[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was nervous to use a wireless mouse and keyboard for gaming because of any delay. And they were expensive. But after using them I couldn’t be happier. Awesome products. 5/5 stars all day
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works perfect! nearly zero effort to set up and auto connect with my work set up. This is my second product purchase with Logitech. No hesitation in buying their products
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a really great keyboard. I like the accuracy and the feel. The features are good, but It misses the backlight. It would better if they could add it.
Hardware is great, software is poor, Logitech branding shows incredibly poor choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great for a single computer. What’s missing is backlit lights on the keyboard and Flow is an awesome feature when it works but it’s just awful. Flow stops working multiple times throughout the day and needs to have LogiOptions software restarted multiple times. I really like the multiple connection methods - Bolt, Bluetooth and unencrypted dongle so 1 mouse + keyboard control everything. The keyboard Smart Actions is a gimmick, lacking useful options like a decent editing annd troubleshooting stepper. Use AutoHotKey as a better alternative. For goodness sake, the K860 Bolt keyboard is different than K860 Unifying dongle keyboard so they need to be different designations besides K860 - seriously need to change the branding because online they look compatible and they’re not - I had to order and return multiple times.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard was too big for me. It just didn’t fit anywhere that’s not to say it’s not bad for people, but it wasn’t for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it, I own the regular and the business. 1 for at home and a 1 business for at the office. I wish the keys were the same as the regular k860. I only bought the business edition so I could pair both mouse and keyboard with logo bolt.
Amazing keyboard. Uses the same Logi Bolt receiver (unlike the non-business version) as my MX Master 3 mouse, meaning only one USB port is being used for 2 devices, or zero if I want to use Bluetooth. And I don't notice any lag with either connection technology.
Key travel and feel is very nice. Ergonomics are spot on. The only way I could be more comfortable is if it was split into 2 pieces so I could spread my hands even wider.
I kinda like the different function key layout compared to the non-business version as well. I like to keep the F keys active because I use them pretty often, so this new layout has the volume up/down keys on non-F-keys so I don't need to switch off F-keys to use them.
The one thing I'd like to see changed, though is the Home/End/Delete/P Up/P Down buttons. I wish they were arranged like the K350 keyboard. I used that keyboard for a long time and always thought the layout of those keys on that keyboard made so much more sense. This isn't worth docking stars from this keyboard, though, because very very very few keyboards use that layout.
I've been using the ERGO K860 (non-business model) for a couple years and love it - in fact, I decided to take it in to work to use there, and bought the Business model to replace it at home. I chose the Business model because it uses the newer Bolt receiver, which can be shared with my mouse (MX Master 3S). I didn't pay close attention to product images and assumed the keyboards were identical, but while they are physically identical there are some changes to the function keys, which I think are a big improvement - the Business model shifts some keys around and moves the "right click (menu)" key and function lock key, which I never use, to be secondary which give room for an emoji and mic mute key, which I use all the time.
I only have two complaints. Fist is that, once muting the mic with the keyboard, unmuting without the keyboard is very cumbersome - if you are using this keyboard with a laptop that isn't permanently docked and use the mic mute key it's going to be annoying when you're not sitting at your desk with the keyboard. You basically have to go into system settings and increase input volume or use a 3rd party app to add a toggle to the menu bar. The Logitech Options+ app already placed an icon in the menu bar when the keyboard mutes the mic, so it would be great if you could click that to unmute. My second complaint is that there's no option to enable syncing EasySwitch between the keyboard and mouse. Logitech has suggested Flow for this functionality but I can't (and don't want to) sign in to the cloud software on my work computer. I'm currently using a USB switcher with Bolt receiver to allow for single-button switching between computers but if they added an EasySwitch sync option in the software I could pair keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth and remove the need for the Bolt receiver and USB switcher.
