Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard with Wrist Rest – Split Keyboard Layout for Windows/Mac, Bluetooth or USB Connectivity (Renewed)

Excellent Choice! Easy Adjustment to use.
I bought this K860 as an Amazon renewed keyboard and was really impressed by its flawless condition minus the original box. At a pretty good discount, this was a great deal.Setup on my MacBook Air was as easy as selecting it in Bluetooth settings. I’m 72 and my wrists were sore after typing on my Apple keyboard, and was wondering if I could retrain my hands and fingers to use this ergonomic keyboard. I tried it flat on my desk as well as using the front legs to give it a slight tilt towards the rear. Found out that was my most comfortable position for me while typing.So far I’m 100% happy with it, and knowing how much more affordable it was as an Amazon Renewable purchase was very rewarding as well. I procrastinated buying the K860 for years and am so happy that I finally took the opportunity to buy and use it.Hope this review helps you in finding the perfect keyboard for yourself. Ciao….

Best Keyboard I’ve Ever Owned!
I loved this keyboard so much that I bought one for both work and home! The ergonomic design makes typing so much more comfortable, especially during long hours. My wrists and hands feel so much better since switching to the K860. It’s incredibly well-built, responsive, and looks sleek on any desk. Hands down, the best keyboard I’ve ever had.

Best of the best
I bought this keyboard for work. It is the best and proudest purchase I have ever gotten for myself. I do not use it to its full capacity though. I use it on a work computer and I can use it as plug and play and not allowed to add software for certain button customizations. I still love it. Keys are quiet which is important considering my attitude depends the amount of pressure I tap those keys. Keys are smooth and nice to touch. The wrist rest is not too low and not too high. Easy to wipe. Battery life is amazing!! I started using this August of 2023 and it’s on the same battery!! (Now that I’ve said something though I’m sure I’ll have to change batteries soon. This is due to my luck.) I did not have a lot of adjustment when I switched to this keyboard other then the backspace was a hair to the right which threw me off a little but got use to it quickly.

CRAMPED
The lower rating is because the keys on this keyboard are very cramped (as if on a tight laptop keyboard) and there isn’t enough tactile markers to feel where you are. It has the normal locator bumps ‘f’ and ‘j’ keys, however I’m constantly confusing the function keys with the number keys because they are so close together, and confusing the ” key for the Enter key because the Enter key is lower relative to the home-row than every other keyboard.Even though there are a lot of awesome positives on this keyboard, it fails on its main use — being an ergonomic keyboard that I can type efficiently on. So it just isn’t worth it. I keep trying to use it for a few weeks to ‘relearn’ to this, but it’s just too cramped and I become inefficient by need to re-correct typing mistakes and occasionally sending texts prematurely because of the ‘Enter’ key location.CONs- Cramped- ‘Enter’ and ‘Caps Lock’ columns don’t follow the orientation of the split-keyboard, causing one to need to rotate the hands to use them — removing the ergonomic intention of the keyboard on high-use keys. It would be fine if this keyboard was another inch taller to fix this major issue (this is the same kind of design blindness as putting the taskbar at the bottom or top of the screen when everyone has WIDE screens with not enough height real-estate on the screen, but plenty of side-to side real-estate).- Not enough tactile indicators of which keys are which. They should add a bump on the Enter and the ‘1’ and ‘0’ keys.- Keys feel hair-trigger, they have almost no action to them – feels like a laptop keyboard. I get the “don’t feel like a mechanical typewriter” to put less stress on the hands, however this is too far the other way.PROs- The arrow keys and other navigation keys (home, page-up, End, delete) are standard layout. Comfortable for heavy use and no relearning.- Wireless works well- 3 device memory switch. (each can be dongle or Bluetooth)- Connects to unifying dongle or Bluetooth- Unifying dongle lets you connect a few keyboards and a few mice to one dongle (if they are Logi unifying mice/keyboards).- Footprint is less-width than standard keyboard so fits on keyboard trays better.

A well-designed keyboard, well-sized and highly functional. It feels well-designed and well-built. It was easy to connect to my PC and easy to manage via the Logi Options+ app, which I also use to manage a Logi mouse.The wrist rest is nice, and I think it will help address the numbness issues I encounter during long work sessions. I’m using it on a sit-and-stand desk and will fine-tune the height to get things dialled in right, but in the meantime, it’s working well. This keyboard features riser tabs, but they are located on the front of the keyboard, not on the back, where you would typically expect them. This is a first for me, and I have to say I rather like it. It’s putting my arm and wrists in a more neutral position, and when coupled with the sit-stand desk at the right height, it’s a great ergonomically-friendly combination.You can program a number of the function keys via the Logi Options+ app, something I’ve done with the mouse; this can be a huge time/keystroke saver for repetitive work. You can also enable the top row to be either F-keys or media keys, which means you don’t have to push the function key along with the F-key that you want to use.In case you’re wondering, no, this keyboard is not backlit. More importantly, it has raised lines on the home keys, and as a touch typist, this is all I need. I don’t look at the keyboard, and don’t need it to be backlit. To be honest, I would find it distracting and annoying. Yes, the Caps Lock key has a tiny light on it.Between writing for my PhD and my day job, I type for 10+ hours a day, which is why I opted for the ergonomic layout. I think this will be an excellent keyboard to work with.This is an excellent keyboard and well worth the price. I would highly recommend it for someone who can touch-type, doesn’t mind non-backlit keys, wants the enhanced functionality of programmable keys, and wants a well-designed ergonomic typing experience.

Keyboard (8/10)PROS:- Logitech unifying receiver (works with my MX Master 2s)- Comfortable to type on, removes pressure off my wrists- Typing experience (Not too different from a conventional keyboard)CONS:- For my uses, I would have preferred a tenkeyless design but at this price range, there isn’t really much choice- The Fn key, would have preferred it be on the left side and not on the right sideRefurbishing Process (6/10)My keyboard was missing the battery cover, meaning the batteries might fall out during transport and I can’t put the USB dongle within the keyboard for transport purposes.Otherwise, the packaging and product itself were fine. No signs of use.

Love how it fits with larger hands. Only issue it takes time to get use to it and the backspace button is my weakness always pressing wrong one. Have it set up on my multiport docking so any laptop I connect this works with ideal for home office/work office to leave there.
