Review on Black Logitech K740 Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard 🖥️ with Laser-Etched Backlit Keys and Soft-Touch Palm Rest by Cody Bowie

The keyboard is interesting. Has all the keys for a good experience although they are close together and you will most likely have a lot of spelling mistakes and will also have a lot of problems with the caps lock key. The keyboard has great multimedia keys and is well configured. The backlight is perfect. There are many issues affecting many of your applications. One of them is the first problem, all the keys have to be close to each other. The next problem is that the Delete key spans two lines. So if you think you're doing something else, e.g. B. change the paste function, it turns out that you are deleting something. A big mistake switch that should never have been made in the middle group between the standard keyboard layout and the number key layout. Over time, the feel of the buttons can lead to poor communication between the button and the electronic switches underneath. You think you're pressing the keys correctly, even though those switches wear out (less than 6 months of use), typing and performance suffer. The older the keyboard gets, the worse the condition. And when it starts affecting the spacebar, you'll have to replace the entire keyboard with a new one. This is the first Logitech keyboard I've ever bought and it quickly deteriorated from day one of use. First one key, then another, and so on. It may take several weeks before you realize that the keyboard isn't working properly and you don't make a typo. There is a group called "Sleep Mode" in the star rating overview. This keyboard has no sleep mode. I have similar issues with their mice, so I think Logitech isn't the company that was once known for its quality keyboard and mouse products. I've had to replace several Logitech keyboards, some quite expensive ($100+), which failed within the first 15 months, and several mice whose batteries died quickly. I almost bought a battery-powered backlit keyboard instead of this keyboard, until I read the fine print that said the batteries would need to be replaced twice a week if I left the LED backlight on. Wow, that was a revelation. Instead, I opted for a keyboard with a long tail and a USB connector to get a backlight powered by a computer and real electricity. What I didn't expect was that I had to replace it sooner than expected. After looking at Logitech's product offerings, I should have realized that they haven't been updated with new versions in years. This usually indicates that the company is turning down the job because they cannot compete on pricing and maintaining high quality. So they cut the quality and like competitors only get worse.
