Customer ReviewsRated This keyboard provides great value. A normal keyboard is not very comfortable for me. I bought and returned a different well-known keyboard because its size and action was not what I was looking for. This is much better than I could have imagined. It feels natural to type on without having to adjust. I haven't yet explored all of the features, but everything I need is here. As usual, Logitech has performed a great engineering job and provided a versatile product. Rated Cramped keys, bad for large hands, stupid home/end/del key layout. The keys are placed too closely together. If you have medium/large hands, you'll likely feel cramped when using this keyboard. The island of home/del/end/ins/page up/page down keys are rearranged so as to be incompatible with the normal qwerty keyboard layout. The delete key is large and easy to hit, but you'll constantly hit Home when you meant to hit Insert. VERY annoying. The feel of the keys is soft and the tactile response is weak. The keys do make a bit of noise, but not much. The wave design feels more ergonomic than the standard keyboard but it's not clear if this dipped / concave shape is more ergonomic than Microsoft's raised shape. Kinesis uses the dipped layout, so it must be worth something ergonomically. If you're a fan of the Microsoft Ergonomic line of keyboards such as the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, you'll be very disappointed with the Logitech Wave. Rated Overall, this is a wonderful keyboard - great feel, decent amount of function keys. But why do keyboard makers feel the need to mess with the keyboard layout that everyone has been comfortable with for decades? The odd grouping of F keys means I hit F4 when I'm trying to refresh, and while the big delete key is nice, the reconfiguring of it's block makes home, end, pgup, and pgdn hard to find. Also, since it is a USB keyboard, it would be nice to have a USB port or two on the keyboard to plug a mouse into. Many USB keyboards have this, and with the high-ish price level, it would be expected. Rated I got this keyboard so I could use my Macbook Pro in a more ergonomic set up and absolutely love it! I had some concerns on getting this because many reviews from mac users complained about having issues with finding and installing the drivers. However, Logitech must have worked out all the bugs (esp. for Snow Leopard) because after a quick install everything is working great. The one complaint I share with other Mac users is that Logitech does not link to the mac driver from their product page, but just do a search for "logitech control center mac" and you'll find it. As for the keyboard itself, here's my list of pros and cons: Pros: -subtle curve and wave adds extra comfort without a huge learning curve -comfy built in wrist rest -adjustable legs for customizable tilt -programmable function keys (icons are from Windows, but they map perfectly to their Mac counterparts, or anything else you want) -silver keys (also reprogrammable) for expose, zoom, dashboard, and media -volume and iTunes (or whatever music program) playback controls Cons: -not truly ergonomic--the curve is very subtle. I like it, but others may find it too flat or want a keyboard that's actually split -Function key is on the opposite side than the Macbook Pro keyboard--takes some getting used to -for some reason the default dashboard mapping doesn't work, so I ended up remapping it to just open the application. works fine, but now I have to use the mouse rather than the button to close it. The cons are really only minor annoyances, if even that. Overall, great keyboard. I'm really glad to find one with so many functions that works so well with my mac. Rated suffering from pain on my hand most of time due to exess typing at work, this keyboard shape and easy key use has bring some confort to this pain easing it out plus short cut keys makes it faster to access applications since I do not like to use the mouse at all times Similar Products
