Wave Key Design
Envelop your hands in a gentle wave with different key heights that conform naturally to the shape of your fingers for exceptional comfort
Constant Curve
This U-shaped curve gently guides your hands and wrists into a more open, naturally aligned position, making you more comfortable no matter how much or how little you type. And since all the letter keys are still the same size and distance apart, you won't have to re-learn typing on a different keyboard layout.
Countoured palm rest
The cushioned, soft surface encourages a relaxed position for long typing sessions.

Customer Reviews
Better than it's more expensive brother.
Hi. I just got my Wave keyboard and I'm extremely impressed. I've been struggling with a G15 for two months and just couldn't get on with it. The keys seemed to be leftward leaning and I kept pressing the one to the right-t instead of y for example.
The Wave is just perfect and the keys seem to be ideally laid out for me.
Perhaps I should point out that I'm not a touch typist. In fact I'm a rubbbish typist but I learnt my hunt and peck technique on a, now defunct, MS Natural so perhaps that's why I like this. It feels even better in terms of ergonomics,it's not so extreme.
Another pro for the Wave is the build quality. The whole chassis feels substantial and the finish and plastics used make it look really good.
In fact it looks and feels a more expensive product than the G15 which is odd considering that's Logitech's Gaming flagship.
I'd recommend this to anyone and I don't think it too dramatically different from a straight keyboard for someone used to one of those to get used to.

Not bad at all
This is a fair sized keyboard with quite a high (though nicely padded) wrist rest. It has a good solid feel to it and the keys have a nice smooth action.
If you have a recent system, then this keyboard will work right out of the box. You just need to ensure you turn the USB Keyboard option on in the BIOS. If you want the bells and whistles, then you will need to install drivers. These seem fairly stable, or at least mine does.
The centre keys are a little raised compared to the others, and this takes a little while to get used to. The keys don't have the radical position that some of the Microsoft keyboards do and this does make the device much easier to use.
The application keys can be programmed for almost any action (I have the sleep button set to shut down the PC), which is pretty standard on this type of keyboard, and is very easy to set up.
In conclusion, this is a perfectly adequate keyboard, with above average quality of construction. I'll be using this for a fair while yet.
Great Keyboard
Thsi is a terrific product. Apart from the obviously great look, it is also practical and easy to use. And I say this a guy used to using a 'split' keyboard. My friends used to hate using my PC as the split keyboard foxed them everytime. But I dislike 'straight' keyboards. I bought the Logitech Wave as a kind of hopeful compromise (and because my old Trust split keyboard was wearing out!)
The good news is that the compromise worked! I am happy with the curve of the Wave, and because all the keys are together regular keyboard users can use it easily. in fact many have showered it with compliments, for comfort, ease of use, and of course, its lovely looks too!
Compared to Microsofts over-priced keyboard offering, this is a more than viable (and, if you have straight keyboard user friends) superior offering. And like all logitech equipemt that I have ever had, it works with no hitches straight out of the box. In short, I highly recommend this keyboard.
