Our Verdict

Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard

Logitech Wave Keys

The Kensington Pro Fit Ergo Wireless Keyboard and the Logitech Wave Keys are full-size wireless keyboards with ergonomic designs. Both have curved key layouts that tent slightly toward the middle. They also both have integrated palm rests. The major difference is that the Kensington has a split design, with more distinct left and right key clusters. Additionally, it allows you to tilt the keyboard at a negative angle, sloping downward slightly away from you. Comparatively, the Logitech has a more compact design and keys spaced more closely together. It also has more conventional tilt options at a positive angle, sloping upward slightly away from you.

  1. Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench 1.2. This update builds on our previous ‘Suction’ test with a new ‘Airflow’ test that more accurately measures a vacuum’s ability to generate air movement. If you’d like to see an in-depth look at the reasoning and methodology behind this change, you can see our full changelog here..
