The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

The gamer bought the keyboard to play first-person shooters and use it in front of a TV. Since it is not appropriate as serious gaming equipment, it will only be used in the second scenario.

The main issue is the strong backlash of the buttons and the long key travel; when pressing a key with a finger on which it was not lying, part of the movement is spent on moving the button to the side, and only then will it squeeze down, and its stroke is long; all this adds to the reaction speed of 20-25ms; in principle, it is uncomfortable to press buttons that play so much; pressing as a result turns out to be unaccented.

The tactile switches on your keyboard may be the subject of some lovely but confusing graphs on the logitech website. If you push the key, it seems like a spring is compressing it by about 20% (enough to sense a tiny resistance), and if you let go, it springs back to its original position. The advantage of these switches, it seems to me, lies in this rebound; you can release the pressed button a little faster (for example, when walking WASD), while the disadvantage lies in the resistance that prevents you from rapidly pressing the button repeatedly (you won't be able to strafe in place super fast, and your fingers will start to get tired because of - for this resistance). If we're talking about competitive games, I still think linear systems are the way to go.

In short, this is a gorgeous premium keyboard that is absolutely unfit for effective use in games and will make frequent typing a chore.

Pros

Lovely, everything shines The keyboard is multifunctional because it supports both Bluetooth and USB connections. In theory, tactile mechanisms provide for smooth and silent key travel, but in practice, this is not always the case (see comments) - no noticeable lag due to wireless operation - works properly from a receiver distance of up to 3 meters (at least the reaction test gives the same result as when clicking the mouse with a poll of 1000hz)

Cons

- horrible lateral key backlash, as on a $100 keyboard I used 20 years ago. Good opportunities for reassigning the functionality of the buttons, but for some reason you can only reassign the f1-f12 keys. Fairly long key travel. Bad for reaction time. It's no good for gaming because using it requires an awkward reach. Because of the keyboard's tiny side borders, it can be difficult to pick it up without accidentally touching a key. While the volume roller spins smoothly, it can be easy to knock when typing on the keyboard when it is resting on a flat surface other than a table.
