Some people love them, other people can't seem to get to grips with them and just stare at you when they want to use your PC. Yes I'm talking about the ergonomic keyboards. If you're a fan like me, you'll be disappointed with the range and availability of "natural" or ergonomic keyboards to give your wrists the correct angle they should be receiving, as well as a few extra gadgets that the "normal" keyboards supply.

Logitech have turned a few heads recently, with their new Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave, with its style resembling close to Microsoft's own "Natural Curve" series; although this one has something a little extra special to enhance the comfort of your wrists!

XYZ Computing have got their hands on the new keyboard and give us a run-down on how good it actually is:

"This review will be looking at the wireless desktop, what Logitech calls the Cordless Desktop Wave. This package, which retails for about $90, includes the Wave keyboard, a laser mouse, and a USB RF adapter to allow them both to connect to your computer. Logitech, despite being a leader in the input device market, has not released many ergonomically-inspired products so this could potentially be an important offering for them. With an more people than ever using their computer for multiple hours a day, the focus on comfort is an increasingly important trend with input devices. The Wave keyboard's design is not nearly as drastic as some other models available, but the intention is the same- to put a person's hand in a position that is comfortable and ergonomically sound. The does this by slightly turning the outer edges of the main block of keys to prevent the wrists from being at an unnatural angle and by giving a wave contour to the keys so as to match the varying lengths of your fingers. The Wave also uses a padded wrist rest and tilt adjustments that can place the keyboard at three different heights in order to match the user's preference."
