Our Verdict

Logitech ERGO K860

ErgoDox EZ

The ErgoDox EZ is a very different keyboard than the Logitech ERGO K860. The ErgoDox is a wired mechanical keyboard with a fully split layout, while the Logitech is a wireless keyboard with scissor switches and a partially split layout. The ErgoDox has macro-programmable keys, lower latency, and provides a better typing experience. On the other hand, the Logitech has multi-device pairing, which the ErgoDox lacks.
