Our Verdict

Logitech ERGO K860

Logitech Wave Keys

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.

    Having used both keyboards I can say with certainty that the Logi Waves keyboard is a quieter and sturdier keyboard. I have owned two Logi K860 keyboards over the span of 2 years and both have had quality issues that make me hesitate to recommend it. My first one had keys randomly break off, and my second one’s feet broke off after a year of use. For some reason, the plastics in the Logi K860 just don’t seem to be as sturdy as other Logi products. While the Logi Waves keyboard isn’t as tactile or satisfying feeling to type on, I have had no build quality issues since owning. It’s also better for office use than the Logi K860, because typing is significantly quieter. I’m not as fond of the layout of the Logi Waves key layout as it does feel a bit cramped compared to the Logi K860, but this isn’t significant enough to keep me from using it.

    Hey CarterGullickson, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with these keyboards!

    Best wishes.
