Not All That Different [Posted on 2008-10-15]
Using this keyboard, it's not particularly different than a normal keyboard. Probably slightly more ergonomic than a laptop keyboard, but it's a minimal improvement. However, it does function well, the shortcut buttons are nice, and there's a nice tension in the keys. Overall nothing revolutionary, but nice.
NO USB Ports! [Posted on 2008-11-01]
Nice! Feels much much better right away. So far I like it very much comfort-wise. I have CTS and gamer's thumb so this is very important to me. Got the wired version so 'cause I'm tired of battery eaters--but there's no USB port. What the heck? The Mac keyboard thrashed my wrist, but at least it had 2 ports on it. I wanna recharge hybrid batteries and have a place to plug in my 3D Connexion but it's a no-go w/o a hub, I guess. Sorry to complain, but a keyboard this cool should have ports.
Happy with wave [Posted on 2008-11-11]
Recently purchased Logitech wave keyboard/mouse combo. Have had it about a week now. So far so good.
I have had lousy luck with wireless keyboards in work environment where there seems to be lots of interference. Also, have had problems with keyboards and mice sucking the energy out of the batteries in a week or less. I'm happy to say this keyboard and mouse seem to be working well. (Juries still a little out on the battery thing - but haven't read any reviews that make me think I'm likely to have the problem.)
The keyboard is comfortable. There is some minor adjustment from using a standard keyboard - I'm mistyping numbers a bit when using the top row. It's not as much of an adjustment as the split ergonomic keyboards however.
The mouse works well - easily adjusted to it. My one comment (not even a complaint really) is that I'm going to have to retrain my ring finger not to drape over the "forward" button off to the right-hand side - I keep inadvertantly forwarding thru web pages and e-mail - very confusing at first. You have to keep your index, middle and ring finger on top of the mouse. The forward & back buttons are *very* sensitive.
Transmitter has gone from big bulky corded half dome to a little thing that looks like a memory pen - plugs directly into USB port. The combo comes with a USB extension cord too, if that's more convenient for you. I ended up using my USB extension for my memory pen instead of the transmitter - works great.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase. To date, this is the best wireless keyboard/mouse combo I've bought.
Great contoured keyboard! [Posted on 2008-11-19]
This ergonomically styled keyboard is a dream come true!! Not only does it help alleviate the stress of keyboarding throughout the day, its style of contours allows those who typically use a regular keyboard to be instantly efficient. Although this is being used for my work office, it was well worth the purchase using my own funds! Great product. Highly recommended. Logitech makes wonderful keyboard and mouse products
Comfort, and ease of use. Very nice on the fingers, I LOVE IT [Posted on 2008-11-21]
I recently bought me a new desktop (MacPro) which comes with a flat keyboard.
The problem with that keyboard is it provides no support, you get no wrist support, nothing. The keys do not feel so good (atleast compared to the Wave), and when I started working on writing a book, my wrists really started hurting due to the pressure put on my wrists.
I wanted to get a comfortable keyboard, one that I could type on for several hours in comfort. I wanted it to work on the Mac, and I wanted it to look pretty cool.
I did not want a split keyboard design like the ones microsoft makes. My previous keyboard was more expensive, a saitek eclipse II. That was a nice keyboard, but even it does not compare to the comfort brought forth by this keyboard.
The design of the keyboard, (as the name suggests) is a "wave" its like you sat the keyboard outside with something in the middle, and the 2 sides next to it sunk in and melted.
If your thinking your keyboarding might be hampered or slowed down by the switch, I assure you it will not. I did have a few problems at first making a "jump" around my T's and Y's, and sometimes it is a bit difficult to get used to not having either a "windows" or "command" key on the bottom right side, but other than that, this keyboard is everything you want, everything you enjoy, but better.
The wrist guard is very nice, very smooth, and does not irritate my skin. They keys are perfect, and have this amazing feel to them, I forgot what it was like to have such a nice keyboard.
Logitech has really impressed me with this keyboard. I honestly expected I would be returning this keyboard when I got it, as I thought it was going to be too awkward, but I thought I would give it a try anyway, and I'm glad I did.
To recap, this is a wonderful keyboard, it is not as bloated as other Logitech keyboards, each key is very comfortable. The "wave" feature does make life easier (so does being able to adjust the keyboard height to varying levels). The keyboard works perfectly out of the box on my mac, using itunes, and everything.
I highly recommend this keyboard, and hope you "take a chance" like I did when I bought it. Amazons customer service is very accommodating.
5 stars all the way.
