often so this was a gift to myself. I got it home and began to open the box. As I lifted the top open I see the keyboard is wrapped in tissue paper! Like a present. It was very nice. It wasn't like the normal plastic bags, the tissue paper was folded over with a sticker on it to hold it together. That is pride in your product. Dislike - there is a lock button right above the 10-key pad above the minus sign. I use that button quite a bit and have on occasion locked my computer in one second because of that button. I wish it was somewhere else. I do like the ability to quickly lock my screen. I work remotely and this keeps my information secure. Dislike: The wrist cushion bar. I wish I weren't as wide or removable so I can add my own. I would have also liked if it were removable because it would be easier to dust off as little things can get settled in the crevice. Likes - literally everything else! It's very quiet. The keys are soft and almost flush with the keyboard so not bulky. The design of it being an ergonomic keyboard is well done. I have no aches in my wrists after hours of working. I appreciate that! It's very easy to use and connect. It does not take up too much room. I use a smaller two drawer desk, I have this keyboard, a laptop and two monitors and still have room. I didn't take away any stars because my dislikes are personal preference more than poor construction. I only wish I purchased it sooner.

When ergonomic keyboards first came out some twenty plus years ago, I bought one of the first models. I believe it was in 1998. Have things changed and have come a long way since then. Most of the Ergo keyboards split your keys, but the Logitech Ergo K860 actually raises on the inside of your hands next to your pointer fingers that tapers away to your pinkies. This is very comfortable position and a more natural feel. The keys are shaped so your fingers naturally fall into the center. The space bar is split so either thumb can connect with it. It also has a built in 10-Key which is a nice added feature. There is a function lock button that helps you to easily switch between function keys and media keys. The attached adjustable pillowed wrist support lifts in the back to make a more comfortable experience for when you are standing. There are two connection methods, Bluetooth or usb receiver. The receiver will actually connect multiple devices so you can free up a usb slot if needed. The connection instructions are easy to follow and there is actually easy connect for up to three devices. I have only had it for about a week, but I do notice that I have less fatigue than my regular keyboard. I do notice I make more mistakes when I have to switch back and forth between the Logitech Ergo K860 and my laptop keyboard. The laptop keys are really close together and the Logitech Ergo K860 fits my hands better.

The Logitech Ergo K860 is a nice keyboard. The programmable keys are a must have. The keys feel natural and its takes a few moments to get use to. The build in hand rest is soft water resistant. The water beads up and runs off. I am left handed, my wrist keeps sliding off the hand rest. It is easy to program the keys following the online instructions. There is a two level height adjustment in the front. The raises the front and the board slopes toward the rear. Putting it in the highest level stopped my wrist from sliding off. It also gives better fit for typing. The new hookup system allows for more than 1 device to use the same dongle. This keyboard is not back lit. If you are not a touch typist I would not recommend this keyboard, I would recommend it, if you are used to typing on an ERGO split keyboard, and upgrading.

This keyboard is great. It's much quieter than my previous keyboard. The keys are smooth and are raised to a good height. The wrist rest is comfortable and easy to clean, I was a little skeptical because I thought it was going to be more cushy and a different fabric but I've had no issues and have been pleasantly surprised with how much I like it. I love the split board, it is much more comfortable than a standard keyboard layout. I've had zero carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. All in all, I really like this and would recommend to anyone who needs an ergonomic keyboard.

If you are trying to find a wireless ergonomic keyboard I do not think there is any better option out there . Pros : - Good ergonomic design - nicely spaced keys - Good tactile keys ( not mechanical level) - battery life is great - Cons - not rechargeable - little bulky takes a lot of space so not for minimalist - palm rest is little hard and not detachable - gap between palm rest and keyboard collects a lot of dust.

I've been an ergo/split keyboard user for many years. I had the OG white MS ergonomic keyboard until it died. Since I've had many, many models of split keyboards from various brands. I saw Logitech had a new model coming out and I checked out the specs and early reviews. (See the tl;dr for the story of my recent keyboard woes.) It's got Bluetooth with easy switching for three devices, plus a USB dongle, two height adjustment setting on the flip out legs, and has MacOS support. It was impossible to view one in person (stupid pandemic!) but I decided to spend the money and try it; my home keyboard/mouse/monitor are now critical for my job. I am completely happy with its key travel, although I thought it was a little soft at first. I was a little worried about the wrist rest "fabric" but it looks better in person and feels nice. It is also easy to clean, but that little ridge between it and the keyboard does collect crumbs and dust. Canned air takes care of it easily enough. The Logi Options tool for MacOS works like a charm (so much better than the old days when Logitech had only so-so Mac support). Although you have to use a login, it saves my settings between devices! My only issue with it was hitting the Print Screen button when going for backspace, but I finally got used to that (I almost set that button as another backspace button). I haven't had it long enough to know about battery life, but it has lasted the two months I've had it and still shows full. The USB dongle has a nice storage nook under the battery compartment so i don't worry about losing it. It is expensive, but my hands and wrists would say it is worth every penny. I am now using this keyboard more than 8 hours a day and love it. tl;dr Recent history of my ergo keyboard woes: About a year ago I needed a new keyboard for use at home. I am a Mac user which can bring its own compatibility challenges, especially with one of the major brands that sell ergo keyboards (I won't mention Microsoft's name). I bought their latest fancy Surface version which was bluetooth enabled. It was nice but the bluetooth connection was poor and you could only pair with one device. Also, since there was no MacOS driver or utilities, there was no way to see the battery level or to swap keys around (to better work like a Mac with the command key being closest to the spacebar) so I had to find a third party utility. It was so frustrating, when they released a new, simple corded ergonomic model I picked that up. At least I could swap keys in the regular keyboard settings and not need a third party utility, but again, no drivers and so I had to set it up by hand and the media/functions keys were not configurable. The keys were big and clicky, and although I know some people like that, I am not one of them. End tl;dr

Got this after going over a ton of reviews on multiple platforms. Using it for the past 2-3 weeks and so far I really like it! I was looking for a keyboard that is ergonomic and works with my MacBook Pro and does not need customized key labels! This one fits the bill perfectly. Even though it's a bit on the pricey side, I already feel a difference. Even after using it all through the day, I don't get the pain I used to get near my wrists and forearms. Also, the wrist wrest is quite comfortable. Coming from using the Apple wired keyboard, this feels like a huge upgrade! The fact that you can pair it with 3 devices using Bluetooth or the dongle is awesome! Overall, I love it so far!

This keyboard is exactly what I needed! I do accounts receivable/billings and have recently started to develop symptoms of carpel tunnel so I decided to look into ergo keyboards. I had the "Logitech K350 Wireless Wave Ergonomic Keyboard with Unifying Wireless Technology - Black" before this and just hated it. Functionally it worked great and had amazing features, it just wasn't for me. The keys were too bulky. It was loud and my typing just felt 'out of flow' even after using it for a few weeks straight (10+ hrs/day). I've only been using this ERGO K860 keyboard for a little over 30 minutes and can already say I'm very pleased with this choice! A few pros: - It's quiet - The setup is very similar to that of a standard laptop keyboard so very little 'readjusting' in my opinion. - The cushion pad is firm but soft - very comfortable and appears durable - The wave design is just right for the comfort of my hands. It feels natural. Even with the 7' lift that is on the wrist-pad portion of the board and not in the top like a few eithers. - The keys are shallow and easy to press - for my girls who enjoy having their nails a little 'longer than normal' like me this is a great keyboard for you. - The response time of the keys are great to. No delay that I can tell. For Cons, I'll have to get back to you on that since I haven't had it long enough to test and speak to accurately but a few thoughts on cons are below: - A little more pricey than the model I had before (a good $60+ more) but you get what you pay for. - For spacing reasons, I'm sure, a few keys appear to have a dual function so this will take a small learning curve. I haven't looked into how to use them appropriately, though, so more on this later. - I've heard there may be some issues with the fn key functionalities based on other reviews, but I don't really use those so I definitely can't speak to that. If you're a gamer, you may want to do more research.
