Our Verdict

Dygma Raise

Logitech Wave Keys

The Dygma Raise and the Logitech Wave Keys are keyboards with ergonomic designs and integrated palm rests. The Dygma is a smaller, compact (60%) wired-only model with mechanical switches. It has a true split design with two halves that you can position independently. On the other hand, the Logitech Wave Keys is a wireless, full-size model with a curved key layout that tents slightly in the middle. It also has rubber dome switches, which are significantly quieter but produce a mushier-feeling typing experience.
