Corsair Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard - Split Keyboard, Wrist Rest, Natural Typing, Stain-Resistant Fabric, Bluetooth and USB Connectivity, Compatible with Windows/Mac, Black

Although I've had a number of Logitech mice over the years, this is the first Logitech keyboard that I can recall ever buying for myself. It's replacing a Microsoft Sculpt wireless keyboard that I really liked. I loved the simplicity of the Sculpt and have been used to that split design after many years with MS's natural keyboards. Logitech, for as long as I can recall, has never had a good competitor in that basic, split layout ergo space. They've always had something like the K350 that was sort of a warped or stretched layout but wasn't much different from a normal, if a bit distorted layout. And that one always seemed a bit cheap and clunky. I think it's safe to say the K860 finally fills that gap. And so far it seems to be doing it well. I think there is a little bit of a difference in the spacing from one side to the other when comparing to the Sculpt but the overall layout is basically the same. So while I'm still getting a feel for where the differences are between the two (delete key, number pad, pg up/down, etc), the overall transition is easy. The Good Keys are comfortable and quiet. I'm far from a keyboard expert or connoisseur, but the typing action is fine (if not a tad firm). I do tend to only use the left side of the spacebar and I think that particular key makes a little more noise than the others - but otherwise it's pretty quiet. I also like having a number pad again (the Sculpt has a separate/external one which I usually kept in a drawer). Actual ergonomic feet. I'm happy to see that they got the feet in the right place for actual improved ergonomics. The lower of the two feet settings feels about right to me when comparing to what I'm used to with the Sculpt (I did use the riser on the Sculpt for max comfort) - but I like that there are two options and might try the taller one just to see if I notice a difference. There's a power switch. It seems dumb, but I like that there's actually a power switch. This will be handy when I want to give it a quick wipe down and cleaning. MS's Sculpt did not have one and that just meant I had to pull the batteries or turn off my laptop if I wanted to clean it. Not the worst but not exactly convenient. Dual connection methods. Just like my M720 mouse, I like that there's a USB receiver and it can do Bluetooth (and multi-device BT even!). I like using BT on my own computer to keep USB ports free but it's nice to be able to pull the receiver out if I'm working on another system temporarily. The Meh Palm rest is not as fancy as it looks. The palm rest is comfortable but I was surprised there isn't really a texture to it. It's just a pattern on the material made to look like a texture. It's otherwise just as smooth as any other palm rest I've used. From the images, I expected maybe it would be some sort of microfiber or other soft textile. I am also surprised that the palm rest doesn't detach from the keyboard. It kind of looked like it would from the photos but it's all one piece. It's fine though, since I'd probably only ever use it with it attached - it just gave that impression from the design. Feet are a little too rubbery? While I appreciate grippy feet to keep things in place, I tend to push my keyboard around my desk during the day depending on what else I'm working on and these feet are pretty grippy out of the box. Though that honestly might be a plus for a lot of other people. I've only been using it for a short time, so I don't really have any negatives to put into this - but I'll update if anything comes up. Otherwise it's nice to see Logitech finally making a decent, modern, split layout keyboard.

I have finally found it! I have been using Microsoft’s wireless keyboard 7000 for years and have bought so many replacements for frozen keys, non reactive keys etc. I even stocked up when I could find decently priced ones on eBay. Every other style that I bought that claimed to be ergonomic was an epic fail until now. Getting tired of repainting letters on my existing Microsoft 7000, I saw a Logitech one at Staples and thought maybe. But after getting it home and finding my wrists bumping and bent because the layout was too straight, I decided to look here. I read review after review, looked at the pictures and thought, why not? I couldn’t be any more happier with this purchase! Right out of the box I liked the feel and look of it but was concerned about the height of the keys themselves as I’ve never really like laptop keyboards and liked to hear the “click” of they key. But after a week of use, I am ecstatic with this keyboard. I have found a new favorite. Granted the test of time isn’t met yet, but so far it is great. I am so glad i took the chance with it. I had both of my wrists for carpal tunnel repaired a few years ago and the layout of the true ergonomic keyboard was a must. I can’t type with any other. i give this 5 stars without hesitation! Possibly it’s a bit high in price, but when you need it and must have it, you’ll pay for it. If you look at pricing for the classic Microsoft 7000 then you’ll see what demand can charge for popularity. The more I use it, the more I love it. If you’re not a must have user of the split style keyboard, you probably won’t like this. But for those of you out there that do, I don’t think you will be disappointed. Thank you Logitech for having this unit. I wish I had found this long ago. MAY 28, 2020 update: I have used this keyboard for a few months now and still maintain that it is a great replacement for the old Microsoft 4000 or 7000 (un-wired). Over time I have noticed that I have an issue with my right hand wanting to go just a bit more to the right so I am off a key or I reach to back space and am hitting the print screen button. The J key does have it's marker so I know it's the home key by touch, but my initial reach is wider and I start tying and then realize I put my hand down incorrectly. That coupled with the Dash Key (-) on the Keypad having the logoff button right above it has makes me logoff up to several times a workday. So I am looking around for another suitable unit. Don't get me wrong, I think most of you will love the layout of this keyboard and like it very much. It's just problematic for "me". So don't hesitate, but if you have the so called "fat fingers" you might have the same issues I am having. I still give this keyboard a "5" as it is a great keyboard but just a bit too short for my liking. After using this for awhile I still haven't been able to retrain my position. The logoff key is the most problematic issue for me as I over-reach the dash key on the keypad A LOT. I use the keypad all the time so that one key is just in the way for me. Being logged off is irritating. However, I did get used to the low profile of the keys and the typing is very soft and fluid. Had the keyboard been .5 to 1" wider where the keys could have been a bit larger, it would have not felt so pinched and I probably wouldn't have the right hand issues I am having. It's still a great keyboard. In the absence of another one with a better layout, I will still continue using this one.

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 now been using this keyboard everyday for a few months and I'm really liking it. It's comfortable to type on, has a good layout and pretty easy to keep clean. I like the dedicated "lock" button and use it often. I love that I can connect it several devices (two bluetooth and one USB dongle) and have it joined to my main laptop and my iPhone. When I'm at my desk and I want to reply to something on my phone quickly, I unlock it, push a button on my keyboard, and am typing. Several times I've forgotten that I switched it and have been wondering why nothing is happening on my laptop... quick button tap and back to work. My wife had to borrow my laptop for a project and I popped onto an old machine by just plugging in the USB dongle and switching over to it. When she was done, right back to my setup with no fuss. That said, the Logitech config software is complete garbage on OSX. Before I upgraded the OS (to Catalina) I could set up the hotkeys and function keys as needed, but about once every week the keyboard would become unrecognized - I'd have to rejoin the keyboard with the laptop and set up the keyboard as if it were a completely new device ... every ... damn ... time. So I got used to just leaving settings at their default. After upgrading the OS the Logitech config no longer recognizes the keyboard at all and I can't set any of the config settings anyway - but at least it stopped forgetting the keyboard weekly. If the software worked and I could actually configure the extra buttons the way I'd prefer, I'd give this 5 stars. Just prior to writing this review I downloaded the latest version and tried to set it up again, but now it just crashes without doing anything. If you're hoping to customize the keyboard and, like me, you've got a newish Macbook pro, forget it. Therefore, it's good that the default settings are pretty reasonable and the device is great mechanically.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this keyboard! Bought one for work AND for home. It's quiet, it's low-profile but most important it's COMFORTABLE while typing! It's the most natural fit for your wrists, the hand rest that is part of the keyboard is supportive but not squishy. #1 keyboard on the market IMO.
