Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

I have always been a supporter of Logitech products. I never stop keeping up with the news. Even while I do make occasional purchases of products made by other manufacturers, I usually end up coming back to Logitech. And after consistently purchasing brand new hardware, I continue to run into the same issues. The cool design and design ideas are ruined by problems in the reliability of the product as well as by tiny foolish jambs. And while it would appear that the warranty on gadgets is typically pretty lengthy, typically ranging from two to three years, for that amount of money I would like the equipment to last at least until the end of the guarantee without suffering any significant malfunctions.
Every time I purchased products from A4Tech, the devices I received were different, not because they were defective but rather because I wanted something different. However, Logitech gadgets have always been subject to modification as a result of malfunctions.
In general, the keyboard would be excellent for me if it did not have double-clicks, horrible keycaps, and the impossibility to buy them separately for an appropriate amount of money. However, this is not the case.

Pros

Compactness refers to the fact that the keyboard does not have any unnecessary protrusions or bells and whistles. On the table, it doesn't take up much room at all. Due to its large mass, the keyboard is able to sit very comfortably on the table. It is tough to move due to the big mass and the fact that the legs are strong. General rigidity - does not bend, does not creak. Massive and with a pleasant feel to it. Outstanding work was done on the key backlighting. Even though it is only one color, the lettering can be read perfectly both in English and in 2022 even when the light is very bright. Without a light like that behind the keys, I don't even know whether I'll be able to operate the keyboard. Traditional design featuring a lengthy shift and a sizable enter. Nice keystroke. I did not have any other mechanics, but in comparison to the membrane, it does not produce a much higher volume. Design looks awesome. Because of the design of the skeleton, the clave can be cleaned for a longer period of time without the keycaps being removed. However, at some point in time, you will be need to take it off in order to perform a more in-depth cleaning. Regarding the program, although I do not make extensive use of it, I would say that in general it is fairly standard and functional.

Cons

Disgusting keycaps. Even if you remove the keycaps with extreme caution using a specialized tool, there is a significant possibility that you will rip off the antennae on the keycaps. After that, it is only natural that people give up trying to hang on. In addition, you cannot purchase any of them separately. I was able to locate somewhere a whole set for a price that was equivalent to half that of the keyboard. After another year had passed, some users reported accidentally pressing the same key again, and the problem has only become worse since then. The warranty on my copy only covers a period of two years, which is unfortunate. However, despite its blasted appearance, the top plate is composed of brushed metal, which is notoriously difficult to clean. In addition to that, it has some quite pointed edges. The corner of the keyboard is one of the places where I occasionally contact the mouse, and as a result, there are quite a few scratches on the mouse. The fact that the backlight brightness settings cannot be saved to the keyboard memory is yet another significant drawback. Only at its brightest setting do I utilize the backlight, but unfortunately, it can only be used with the software that was originally installed.
