Can a wave keyboard and lifted mouse be the solution to FQ digital producer Natalia Didovich’s office desk woes? Read on as she investigates.

FQ's digital producer Natalia Didovich puts Logitech's Ergo Series to the test.

Wellness has become woven into every aspect of our lives, from our skincare rituals to the way we eat, move, and sleep. But there’s one area that still slips under the radar: the hours we spend at our desks. If I’m being entirely honest, I’m one of the worst culprits. Far too often, I find myself curling over my laptop in bed or slumping over my desk at home in the effort to quickly write a story or type out interview notes (not exactly ideal for someone who stands at six feet tall). 

My in-office set-up isn’t much better. Until recently, I relied solely on my laptop’s built-in keyboard and trackpad – a habit that left me with cramped hands and neck aches. Determined to put an end to my desk set up woes, it was time to see what products were out there. Enter Logitech’s Ergo Series: a refined suite of ergonomic tech that are designed to be as kind to your body as they are to your desk aesthetic.

Test & trial

What first caught my attention was how thoughtfully designed these tools are. The Wave Keys keyboard, with its subtly wave-like shape and soft-touch keys, feels incredibly considered. Unlike the flat, rigid keyboard on my laptop, this one guides my hands into a more natural position, complete with a built-in palm rest that makes long writing sessions far more bearable. As a fashion girl with a keen eye for aesthetics (I consider minimalist stationery and the Paris Georgia ‘Career Girl’ t-shirt the height of office fashion), I was also pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly it fit into my desk set-up.

Then there’s the Lift Mouse: a vertical design that looks more like a sculptural paper weight than a piece of office equipment. I must admit, the unusual design was a little daunting at first, but that all changed once I put the mouse to the test. It nestles into your hand like you were about to offer someone a handshake, encouraging a relaxed, upright grip that eases the usual wrist strain. After a few days of using it, I noticed I wasn’t finishing the day with the usual joint tension or needing to stretch out my fingers.

Another piece that revolutionised my in-office experience? The Zone Vibe 100 wireless headphones. Lightweight, sleek, and incredibly comfortable, they deliver crystal-clear audio and are equipped with a noise-cancelling mic – making meetings smoother, focus time sharper, all while looking refined enough to wear well beyond the office.

Our verdict? Once you got ergonomic, you don't go back.

Our verdict

Ergonomic design is the evolution of workwear: tools that look considered, and feel even better. These pieces don’t shout for attention, but they do quietly transform your day, supporting a more mindful, balanced way to work.

It’s easy to dismiss what we use at our desks as purely functional, but in reality, we spend more time with our tech than almost anything else. So why not choose tools that support us — stylishly, mindfully, and with design-led intention? For me, the Ergo Series hasn’t just improved my workspace; it’s brought a new sense of ease to how I work. And that, I’d argue, is a kind of wellness we should all be paying more attention to.
