Logitech's Upcoming Ergonomic Keyboard Leaks Ahead of Launch
Logitech is readying a new ergonomic keyboard that will go under the name of Wave Keys according to several product images posted by WinFuture. As the name implies, the keyboard is wave shaped, but it's also somewhat curved and takes a slightly different design approach to its shape compared to the current Logitech Wave keyboard. The arrow keys have been shifted to the left, under the right shift key and the cluster of keys above the arrow keys on a full-size keyboard have been moved to the same row as where the function keys would normally be, in favour of the print screen, scroll lock pause keys.
The function keys get to share duty with various media keys and what not and the Wave Keys keyboard has also been designed to be Apple compatible, so the ctrl, alt and windows keys are shared with the cmd and opt keys you'd find on an Apple keyboard. What stands out the most is the integrated, soft and apparently cushioned palm rest, which not only is huge, but seems very likely to attract dirt and grime over time. The Wave Keys support both Bluetooth and Logitech's proprietary wireless connectivity and the company claims up to three years battery life. The keyboard is said to launch later this week for €99.99 in the Eurozone.

You can also get a weird ISO/ANSI hybird.
~$99-119 USD on Amazon, Newegg, etc.
This really took off, so many companies followed, and now even the companies that do make proper EU local keyboards also offer US layout, and it's a mess.
