Ergonomic keyboard design
Ergo K860 is designed to promote a more natural posture. The 3D curved keyboard and the curved palm rest promotes a more natural, relaxed posture that will help you work more comfortably, for longer.
Ergo K860 is a unique ergonomic design so please allow yourself a bit of time to get familiar and comfortable with the keyboard.
To give you a better understanding of how the keyboard design promotes a more natural posture, please have a look at the section below.
Curved keyframe
The gentle curve on the keyboard pushes your wrists into a more natural position, reducing the pronation of your wrist.

Split keyframe
As the curve of the keyboard, the split keyframe allows the user to have more straight, neutral posture when typing on the keyboard, having the wrist and forearm in a more linear posture.

Curved palm rest
The curved palm rest reduces the bending in the wrist also known as wrist extension, by pushing your wrist posture into a more natural angle.

Advanced palm rest
Ergo K860 features a curved, three-layer palm rest, to support your wrist and promote a more natural, relaxed wrist posture.
The three layers are:

Easy to clean fabric
High-density foam
A coated fabric

The two-layer foam gives soft support on your wrist and alleviates pressure when resting your hands and wrist on the palm rest. The coated fabric gives a nice soft touch while being easy to clean.

To learn more about how to set up your workspace in a more ergonomic manner, please take a look at our interactive guide.
Palm lift
Ergo K860 has two sets of integrated, adjustable palm-lift legs on the bottom of the keyboard. You can choose between 0 degrees, 4 degrees, and 7 degrees.
The palm lift allows you to adjust the angle of the keyboard to your needs and workstation, so your forearm and wrist will be in a more natural, relaxed posture when using the keyboard.
Key customization
Logitech Options allows you to customize shortcut keys to your preferences or needs. Download Logitech Options.
Flow
Ergo K860 is Flow-compatible. With Logitech Flow, you can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. You can even copy and paste between computers. If you have a compatible Logitech keyboard, such as Ergo K860, the keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time.
You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers. Follow these instructions.
App-Specific Settings
Your keyboard can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications.
When installing Logitech Options, you will have the possibility to install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications. Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application.

Notifications

Low battery Indication
When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get an onscreen battery notification.
Fn Lock switch
When you do press F-lock you swap between Media keys and F-Keys. The on- screen notification will indicate your setting.
NOTE: By default, the keyboard has direct access to Media Keys.

Battery
Ergo K860 uses two AAA batteries and has 24-months of battery life, depending on usage and operating conditions.
The power LED on top of Ergo K860 indicates when the keyboard is turned on (green) and will turn red when the battery level is low. The light will turn off after 20 seconds.
