For me, the best keyboard. Full stop.
In almost 40 years of professional IT, I have tried out many keyboards. Among others, the legendary IBM Model M and the identical Unicomp that I still own today, various Microsoft Ergonomics, Logitech K800. All of them quite ok. But all topped now by this one. Great palm rest (adjustable in 3 steps), great mechanics, layout for 10-finger typists can be used immediately and perfectly without getting used to it.
If I had to look for disadvantages with a magnifying glass: Logitech asks during installation if you agree to send "Analytical Data" to Logitech and later asks for personal registration. Sorry, it's a keyboard and I don't join a club for that, and the manufacturer only gets Analytical Data in the event of a defect. But this downer doesn't bother me, you don't have to agree to it.
And the keyboard illumination of a (also good) K800 would still be useful to me, even as a 10-finger typist.
Conclusion: For me, the best keyboard. Thanks to Logitech. You make my day.Pro
- 3-position height-adjustable palm rest
- Unified USB Receiver can be shared by up to 6 Logitech products
- Layout very well suited for 10-finger typists (much better than Microsoft Sculpt)
Contra
- Keys not illuminated
Great part with CH keyboard - it was worth the wait
Received this keyboard today: really has CH layout as usual!
Finally I can dispose of my ergonomic Logitech Comfort Cordless Keyboard.
For people who know the 10 finger system a hit.
The negative points are "complaining on a very very high level".
- after a few weeks, one adjustable foot already had a fatigue fracture. Otherwise, I am still satisfied and enjoy the switch to Bluetooth for cell phonesPro
- much quieter than the old keyboard (no more rattling)
- programmable keys
- hand rests much softer
Contra
- keys arranged slightly different: but I'll get used to it quickly
- Multimedia additional keys of the old keyboard only indirectly usable when using the function keys
runs great under Linux
The fact that you can easily operate several devices with it is great. One keystroke and you are from the Linux PC with Unifying Receiver to the laptop with Bluetooth. No backlight is not a disadvantage but an advantage. a) no one who writes with 10 fingers needs that and b) it saves a lot of battery. And exactly these are normal and not a battery, i.e. you can put in what you want and do not have to charge the keyboard with a cable. In addition, there are no battery defect discussions. The wait was worth it, and yes, you can moan a bit about the price, but hey.... ;-)
Pro
- high-quality
- 1 x Unifying for mouse and keyboard
- low key drop
- pleasant volume
- versatile keys for Mac Linux Win
- 3 devices controllable
- normal batteries
Very good keyboard, but short life
I have been using the keyboard privately for a little over 2 years and we have 2 others in use at work.
For me, it is currently the best wireless, ergonomic keyboard with CH layout available. Full stop.
But... the lettering on the keys flakes off after about 1 year on all the keyboards in my environment. It's a shame. I use my copy at home regularly but for 1-2 hours a day at most. My keyboard still looks perfect after more than 2 years, but the lettering has suffered.
One of the keyboards in the company is just under 1.5 years old (with 8 hours of use per weekday) and has suffered VERY badly. The lettering on many keys has completely disappeared and the matt surface of the keyboard has worn away, making the keys shiny. It looks very unappetising. The palm rest of this keyboard has also become discoloured.
My suggestions for improvement to Logitech:
- Improve the quality of the keycaps (!!!).
- The keyboard should be able to be used with or without the palm rest.
- The palm rest should be replaceablePro
- Ergonomic
- Basically good workmanship
- Connects to multiple devices
- Wireless
- Batteries last a very long time
Contra
- Quality of keys/keycaps not good (lettering flaking off)
- Palm rest cannot be removed
- Hard to clean
- Poor durability
Ergonomic keyboard (usable after a little trick)
I use this keyboard together with the mouse: logitech MX Master 3 (see my rating for it).
Unfortunately, the keyboard cannot be used with pure plug & play. Even if the desired apps were activated in the logitech options+, the F keys do not behave as usual.
Trick: Press "ESC" + "FN" keys at the same time, then the F keys should work as usual in the various apps! (After a long Google search I discovered this hint. Thanks for it!)
I find it a bit strange that only the palm rest can be raised, but not the keyboard (as with other logitech models).Pro
- Ergonomics
- for up to 3 PC/Mac
- Important for me: separate number pad
Contra
- no pure plug & play (see trick)
- only the palm rest can be set higher.
Nice keyboard
10/10 will hit the qrong key :D
Pro
- Very comfy
Contra
- Nothing
