Review on Logitech MX Keys Wireless Keyboard Black, English by Wiktor Niekrasz ᠌
There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.
I needed a new battery-operated keyboard to use with my Macbook and external display, so I picked this one up. I sold it a week later and was relieved. The keyboard isn't terrible, of course. It has various benefits and is highly advanced. However, she is neither here nor there after using plastic-cased Magic Keyboards for ten years and mechanical keyboards for twenty. Each has its own story, pros and cons. To me, it's glaringly clear that the casing is made of plastic (it's made of a lot of plastic). It's a welcome change after using the Magic Keyboard. However, MX keys are very pricey, being more so than a medium MK and just slightly less so than a large MK. MK-style aluminum claves can be had from other manufacturers (Satechi, for instance) for much less money. And for some reason Logitech started flashing. Logitech, if you're going to make a minimalist keyboard, please make it completely minimalist. If you want to enter your precious branding somewhere else, you'll have to find another excuse for this dumb expansion over the Fn keys. He's the finishing touch that, together with plastic, completely nullifies any sense of elegance or minimalism. Sad to say. As I already mentioned, the keys wadded up. Yes, peace and quiet. Moreover, they have far higher mobility than MK. It turns out that there is a midway alternative that is, honestly, worse than both the membrane and low-profile mechanisms in terms of performance. It's simply a matter of routine. Of course, I'm used to being lucky. For Mac users specifically, I'd like to point out that the availability of key remapping software and the ability to copy files and text between computers is not a killer feature, as both are already possible with the help of the excellent BetterTouchTool and Sharemouse utilities. With BTT, any keys and their combos are remapped to any keyboard, and with Sharemouse, any mouse and keyboard can be connected to several computers and files can be copied between them.
- The existence of proprietary software and the option to remap multimedia (Fn) controls; full compatibility with poppy and Windows; dual-layout buttonsKeys that can be remapped in software; the ability to connect to three devices at once through Bluetooth; the availability of four additional keys above the number block (screenshot, etc.); Strong and hefty design, silent, soft touch keys; synchronization with their own MX Master mouse; ability to copy and paste text and files between computers Type-C charging and a long-lasting battery (five to six months without the screen's lighting) Shadows and light from behind
- Despite its sturdy construction, this is composed of plastic. A lot of reviewers make it sound like it's metal when it's not. - A clear "evil" key travel on the Magic Keyboard makes the MX Keys feel like a toy if you've gotten used to wadded key travel. The same cotton as any membrane clave for 1000r; notches under the fingertips in the keys are neither a benefit nor necessary; using them slows down typing. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a new innovation from Logitech; keyboards like this have been on the market previously. I also don't think it's a benefit for Claudia's overall visual appeal. - Dumb, top-mounted plastic strip bearing the Logi logo - Do not trust the official site's photographs since the backlight is uneven and done on the rear, and it leaks in spots; also, there is no other sort of fastening for the legs and port.
