Combined ranking

1. 1
   Logitech Wave Keys—10 pts

   GPT #1Claude #1

   Best under-$80 mix of comfort, reliability, easy learning curve, cushioned palm rest, compact numpad layout, Bluetooth/Logi Bolt, three-device switching, and long battery life

   To stay #1 Add true split adjustability and tenting

2. 2

   GPT #3Claude #3

   Proven fixed-split ergonomic layout, cushioned wrist rest, quiet office-friendly keys, spill resistance, and dependable budget pricing

3. 3
   PPerixx Periboard-612▲16 pts

   GPT #4Claude #2

   A true split-and-tented layout (rare at ~$50) with dual-mode Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, integrated wrist rest, and a Windows/Mac toggle — the closest thing to a Microsoft Sculpt successor at budget price

   To rank higher Modernize the mushy membrane switches and dated styling; key feel is the main reason people return it

4. 4
   PProtoArc EK01 Plus▼24 pts

   GPT #2Claude —

   Stronger ergonomic shape than most budget options, fixed split layout, integrated wrist rest, backlighting, multi-device wireless, and good value for long typing sessions

   To rank higher Improve key feel and build consistency

5. 5
   PProtoArc EK01new2 pts

   GPT —Claude #4

   Rechargeable (rare in this class), tri-device pairing, curved split layout with generous palm rest, and usually $55–65 — strong spec-per-dollar for a newer brand

   To rank higher Prove long-term reliability and widen retail/warranty support; inconsistent QC reports keep it below the established brands

6. 6
   AAdesso Tru-Form 150▼11 pts

   GPT #5Claude —

   Low-cost wireless split keyboard with built-in palm rest, backlighting, full-size layout, and simple plug-and-play setup

   To rank higher Add Bluetooth and modernize the typing feel

7. 7
   Logitech Ergo K860new1 pts

   GPT —Claude #5

   The best ergonomic board in the bracket when discounted to ~$80 — pronounced split and tented curve, pin-tilt for negative slope, superb palm rest, and Logitech reliability

   To rank higher Bring the everyday street price under $80 permanently instead of only during promotions; at MSRP it doesn't qualify
