Excellent buy [Posted on 2008-06-25]
Not much more I could think of in a design that could be better. Best keyboard I've ever owned and much easier to type on than those weird angled ones Microsoft put out years ago. Would be a 5 except for the zoom buttons don't seem to do anything and I can't even get a response from the support forum on it. Another slight deduction for the music controls. Buttons are too close together and too touchy. Easy to accidentally hit the forward button when trying to pause.
GREAT KEYBOARD, bad drivers [Posted on 2008-07-20]
This is an extremely comfortable keyboard with lots of great features. Unfortunately, it uses Logitech's notoriously buggy drivers. All Logitech keyboards, mouses, and such use Logitech SetPoint. If you buy a Logitech product and SetPoint installs correctly, you will be happy. Unfortunately, SetPoint sometimes does not install correctly, in which case, you will have an advanced mouse or keyboard that does not implement any advanced features.
This is what happened to me with the Wave keyboard. I am running a typical PC with XP Pro SP3. SetPoint will not install, so all the advanced features of the Wave keyboard don't work.
I am trying to fix the problem and have been in touch with Logitech's technial support for over three weeks. The process is painfully slow. Try this and let me know what happens. When trying this doesn't solve the problem, it takes Logitech support 3 - 4 days to get back with the next suggestion that doesn't work.
In summary, if you buy this keyboard and the supporting Logitech software installs correctly, I think you will love this keyboard. If the software does not install correctly and you have to try to deal with Logitech support, I suspect that after a couple of weeks, you wil find yourself looking for another keyboard.
Comfortable keyboard. [Posted on 2008-07-21]
Pros:
1. Comfortable Design.
2. Adequate number of customizable keys.
3. Not very noisy.
4. Palm rest.
Cons:
1. The software on CD didnt install correctly and i couldnt remap the "F" keys. Had to update the software in order to get it working. Once updated no problems yet.
I have had no major issues yet apart from the software installation in the beginning. Very well priced for the design and features. I have yet to figure out where the Zoom keys work (Maybe Vista only. i am on xp.). Would definitely recommend it.
Ergonomic???? [Posted on 2008-08-04]
Up to now, I've been using the Microsoft 3000 and 4000. The 4000 was my last keyboard. I love the feel of the 'slanted' keyboard but I hated the buttons. They have way too much travel and it has that 'sticky' feeling I don't like.
I just got this Wave today. My first impression was that this wasn't a real ergonomic keyboard. Not like the 4000 anyways. I can tell because my wrist is still at an angle and there's some discomfort after a few hours of use. The keys are laid out straight like a standard keyboard. The face is slopped but your wrist is still bent at an angle like a standard keyboard. For me, that's the uncomfortable spot.
As for the keys, I love it. It's soft and doesn't have a lot of travel nor does it 'stick'. If I could transfer these keys to the 4000 platform, I'd have the perfect keyboard.
Plug and Play with Ubuntu [Posted on 2008-09-04]
I bought this keyboard because it was slim and flat - I always lower my keyboards as far as I can.
However, what impressed me about this keyboard is that many of the hotkeys worked with Ubuntu - I plugged it in, and the volume control and calculator worked out of the box.
