Sounds beefy, but it has enough of the functions I prefer, and my hands feel much better using this keyboard now compared to my old basic USB keyboard.

Looks interesting to me personally. It could be comfortable without having to put up with the ridiculous constraints that full ergo keyboards put on you...]]>Jul 27th 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/
Nice find, thanks. I didn't realize the 7000 was available yet.

Peaviner,

I agree. It isn't laid out like other ergo keyboards, so it took a few minutes to get used to. Now, I love the way this keyboard feels. More comfortable keyboard I've ever used.]]>Jul 27th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/Jul 27th 2007 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/
Of course, that's probably about the *only* ergonomic rule that this keyboard adheres to. The biggest part of ergonomics in any keyboard is actually key resistance, and IBM actually found that both proper and varied key resistance was the biggest ergonomic improvement they could make in a keyboard. Of course, they never did variable resistance themselves - probably too expensive - but their Model M keyboards always had the best compromise of the "right" resistance level if you were going to just have one resistance level across the keyboard. Most other manufacturers don't pay attention to this at all, or if they do, they just do it by whatever feels good at first touch to the designer of the keyboard. Usually it's just based on whatever components they can get the cheapest, though.

But. The quality of key mechanics never was good.

I had in past 3(?) different Logitech keyboards and none of them felt well to my touch-typing fingers. (Now, I'm using M$ Natural Ergo keyboards last 8 years and my fingers can't be happier.)

I'd even opine that Logitech doesn't much care about - nor does understand what is - ergonomics per se. They just follow fashion creating weird devices with bizzare designs. For PR stunts. I can't imagine any other use for such products.

P.S. Logitech mice are totally different story.]]>Jul 28th 2007 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/logitechs-wave-keyboard-gets-reviewed/
Which turned out to be Logitech SetPoint one.

The drivers are BUGGY AS HELL.

Two times I had to reinstall Windows completely because SetPoint drivers (which are mandatory for Logitech trackballs) had screwed up MSInstall service baring me from installing/unstalling software to/from system.

Beware.]]>Jul 28th 2007 9:10AM
