The Logitech Wave - This One I Aint’ Riding

The horrible good ol’ fashioned curvy keyboard are making a comeback. Right from their 1990s ‘hey-day’ shopping spree, Logitech have launced their ‘Wave’ keyboard, giving the dastardly uncomfy comfy keyboards a 2007 makeover. Spiffy artwork on the spacebar, the afformentioned stylish little wristpad and a raft of new features lets you revel in bad typing habits stylishly.
According to a study at Harvard, for Logitech, the average person types approximately 2 million keystrokes every year. That’s equal to 200 hours of typing. The Logitech Wave Comfort Design will delight people by offering the perfect balance of comfort and usability.
But of course - that’s just the ‘average’ person. Geeks like me and you probably average and extra 10 million (if not more). Not that I’ve ever found my plain old keyboard uncomfy, but Logitech reckons that if I buy some horribly shaped keyboard, I’ll miss all the buttons protect myself against damaging my wrists. The innovative “wave key-frame design” (despite whatever claims are made) is nothing new to keyboard manufacturers, however there’s no denying that the wrist rest looks kinda funky.
Like most modern Logitech products, it’s both OSX and Windows compatible and like my Logitech G15, it comes with a large array of programmable keys - for quick-starting applications and quick-switching in games. Priced at just $50 (£25) though, the curvacious ‘Wave’ keyboard comes in considerably cheaper. via Gadgetell

…I’ll believe it’s good when I’ve used it for a while, and it actually is. For now I’ll stick with my slim aluminium unit

Likewise - I hated them darn curves. I could never hit the right keys, for one.

Looks pretty cool if you ask me. I might try it out. I’ve got a Logitech MX5000 keyboard right now and have thought about going to something more ergonomic.
