Review on Logitech Backlit Mechanical Keyboard Passthrough by Stanislaw Banasiuk ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

What a fantastic keyboard for the price! Simple, easy on the eyes (I know, not for everyone) layout. The keys are soft to the touch and illuminated well. First mechanism I've ever used (previously, I'd only seen them in the hands of friends or upper management), I upgraded from a hybrid (scissor-membrane) and barely noticed a difference in performance. Touch typing allows me to type this on a brand new clave with no effort. If you had to find something wrong with it, it's that this clave is much noisier than its scissor-membrane analogues. Because I have a nice rug under the table, I don't experience the metallic ringing that is described here. However, major keys like the space bar have returned and can be heard rattling. Furthermore, it is extremely challenging to fully and comfortably enter lengthy phrases on this clave due to the "skeleton" style. Really, I'm exhausted. But if you're getting this for gaming, be prepared to feel the difference with its 1.5mm step response and full 3mm of travel. When using headphones, none of the negatives are noticeable because the keys don't make any noise. Note: The mechanics are not a viable option if you prefer to play late at night with your family still in the house. Aside from that, go for it; you won't be sorry.

Pros
  • Visual appeal, usability, and LED intensity of the backlight. Moreover, holy cow, it's Logitech!
Cons
  • This is the quietest machinery I've ever encountered, but it's still really noisy.
