Review on Renewed Logitech K800 Wireless πŸ’‘ Illuminated Keyboard: Brighter, Better, and More Convenient by Ada Strzelczyk ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product does not match the description, poor quality.

The advantages of the keyboard are quite obvious, but, in my opinion, they are too superficial compared to the disadvantages. And the shortcomings come down mainly to the main thing - the quality, in fact, of typing on the keyboard. It suffered a lot compared to classic Logitech keyboards. Those who are accustomed to Logitech keys should know: this is a TOTALLY different keyboard! It seems that the designers of this and other similar new Logitech keyboards sought to bring them closer in everything to the painted on-screen keyboards. This resulted in awkward placement and shape of the keys and a barely audible, blurry click. The convenience of such a keyboard is not much higher than that of the on-screen one. My hands get tired of it, and quickly (I type a lot). Alas, in general, I consider the keyboard unsuccessful. : 1) I withdraw my comments on the battery capacity. Perhaps the battery needed some time to "come into condition". Now I rarely infect the keyboard. 2) I confirm, after only a few incomplete months of use, that the matte coating flies off the keys like powdered sugar. All frequently used keys are already partially bald.

Pros
  • + Backlight. Stylish and comfortable. Especially cool is that the backlight turns on when your hands approach the keys. + Aesthetic design. + Automatic installation of drivers from the adapter. Drivers, as usual with Logjitek, are excellent. + Wrist support. +Standard position and size of cursor keys. +Very resilient design, there is no laxity in the case (although the case itself is made of fairly flexible plastic). + Slightly reduced key size. +Built-in USB rechargeable battery.
Cons
  • -Inconvenient location of the keys - in the same horizontal plane, without a ladder at all. -Too short and soft keystroke. Unusual and uncomfortable. It's a pity. Well-dosed effort and a clear key travel have always been a strong point of Logitech keyboards. -Uncomfortable shape of the key surface: strongly smoothed ribs, too wide surface. In fact, this means that the distance between the keys is too small. There is not enough tactile information for confident pressing without touching neighboring keys. Perhaps this is partly a price for the reduced size of the keys. -Too quiet key clicks. Exacerbates the lack of feedback. -Very small left shift. - Rigid plastic under the wrists.
