Review on Keyboard Logitech MX Keys black, English by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

Since I own a mouse, keyboard, and DFGT steering wheel from this company, you can see that there are more cons than advantages. However, logitech today (those with a new logo) is not the same company as before, and they no longer produce good peripheral for 20+ years. I got it specifically for this keyboard because I couldn't find any good alternatives to my Logitech K750, which I sadly gouged on purpose (and if I had been a bit more careful, I would have used it for 7 years, not including the 9 years that I already owned it). I wouldn't have written this review if it weren't for the MX KEYS color scheme; obviously, the person who created it wanted it to stand out against the interior's all-black decor. If this were a deliberate evil act, I would wish for him never to find peace in his life; if not, the designers at Logitech have now become abhorrent.

Pros
  • the keyboard's weight, the brand-new USB-C charging connector, the backlighting of the keys and indications of the operation of the capslock, and a big escape. overall structure
Cons
  • The buttons are close together, the f1–12 keys are not separated into groups of four (f1–f4 / f5-8, etc.), and all of the keys have a uniform profile (all are sunken to the center), which is terrible for touch typing. This is typically a gun, therefore there are no printscreen, pause, or insert keys. The number block could be created separate for such a price (and gorgeously magnetic from the side, let's say like the Applepensel 2), and there could be simultaneous charging. For that money, one could also find a way to get rid of the slots that dirt will inevitably get trapped in and that a pneumatic cleaner cannot readily remove, not to mention the obtrusive parasitic glow beneath the keys (keybands should glow, not the symbols).
