Ergonomic keyboards are super expensive, right? All weird in shape, with pricey mechanical switches, programmable layers, and funky controls. Well, there is some truth to all of that, but thanks to the Prime Day sales, the first bit isn't true.

Over at Amazon, you can grab the , though you will need to be a Prime member to get that discount. It's a great blend of gaming and ergonomic design, but if it's too gamery for you, then you can pick up Logitech's Ergo K860 keyboard with the same kind of saving (and same Prime member caveat).

Both will give your wrists and shoulders plenty of relief if you spend all day and night on the same PC, so carry on reading to see which one might suit you.

Cloud Nine C989M

I reviewed the (images below) back in January 2024, and I still rate it very highly as an ergonomic keyboard for PC gamers. What you've got here is a big and bold chassis, split in two to give your shoulders relief, along with a built-in system to let you adjust the amount of tilting each half has.

The curved body sets the tenting (the angle between your desk and the keyboard) to seven degrees, which is a good fit for most people. Anything less and your wrists won't rest in their natural positions, but anything more can be tricky to adjust to.

You can buy the C989M with one of two types of Kailh mechanical switches: [[link]] Brown ('Light tactile feel with a subtle click') or Red ('Quiet linear feel with no click'). I had a set of Browns in my review sample, and Cloud Nine's description of them is spot on. They are a little noisy, though, as there is no dampening to absorb spring movement or reverberations.

The whole keyboard is very responsive and great to game on, and if you love your RGB lighting, you'll have a blast with the C989's wall of backlights and super-bright media wheel. Along with a column of macro keys, you can easily change the wheel's default function, and it's lovely to use, with lots of positive feedback.

It is better suited to folks with large hands due to the sheer size of it, but if you like having lots of keyboard for your money, you're certainly not going to complain here.

Logitech Ergo K860

Right, let's get the obvious out of the way. The is not a 'gaming' keyboard, or rather, [[link]] it's certainly not designed to be great for gaming. But if you're like me and don't play super-twitchy, fast-reaction games, then you really won't mind spending a few hours RPGing and strategy gaming on it.

All of its ergonomic features and design elements make it ideal for typing all day in peace and comfort—from the fixed split and gentle tent of the layout, [[link]] to the use of membranes instead of mechanical switches, the K860 really is lovely to use.

I'd prefer a lower wristrest and one with a different material on its surface (on warm days, your palms and wrists will get a tad sweaty), and I'd prefer a bit more tenting in the middle column of keys. But other than that, I'm more than happy with the K860, which is a good job, as I've been using one for the past six months.

Prior to buying one, I used a mechanical ergonomic keyboard for work during the day, then switched to a different mechanical gaming keyboard for the evening. These days, I just use the K860 for everything. Whether that will be the case in another six months' time, I'll have to wait and see, but for now, it does the job just fine.
