5feels great! lots of programmable options (w/ software)Oct 09, 2009
By Sarah Danks "Nana Sarah"
My K350 came yesterday and I'm quite pleased, in contrast to the other review. I've been using PCs since 1980, so I've typed on a bunch of keyboards, all the way back to the original IBM PC and a handful of DEC and other terminal boards. This is the first "wave" keyboard that I've used, but not the first with an attached palm rest.

GENERAL:
The feel of the entire unit is solid, and the keys seem to have a good response. (It's not as solid as my Northgate OmniKey, but nobody has made mainstream metal keyboards for over a decade.) The keys seemed to be spaced and sized much like any other keyboard, then I measured. The keys on my basic Dell keyboard are 3/4" square, nearly flat, and touch each other. These keys are separated, deeper like an older keyboard, and just about 5/8" square, though there is enough space between them that they are almost 3/4" from center to center. My conclusion is that these keys are, indeed, typical in size and spacing. The wave shape makes the positions a bit different from what I'm accustomed to, but not enough to cause me problems.

The palm rest is lightly padded and I find it quite comfortable, though for me it is a wrist rest as I have small hands -- 6 1/2" from base to fingertip. There are two feet on the back for either a 4° or an 8° angle lift. BTW, when the keyboard is flat on the desk the front edge of the palm rest is 7/8" off the desktop in the middle where you wouldn't have your hands. Where your hands go, it is 5/8" off the desktop. I must also say that my wrists are beginning to feel a wee bit chaffed, but, since I don't do that much typing any more, my habits have become lax, and I know I'm moving my hands around when I should be leaving them in place. Looking at the bottom, I'd say that the palm rest could be removed and recovered with other material, but you would have to put it back on or the base of the keyboard would stick out.

DIMENSIONS: about 19" by 10 1/8" at the widest part of the wave.

POWER: 2 AA batteries, included; on/off switch on the underside; battery monitor when you press a function key, but the picture is misleading. The picture looks as if the battery light shows you the level of power, which it does not. However, there is a tab in the SetPoint software that will at least tell me that my brand new batteries are "good." Right now the battery light is green. When you first power up the keyboard, the battery light will turn green if the batteries are good. I tried putting in a couple used batteries to see if the light has another color to tell you the batteries are low, but I couldn't find a combo that gave me anything but green or no light.

PROGRAMMABILITY:
The black set of keys at the top center that control volume and pause/play/stop/ff/rev cannot be reprogrammed.

Ten of the 12 function keys (document, spreadsheet, calendar, 3 unassigned, browser, messaging, e-mail, search) can be reprogrammed using the SetPoint software; only F11 (battery light) and F12 (CD/DVD eject) cannot. You can program the keys to: launch a program; open a file, a folder or a web page; show a custom menu; perform a keystroke combination; do nothing (very useful if you don't want to perform the default action but haven't anything else to assign to the key); or perform another of the preprogrammed actions. When you launch a program with a function key, the name of the program flashes on the screen briefly to tell you what you just started. The original set up is that you have to press the "Fn" key at the bottom right with the function key to get the special, programmed function; however, you can change it so that you press a function key alone to get a special function and have to press Fn to get the normal function key.

Of the 8 silver specialty keys, only the zoom key on the left cannot be reprogrammed. The silver "PC" key on the top far right can be changed, but in a more limited fashion. It will sleep the PC, restart, shut down, log off, or do nothing. The other 6 can be programmed the same way as the 10 function keys. That gives you a total of 16 keys that can be very flexibly programmed. I find that quite useful.

You can choose to disable the caps lock, num lock, scroll lock, Windows start, and insert keys so that you can't accidentally press them. You can also choose to have a sound play when you do press any of them, and/or have a notice flash briefly on the screen to tell you what state they are now in. There are no num lock or caps lock lights on the keyboard itself to tell you when they are on.

RECEIVER EXTENDER CABLE: I wondered about that one and couldn't find info on Logitech's site. It's a 5' USB cable that you can use to extend the range of the receiver plug. Plug the receiver in this cable, then the cable into the PC, stretch out the cable and your PC is now that much closer to your keyboard. On the other hand, I walked to the end of my room, about 15', and reception was still fine without the extender cable. I presume it's intended for use with large screen TV setups in big rooms or projection/lecture setups, because by the time you get far enough away to need it you can't see a normal PC screen. Well, *I* can't, anyway.

"UNIFYING": If you actually read the info about the devices with "unifying" technology on either the Amazon pages or the Logitech site, you will quickly realize that Logitech's "unifying" technology is new and does not work with older mice and keyboards, and that there are only a few keyboards and mice out for it at the moment. Oh, well. I guess I wasn't surprised at all that because I already had two Logitech wireless mice and neither worked with the other's receiver. I thought that was dumb till I realized that if they did speak to each other's receivers and you had two PCs in the same room using those mice, might both mice be controlling the cursors on both machines? No doubt the new tech has a way of identifying the devices and linking them to a particular machine to prevent a problem like that. I have an Anywhere mouse on order, which is one of the ones that has "unifying," so I'm delighted with the idea. Not only fewer cords, but also fewer USB dongles. Life is good.

Update, 9/14/11:
BATTERY: I am still on the original battery with this. I use it at home, 7 days a week most of the time, and, more often that I would like, I forget to turn it off, so it stays on for days at a time. I'd say that's pretty good.
SOFTWARE: Be sure to keep your software updated. I haven't noticed any new features, but I will say that the newest SetPoint software, with newest drivers, seems to work much better on Windows 7 than the older version did when I first installed the keyboard after my OS upgrade a couple weeks ago.
DURABILITY: Dummy here splashed water on the keyboard this summer. Panic! (I usually buy keyboard covers, but when I first got this, no one had them for this model and I didn't get around to checking again.) Anyway, I took the screws out of the back thinking I would have to dry out the keyboard, but I discovered that there is a lovely plastic membrane between the keys and the circuit board. No moisture or debris can get to the electronics. Yeah!

Update, 4/21/12:
Battery: I finally had to put in a new battery in January.

4The Logitech K350 - A Great Wireless Keyboard Value With The New Universal ReceiverDec 27, 2009
By Mark "Technology, Music and Movies"
The Logitech K350 Wireless Keyboard is a great value and has enough features to meet a wide variety of needs. This is akin to the original Wave Keyboard in its design. When comparing this keyboard to the Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Pro Set, it is missing the bundled Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse.

I tested this unit with the Logitech M505 Wireless Mouse and the universal receiver worked well with both units. Once they make a version of the MX 1100 that is compatible with the new receiver, I'm sure an updated Wave set won't be far behind.

PROS
+ The universal receiver allows you to use one receiver for a wide variety of devices
+ Small (nano sized) receiver can be installed in laptops and left plugged in for mobile use
+ Great wireless range out of the box
+ Receiver extension cable allows you to use the keyboard from across the room
+ The Wave keyboard design is ergomic and comfortable
+ The on / off swich under the keyboard allows you to save battery life
+ Indicator light lets you know when you have weak batteries
+ Integrated wrist cushion is comfy and convenient!
+ Integrated number pad (yes some of us still use these)
+ Runs off two AA batteries (included) that can last for up to 3 years
+ Works well with Windows Vista & Windows 7 (Still have to test it with Mac OS X)
+ The device is plug and play without installing software (though special function keys such as zoom won't work without installing the software)
+ Key shortcuts for settings, photos, music, media center and more
+ Programmable smart keys (must install SetPoint software to use)
+ Reasonable list price

CONS
- Keys are somewhat *squishy* and are not back-lit
- The number of devices compatible with the unviersal receiver is still limited
- Wave design is still not as ergonomic as full split designs
- The integrated wrist cusion is rather thin

THE KEYBOARD

Installation is a snap. Just plug in the receiver and remove the plastic tab from the underside battery compartment allowing the battery to make contact. Ensure that the switch is in the on position, and *voila*, your computer should detect the drivers and install the keyboard. The extra function keys won't work unless you install the software, but it's nice that the basic functions work out of the box.

Some gaming keyboards, like the Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard, include extra function keys for programming macros. There are so many built-in extras on this keyboard that for most people the lack of extra macro keys should not be an issue. Best of all, this keyboard includes the unifying receiver that will allow you to use one receiver for a wide range of Logitech products.

I have a lot of keyboards and my oriiginal Wave cordless set still gets plenty of use on my desktop. I do a lot of typing and so I have started to invest in wireless keyboards for all of my home computers, including media center PCs, laptops, desktops and servers. Because I have so many computers, I was able to stumble on a great use for this keyboard. Anybody that has a media center PC and uses it for typing will definitely want to give this keyboard a test drive.

Typing on this keyboard is not as good as it could be. The keys themselves are somewhat "squishy" and this does not have the premium feel of the diNovo keyboards. But with the ergonomic shape of the wave layout, that is a trade-off I am willing to make. The base of the keyboard feels solid; it's just the key action that feels underwhelming.

THE UNIFYING RECEIVER

The unifying receiver included with this keyboard is a significant improvement. It means that you can add more devices to your computer without having to use multiple receivers. It works on the 2.4 GHz frequency according to the packaging. The range of this reciever was a pleasant surprise. I was able to use this keyboard from across the room without a problem. There is also an extender included so that those who need to use this keyboard at long-range can do so.

This nano-sized receiver is the same small size as the one included with mice designed for mobile use, like the VX Nano. However, it has the cabability to work with all the newer Logitech devices coming out now. While it won't work with older devices, it currently works with the following:
1. K350 Wireless Keyboard (this product)
2. Logitech M505 Wireless Mouse
3. Logitech Performance Mouse MX
4. Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX
5. Logitech K340 Wireless Keyboard

CONCLUSION

This keyboard definitely deserves to be considered and the new receiver only makes it even better. For the price it's an excellent value. Give it a look.

Enjoy.

3Not your father's Natural Soft KeyboardJan 25, 2010
By C. D. Colburn "Twodeadpoets"
I got the Logitech Wave K350 keyboard because after more than a year with the Microsoft 4000 I realized that it had too steep of a learning curve in finding the keys. The 4000 replaced my beige Natural Soft keyboard that I loved but hated the colour and lack of functions. Though the Logitech doesn't have the "ergonomics" that the Natural series does, I had hoped that the "Constant Curve" layout in the Wave might guide me to the keys more accurately than the 4000 did.

Now that I have had the K350 for a few weeks, I can say that though it's easier than the 4000, I still find it easy to get off track when keying. Another annoyance is the placement of some key keys including the "Delete button in which was lengthened with the "Home" key right above that instead of the "Insert" Key. To the right of the "Home" key is the "End" key with the "Page Up" and "Page Down" below that. I'm sure I'll get used to it sooner or later but it does not have the placement as most other keyboards I use.

All that said, I like the looks of the Logitech and the functions are pretty cool though a bit more geared toward media than I need. The lines are sleek and the wireless ability with up to a 3 year battery life is what made me finally spring for a wireless keyboard. I ordered the K350 to compliment my Logitech Performance MX mouse and LOVE that I can connect the two together to one remote USB devise. Another thing I enjoy is the wrist pad. I suffer from Carpal Tunnel and the pad helps quite a bit. Lastly the set with all of their functions are a real compliment to Windows 7.

4Still one of the best keyboards you can buyNov 19, 2009
By Wayne "Omegafiler"
I've probably used hundreds of various types of keyboards over the years and to this day, I still find the Logitech keyboards to be the best overall in value and performance. This is also why most of the keyboards I use on my systems are usually Logitech branded. The K350 is of course no exception. This particular model would be the 4th one I have ordered, including the wired, wireless, and wireless keyboard/mouse combo model. Logitech has just about any version or combination you are looking for.

Unlike the original split "ergo" style keyboards, the new ergo keyboards tend to have more a curve as this one does. Logitech stays with this new trend, except they have added a "wave" across the keys. I'm not sure how much this adds to the ergonomics or typing experience, but I've found I can type for hours without getting tired or finding that I have to take a break. So I'm going to assume that it works.

All of the keys are exactly where you'd expect them to be and are easy to find. This includes everything from the Delete key to the various multimedia keys to adjust volume, and even Windows Aero 3D Task hotkey. The keys have a nice solid feel to them and are very response. With one of the keyboards, the top row of multimedia keys did get stuck a few times, possibly due to not being used enough. This still shouldn't happen and hasn¡¦t been seen with any of the other 3 keyboards. There is also a rubber type material on the palm rest which is a nice touch. Although after extensive use, it does tend to get a bit shiny from the grease in your hands and will require cleaning. I still haven't been able to clean it 100%.

The only other problem I've noticed with the last 2 K350 model keyboards I purchased, including this one, is that they were "warped" out of the box. I had to grab the keyboard at both ends and twist it so that it would sit level on the desk. That is certainly not the quality I've come to expect from Logitech. Hopefully this is something that has been or will soon be addressed in future builds.

Pros:
* Very comfortable keyboard
* Handy multi-media controls
* Good value for the features you get
* Logitech's reliable 2.4 GHz wireless connection
* Keys have a solid feel

Cons:
* Some potential build quality issues
* Stain prone palm rest

Overall I rate the K350 4 out of 5 stars due to some recent build quality issues. Otherwise I do consider it highly recommended.

5Great keyboard - also see short video!Feb 02, 2010
By Jobba "Jobba"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1Y5Y3PM19KVRU This is a quality wireless keyboard from logitech, with contours and padding for comfort.

It is definitely raised (see video), but my wrists lay comfortably on the padded area (and I have big hands).

I've never had issues finding keys or getting disoriented, and this is my first keyboard with this ergonomic design/style.

The usb connection is tiny and simple. It doesn't work with my old (3 years) logitech mouse, so check compatibility if you're expecting to consolidate devices on one receiver.

One of my concerns was battery power, but I have used this daily for 3 months without any signs of low battery - so far so good for a pair of aa's.

Pros:
Solid wireless connection, no lags or misses
Long battery life
Comfortable and well constructed

Cons:
On the larger side, with the attached padding and miscellaneous buttons
