The Logitech ERGO K860 is a nice ergonomic keyboard with a curved design. While this type of layout might take some time to get used to, it reduces wrist strain and is very comfortable to type on once you get it right. The board is well-built and features negative angled feet as well. It features typical scissor switches, which are very similar to the Apple Magic Keyboard 2017 or the Logitech MX Keys.
Our Verdict
The Logitech ERGO K860 is inadequate for gaming. While its scissor switches have a low actuation force and short pre-travel, they have a considerable tactile bump to overcome before actuation, and the latency is high and generally inconsistent.
- Amazing ergonomic design.
- Great typing quality.
- Odd layout can take some time to get used to.
- No backlighting.
- Latency too high for gaming.
- No macro-programmable keys.
The Logitech K860 is an excellent ergonomic keyboard for the office. If you find yourself having a lot of wrist pain, a curved board with a negative angle can help. The typing noise is also kept to a minimum, so you won't bother people around you. It might take some time to get used to the key layout, but it's quite efficient once you get it down.
- Amazing ergonomic design.
- Great typing quality.
- Exceptional wireless compatibility.
- Odd layout can take some time to get used to.
While the Logitech ERGO K860 can be connected to mobile devices via Bluetooth, the board is very large and heavy, which doesn't make for a very travel-friendly keyboard. Its curved design might be a bit hard to fit in a backpack, but if you bring it around separately, it can be very useful.
- Amazing ergonomic design.
- Great typing quality.
- Exceptional wireless compatibility.
- Odd layout can take some time to get used to.
- Large size.
The Logitech ERGO K860 is just an okay programming keyboard. You can't set any macros and the board doesn't have any backlighting. On the upside, it provides a great typing experience and has an excellent ergonomic design.

The Logitech ERGO K860 is inadequate for use with a home theater PC. It has wireless connectivity so that you don't have a cable running from the couch to the computer. However, there's no trackpad to navigate the user interface. Also, it lacks backlighting, making it hard to see the keys in the dark.

- No backlighting.
- Large size.
- No trackpad.
While perfectly suitable for everyday browsing or work, the Logitech ERGO K860 has inadequate raw performance for gaming. Overall, it has adequate single-key latency but has disappointing multi-key latency, lacks n-key rollover, and its low effective update rate of 250Hz acts as a bottleneck for its polling rate of 500Hz.
- Amazing ergonomic design.
- Great typing quality.
- Odd layout can take some time to get used to.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Logitech K860 is an ergonomic wireless curved keyboard that aims to reduce wrist strain during long typing periods. It's very comfortable to type on, but its split layout might take a while to get used to. For other options, check out our recommendations for the best wireless keyboards, the best keyboards for writers, and the best ergonomic keyboards.
The Logitech ERGO K860 and the Logitech Wave Keys are full-size keyboards with ergonomic designs. Both have curved key layouts that tent slightly toward the middle. Additionally, both models have integrated palm rests. The ERGO K860 is larger, and its keys are more widely spaced. It also has a split key cluster design, with more distinct spacing between the left and right key clusters, and it uses low-profile, scissor switches that are a bit heavier-feeling and have a more noticeable tactile bump. Comparatively, the Wave Keys is a more compact design with more closely spaced keys. It also has more lightweight-feeling rubber dome switches.
The Logitech ERGO K860 and the Logitech MX Keys are very different. The K860 is a split keyboard that includes a fixed wrist rest, while the MX Keys has a straight board design. Both keyboards have wireless connectivity and multi-device pairing, but only the MX Keys has backlighting. They both provide a great typing experience; however, the K860's keys require a bit more force to actuate, and it might take longer to get used to its split layout.
The Kinesis Freestyle Pro is a very different ergonomic keyboard than the Logitech ERGO K860. The Logitech features a curved board design, while the Kinesis is a fully split keyboard. The Logitech features scissor switches, while the Kinesis has Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches. Also, the Logitech is a full-size board, while the Kinesis is a TKL 80%. The Logitech is wireless, and the Kinesis is wired-only.
The Logitech ERGO K860 is a better ergonomic keyboard for the office than the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. It has negative incline settings, while the Kinesis doesn't have any unless you buy accessories separately. However, the Edge has mechanical switches and RGB lighting, which some may like.
