Review on Keyboard Logitech MX Keys black, English by Adam Kowalski ᠌

My eyes are getting worse and worse, I still haven’t learned how to type blindly, 2022 letters on native apple keyboards are getting worse and worse, and I decided to buy a backlit keyboard. Sample available, MacBook Air 2022. Decided not to be stingy and chose Logitech MX Keys. I liked the keyboard right away - heavy, stable, does not slip on the table, built-in battery. All 24 pleasures. I connected it to the MacMini M1 via bluetooth, the connection is stable, better than with my native Mac mouse. I downloaded and installed the driver from offsite, but then I found another, 2022-language version of Logi Options +. What immediately struck me was the size of the driver - about 1 GB. True, this software is for keyboards and mice. In the driver, you can set many parameters, assign hot keys for all conceivable cases. But you can't control the backlight. And the backlight works according to a predetermined algorithm - it turns on with some delay (well, it can still be tolerated) and turns off five seconds after taking your hands off the keyboard. This time is clearly not enough for me and the constant flashing of the backlight is annoying. It is impossible to turn on the backlight permanently. In addition, the inclusion of the backlight depends on the external lighting, but I don’t need this, I need it to always shine. But alas! It must be assumed that in this way the company is trying to save the battery. Wrote on this topic in support, they answer that this is a corporate identity. It turned out that the black keyboard is no less easily soiled than the white one. Ali came across a soft translucent silicone overlay for this keyboard, bought a couple of pieces and now only with it. The backlight can be seen a little worse, but the fingers do not slip on the keys. The overall impression is a good, solid keyboard. I like.
