Desktop Computer Review: Logitech Wave Keyboard Review

Logitech's Wave is a unique keyboard that will be appreciated by many.It's a great new design for those who want something less extreme than full split designs but something more firm than the standard keyboard.With this product Logitech adds to it's line-up of high quality computer peripherals.

Pros
+ Integrated wrist cushion - comfy and convenient!
+ Keys are shaped to be closer to your smaller fingers - Less hand movement
+ Integrated number pad in a relatively sleek form factor
+ Quiet key action that seems smoother than others I've had
+ Vista key shortcuts work nice!
+ Programmable smart keys

Cons
- Corded design, unlike the Wireless Wave Combo set
- Key design takes some getting used to
- May not be enough separation for those who prefer full split ergonomic designs
- Somewhat buggy Logitech software with sleeper (spyware) processes

The design of the keyboard is nice and sturdy, and the additional number pad is a nice feature. The wave shape is REALLY nice, with nice sized keys and many extras. This is a great ambidextrous keyboard that can be used well by lefties and righties. The integrated keyboard wrist pad is nice and comfortable, and the design gives you one less thing you have to have on your desk.

I have actually come to prefer this to the split keyboard design after using it for a period of months. I can move my hands less and let my fingers touch the keys.As a result, my typing speed has actually improved slightly.

Many simply need the ergonomics of a split keyboard or other design. Try to test it out, but keep in mind it will take time to get used to.I've had mixed results with split keyboards in this price range, but there are some nice options.

For those who demand a wireless keyboard, Logitech has released a nice combo set including a wireless version of this keyboard and a mouse.I own that set for a different computer, although I am now using a different mouse with it.

Also, check for price changes.The price tends to fluctuate a lot.

Overall, this keyboard is well worth looking into. Enjoy!
