Logitech Comfort Wave Keyboard

[hyperlinked]

I was at OfficeMax today and saw that they had the Logitech Comfort Wave keyboards there and I tried it out.  I have to say that they feel really nice with their very subtle shifts in key positioning. It's sort of like a Kinesis Contour flattened out and it features oversized modifier keys that are easier to hit han the normally placed ones.



Of course they were rubber domes and the only thing that'll keep me from getting one of these is that I know that those domes will feel like **** after I pound on them day in and day out for a month. In a minute of typing, I already felt a few keys catch so I know it's just won't cut it. Also the spacebar felt very flat. It either had a different length of travel or no recoil. Either way, it made it feel very odd.

I'd love to see someone make a mechanical with this slightly curved design because I like the idea of split ergo keyboards, but find them very impractical for many things I do and because they're impractical I change the way I use them and they end up causing pain instead of being more comfortable. Something like this is like having a bit of the ergo board without losing the practicality of a traditional board.

Eew. That keyboard looks like such a piece of plasticky junk.

It's a crappy logitech rubber dome too. I've used logitech keyboards lots of times. I don't like their stupid mice either, and their logo is an ugly eye -- like NVIDIA.

And people complain about model Ms being big, that logitech thing is HUGE. Especially with the stupid multimedia buttons which require bloatware drivers to even use.

Those things wear out really easily. I had to type one once, and the keys just felt sticky...

BTW, I should make certain to identify that this keboard isn't just curved like a lot of non split ergo keyboards are, but the keys have slightly different heights depending on which key it is and that's why I said it's kinda like a flattened Kinesis Contour.

Yeah I figured that'd be the case. If someone made a quality version of this with mechanical switches or at least good rubber domes, I'd be all over it.

I wouldn't unless they had a beige version without multimedia buttons.

tried one today at TigerDirect. What a POS. The layout isn't the issue though.

TD have a whole aisle of keyboards, one side logis, the other side MS. Both crank out rubber dome garbage, but I have to say that the logitechs are consistently the worst feeling keyboards I have ever used. The entire line-up.
