I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

In general, just as a wireless mechanic, the keyboard is excellent.
But as a gaming one, it’s probably not very good, because of the sloppy software and the lack of settings memory in the clave itself.
It is not clear whether this non-switchable and non-configurable "sleep" mode is necessary at all, my other Logitech wireless keyboards somehow worked without it for a year on batteries.
It is worth remembering that if you connect via Bluetooth, then the keyboard works only after the OS is loaded.
Well, it certainly is not quiet, ordinary membrane claves are quieter.

Pros

The keyboard itself is good, nice keys, clear pressing. For mechanics, not the loudest. There are two types of connection - Bluetooth and via the radio usb LIGHTSPEED controller (for some reason it is not indicated on the "market").

Cons

The main drawback is the software from Logitech. To save batteries, the keyboard "falls asleep" when not in use, and after the first press it wakes up and sends it to the computer, but when you press a key combination, the software recognizes only one of them (it is treated by unloading the software from memory or deleting it). Also, the software stores the settings of the programmable keys and the first time you press it, when the keyboard is "sleeping", the default value is executed, and not what is configured by the user! And this is no longer being treated, because. when the software is uploaded, the settings of these keys become the default. Moreover, in the mouse of the same series, the settings are stored in the memory of the mouse, but for some reason the memory was not installed in the keyboard. Well, for some reason, you can’t change the idle time to “fall asleep” in any way, but it “falls asleep” quickly, in a couple of minutes. Another minor drawback is the cheap, obnoxious multimedia buttons. If only they were made of rubber, otherwise they are made of hard plastic and dangle slightly when pressed.
