Review: An Amazing Keyboard, But a Few Gripes Especially Given the Premium Price - Anyone claiming this is a poor quality keyboard and not worth the money is very much writing a work of fiction. This Logitech MX keys takes the place of my 3rd K350 which had become too worn; the build quality and weight of the MX keys is instantly notable given its one piece metal build frame, no doubt packing a hefty battery - after 2 months of daily use, 8+ hours per day with the backlighting turned off, my battery warning light has finally come on! The fact that the battery isn't removal is a minimal negative but with no need for AA batteries you really do get a lot of life out of a single charge so it seems. For the first few hours of use i didn't like it at all... but then something clicked and my writing speed and accuracy increased well beyond what was achievable with the K350. That said there are times when I'm not completely compos mentis or when typing words with characters in the top left of the keyboard when typing discrepancies tend to occur where normally on the K350 I wouldn't have had any issues. This may well be due to the K350 having a slightly curved, ergonomic layout compared to the MX keys' very ridge straight key alignment by comparison. A few reasons why you shouldn't buy this keyboard - firstly you're a gamer... put simply this is no good for gaming, partly because of the key sizes but mostly due to amount of travel. You basically need a mechanical keyboard if gaming is your poison. Secondly you shouldn't buy this keyboard if you like to customise the gradient of keyboard angle. There is no way to raise or lower the angle of the keyboard, whilst although I bought the version with a palm rest, i didn't actually find it useful and have ended up using it to place some of my USB cards or smaller, regularly used, desk knickknacks; a bit of a waste of £20 or so. Finally I've found the customisation of the function buttons rather... frustrating... it would be good to be able to have a wider variety of function allocations. For example F5 i'd like to keep as "refresh" whilst maintain the added functionality of the other buttons on that row. Seemingly "refresh" isn't an option that can be allocated however this is more a limitation of the software rather than a reflection of the quality of the hardware itself. Edit: the newer Logi Options+ beta software does seem to provide a greater variety and flexibility of key function customisation. It would also be good to not have to always use the required dongle - I can't seem to find a way to simply use my built in bluetooth rather than having the dongle connected... this also seemingly limits the ability to use the 3 different device buttons (of course unless you have a further 2 Logitech dongles handy). All in all, a few gripes but a solid keyboard and a jump up from my previous K350 - the true test will be how long the non-replaceable battery actually last over the long term (given the built in battery cannot be replaced) and how long until the key labelling starts to rub off! Review: Absolutely love this keyboard! Works with 3 operating systems in one go! - If you want a high tech keyboard which has multi connect capabilities and looks good, then you've found the right keyboard! The first striking feature is the weight of the keyboard, it's a heavy boi! Certainly not the most portable (I mean it's not like a 10kg dumbbell, but it's a noticeable weight) but you can still take it around. Secondly it's able to connect to three devices at once - one via the USB dingle and two via Bluetooth. I have this connected to my laptop,a and steam deck, with very easy transition between all three using the keys. The light up keyboard is nice - you can adjust the brightness and it has a motion sensor which turns in the light when you hover your hand over the keys *chefs kiss* I chose this over the MX Mechanical as its quiet, and so my wife won't complain at me clicking away whilst working. Not the most ergonomic for gaming, this is certainly a low profile keyboard for working and everyday use.
