Review on ๐Ÿ”‘ Logitech Craft Wireless Keyboard with Input Dial & Backlit Keys, Dark Grey & Aluminum - Advanced Creative Tool by Vinay Rao แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

I bought it to comfortably work on a poppy and a PC, the keyboard does a great job with this. I chose between a model with and without a wheel, I decided to take it with a wheel. It is absolutely useless for me. In graphic editors, the wheel pitch is so small that there was no use for zoom or for any other tasks. The wheel has two modes, step-by-step and free torsion, apparently some kind of motor is responsible for this inside. In different applications, these modes are different, and I did not understand why, and when switching from one mode to another, the wheel makes a loud crunchy sound. It's scary every time. As a result, only the volume settings remained on the wheel. Customizing different wheel behavior for different applications also turned out to be a bad idea, because the brain forgets about contexts. For example, you are doing something in Figma or Photoshop, you want the sound to be quieter, you touch the wheel, and in your editor some other feature is assigned to the wheel. As a result, you have to switch to another application in which the wheel controls the sound and then back. Iโ€™m not used to functional buttons like a calculator or a screenshot, shortcuts are more convenient, you donโ€™t need to change the position of your hands and reach for the buttons. The upper metal strip is stupid, it just takes up space for the sake of the twist. In general, you can take Claudia without a wheel, you wonโ€™t lose anything, just save money.

Pros
  • Ability to work on Mac and PC! Nice plastic on the keys Quiet Heavy, stands on the table like a glove
Cons
  • It drains the battery in a couple of days, which is very sad. The cable lies on the table, so that if anything, then quickly plug it in. Every time I get scared when the wheel crunches
