I like it, thank you for the quality product.

This is the first keyboard I've used that outperforms the built-in "Makov" on both Mac OS and Windows. It may appear pricey at first, but after giving it some thought, you'll likely come to the conclusion that nothing else offers as much value for the money. When Logitech craft first came out, I was going to get it, but then MX Keys came out and it was twice as inexpensive and didn't have the "magic wheel" that I didn't find useful.

This is the nicest keyboard I've ever used, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Pros

First, I have to continually switch between my Mac and PC computers, and my iPad becomes the "third" computer at times. Everything does what it's supposed to (within limits; see drawbacks). Almost instantly, you may make the change. Like the internal "Makov" keyboard, function keys are an optional add-on. If the backlight is on for 8 hours a day, the battery should last for around a week. The keys have a nice notch, are silent, and rattle less than the standard Makovsky keyboard. Doesn't move around much, and it doesn't slide off the table. Elegant and not too hefty to cause any discomfort whether lifting, bending over, or kneeling. The fingers seem to "dance" across the keyboard, deftly pressing each button. Third, working while charging through Type-C from any adapter, such as a phone or tablet. You may check the charge status in the app itself, or just observe the keyboard's lighting to determine when it's time to "feed" the device.

Cons

Somewhat odd bluetooth behavior with Apple products (Macbook and iPad): everything works great at first, but after about a month, the connection breaks and refuses to connect. Problems cease to exist when a personal computer (through an adapter) is used. Perhaps there's a bug in the Apple program. Second, the keyboard's backlight is visible if you tilt your head slightly. Ugly. I wouldn't feel at ease typing without some sort of backlighting, as pointed up here. The backlight itself has a peculiar mechanism: it turns off when you're not using it, and you have to move your hand to the top edge, lightly touch the edge, or press a key to turn it back on. The sensor in the first scenario does not always function properly. It would be preferable if the operation mode could be independently selected, such as "always on / by sensor / always off" (after a firmware update, the sensor performed better). Logitech's software is notoriously shoddy; I wouldn't trust it on a poppy, and the company's default settings don't work with high-resolution displays. This company's wireless game mechanics had the same problems before they released their latest set of peripherals, so you can imagine how bad it is now.
