But they’re often quite expensive or come across as being somewhat on the extreme side. So what about the Logitech Ergo K860? It looks fairly normal for an ergonomic keyboard and the price tag isn’t ridiculously high.

In many ways, it’s very similar to theMicrosoft Ergonomic Desktop keyboardbut the split and tenting aren’t as good. It does have some advantages over that model, though, which also happens to be one of my daily drivers.
The first being the key ‘switches’. It’s a membrane system, rather than having individual mechanical switches, and it’s much nicer and quicker to type on than the Microsoft keyboard. That’s mostly down to the fact that the keys themselves are low in profile, with the travel being quite short.
There’s just enough resistance at the end of the motion, along with a quiet but satisfying click, to ensure that you don’t over or under press the keys. A full day of non-stop typing on the Ergo K860 left my hands completely at ease, which isn’t always the case on the Microsoft keyboard.
Compared to a mechanical keyboard, though, the overall feeling is pretty muted. If you love a solid click or lots of tactile feedback, then you’ll absolutely hate the Ergo K860. The short travel helps with responsiveness in games, but it’s still not very fast.
Another plus to the Logitech model is that it’s completely wireless, connecting to a host computer either via Bluetooth or a USB receiver. The latter is one of Logitech’s unified systems, where you just use one dongle to connect multiple devices to the computer.
The Ergo K860 supports up to three Bluetooth connections, and dedicated keys let you switch between them. Handy if you want to use a desktop and laptop with the same keyboard.

The wrist rest padding is also more comfortable than that on the Microsoft ergo keeb and many other ones I’ve tried over the years, too. But this is where the good aspects of the Ergo K860 tail off and the Microsoft model, and other ergonomic keyboards, begin to pull ahead.
One of the first problems I encountered was the fact that the wrist rest is quite high, partly due to the tenting but also because Logitech designed the rest to be totally horizontal, rather than flowing down to the desk.
As someone with chronic wrist problems, I found it a little annoying at times and often wished I could lower or even remove it to give my battered carpals some relief. A shame, as the cushioning itself is superb.

You perhaps wouldn’t want to employ a positive tilt on a tented keyboard, as it could force your wrists into an uncomfortable angle, but it seems like a very specific design choice for a keyboard that’s supposed as all-encompassing as possible.
To be honest, the whole design is rather lacklustre. Sure, it’s easy to pick up and adapt to the split, tented layout and it’s pretty comfy to use (wrist rest issue notwithstanding) but there’s nothing here that makes the Ergo K860 stand out from the vast array of ergonomic keyboards you can buy these days.
For example, there are some dedicated keys for specific functions, such as activating the battery life indicator (a simple LED above the Logi logo), and all of the normal F-keys have a secondary role, but that’s it. There’s nothing like an extra wheel or gadget for scrolling or media control, and either of these would be a welcome extra.
At least you can use the Logitech Options control software to change the secondary role of the F-keys, either for general use or in specific applications. There’s also the ability to add macros (which Logitech calls Smart Actions), although I found the process a little on the clunky side to do.

That’s probably more a lack of familiarity with using the system, rather than a failing of the software, but other keyboards I’ve tested of late have been a lot easier to program macros for.
However, I can’t imagine many PC gamers will be rushing to go out and buy one of these. At $130, it’s not that far off theCloud Nine C959, which is a fully split, mechanical keyboard, with some neat additional features, and it’s far better to use in games.
