    Outstanding keyboard for the price

    Truthfully didn't have high expectations for this keyboard, as I've been very disappointed in my more recent Logitech hardware purchases, but I wanted a full mechanical keyboard and not some cheaply-built membrane keyboard that my very old-style, heavy-handed typing style would destroy in a couple of months. I am absolutely impressed with how smooth and well made the mechanical switches in the keys actually are. They contribute to this not only being a fluid and smooth mechanical keyboard, but an astonishingly quiet one considering the price. The only others I've found that are this pleasant to use have been significantly higher in price, and often feature all kinds of "bells and whistles" like LED light effects and "programmable" this and that meant to appeal to people far more impressed by smoke and mirrors than actual, reliable performance. Pleased to say this one stands up quite well to both my professional abilities of sustained typing at 120wpm, and my recreational use when I choose to indulge in playing video games that require accurate keyboard control.

    Tired of replacing keyboards for my wife

    I wanted a mechanical keyboard and this is definitely a mechanical keyboard. My wife learned to type on a mechanical typewriter. She wanted something that was similar to the IBM typewriter. With the membrane keyboards she often would not make contact. She then would have to go through redoing her password.

    A good keyboard, but a little noisy

    I purchased this keyboard because I wanted a keyboard with concave key tops to help keep my fingers in the right position while touch typing and I wanted a keyboard whose keys went down far enough when pressed to let me know that I have in fact pressed them. This keyboard provides both of these features. One problem I am having with it is that I occasionally accidentally press the <Enter> key while trying to press the pipe/backslash key, possibly because of the distance down that the keys press. The other problem is that it makes a fair amount of noise to type on this keyboard. A nice feature of this keyboard is that it has a <fn> key that when pressed with the F1 - F4 keys can activate a function of your choice such as putting the computer to sleep. It can also be pressed with F5 - F12 to do fixed things such as controlling your music.

    I have multiple Cherry keyboards at home and was tired of typing on a rubber dome at work. I wanted an affordable, professional mechanical keyboard. I hadn't liked the Romer switches in the past but these have nice feel to them. Spacebar balancing spring is a little odd but for like $40 you can't go wrong.

    Long time ago, I used PS2 type mechanical keyboard. I think only reason why I want to have this kind mechanical keyboard is the feeling of pressing each key. After then, I tried to buy a mechanical keyboard, but most of them are gaming keyboard with fascinating lights and EXPENSIVE. I am a programmer who works at the office cubicle. Then, no fascinating lights! I found this one with reasonable value and I trusted Logitech branch. One mistake is that I have no chance to try it with the display model. Unfortunately, no display model was available in BB stores. Around 70% satisfied; similar feeling of pressing keys, but softer than I expected. If you are looking for mechanical keyboard, they are not the same. Do not buy one unless you actually try it on display, and buy one you feel as what you are looking for.

    Replacing an ergonomic keyboard for my work station and decided to go back to a mechanical. Nice positive keystroke feedback and sound. Layout feels small due to the minimalistic design, but it is standard size. Missing the wrist support on this compact keyboard so a star off due to this personal preference.

    I love this keyboard. Simply put, it delivers what you would expect. High quality, looks great, and best of all the Solid Romer-G mechanical keys. Not to loud. I wish it was backlit though. I give it 5 Stars for price and quality.

    This is a decent middle of the road keyboard. The feel is pretty decent for the price, and the "G Switches" feel comparable to cherry switches. If you aren't looking for the rgb filled, cherry switch filled, expensive, keyboards out there, this is a good alternative.

    I bought this one because I needed a new keyboard for my new virtualization lab machine, but I found a couple spares in a box, so I returned this one. I might buy it again, just because I like it so much. What a nice keyboard. Much better than the membrane keyboards.

    The Logitech K840 is a great mechanical keyboard. The Logitech romer-g switches are perfect, with the tactile feel but quiet just like mx browns. One downside is that there are no rgb's or lights in the keyboard. And it also misses a numlock indicator light as it shows on the screen.

    There is something wonderful about the feel of a mechanical keyboard. With covid and working from home, this keyboard has been a life saver. Nothing worse then working on a laptop keyboard for more than a short period.

    My husband bought this because he was upset that I got a new keyboard and he didn't get one. He claims that mechanical keyboards are the best but all I hear is... ticka ticka tap tap tap ticka ticka tap. Thanks random person that suggested this. He loves it though...

    Only complain is one of they keys was jagged, so it would come off easily. I ended up fitting it upside down and that fixed the problem. This was the cheapest mechanical keyboard in store, so I don't complain.

    Bought this for work, as I wanted a mechanical keyboard that was similar to my G810 that I use at home. This fits the bill perfectly. Same type feeling, just no bells and whistles that you get from a "G" series Logitech

    Great for a non-gaming mechanical keyboard. If you want a very good mechanical keyboard without LEDs and macro buttons, and just want to type, this is that keyboard.
