Our Verdict

Logitech K350

Logitech Wave Keys

The Logitech Wave Keys is a newer, spiritual successor to the Logitech K350. Both share a similar curved key layout design that tents slightly toward the middle. Both models also have integrated palm rests. The major difference is that the newer Wave Keys is significantly more compact and connects wirelessly via standard Bluetooth with up to three devices simultaneously or the Logi BOLT USB receiver. The older K350 takes up considerably more space and connects wirelessly using Logitech's older Unifying USB receiver. It also has dedicated media keys, a feature the Wave Keys lacks.
