The patented Contoured keyboard uses low-force mechanical switches that make typing absolutely effortless and precise. A removable, magnetic (how cool is that) riser can also be attached to the keyboard that allows pushing wrists up even farther.įor those of us that are surgically attached to our keyboards, or are showing early signs of RSI, inflammation, and CTS, the Kenesis Advantage2 is THE keyboard to get. It works particularly well, and probably even more so for people with existing wrist problems. The pad measures almost the entire width of the Sculpt keyboard, and cushions your wrists more than adequately as you type. Speaking of rest, the large padded wrist pad of the Sculpt is another welcomed addition. It’a amazing how little changes in your posture can have on your body over time. What makes the MS Sculpt keyboard so comfortable to type on? It’s all in the negative tilt and inward angling keys, which automatically guides your hands into the most natural, downward “V” shape as they rest on the keyboard. I handed the keyboard over to a friend that’s coming from an old Logitech keyboard for 1 week, and long story short, he’s not giving it back. Typing on this keyboard is an absolute dream.
We’ve been a huge fan of Microsoft’s sculpted ergonomic keyboards for years, and are happy to say the Sculpt Keyboard for Business represents the very best of that lineage. That all changes with the Logitech K860 keyboard.īottom line: The second best”conventional” split ergonomic keyboard you can buy. The only concern is how to clean it when it gets dirty.įor years the MS Sculpt has been the gold standard on conventional ergonomic keyboards. It’s around 3.5” deep, and does a good job of cushioning your entire wrist as you rest on them. Negative tilting again plays a role in good typing ergonomics, by eliminating wrist extension when you type.įinally, I’d be remiss not to mention the wrist rest that’s built into the K860 keyboard. It uses two built in kickstands that elevate the keyboard by either 4 or 7 degrees, versus a single elevated angle with the Sculpt.
However, the execution is better than Microsoft’s keyboard in my opinion. Like the MS Sculpt, the K860 keyboard also supports optional negative tilting, by raising the keyboard at the front to create a downwards slope. These two aspects help protect your wrists from unnatural twisting as you type, by reducing radial deviation and forearm pronation, two known contributors to carpal tunnel syndrome. The keyboard is also raised at the center like a dome. The keys on the Logitech K860 are positioned in a reverse “V” shape, converging towards the end.
