Logitech MX Keys Keyboard

I currently have two PC setups on my desk. Right now I am WFH for about a month, I took home my PC tower, the mouse, and keyboard. The keyboard is a Logitech K270 and the mouse is a M185 - the IT department purchases these two peripherals as a combo and issues them to all of us at the workplace. For years I go to work, use the keyboard and mouse without issue, and come home and use my personal devices - and don't think much of it. However, having both of them running simultaneously, I seriously can't get over just how much better the Logitech MX Keys is. Every time I have to switch over to my work K270 I just wish I had another Logitech MX Keys. It's such a contrast, that I'm thinking of purchasing another one for my work computer, and just taking it back to the office with me when my WFH stint is over. The MX keys has a very nice low profile design, and the keys can be struck quickly. I can type so much more quickly on this keyboard. The overall budget nature and just the design of the tall keys with budget switches just doesn't lend itself to quick typing. With the MX keys your fingers just flow from press to press and you don't have to wonder if the keystroke is going to register or not. The only reason I got the MX Keys, is I was using a very legendary, but very legacy Logitech K800. That was my favorite keyboard (until the MX keys). It was getting dirty over the years, so I decided I would take it apart and clean it. All was going well until I tried to re-assemble it. Somehow I had broken the little retaining clips on about 25% of the keys when I removed them. (Note to all you K800 owners, be very careful if you try to refresh this keyboard, I thought I could do it willy-nilly but there is definitely a trick to removing the key-caps.) I did purchase a second one of these to use with my living room gaming PC. (So yeah, I might purchase a third for work. It is just that good.)

This is the best keyboard I have ever owned in my life. I love the fact that I can press one button to instantly change from my desktop to my laptop. One of the best features is that this keyboard uses Bluetooth as well as Wi-fi connections. That means I don't need a dongle for my new laptop which doesn't have many USB ports available. Also, even though it is wireless - which in itself is a great feature - it has a long battery life when using the backlit keys. The charging port uses USB type C for faster charging. The best feature is the auto backlight feature. The moment you place your hand over the keys to start typing, the backlight comes on until you are done typing then times out. The backlight is easily adjusted from off, to low, all the way to very bright levels. The auto backlight feature saves on battery life and was very ingenious of Logitech. The ergonomics are great too. The keys are very soft, and very quiet, especially if you are doing any type of video content. You can buy a very inexpensive translucent cover that is a perfect fit and protects against spills, dust, or cookie crumbs, whatever. I use it even during the typing. This is also a perfect match for the Logitech M720 mouse.

This keyboard replaces a wireless Logitech keyboard I bought three years ago and needed to replace when one of the plastic feet broke. At the very least, I know that won’t be a problem with this keyboard. I didn’t spend a lot of time researching, as I was happy enough with the predecessor that I went looking for another Logitech product with a similar form factor and key layout. This was the first item that came up, so I bought it. I was surprised by its heft when I first picked it up. The rechargeable battery compartment along the top also serves as the feet creating a proper incline. This might be a negative if you routinely prop your keyboard on your legs as I sometimes do as it is heavy. I mainly type on my desk with adequate support of the heels of my hand that weight isn’t an issue, and I appreciate the solid feel of the thing. The spacing and responsiveness of the keys are about as good as any keyboard of this size. Touch typing seems to be quicker and more accurate than the K360 this is replacing. I don’t yet have any sense of battery life between charges, but the keyboard can be connected to power with a USB-C cable (a short one is included) and can be used while charging. Set up was easy with the included dongle (it worked right out of the box). There is an option to set up with multiple computers and switch between them using one of three keys.

Been using Logitech keyboards & mice for decades. I had two corded illuminated Logitech K740 keyboards, which I loved...so easy to type on & quiet & with great features. Sadly, both were showing wear with key labels wearing off & one suddenly popped the backspace key. One can find used K740 keyboards & a few new ones, but the used ones I've seen are not in great condition & too expensive for a used keyboard. I tried to get the popped key back in place, but hours of trying, I could not get it back on to save my life. I contacted Logitech, but never pursued anything with them. I ended up buying an inexpensive corded illuminated keyboard here on Amazon. It's OK, but the touch is nothing like my two K740. I decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on this Bluetooth wireless MX Keys. I honestly think the touch may be even better than my two K740 keyboards. I can type very fast on this new one. The response is excellent. I'm not a gamer, so no idea how it would work in that regard, but I find it to be a terrific keyboard. I would definitely buy an additional one when I get a new desktop or lap top. I did have to try about 3 times to get the software installed, but it was a minor problem. I've not used it enough to know how the battery life is and have thus far been using it for 2 days plugged into power source. I'm very impressed with this keyboard. It is too bad that Logitech has discontinued the K740. If they do repairs, I would send both to be refurbished, but have my doubts if they do that sort of thing.

I have been a Logitech fan for a long time - since my first trackball purchased many years ago. The keyboard is as described, battery life is excellent and look and feel of this back-lit unit is perfect. Depending on where you place the keyboard when not in use and turned on, sometimes it lights up seemingly on it's own but it just seems to pick up movements you don't expect. Easily cleaned, liquid resistant with all the full-size keyboard features you need as well as having programmable keys. The Logitech+ fob picked up my MxErgo mouse with no problem. Even having a premium price tag . . . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Buscaba reemplazo de teclado para mi Mac, trabajo mucho con shortcuts y este es cómodo, elegante, bien construido e iluminado. Que se cargue por usb y sea bluethooth o de usb es perfecto. Pesa el doble o quizá mas que el teclado grande de mac, ligero no es. Pero sin duda lo compraría de nuevo.

It's been two months of use, I charged only once. Connection is swift with the laptop/IPad. Backlight is handy, the only issue is there is no setting in the app to keep the backlight on for more than 5 seconds. It detect the movements and switch on the backlight but fail to detect the hand on the keyboard, off after few seconds. Only way to bring it back is move the hand over the keyboard which is annoying when you working overnight. Hope this can easily be fixed with software update.

The battery durability is really good. Easy to use and it feels really nice to use. No more typos.

WindowsとMacの両方を使っているのですが、接続先を切り替えることが可能なので、一つのキーボードで完結します 遅延は気にならず、キーの押し込みが浅いところが気に入ってます また、日本では売っていない、USキー配列のlogiキーボードが欲しかったので、Amazonで買えてよかったです
