Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

For the first time, I discovered a keyboard that, both while using Mac OS and Windows, is superior to the native "Makov" in every way. At first glance, it appears to be pricey, but suddenly you realize that there is nothing comparable in terms of ease and functionality even for more money. As an alternative, Logitech Craft is available. I was planning to purchase it, but MX Keys, which is 1.5 times cheaper and does not include a "magic wheel" that I personally do not require, became available.

I'm really delighted with my purchase and would suggest it to anyone who works with text. This is the nicest keyboard I've ever used.

Pros

1. I use two computers at work, a Mac and a PC, and I frequently switch between the two. On occasion, the iPad serves as a "third" computer. Everything functions as described (up to a point; see drawbacks). Switching happens extremely immediately. Function keys, similar to the "Makov" external keyboard's native keys. Backlit batteries in this mode last roughly a week when used for 5-8 hours per day. 2. The keys have a nicer notch, no noise, and less annoying rattling than the Makovsky keyboard's native keys. Takes up little room and doesn't slide off the table. Beautiful, graceful, somewhat hefty, and comfortable to carry, move, or do so while on your knees. The buttons are accurately pressed while fingers literally "dance" across the keyboard. 3. Type-C charging from any adaptor, such as a phone or tablet, allows you to continue working while it is being charged. If the brightness dims and remains dim while the keyboard is functioning, it is time to "feed." The charge level can be seen in the native program, or you can infer it from the behavior of the backlight.

Cons

1. Bluetooth connectivity issues with Apple products (Macbook and iPad): initially, everything works as expected, but after about a month, the connection breaks and won't connect; pairing issues are resolved with a fresh connection. There are no issues while using a PC that is connected via an adapter. Maybe the Apple software is the issue. 2. The light emanating from beneath the keys can be seen if you approach the keyboard at an angle. Ugly. Without backlighting, the keys are quite pale, as this article correctly points out. This makes me uneasy. The backlight itself also functions in an extremely peculiar way; when the device is not in use, it turns off, and to turn it back on, you must reach your palm up to the upper edge, lightly touch the edge, or press any key. The sensor does not always function appropriately in the first scenario. Better still, if the operation mode could be independently chosen, such as "always on / by sensor / always off" (after a firmware update, the sensor started to function more effectively). 3. Logitech's software is typically of bad quality; for example, Options typically does not support high-resolution screens, everything is unstable on Windows, and I didn't even install it on a poppy. This company's peripherals have similar jambs before—wireless gaming mechanics had them initially, and they were considerably worse then.
