Review on Logitech MX Keys Wireless Keyboard Black, English by Stanislaw Jastrzebsk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

After experiencing numerous good mechanics on cherry switches, I was looking for something understated and pleasing to the touch to counteract the monotony of vast text arrays. When searching for a scissor keyboard, I discovered that mx keys are the most common option. I won't go so far as to declare that I agree with the pricing philosophy that Logitech has adopted, but we will proceed under the assumption that the price is more heavily influenced by the difficulty of technology implementation than by advertising. The keyboard is not too thick, not too light, and not unpleasant to the touch. The keys have a lovely feel to them, and the engraving on them is of a great quality. The lighting is consistent for both the year 2022 and the English lettering. Establishing a connection to the receiver and bluetooth of a variety of devices happens rapidly, and there were no challenges encountered during the setup process. The printing of text seems really professional. Toys... what else can I say about them. In spite of this, the mechanics are strongly encouraged for use in games; the short key travel does not provide the same feelings from the game as the mechanics do. The overall rating is 4.5 out of 5. The keyboard meets all of our needs, however there are a few quirks that may use some work.

Pros
  • 1. Outward appearance and construction materials (metal). 2. A key travel that is both short and pleasurable, with no blowback 3. Quiet 4. Styles in Latin and Cyrillic (both the font and the quality of the letters on the keys are excellent; they are not inferior to Makovsky's in any way). 5. There is a wide variety of functions available via the FN key; it covers practically all of your requirements. 6. The ability to switch between devices with the press of a single button and without any lag time is an immensely helpful feature. 7. User-friendly computer programs 8. Connecting to Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Xbox consoles with virtually little configuration required (under Linux, solaar is used and can be configured by entering three commands into the terminal).
Cons
  • 1. Backlights, despite the fact that they are an advantage, are more of a negative in this particular scenario. It would be wonderful if it could be done statically. But because the guys have made the executive decision to conserve battery life, the backlight will only turn on when your hands are raised, and it will turn off as soon as you lower them. And application settings cannot be modified in any way. The problem is that the illumination takes a microsecond or two to switch on, which is a major inconvenience. The constant anticipation of having to turn on the backlight at work is a source of annoyance because hands are placed on the keyboard approximately once every ten seconds. It is possible to turn off the backlight entirely; however, the text on the keys is so faint that in low light conditions everything appears to be the same color. So it turns out that when you take a quick peek at the keyboard to start typing, even when you are blind, you don't see where to start. Because of this, a reflex expectation is established, which is to place your fingers on the keyboard, wait one hundred milliseconds, and then look at it and start typing. I have made an attempt to show how it seems owing to the backlight of the display and the low light in the photo that is attached. 2. Layout. Traditionally, a slight shift to the left, but for some reason, a massive escape. This causes the finger to continually confuse F1 and F2 (the escape is where F1 should be, and F2 is where F1 should be). 3. Important journey. It carries with it both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the stroke is brief and gentle, but on the other side, there is no distinct tactile input. To put it another way, pressing a key takes place in two stages: first, you exert force, and then you feel the forceful work of the spring pushing the key away from you. Classic scissors for laptops, although not in the same way that they are implemented in poppies. It is common knowledge that the potential uses for the key have been exhausted at this point. 4. No leg adjustability. Because the form factor does not permit you to perform such things, as a matter of habit, the fact that it is not critical does not mean that it is unimportant.
