Editorial Review: Product Description: A revolutionary advance in keyboard design, the Logitech Wave key design instinctively guides your hands into a natural position for enhanced comfort and productivity. The cushioned palm rest provides extra support and can help reduce fatigue, and one-touch hot keys provide easy access to many Windows Vista features, including Flip 3D, Zoom, Photo Gallery, and Gadgets. Programmable F-keys can instantly open your favorite applications, games, folders, and web pages. Featuring soft-rubber side grips, the cordless laser mouse delivers exceptional comfort and precision. Both keyboard and mouse provide ultra-long battery life, and convenient LED battery indicators alert you when batteries need changing. Amazon.com Product Description : Logitech is touting an advancement in comfort and usability design with its ergonomic, cross-platform Cordless Wave keyboard. There might be some marketing hyperbole to this claim, but after a week of typing with the Wave, I'm not sure that I could live without it. (This Cordless Desktop Wave also includes the ambidextrous LX8 scroller laser mouse.) Like other ergonomic keyboards, the Wave includes an elevated palm rest, though not as extreme as the platforms of old. It's also covered in a lightly padded vinyl upholstery that feels soft yet firm under the wrist, as well as a Goldilocks amount of tackiness (i.e., not too slippery, not sticky, just right). The keys are also positioned in a gentle U-shaped arc that nearly escapes the eye, but is apparent once you set your wrists down and start typing.
As someone who writes for a living, my computer keyboard is one of the most important tools I have and one that I'm connected to for hours every day. I've gone through many models over the years to get just the right one, and I currently use the Matias Tactile Pro on my Mac as it provides some of the best keystroke feedback I've found (which is the polar opposite to the frustratingly squishy keyboards that came with my HP and Apple PCs). While the rolling contour of the keyboard layout was barely perceptible, my fingertips took to the Wave easily. It felt like each key was indeed designed specifically to fit the finger that was mapped to tap it. And the keys combine a springy action with a final tap that's not too loud, but both tactile and audible enough for instant feedback. As my week of testing progressed and my fingers grew more accustomed to the Wave, I actually felt as if my typing was both more accurate than on the Tactile Pro as well as a touch faster. From an ergonomic standpoint, the Wave's gradual curve isn't immediately noticeable, but after a few days I found my elbows weren't hunched next to my body as they were with the straight keyboard, freeing both wrists and shoulders from strain. That said, if you require more substantial ergonomics for your typing (such as the curve and height of the Microsoft Natural), you might be disappointed by the relative flatness of the Wave.
The keyboard is supplemented by a plethora of system-specific feature buttons--including Flip 3D, Gadgets and Media Center in Windows Vista (aka, Expose, Dashboard, and Front Row on the Mac)--as well as quick access to your selected audio program and full playback controls (including volume). All functions can be customized using the included Logitech Setpoint utility (or Control Center within the Mac's System Preferences). The Desktop Wave package is completed with the inclusion of the symmetrically designed LX8 laser scroller mouse, which can be used by either righties or lefties. The comfortably curved sides are supplemented by a rubbery finish that's easily gripped. It's more compact than the Microsoft Intellimouse we've been using, though just a bit heftier. That said, it glided easily over our desk's surface and was very precise once we configured the tracking speed. Both mouse and keyboard connect to your PC via a wireless USB dongle that looks like a flash thumbdrive. Its small size makes it easy to pack along with the mouse for work while on the go, and it also comes with a dock for desktop use. Both mouse and keyboard are powered by two AA batteries. When I began reviewing the Cordless Wave, I wasn't looking for a new keyboard. But thanks to its excellent typing action, unique comfort features--from the contoured design of the keys to the padded wrist rest--and the plethora of customizable functions right at the tip of the finger, it's time to part ways with my old keyboard. --Agen G.N.

 Rating:  - Really like this keyboardI have used many of the split keyboards before, usually prefer the wide split, but the gentle curve on this keyboard is perfect. Probably the best keyboard I have owned. I have owned this for a few months and is showing no signs of giving up. (I am a developer so type a lot!) Am also a MAC user, have bought 2 so far. The integration to OSX is great, the extra buttons work out of the box and can be customized. Rating: - Great Combo ! !The Logitech Wave Ergonomic Keyboard is very comfortable to use. All of the convenient shortcut "goodies" are really great. The mouse is also very comfortable. No matter what size your hand is, it fits the mouse just right. I'm glad I made this purchase. Rating: - Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave SetWorked right out of the box. I installed it without uninstalling the PS2 connections for both my old wired keyboard and mouse. The Logitech cordless desktop wave set, keyboard and mouse, worked flawlessly even with the old wired keyboard and mouse still attached. The slight resistence of the keyboard keys is a good feel and ensure that the keyboard keys when pressed make solid contact. A great pair! Rating: - Love, love, LOVE this keyboard!I am a medical transcriptionist (which means I type a lot) and I love the layout of this keyboard. Very comfortable and rather quiet, even if you bang the keys hard. The mouse is a bit harder to get used to...a little all-over-the-place when you try to put the cursor between words. I needed to get a new keyboard quickly since my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard's spacebar decided to become sticky and unusable. I did really like the MS Comfort keyboard, but this one has a better feel, and like ... Read More Rating: - Great keyboard. Mouse a little smallFormer Microsoft keyboard/mouse user. Switched because Microsoft's mice don't work properly under Windows Vista (scroll wheel won't scroll iTunes for example). The keyboard layout seems great, and is very comfortable. It is easy to type on. Some compromises by others, like the insert key being removed on Microsoft's recent keyboards, aren't problems here, which software programmers will appreciate. I do miss the "lock screen" function I had assigned to the "sleep" button on my Microsoft ... Read More |
