THE LOGI ERGO LAB
We do better when we feel better.
That core, systemic belief underpins the rigorous work we do at the Logitech Ergo Lab, based in Switzerland. We take a human-centered and scientific approach to support the development and reinvention of tools that help people feel better at work, school or home.

It's no secret that the usage of technology both in and out of classrooms has increased.
That increase, however, leads to more ergonomic concerns. In a survey exploring ergonomic issues associated with laptop use, 60% of students between 10-17 years old reported discomfort using laptops without companion tools.1 That's not all.
Learning and vision problems can also result from increased technology use. Did you know that children require sound to be 300% louder than background noise, otherwise learning loss can occur?
Moreover, 42% of teachers reported that students in the classroom had trouble seeing images and other material from the other side of the classroom.2
Ergonomics isn't just critical for physical wellness. It equally impacts learning outcomes. Seventy four percent of educators said that students' level of physical comfort while using educational technology impacts their level of engagement in learning.3
Studies also show that without correct posture and proper
