Review on Logitech Advanced Wireless Illuminated Keyboard Computer Accessories & Peripherals and Keyboards, Mice & Accessories by James Notti

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easily switch between 3 devices!

Incredible product! Aside from being a great keyboard with a responsive feel and great key feedback, the extra features make it a multitasking powerhouse! I've paired this (either Bluetooth or USB Unifying receiver) with my work laptop, my personal laptop, and my iPhone 11. It's amazing that during my workday I can quickly switch to my phone and send text messages and then swipe straight back to work mode. Media/function buttons (music, brightness control, etc.) also work on iPhone. All in all a perfect addition to my MX Ergo trackball. The only downside I have to mention is that the Bluetooth pairing doesn't stay connected when I restart my MacBook Pro. At home, my laptop sits on a vertical stand hidden behind the monitor, so every time I restarted, I had to take the laptop out to log back in using the built-in keyboard/trackpad. After logging in, the keyboard/trackball reconnects automatically. At first I thought it was a Mac issue, but then Logitech posted a support article on their website detailing the issue. It turns out that all you have to do is use a merging USB receiver to fix this problem. It doesn't really matter much, but it's a bit annoying having to do this and then pair the bluetooth when I'm on the go and don't want the receiver hanging out of a port on my laptop where it can catch something and damage my laptop. Logitech should be able to fix this with a software update, so I may have to revisit this review if that ever happens.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
