Review on Logitech MX Keys Wireless Keyboard Black, English by Mateusz Bana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Because I despise being tethered to something by a cable, I only purchase electronic gadgets that are cordless and have Bluetooth connectivity. There is not an exemption made for the keyboard. The decision came down to either an Apple Magic Keyboard or a Logitech MX Keyboard for the most part. The lower cost and the presence of backlighting on the Logitech keyboard swayed my decision in favor of that brand over an Apple keyboard in black. The keyboard gave off the impression of being of high-quality, which pleasantly surprised me; I have high hopes that it will serve me well for many years to come. P.S. I am aware that every other person despises a short left shift, but if you use a PC device, this really shouldn't come as a surprise to you if you use a Mac. Since I started using Macs in 2022, I've become familiar with several different variations of keyboard shortcuts that can be used to manipulate the Mac axis. Since then, the keyboard shortcut command plus the button depicting a tilde, a comma, and square brackets, which is placed to the right of the left shift key, has become second nature to me. I try to use it whenever I can. Therefore, pressing this combination toggles between all of the windows that are currently open within a single application. For instance, if you have many Excel files, Word documents, or several windows in the browser, such as normal and incognito, this combination will switch between all of those windows in turn. Because of my line of work, I frequently have to work in Word and Excel at the same time with a big number of documents. As a result of the frequency with which I employ this combination, the one button that allows me to do so is not present on the American keyboard layout; consequently, I am forced to use the rst button on the Apple device. After experimenting on this keyboard while Windows was running, I came to the conclusion that the keyboard has a ridiculously high number of bugs, and I would not recommend using it for Windows. I do not change the number of balls from five to four because I took one for poppy. But to be fair, I believe Windows is to fault, which is strange because I haven't reinstalled it since 2022 (but that's another tale).

Pros
  • 1) In the full-size version, the numerals are grouped together on the right. 2) The existence of illumination, in contrast to the keyboards offered by Apple. 3) The engraving of keys for the Windu and Poppy systems respectively. Because I use Android for 99 percent of my computing needs and a laptop running Windows for 1 percent, I consider this to be a useful tool that I can use in the event that I need to reflash the router or do something similar. I also have a poor memory when it comes to the placement of the Windows keys. 4) I have not yet tested it with a second laptop, but based on the reviews of other products, I believe that it will function effectively when switching between multiple laptops by pressing a single button. 5) Weight, the keyboard is quite substantial, which prevents it from moving around on the table and gives the impression that it is made of quality material. 6) The keys have a pleasant sound, and I would also say that the keyboard is relatively quiet—at least in comparison to the Makovsky model, which has a feel that is fairly comparable to this one. 7) Function keys for the brightness and volume that do not require the use of an additional fn key. Because Spotify is a program that is incorporated into the Mac operating system, the track switching and start/stop buttons only function when the Spotify application is installed. 8) Short left shift and a button next to it; I will explain why I consider this to be a benefit for me in the comments section. 9) The initial connection was simple and quick; all I had to do was switch it on, and it began blinking to indicate that it was searching for a connection. As soon as I made the connection, it started functioning normally. 10 In the event that the battery becomes less effective, it is possible to replace it without assistance. 11) It's a stunning view.
Cons
  • 1) The Logitech Options application for Poppy does not have support for the year 2022. No, that's not a huge issue at all, but considering that Windows already supports the year 2022, I find it odd that it doesn't support it here. 2) There are notches on the keys; perhaps I am being overly picky, but I don't see why they are necessary. Perhaps it is just a matter of habit, but it seems to me that this is an inconvenience that is not really necessary. 3) Backlight, its presence is a major plus, but it is not properly executed, despite the fact that its presence is a huge plus. For instance, if you were typing something and your hands were lingering over the keyboard, the backlight would not immediately turn out; rather, it would give you more time to consider what you were typing. You want to type more, but the sensor does not work, and it thinks that you have removed your hands a great distance away, so it does not light up until you contact the key. Other times, however, it does not function as it should, and for instance, it might not recognize hands and switch off the lighting. The fact that you can't make the backlight stay on permanently in the settings is perhaps the most significant drawback of the keyboard. 4) If you are sitting in a chair that reclines, you will be able to see the light; but, if the table lamp is switched out, the light will shine in an unpleasant manner in the total darkness. 5) This is more of a personal preference, but I think it would be nice if the keys had a larger surface area, closer spacing between them, and notches on them. Currently, the user's fingertips constantly end up on the key's edge, which makes the tactile experience less than ideal. 6) Most likely its price; I purchased it at a nearby store for 7,750 points, which I had acquired over time. Therefore, the price range is approximately 9,000 to 10,000. 04/27/21 In order to use Windows 7, it was necessary to connect this keyboard to a computer. Something bad happened to Windows, and the backlight on the keyboard sometimes shut off and occasionally did not turn on at all, even when typing; the only thing that helped was turning the keyboard on and off. The symbols were not periodically pressed, or vice versa; rather, they were clamped spontaneously on their own, as if cntrl had been pressed or something similar. In general, the hot keys in the browser and programs were problematic. Only starting with a whistle worked, as opposed to using bluetooth. There are a lot of unfavorable comments from people who use Windows, which indicates that all of this is accurate! On the poppy, none of the concerns that were stated were present at all.
