Is the Logitech Ergo K860 Split Ergonomic Keyboard worth it?
Yes — if you have wrist or arm pain.
Its curved, split layout keeps your wrists straight, the padded palm rest supports them and legs at the front tilt it away from you. Typing on it is quiet and comfortable, it connects to three devices with the included receiver or Bluetooth, and two AAA batteries last up to two years. The split layout takes days to weeks to learn, it's big at 1.16 kg with a fixed number pad and palm rest, and it has no backlight.

How we reached this verdict
RTINGS picks it as its main ergonomic keyboard for its amazing ergonomic design and great typing, though the odd layout takes time to get used to. Engadget names it the best wireless ergonomic keyboard. TechRadar and Expert Reviews give it 4/5; Expert Reviews notes the fixed number pad and the missing backlight, and Tom's Guide's tester typed far slower for the first few days.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
