Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Split Keyboard with Wrist Rest

I've been using it for about a month now and so far it's doing me a lot of good. I've had to kind of re-learn the key positions because of the keyboard's design, but I knew I'd have to do that going in. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and another diagnosed neurological condition that make it hard for me to both type correctly and to type for any length of time. So far the keyboard has worked out well for me and my typing has improved. It's quite comfortable to use. I am a fiction writer currently on a final revision of a novel so I've had a lot of work to do at the keyboard and this one so far has really made things easier. I'm happy with the purchase. Admittedly it has a high price tag but in my case it's definitely money well spent and I'd do it again. Highly recommended.

Went from a normal keyboard to this one and I am very happy that I did. This keyboard makes typing a lot more comfortable and it definitely works well if your fingers go numb from those normal keyboards and it definitely helps if you do have the muscle memory or know the keyboard layout without having to always look at the keyboard while typing. It never hurts to look at the keys while you are typing so you don't make a mistake at times. But this keyboard in my opinion was worth the investment and makes typing easy for me and my hand does not go numb. I do love the fact that it is wireless and I am able to move it where I want to since I do sit far from my screen being far sighted unlike those corded keyboards, but I did go from the cheaper model Logitech to this keyboard and do not regret it what so ever. I also love how the keys are like a laptop for smoother typing and are super quiet, I know that some people prefer the mechanical style of keyboards but this keyboard is smooth and one of the reasons why I chose this one . Thankfully this keyboard is like a laptop keyboard type because all the ergo keyboards that I have used in the past where mechanical like.

UPDATE 2 (7 Aug 2021, ~7 months into ownership). I found the Microsoft context-sensitive menu pop-up key -- equivalent to the right mouse button -- of the MS EP4000. See picture. I don't love this location. But at least it exists. I'm moderately used to it's weird inaccessible placement. But I do have to always look to find it, instead of knowing it's location by muscle memory, like most keys. I probably should put one of those raised gummy circles (like on my delete key and fn key here in the pic) on it. Also, I like this keyboard now so much that I bought one for the office too. It's outside office standards, so I paid for it myself. (This really helps avoid the constant disorientation of working on two different keyboard between home and work.) UPDATE (7 Apr 2021, a few months into ownership). The problems I wrote about below, seem to have miraculously evaporated. I have no idea why. Now this keyboard only spams the volume-up (or down) signal to my PC maybe once a month. And I’ve found that just taking the USB fob out for a second, and cycling the power button on the keyboard clears that every time, and takes maybe 5 second. For something that happens maybe once a month, I can live with it. It is otherwise a very comfortable, fast, easy, quiet keyboard. I’ve even become accustomed to toggling between F-keys and media keys. All in all, this is my new favorite keyboard. ORIGINAL REVIEW This seems the best option for users who loved their Microsoft Ergonomic Pro 4000. Same split layout, and the other keys are more nearly where muscle memory expects them to be (INS, Home, pg up, DEL, end, pg down). And the key action is awesome: actually way faster than the MS EP4000. ... BUT: WARNING #1: Around 1-4 times a week, the communication between my PC and this keyboard locks in some weird setting, like increasing the volume. I can unintentionally get max volume this way in <1 second, with zero forewarning. Happens when I haven't even touched the associated media key. At that time, no other inputs are possible, since the keyboard is busy spamming that one keystroke to the PC. The only solution is (after ripping my headphones off) to remove the USB fob from my PC, wait a minute, plug it back, and hope for the best. Usually that works. But sometimes it's just more of the same, and I have to manually restart my PC. At least that (a reset) always fixes it. But it's a terrible interruption to workflow. You can lose important work that way! This happens on both my self-built PC (keyboard drivers installed), and on my HP laptop (keyboard drivers not installed). So, it's not a problem with my PC. It's not a mechanical sticking (no key is physically wedged): it's a logical sticking. To be clear, it's not just "volume up" that gets locked active. Other keys too. Volume down. And toggles between apps. And stuff I can't really explain/describe: I just see a lot of fibrillation on my monitor, as the various apps go nuts - so far without editing content, but long term who knows? I should RMA this keyboard, but the key action is so damn fluid - I type a lot faster on it - that I'm dragging my feet on the RMA. That, and it's otherwise the prefect replacement for my beloved Microsoft Ergonmic Pro 4000. WARNING #2: I HATE that I have to toggle between the F-keys between F-functions and media key functions. I am not used to that. My old keyboard -- like many who buy this, I bet -- was a Microsoft Ergonmonic Pro 4000 (before Microsoft ruined that line with their terrible 7000 update). It had physically distinct media keys vs. F-keys. So I'm used to adjusting sound volume instinctively, without thinking about it, and ditto hitting F2 to edit a cell entry (e.g., in Excel), or hit F11 to enlarge my browser (to remove navigation bar shrubbery). But on this Little Compromise of a keyboard, I have to constantly recover from hitting an F-key/media with the toggle set to the wrong usage. Aarg! I am slowly learning to press the F/media key toggle, while watching my monitor for the brief flash that tells which mode it's in, then deciding whether to repress the F/media key toggle again, before trying to get either an F-key or a media key to perform some function. I'm Not loving that! I would REALLY prefer a keyboard set-up like the MS Ergonomic Pro 4000, but that is probably tied up in a patent, that MS won't release or reasonably license, but neither will they manufacture them anymore. Oh, you may still find one on eBay, used, for $300. Ugh. WARNING #3: The Microsoft context-sensitive menu pop-up key -- equivalent to the right mouse button -- of the MS EP4000, is missing. Replaced by a second key: "opt/ctrl". You'd think the driver software would let you program this key to do different things. I have not found how to make it act like the awesome key that it replaced (the Microsoft context-sensitive pop-up menu key). I'm still mourning the loss of that little key of wonder. Slows me way down to have to take hands off keyboard to fiddle around to right-mouse click every time.

• Premium build quality: Solid, high-end feel; slightly heavier than budget keyboards, giving a luxurious and durable impression. • Ergonomic design: Wide, pronounced curve reduces shoulder and wrist strain; encourages natural, open posture. • Key comfort: Height and layout feel great for both Windows and Mac users. • Better than cheap keyboards: The curve and overall design are noticeably superior; you can really see where the quality and factory level difference comes through. • Stable connection: No lag, even during long typing sessions. • Consider desk space: it’s big. Larger size may take some adjustment if used to smaller keyboards, but the comfort is worth it. Overall: If you want a premium ergonomic keyboard with excellent comfort and build quality, the Logitech Ergo K860 is a fantastic choice after I tried a few keyboards. This Logitech and APPLE Magic Keyboard are best so far.

Making the jump from a standard flat keyboard to a split ergonomic design is a significant transition. After experiencing some wrist fatigue, I decided to invest in the Logitech Ergo K860. At its current price point, it is definitely a premium investment. While it absolutely delivers on its promise of physical comfort, the out-of-the-box setup experience leaves a lot to be desired. Here is my detailed breakdown after spending some serious time typing on it: The Good: Ergonomics and Build Quality Exceptional Wrist Support: The pillowed wrist rest is the star of the show here. The memory foam is firm yet forgiving, and it naturally guides your hands into the correct posture. As you can see in the photos I’ve attached, the fabric has a premium look and doesn't seem to attract too much dust or sweat. Typing Feel: The "Perfect Stroke" scooped keys feel great. They provide a satisfying, quiet tactile response without the loud clack of a mechanical keyboard, making it perfect for a shared office or quiet home workspace. Adjustable Palm Lift: The built-in riser legs at the front of the keyboard (under the wrist rest) are a game-changer, especially if you use a standing desk. Being able to tilt the keyboard negatively (-4 or -7 degrees) keeps your wrists perfectly straight whether you are sitting or standing. The Catch: The Learning Curve and Missing Guide Where is the manual? This is my biggest frustration and the reason I am deducting a star. Transitioning to a split keyboard is already a massive change for muscle memory. However, Logitech provides almost no detailed physical guide in the box on how to configure the various function (Fn) buttons and special keys. Forced Internet Searching: To actually unlock the value of this keyboard and customize the buttons for your specific workflow, you have to go hunting online. For example, it isn't obvious that you need to press Fn + Esc to toggle between standard F-keys and media keys, or that holding Fn + O or Fn + P swaps the layout between Mac and Windows. Furthermore, to truly customize the keyboard, you have to search for and download the "Logi Options+" software. For a keyboard at this price point, a simple, comprehensive quick-start booklet explaining these shortcuts and the software should be standard. The Price: It is a bit expensive. While the hardware feels premium, the lack of a smooth, guided setup makes the high price tag sting just a little bit. The Verdict: If you are suffering from typing fatigue or wrist pain, the hardware of the Logitech Ergo K860 is absolutely fantastic and will likely help you. It is a very nice, high-quality keyboard. Just be prepared for a steep learning curve—not only in training your fingers to find the split keys, but also in spending time searching the internet to learn how to properly configure the function rows and software to get it working exactly the way you want it. I'm giving it a solid 4 stars. It is great, but not quite perfect right out of the box.

I'm in IT - I'm at a computer all day, every day. I had a boss early in my career who had severe carpal tunnel issues and he always preached ergonomics. Due to that I've been using an ergonomic keyboard for the last 17 years, specifically the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. That keyboard is no longer produced but I've loved it, it's held up well, and I've never had any issues with my wrists from typing all day. I recently got a new job and decided to upgrade my keyboard for the first time since 2007. The Logitech ERGO K860 came up in most searches for the best ergo keyboard in 2024 so I decided to give it a shot. I couldn't be happier with it. The shape and key placement is very similar to my beloved MSE 4000. They keys are much quieter and very pleasant to type on. I was a little concerned that the "scooped keys" in the product description would be deep divots like I've seen on some keyboards and don't care for, but I needn't have worried. These are just ever-so-slightly scooped, in a way that's barely noticeable until you focus on it, but enough that it does make a positive impact on typing. It's well constructed and feels like it'll hold up for a long time (we'll see if I can get another 17 years!). The wrist rest is really comfy, nice and wide, and not a material that seems like it will wear out or get gross over time. It connected easily to two laptops and my phone, one laptop with the USB receiver and the other two via Bluetooth. Typing is nice and responsive and I don't detect any delay with typing. I like that the function keys can be customized via the Logi Options+ app, although the default functions are pretty good right out of the box. I already had the Logi Options+ app for my MX Master 3 mouse (best mouse I've ever used!) but it wouldn't recognize the keyboard until I updated it to the latest version, not a big deal though. The only change I'd make to it is the batteries. It runs on two AAA batteries. That's fine I suppose, I do have rechargable AAAs I can use. I'd prefer that the keyboard be USB rechargeable like the MX Master 3 mouse - charge it once every few months and then don't worry about it. Now when the batteries on this keyboard run low I'll have to go searching for batteries to replace them instead of just plugging it in for a bit. Not my favorite, but it's not huge deal. Overall incredibly happy with this keyboard! It's definitely a good successor to my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000!

I’ve used various Microsoft ergo keyboards over the last 20 years at the office and needed one when started WFH with my own equipment a few years ago. I have this and also use the logi MX Master 3 mouse. Reading thru the 1-star reviews, I wanted to chime in with a five-star. First off: Ergonomic keyboards take some getting used to. My hands tend to figure it out fine after a week or two. Might take you longer. It also might take you trying a keyboard and returning it to try another if it just doesn’t work well for you. Second: Ease across multiple laptops —> I often am working off BOTH a mac and MS laptop with one connected to a huge widescreen monitor and the other on the side (depends on the work). The Logi Options app that some folks complain about IS FABULOUS. It has a “flow” function that works well when you use both a Logitech mouse and Logitech keyboard - it allows you to move your mouse from one screen to another across your two laptops (yes, even from Mac to a windows laptop) and the mouse and keyboard will automatically recognize your are switching laptops and, thru the magic of software, you are then working on the other laptop. You read that right. Google it if you want more info and more real-life ways folks use this keyboard/mouse combo with the Logitech Flow function to make their life easier working across both a Mac and windows machine. With the flow function set up (both laptops need the app installed and you need to turn it on for both - sometimes again if one goes to sleep… ), you can even copy and paste from one to the other (from the mouse, not keyboard shortcuts… but this is still worth it). Third: Both this keyboard and the MX Master 3 mouse have physical buttons you can pair to up to three different laptops. You literally just push the button (one on mouse, one on keyboard) and - poof!!!! - you are now working on the other laptop. Fourth: The keyboard is labeled for both Mac and windows control/option/command/alt keys. For folks who are heavy keyboard shortcut users (but maybe know either Mac or windows key combos a little better than the other), this is fabulous. Fifth: If you want to program this keyboard to do special stuff, it does it without issue. The Logi Options app walks you thru it. Likewise for the MX Master 3 mouse. I use both this keyboard and mouse hard. I also travel with them (picked up a pair of third-party molded cases for them). I am starting to wear some of the letters off of the keyboard but other than that, both seem to be holding up. For folks also reading thru the one-star reviews of complaints that this keyboard doesn’t do this one special thing that their old favorite keyboard used to do - ok, that’s probably true. For 99.9% of buyers, this keyboard will do great if the buyer takes the time to read thru the guidance provided in the app and/or take a moment to google what it is they are trying to do. For folks who have an old keyboard with programmable functions that they want to ensure this new one does too - might be worth it to jump in and ask a question to other users to see if this does that special thing you really like. Regarding the price - if you work 4-12 hours a day at a computer, the price of this is pretty cheap compared to physical therapy and possible surgery needed from poor ergonomics. Try different keyboards, mice, chair/stool/desk setups until you figure out your ideal setup. Your wrists will thank you later. Pro-tip - The little feet under this keyboard dip out to control the tilt at two additional different heights (so, three height positions total), which might be the adjustment you are looking for if you are trying to get a certain ergonomic alignment. Five stars. Would recommend.

I ordered this keyboard on March 5, 2024, and now in February 2026 several keys have stopped working. The “F” key no longer works, some Shift combinations fail, and parts of the numeric keypad are unreliable. While it lasted, the keyboard was excellent. The ergonomic design and wrist rest are very comfortable for daily work, and typing feels natural. It really helped reduce strain during long work sessions. Unfortunately, the durability is disappointing for a keyboard in this price range. I tried cleaning it and even used electronic contact cleaner, but the problem did not improve. If durability is not a concern for you and you’re willing to replace it within a couple of years, this is a 5-star product. Otherwise, you may want to consider something more reliable.
