Logitech ERGO K860

So, I got my hands on the Logitech ERGO K860, and this keyboard definitely looks like something out of the future. It's got this wild split, curved design that makes you feel like you're about to type the next great novel. The idea here is to keep your wrists and forearms in a more natural position, and honestly, it kind of works. After a few days, my wrists did feel less strained, which is a win if you spend hours a day typing. It’s not magic, though; it takes some getting used to. The keyboard’s height is adjustable, which is neat, but make sure you have enough desk space for the setup.

The keys themselves feel pretty nice. They’ve got this soft, quiet touch that’s a real pleasure if you’re tired of clickety-clack keyboards. But here's the thing: if you’re into mechanical keyboards, this might feel a bit mushy for your taste. It’s definitely quieter, though, so it’s a solid choice if you’re working around others and don’t want to drive them nuts. The keys are well-spaced, but the split design means you might hit the wrong key now and then, especially if you're a speed demon on the keyboard.

Connectivity is straightforward with this one. You get both Bluetooth and a USB dongle option, which is handy if you’re like me and have a bunch of devices. Switching between devices is pretty seamless, and it can connect to up to three at a time, which is a lifesaver if you're bouncing between a laptop, desktop, and maybe a tablet. Just remember, it doesn't come with a rechargeable battery, so stock up on AAA batteries unless you want to be caught without a keyboard at a critical moment.

Build quality is solid, which is what you'd expect from Logitech. It's got this nice fabric wrist rest that’s comfy and easy to clean, a nice touch for someone who lives on coffee like me. But, if you're prone to spilling things (again, like me), just be cautious. The keyboard itself feels durable, but it’s not the lightest, so it’s not exactly ideal for travel. If you’re looking for something portable, this isn’t your guy.

Overall, the Logitech ERGO K860 is a pretty cool keyboard if you're willing to give it a chance to grow on you. It’s not a magic bullet for ergonomics, but it does help reduce some strain if you’re typing all day. It’s not perfect, especially if you’re switching from something super compact or mechanical, but it’s definitely got its benefits. Just be ready for a bit of an adjustment period, both in layout and feel. If you’ve got the desk space and are keen on trying something new, it’s worth a shot.
