Review on Keyboard Logitech MX Keys black, English by Janis Endzelins ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

For the first time I found a keyboard, which in all respects is better than the native "Makov" - both when working in Mac os, and in Windows. At first it seems that it is expensive, but then you suddenly discover that even for more money there is nothing similar in terms of convenience and functionality. The alternative is Logitech craft, I wanted to buy it, but then MX Keys came out, which is one and a half times cheaper and without a "magic wheel", which I personally do not need. The best keyboard I've ever had, very happy with the purchase, would recommend to anyone who works with text.

Pros
  • 1. I work with two computers - Mac and PC, I have to constantly switch between them, in addition, sometimes the "third" is the iPad. Everything works as stated (up to a certain point, see disadvantages). Switching is almost instantaneous. Function keys - as on the native "Makov" external keyboard. Used for 5-8 hours a day, backlit batteries in this mode last about a week. 2. The keys are more convenient than on the native Makovsky keyboard: a pleasant notch, no noise, infuriating rattling. Does not slip on the table, takes up little space. Beautiful, graceful, moderately heavy, while lifting / moving / on your knees - no discomfort. Fingers literally "dance" on the keys, accurately hitting the buttons. 3. Charging via Type-C from any adapter, like a phone or tablet, while you can work while charging. The charge level can be viewed in the native application, or you can understand by the backlight: if it turns off and does not turn on, while the keyboard is working, then it's time to "feed".
Cons
  • 1. A little strange work on bluetooth with Apple devices (Macbook and Ipad): at first everything is fine, but after about a month the connection breaks and refuses to connect, the pairing break and a new connection help. With a PC (connected via adapter) there are no problems. Perhaps the problem is in the Apple software. 2. If you look at the keyboard at an angle, you can see the light from under the keys. Ugly. Without backlighting, the keys, as rightly noted here, are very pale, I personally feel uncomfortable. The backlight itself also works very strangely: when idle, it goes out, and in order for it to light up, you need to bring your hand to the upper edge, lightly touch the edge or press any key. In the first case, the sensor does not always work correctly. It would be better if they made it possible to independently select the operating mode, for example, "always on / by sensor / always off" (with a firmware ate, the sensor began to work better). 3. Traditionally poor software from Logitech: Options does not normally support high-resolution screens, everything is buggy on Win, I didn’t even install it on a poppy. It’s not the first peripherals of this company that have such jambs, before that there was wireless game mechanics, so it was even worse there.
