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. º
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. Although 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.

Because of the shape of the keyboard, it is a little bigger than I had hoped and was used to, but it is nice looking, comfortable to use and full of useful features. It is quick and easy to setup and seems to be durable. It doesn't have a cheap feel to it and I expect it to hold up as well as any other keyboard. I actually do like the wrist rest area and I love the convenience of the wireless connection.

This is a very nice wireless keyboard and mouse set. The quality is excellent, but it has a lot of features I just won't use. I know where my media controls are on my PC, and I don't need yet another place to go to adjust volume, skip songs, etc. I didn't install the software to make the media keys work. I just plugged in and played. It's nice that there's no messy installation if you don't want it.
The keyboard is stylish with vinyl wrist padding and ergonomic design, better quality than the Logitech MK 300 set. It was comfortable for me to type on from day 1 pressing the keys. I am a writer by trade, and I get attached to keyboards easily. I was comfortable with the design and adjusted to the layout almost immediately. The mouse is a much better quality mouse than the one that came with the other set. I would say it is comparable to the Logitech V220 mouse. Both are very easy on my hand, and the weak nerve in my right arm. Clicking comes easily, and the scroll wheel is stable and easy to move.
Both the mouse and the keyboard seem sturdy, although I haven't given it the drop test and I wouldn't recommend pouring a beverage on either one just to find out how durable they are. I had no problems with range, but I am using this on my desktop PC at a desk, not with a television or some other far-off remote device. If range is a concern for you, it comes with a receiver extender cable, but I don't really have a way of testing this.
I like having a wireless keyboard and mouse just because it reduces accidents and it's easy to move them around. I also like only having to use the one USB port for both pieces, and the batteries last a LONG time. Overall this is a great four star wireless keyboard and mouse set, subtracting one star for features I didn't really want or need, and for the ambiguous range.

Years ago, I used to have a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard that I really loved (I think it was the Natural pro). Yes it took some time to adjust to, but once you did, it was a pleasure to use. There were only two fatal flaws to my favorite keyboard:
1. It was only a wired keyboard - not wireless.
2. Microsoft discontinued it. Yes they have made new ones since then, but not as good in my opinion.
FIRST, THIS IS NOT AS GOOD AS THAT MICROSOFT KEYBOARD. In fact I would say that this is more ergonomic-esque. IT slightly arcs the keys. One other thing that it does is dips the keys that your two middle fingers would most type. It is a weird sensation at first but once you get used to it, it works well.
It also includes a lot of buttons. The included software allows you to customize these buttons to do a variety of things. This is nice, but it is not why I buy a keyboard. Yes they may add some connivence, but how valuable they are is up to you.
With any non-traditional keyboard... try before you buy. Not everyone may like this keyboard. But if you are looking for something to be a little kinder on your wrists, this may fit the bill.

Under the right circumstances, this is the ideal keyboard. I really liked the cushioned palm rest and the overall feel of this keyboard. It has to be one of the more comfortable keyboards I've typed on. Anyone looking to purchase a keyboard for home use will surely be happy with this. I on the other hand needed something for the office and I felt this keyboard was a little large for my desk. I rarely use the media player while I'm working so the overall size of this keyboard didn't quite suit my needs. I ended up returning this to get the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.
