This RGB backlit keyboard is split and padded for maximum ergonomic comfort, making it a breeze to type after getting over the learning curve of typing on separate keyboards. It comes with 10 customizable lighting effects, 95 fully programmable keys, and a SmartSet app so you can create shortcuts or macros to work more efficiently.

Some reviewers found buying separate keyboard risers to be a little annoying, as otherwise, the keyboards tilt forward. However, gamers, programmers, and office workers all loved how versatile the detached keyboards and remappable keys are. One mentioned a tip of using a custom lighting effect to highlight their high-use shortcuts.

Pros:

Logitech's Ergo has a curve to fit your natural body position. It has a curved pillowed wrist rest that supports your arms and scooped keys to match your fingertips. Including the fact that the palm lift can be adjusted to three different tilts, this keyboard offers multiple ways to avoid wrist strain. Plus, this keyboard can connect to multiple devices, making it easy to seamlessly switch between tasks on different devices.

Some reviewers state that lack of backlighting makes seeing the characters difficult, and that the wrist rest has a cloth-like texture and gets dirty easily. Others mention that the keyboard is optimized for ergonomics during typing, but it may not be as optimal for using designing shortcuts. But if you work in a multi-device environment and type frequently, this keyboard can help expedite your work tasks.

Reviewers warn that there is no "FN" key, which is a key commonly used for shortcuts. Some reviewers also complain that this keyboard gets dirty easily, especially from your skin's oils.

This ergonomic keyboard is intentionally bigger and bulkier than others on the market so that it doesn't slide around your desk as you intensely type or game. Its shape is molded to fit your hands' natural posture, with the keys even being curved to match the length of your fingers. It also has a built-in wrist rest, numeric keypad, and seven hotkeys.

Reviewers say that this keyboard’s wrist rest is too low to be ergonomic. They also warn that it does not have any legs to adjust the tilt. However, most reviewers praise this keyboard for its curved design, useful hotkeys, and durability. Those who did have technical issues with the keyboard also liked how responsive the customer service representatives are.

Some reviewers complain that this keyboard is too clicky and loud. They also find that the functionality can be limited with newer programs. Regardless, most reviewers praise this keyboard for its ergonomics and performance. They recommend this keyboard for business and typing, but not advanced users.

Some reviewers complain that this keyboard is not good or efficient for programmers, as the Esc key is in an awkwardly far place. Others dislike how flimsy the tent tilt accessory can be when moving the keyboards around.

This specialized keyboard is both highly portable and ergonomic, making it great for use with smartphones, tablets, and even eBook readers. While it doesn't offer many extra features other than its portability, this keyboard still has a split, U-shaped format so that as you type, you can maintain a somewhat ergonomic posture while working in a small workspace, such as a cafe or train.

Reviewers enjoy how this keyboard offered them some ergonomic support while still being easy to carry. Some noted that due to its folding nature, it must be placed on a flat surface in order to work well, making this keyboard not as useful for use on a car. Despite those drawbacks, many enjoy how they can seamlessly connect from tablet to phone with this keyboard.
