Those companies favor a tilt around -7\u00a0to -11 degrees, curved keys to emulate tenting, built-in wrist rests, and numpads.<\/p>\n<p>I mention those two brands because if you look at images of the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard, the Logitech Ergo, and the Cherry Ergo from the topdown, you\u2019d almost think they were the same keyboard. But once you go hands-on, you\u2019ll learn that\u2019s far from true. And at first, I wanted to hate it, but eventually, I learned that Cherry\u2019s differences are actually good for the right people.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Budget_Keyboard_with_Budget_Features\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">A Budget Keyboard with Budget Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-96080 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/0175bb2f.png\" alt=\"The bottom of a keyboard with three folding legs.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The bottom is essentially one solid piece, save the three flip-out legs <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before we get into those differences, let\u2019s get a few housekeeping items out of the way. At $45 or so (prices vary depending on where you buy it), Cherry\u2019s ergonomic keyboard is well into budget territory for an ergonomic option. Logitech\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Logitech-Wireless-Ergonomic-Keyboard-Wrist\/dp\/B07ZWK2TQT?tag=reviewgeek-20\">Ergo keyboard<\/a> and Microsoft\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/156932\/671509\/10014?subId1=rg&amp;subId2=95911&amp;sharedid=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fmicrosoft-sculpt-ergonomic-desktop-wireless-usb-keyboard-and-mouse-black%2F1818024.p%3FskuId%3D1818024\">Sculpt ergonomic keyboard<\/a> are $130 apiece, while the famous\u00a0KINESIS <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07STXXNJP?tag=reviewgeek-20\">Gaming Freestyle Edge<\/a> keyboard is $230. Even Microsoft\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Microsoft-LXM-00001-Ergonomic-Keyboard\/dp\/B07Y414QXJ?tag=reviewgeek-20\">budget ergonomic<\/a> entry usually tips the scales at $60.<\/p>\n<p>But bringing down the price means giving up features you might find elsewhere. This Cherry keyboard is not wireless, for instance. Thankfully the integrated USB cable is plenty long at six feet. You also won\u2019t find backlighting, adjustable tilt legs, or mechanical keys.<\/p>\n<p>That last one might come as a surprise considering Cherry is primarily known for its mechanical keys, but honestly, those are all acceptable ommissions at this price range. Even the $130 Logitech option doesn\u2019t include backlighting or mechanical keys.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger hit comes down to the quality of materials. Compared to all the rest, the Cherry Ergo feels very plasticky and not in a good way. The colors are fine, but the feel of the components doesn\u2019t scream premium. Thankfully the keys themselves are quite nice for a membrane option, although I\u2019ll get into that later. The real loss is the wrist rest (sometimes called a palm rest). It feels cheap, it\u2019s not soft or forgiving at all, and it\u2019s just the wrong shape. Which actually might be a good thing for some people.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaped_for_Beginners_and_Easier_to_Learn\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Shaped for Beginners and Easier to Learn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-96092 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/430fbd51.png\" alt=\"Two keyboards, one with far less tilt and curve than the other.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Compared to the Microsot Ergonomic in the back, the Cherry\u2019s tilt and curves are much less pronounced. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I first went hands-on (literally) with this keyboard, I was severely disappointed by the wrist rest. You see, in most ergo keyboards that bother with a wrist rest, it rises above the keys to support your arms. That\u2019s an important part of ergonomics because one of the worst things you can do is bend your wrist downward.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the tilt on the Cherry Ergo is dramatically lower than most other keyboards. And you can\u2019t adjust it beyond laying the keyboard entirely flat. Those two decisions put together initially led to discomfort. Instead of \u201creaching down\u201d to the keys, the lowered wrist rest led to \u201creaching up and out\u201d to the keys. I wanted to abandon the keyboard right away and never use it again.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m a reviewer and can\u2019t do that. So I marshaled on and realized one simple thing: I just needed to skip the wrist rest. In truth, you should do that anyway. If you lift your hands slightly, the rest of Cherry\u2019s ergonomic choices are good enough to accomplish the goal. And in some ways, because the tilt is less extreme because you\u2019re lifting your wrist, it\u2019s easier to adapt to than other keyboards.<\/p>\n<p>Even Cherry\u2019s \u201ctenting\u201d is less pronounced than other competitors, but it\u2019s there. It\u2019s just a little \u201cbetter than flat,\u201d but Cherry did a good job of extending certain keys, like the H and T, to better fit where your fingers will land in the new ergonomic position. You\u2019ll still have growing pains: it\u2019s amazing what bad habits you don\u2019t realize you have, like hitting the T key with your right index finger. A split keyboard won\u2019t allow you to do that.<\/p>\n<p>But overall, the learning curve should be easier than some other ergonomic keyboards. And for new converts, it\u2019s probably helpful that Cherry included a numpad. Ergonomic purists will tell you to dump the numpad, so your mouse is closer to the keyboard, but relearning to type numbers without a numpad is painful. At least you\u2019ll avoid it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Im_Surprised_I_Like_the_Keys_So_Much\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">I\u2019m Surprised I Like the Keys So Much<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-96093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/b233fe3d.png\" alt=\"A closeup of an ergonomic set of keys\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For membrane keys, these are quite satisfying and clacky. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These may not be mechanical keys, but if any company can make membrane-style keys feel good, it\u2019s apparently Cherry. I\u2019ve primarily used membrane keys for years, and these have to be among the most tactile keys I\u2019ve used. They don\u2019t feel like mechanical, certainly, but it\u2019s probably the closest you can get.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, that helps the ergonomics. You don\u2019t want something too hard to push that will strain your fingers, but you also don\u2019t want mushy keys that feel terrible. For a membrane option, these are darn near perfect. They even make a satisfying clackity sound as you\u2019re typing, though yes, they still fall short of true mechanical. Cherry\u2019s placement is fine, too, and as a seasoned ergonomic typer, I didn\u2019t have to make any real adjustments except one.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-96312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23ca5d0e.jpg\" alt=\"A closeup of a keyboard showing a delete key directly above a backspace key.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The location of the delete key is a little unfortunate. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Frequently I hit the lock key instead of backspace in the beginning.

Even still, it\u2019s a nice bonus feature.<\/p>\n<p>I would be remiss not to mention one issue I ran into: halfway into testing this keyboard the backspace key started sticking. I\u2019d hit it, and the entire paragraph would delete until I smacked it again in desperation. But a good cleaning solved that, and it hasn\u2019t happened again since.

It looks so different and costs so much. What if it turns out to be a waste of money? If that\u2019s you, and you\u2019ve wanted to make the switch but are unwilling to take the risk, the Cherry Ergo keyboard is the one you should look at. It\u2019s not overpriced, and it\u2019s not as drastically different from the keyboard you know and love.<\/p>\n<p>You may find that it\u2019s just right, and it\u2019s the last keyboard you\u2019ll use. Or it may show you that ergonomic keyboards aren\u2019t as bad as you thought, and you\u2019ll upgrade down the road. It\u2019s certainly good enough to fit either of those roles. And in the worst-case scenario that you hate split keyboards, well, at least you didn\u2019t spend a hundred dollars or more. Get the Cherry Ergo if you\u2019re interested in trying out a more ergonomic life.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re already a seasoned ergonomic typist, I can\u2019t recommend the keyboard so highly. It lacks features like variable tilt or a truly comfortable wrist rest. The best reason to get this instead of other options is if you want to save some money.
