Logitech Ergo K860 Review

Logitech Ergo K860: split layout, cushioned wrist rest. The split keyboard that does not ask you to relearn typing

Verdicts here are built from published testing, real owner reports and spec sheets, not our own hands-on use. See how we judge →

Verdict: Buy. The K860 already tops our ergonomic keyboards and mice roundup as the best overall pick, and a closer look at the specs and the review record backs that up. A curved, split key layout, a full-size wrist rest, and a feature set that has barely changed since launch because it has not needed to. This verdict is built from RTINGS’ published testing, PC Gamer and PCWorld’s hands-on coverage, and the pattern across more than 6,600 verified owner ratings, not from an in-house test bench.

What it actually does well

  • Split, tented layout: the key well breaks into two angled halves with the center raised (tenting) and fold-out legs that drop the front edge -4° or -7°, the reverse of a standard keyboard’s rear-tilt. RTINGS’ measurements confirm the geometry; PC Gamer credits the wrist rest built around it as one of the most comfortable in the category.
  • Full-size layout, no compromises: 110 keys including a full number pad, so nothing gets cut to make room for the ergonomic shape, unlike most compact split boards.
  • Dual wireless: pairs over Bluetooth or a USB receiver and switches between paired devices.
  • Owner track record: more than 6,600 Amazon ratings averaging 4.6 out of 5, a large enough sample to trust the pattern rather than a handful of cherry-picked reviews.
  • List price around $130, though it has been seen on sale closer to $90 (per our roundup).

Where it is not the best option

There is no backlighting at this price point, which is a real miss for a $130 keyboard. It is also a full-size board, so the split shape does not save desk space the way a compact split keyboard does; measure your desk before ordering. And the split itself takes a real adjustment period. PCWorld and PC Gamer both note a settling-in window before typing speed returns to normal, which lines up with what every published review of a split keyboard says about the category generally.

Who should buy this

Anyone whose wrist or forearm pain traces to a standard flat keyboard, per Question 1 in our buying guide. The K860 is the lower-commitment ergonomic option: still one keyboard, still fits a normal desk, with genuine wrist-angle correction, versus a fully split board like the MoErgo Glove80 that asks for more desk space and a longer learning curve.

Who should skip it

If desk space is tight, the K860’s full-size footprint is the wrong shape; a compact curved keyboard fits better. If per-key backlighting matters for a dim workspace, look elsewhere at this price. And if a standard keyboard has never caused discomfort, there is no need to fix what is not broken, save the money.

Frequently asked questions

Is a split keyboard hard to learn?
If you already touch type, the adjustment is usually a few days. If you type with a hunt and peck style, a split layout is genuinely harder, because it removes the ability to reach across the middle with the wrong hand. That is worth knowing before you buy.
Does it work with a Mac?
Yes. The Logitech Ergo K860 supports macOS alongside Windows, though some key legends follow the Windows layout. Check the current compatibility list on the manufacturer spec sheet before purchase.
Do I need the matching wrist rest?
It is built in on this model rather than sold separately. The integrated cushion is a large part of what the keyboard is doing ergonomically, so it is not an optional extra here.
