Customer Ratings & Reviews

The material appears very sturdy. The slight indentation in each key makes typing a very enjoyable experience. I haven't even gotten around to using it's software specific features (i.e. the "Crown") but that didn't stop me from buying a second one for work. It's on the expensive side for a keyboard but I don't mind paying for quality.

This is hands down one of the best keyboards I have ever owned. The keyboard immediately feels high quality, like the designers wanted it to feel like no corners were cut and that every attention to detail was made. The keyboard is charged via the USB-C connection and charges quickly from my desktop PC. The universal USB wireless connector supports different Logitech devices and so I only needed one even though I also use a Logitech mouse too. I dual boot with two different Windows 10 builds and unlike regular Bluetooth devices, the keyboard and mouse work within both Windows 10 installs as well as the UEFI BIOS for the ASUS motherboard.

The Logitech Craft is by far the most ambitious keyboard I've ever used. Featuring a unique input dial, the Craft aims to give you immediate access to tools within productivity apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In addition, the Craft is constructed with heavy and durable materials that give a premium look and feel. The functionality and build quality of the keyboard are incredible, but these things have come with a cost. Here's my take. PROS: - Easy setup and management. The Logitech Options app walks you through the setup procedure and shows you tutorials on how to use the dial with Microsoft Office programs, Adobe Creative Suite programs, and web browsers. If you already have a Logitech wireless device, you can simply add the keyboard to your existing Logitech receiver. - Solid, premium build quality. The keyboard must weigh over 2 pounds. Keys are very sturdy and quiet with no wobble. The aluminum finish of the keyboard with easily blend in with many high-end computers and monitors. - Tons of dedicated shortcut buttons, including those for window management, screen brightness, calculator, and screenshot. - The keyboard's backlighting is beautiful and very functional. It's paired to proximity and ambient light sensors. In dark rooms, the backlighting turns on as soon as your fingers approach the keys. In brighter rooms, the keyboard knows to reduce the backlight intensity. - The dial takes some getting used to, but once you master it, it's a huge productivity booster. I use it mainly in Word and Excel. In Word, you can easily change font size or alignment by simply selecting text and turning the dial. In Excel, you can instantly create a chart or navigate through multiple workbook sheets. It's not immediately obvious that the top of the dial is touch-sensitive: to change the function of the dial within apps, you need to swipe left and right on the dial until the desired function is selected. CONS: - There are no feet to adjust the angle of the keyboard, so it will stay mostly flat on your desk. This gives a sleek look, but for me, causes some discomfort after a couple of hours of typing. - Battery life is not great. According to Logitech, the battery will last about 1 week with typical usage. If you turn off the backlight, you'll probably be able to get a few more days. - The keys are sturdy, but they don't have much travel. My fingers seem to bottom-out a little too quickly for my taste. The keys are concaved inward rather deeply which can also be distracting. - No wrist rest. The keyboard ends at the spacebar, and because it's stuck at a flat angle, your wrists will likely have to wrest on the desk in front of you. - The functionality of the dial is limited right now. Hopefully Logitech will add more supported applications and functions going forward. OVERALL: Can the Craft keyboard increase productivity? Absolutely -- the dial is a great concept that creative professionals will adore. Even business users of Word and Excel, like me, will find it very useful. But the sub-par typing comfort is the real hindrance of this keyboard. To be sure, this is not the keyboard I would use to write an entire novel. Such users will find better value in a cheaper mechanical keyboard. But those who spend a lot of time in the programs supported by the Craft's dial will find a lot to love about this keyboard. Recommended!

On a positive note the keyboard has buttons to choose between my 2 laptops and desktop computer TOTALLY at the press of 1 button. Great! I am a hunt and peck typer and the keyboard is sluggish. I use a Logitech trac ball and have to move it away from the keyboard as the keyboard interferes with it. They are on the same Logitech receiver, which saves USB ports on my laptops. The knob, which I use for zooming (Old eyes), also is sluggish. I HAVE NOT used the knob with any of the other options for all the MS office programs so I would keep in mind this review IS NOT all encompassing and using two receivers may solve the sluggish issue. Changing options with the keyboard is easy.

I was ready to shell out $200 for the surface wireless keyboard and dial, but then I started reading about the craft. For my workflow, the craft dial is everybit as functional, and better located, than the surface dial would be. Also, the craft has a beautiful backlight, is rechargable, and just gives a great crisp and tactile feel. I personally loved the keyboard on my Lenovo Y500, but it's long gone. I hated typing on expensive gaming keyboards, so I looked into getting a premium keyboard that would give me a similar experience. Did not disappoint. This keyboard feels better, marginally, than the Y500's did, and it is appreciably better than the already good keyboard by Surface Book 2 has. Ultimately I would type on the SB2 even with external monitors because my gaming keyboard was just a horrific typing experience. I would like to see better backlight control, it's ridiculous that the keyboard itself cannot switch on and off the backlight; but that's such a small issue for me.

VERDICT: Great build quality with minor design trade-offs, an above average typing experience, and unique hardware features make this a great wireless keyboard for the creative user with multiple multiplatform devices. PROS: - Really solid sturdy design - Platform agnostic and “Easy-Switch” keys - USB – C - Backlight - Firm springy keys CONS: - Crown software could be more versatile and powerful - Short 1 week battery life - Keyboard angle not adjustable FULL REVIEW: Overall with the design of this keyboard I was initially very intrigued. First off, the keyboard is pretty heavy for how big it is. There is an aluminum bar that runs along the top which presumably houses the batteries as well and you definitely feel that weight across the entire keyboard which is great because it makes the keyboard feel solid and well built. This also means that it’s going to add some weight to your bag if you ever wanted to take this keyboard on the go. Overall the design is both modern and attractive, and it’s sure to blend and fit into any computer setup. I do wish it came in a silver aluminum and white color option in addition to the gunmetal and black design. The keyboard has a built in rechargeable battery with a USB type-C connector (yes!). I can’t vouch personally for the battery life, but I imagine it will be pretty close to the 1 week Logitech advertises. Presumably this is due to the backlit keys so you can probably do better if you don’t care for the backlight and disable it. The keyboard connects via Bluetooth and Logitech also includes a universal USB wireless adapter if you want to pair multiple Logitech devices. The keyboard layout itself is platform agnostic, having all the keys for both Mac and Windows, which is a little overwhelming in terms of key labeling clutter, but overall a nice feature if you have both Apple and PC products. Logitech also includes some handy keys to quickly switch between multiple devices which is nice if you’re a user who has several computers/devices. As for the typing experience itself, I would have to rate it as above average. Logitech has put shallow dips on many of the keys which they say improves typing accuracy and while they do take some getting used to, I actually find them very comfortable. The keys have slightly better travel from what you might find in a high end laptop and they feel pretty firm and have a nice spring to them. No doubt once you’ve spent at least a week with the keyboard you will be confidently typing away your emails, reports, and documents with ease. Unfortunately, there is no way to change the angle of the keyboard, but the bar at the top is slightly offset and gives it a pretty comfortable angle at roughly 18 degrees. Now for the most intriguing part of this keyboard – the dial or ‘Crown’ as Logitech calls it. The idea is basically to provide you with a dynamic alternative input method that you can use for your favorite editing and creativity applications. This is contextual, so selecting the brush in Adobe Photoshop will give you options to change the thickness, selecting text in MS Word will allow you to change the style and font size. In practice it works pretty good, but especially in this case it’s something you will have to get used to using since most keyboards or setups have nothing like it. Overall in the apps that I use it in (Chrome, Photoshop, Illustrator) I felt like the value proposition presented by Logitech, that it adds an extra valuable dimension to my workflow, lives up to the hype with some exceptions. I do think that the software could use some work and I wonder if Logitech would have been better off taping Windows 10’s native dial support. Not to say that Logitech’s software can’t reach that level, but I believe that there is greater software potential for a unique and powerful experience here. Logitech does search your computer when you install their software and will match up crown profiles with your apps which is handy. Also, if you have an app that isn’t included, you can configure your own settings which is very handy as well, but won’t have the same contextual in app flow as Logitech’s profiles. All things considered, Logitech has put in some major work to make this dial feel like it belongs on the keyboard and isn't a science project, and it really shows in the profile apps you'll use it in.

Pros Backlit keyboard with proximity sensor Backlight is adjustable Sturdy build, has a plastic shell but metal spine Indentations on keys help make keys distinct Has Windows and MacOS keyboard markers Compatible with multiple OSes Stores 3 different and switchable connection profiles Offers Bluetooth as well as unifying receiver Scissor keys have better feedback than chicklet keys Built in, rechargeable battery USB-C cable Profiles available for popular software and switch automatically Additional profiles application profiles can be created Cons Backlight cannot be set to auto off when room is lit Shorter key travel makes for an abrupt bottom stop No included profiles for lesser applications Profiles created manually have limited options Function keys beside space bar have dual Window/Mac text making them confusing Lately it seems many new devices that have come out have a focus on the creative types. Of course, most of the devices are expensive and more geared towards people with a large amount of funds towards a single purpose device. Although not necessarily cheap, the Logitech Craft keyboard seems intended to bring the functionality to more of the everyday person by adding functionality. The Logitech Craft in no way feels cheap, beginning with the box. It is still distinctly Logitech but more premium than the regular offerings. When you first see it, you will notice the satin gray metal finish at the top of the keyboard holding the crown. You might be forgiven for thinking it is just metal colored plastic but rest assured, it is really metal. This begins very apparent when you feel its weight. The main part of the keyboard is plastic but according to the specifications it is strengthened by the metal spine. The keyboard is thin but feels very sturdy. There is no battery tray because it includes an integrated, rechargeable battery that connects via USB-C. The keys include a backlight with a proximity sensor so they don’t turn on until you place your hand over the keyboard. Hopefully this helps improve battery life because, although you can manually turn off and adjust brightness of the backlight, it currently isn’t smart enough to know to not turn on in a brightly lit room. The website says the backlight adjusts to changing light conditions so hopefully this is just a software issue to be corrected in a future update and the keyboard will recognize it doesn’t need to turn the backlight on in a bright room. The keys are not much higher than chicklet style keys but with more travel due to Logitech’s scissor design. The travel and feel is unique to Logitech, quiet and smooth with a bit of spring but a good amount of travel that ends with a dull thump at the bottom of travel. If you like the feel of mechanical keyboards but don’t appreciate the loud clatter they produce, this might be just your type. Oddly, after a short time of using this unit the space bar has a distinct squeak when depressed. None of the other keys made this sound so hopefully this is just an oddity of this unit. Overall, be prepared for the more limited travel. An interesting design feature is the tops of the keys are cupped. It might at first seem odd but with use it helps you feel exactly where you have hit the key. As with all keyboards, there is an adjustment period as one gets used to the specific spacing and overall placement of the keys but the cupped tops almost seem to help correct and shorten that adjustment period. The main differentiating feature of this keyboard over other offerings is the what logic refers to as the crown. It is a rotating knob not unlike a volume not on a stereo. In fact, depending on where you are in the OS it can serve as a volume knob. Calling it a volume control would be oversimplifying things. It is clickable, rotates, and is touch sensitive. By default, pressing down and turning adjusts the computer volume. In programs where multiple functions are available you touch the dial to change modes and then turn it to change settings. There are default profiles available for more popular software packages such as Office, Photoshop CC, Edge, and Chrome. You can create custom profiles for other applications but options are more limited than the ones from Logitech. Profiles from Logitech include a tutorial which make using them easier. An example use is in Microsoft Word. A light tap on the crown brings up a menu with Theme Style, Theme Color, and Theme Font. To select a mode just tap again to highlight the mode you want and then turn the dial to make the adjustment. Changes will be made immediately allowing you to quickly compare changes without clicking through menus. Just spin the dial and you can easily see the effect and choose the one you like. The greatest number of options are included if you use Adobe creative products such as Adobe Photoshop where you can adjust things such as brush size or brightness. It would be great if profiles for more affordable software, such as Photoshop Elements or even video editing apps such as Sony Vegas, were available. The crown could make an excellent video scrubber without needing to purchase any special accessory. Hopefully Logitech sees this opportunity and has plans to continue or at the very least expands the options for custom profiles. Until then, it is still a great keyboard that adds extra functionality without taking up any more space and requiring something else to charge or change batteries. If you are in the market for a new premium keyboard and would like a more creative focused option you might give the Logitech Craft Wireless keyboard a look.

I've used the Logitech Craft wireless keyboard for two months now, and I've just decided to go back to my wired mechanical keyboard. Obviously, I'm not one of those "mechanical keyboard or bust" fanatics, else I wouldn't have bought this Logitech in the first place. It's an extremely high-end looking keyboard, and many of the features are fairly brilliant. The tactile feel of the keys is somewhere between a MacBook and a mechanical keyboard. I quite liked it, but it's an entirely subjective call. You'd need to try one out for yourself and decide if it's up your alley. The dial in the upper left was a nice enough idea, but I found myself not using it for anything other than a giant volume knob. I do most of my work in Premiere Pro, and the default function for it there is to scrub through the timeline, but that's not particularly helpful. Those working in Photoshop frequently might have more use for it for adjusting brush sizes, perhaps. The dual-purpose function keys, I absolutely hated. My old keyboard had dedicated media keys (previous, next, stop, play/pause) and dedicated F keys. The Logitech combines them, presumably in the interest of saving space. But at the cost of convenience. I could never quite get used to that. Logitech's Flow functionality worked brilliantly, in my experience. I work primarily on a PC, but I also have a MacBook Pro. It was great being able to pair the Craft keyboard with both the PC and the Mac (along with the Logitech wireless mouse I've also just decided to quit using) and switch between devices instantaneously. However, it's pretty rare that I use both devices simultaneously with enough switching between them to make it a big deal. For any users who DO use two devices at the same time a lot, this is your keyboard, no doubt. My chief complaint with the keyboard was the battery life. I work from home, mostly doing video editing in a darkened room (which is why I insist on illuminated keyboards) for several hours a day. I was never able to get more than three days on a single charge with this keyboard. The first couple of times I got the low battery warning, I just plugged it in to start charging and continued to work (you can still use it while it's plugged in and charging). Eventually, I just started leaving it plugged in constantly. That sort of negates the purpose of a *wireless* keyboard. In the end, combined with my dissatisfaction with the Logitech wireless mouse I got to go along with the Craft, I've decided to just shelve them both and go back to my old wired USB devices. Mechanical keyboards are perhaps less sexy (even with the full RGB setup I've got), but they're solid and dependable, I suppose. PROs * Beautiful looking keyboard * Logitech Flow is great for users of multiple devices * The dial has a great feel and might be useful to some users * The tactile quality of the keys is nice (subjective) CONs * Battery life is laughable * Laughably overpriced

The Logitech Craft keyboard is a unique keyboard. It brings multiple connection options, a premium scissor switch, high quality backlighting, and a productivity knob in a thin and substantial feeling package. First of all, how does it function as a keyboard? Well, since most of us type on our keyboards, I decided to give it a typing test. I generally type around 75 WPM give or take 5%. The iPad Pro typepad I was able to score around 67 WPM, my Thinkpad’s keyboard I generally get around 80 WPM, and about the same for my Cherry MX Brown keyboard. The Craft keyboard I was able to clock in at my all time high of 88 WPM. I think this is partly attributable to the shape, texture and height of the keyboard and ease of key depress. Logitech does have something special here if you’re a touch typer that has grown up on mobile keyboards. I’m a mechanical switch keyboard fan, so this is high praise for a scissor switch. The actuation force for each key seems just about perfect. There is adequate key travel as well, but once you hit the actuation point the key bottoms out. If you someone who types lightly or with exceptional force this keyboard is comfortable either way. Best of all, in a professional environment this keyboard is extremely quiet. The loudest noise I ran into was the squeak of the space bar, which was annoying when compared to the rest of the keyboard. This is probably an anomaly with my unit. The backlighting is pretty impressive as well. There are 15 levels, and you can step through and they can go quite dim all the way to blindingly bright. The backlight is adjustable using F6/F7 in the function key row. Unfortunately there is no auto brightness here, but the keyboard makes up for that via proximity sensor that only enables the backlight when your hands are present. This is a pretty unique feature and improves battery life significantly. You can disable the backlight by turning the brightness all the way down (effectively turning it off). The layout of the keyboard is nearly identical to Apple’s full size keyboard. The function row is not grouped, but instead spaced just like every other key. The escape key is extra wide which accounts for some of the extra space (just like more recent vintage Apple keyboards). Where Apple’s layout kept the F13-15 keys (right above the insert/home/pg up where more traditional keyboards stuff scroll lock, print screen and pause) is the device selection keys. The keyboard can support up to 3 connections - each being either bluetooth or the Logitech unifying receiver. Simply holding down the connection button for more than 3 seconds will enter pairing mode. This is both intuitive and easy to use. I was able to pair my Retina Macbook, iPad, iPhone and Samsung Android tablet via bluetooth. The unifying receiver in the box is prep-paired on channel 1, which appreciated, as not everyone’s workstations may have bluetooth. Above the number pad you can find a calculator quick launch, print screen, scroll lock and a ‘lock’ lock, which worked well on iOS, OSX and Windows 10. Number lock can be found where clear is accessible through the FN key (although I never really use this). Logitech’s Options software allows you to reassign these keys and control the “Crown” (more on that later). The build quality of the keyboard is top notch - as you would expect at this price point. While the keyboard area itself is matte plastic with shallow divots on each key. These really do seem to guide me to be more accurate on each key and provide some tactile feedback to guide you to the center of the key. The function row and bottom row are devoid of these divots, but that really isn’t much of a concern. The keyboard section doesn’t flex, but definitely has a distinct plastic sound if you twist it. In either case the keyboard section connects to the top section, which I would assume is the location of the radios, battery, and of course the crown dial. This section is definitely anodized aluminum - and matches the “Space Gray” that Apple uses in it’s products. Logitech’s choice to use anodized aluminum for this section adds a nice amount of heft to the keyboard. I’m surprised Logitech didn’t bring the aluminum down to the keyboard frame, as that would have added a bit more premium look and feel. As it stands the two materials make it look like a keyboard ‘attached’ to a top section. In fact the keyboard and crown area both have a curved radius on each of their 4 corners emphasizing the separate sections. What you get is a stacked look that isn’t jarring, but definitely doesn’t seem as seamless as you’d expect from a premium product. While the keys themselves are comfortable, smooth matte plastic (I prefer their feel to what Apple offers) I’m disappointed not to see something more exotic at this price point. I know I keep mentioning Apple, but Logitech is truly going after the professionals that Apple is leaving behind as they keep moving towards reducing thickness and drive their butterfly switch. After all if you have to spend $130 on a magic keyboard, why not explore a more flexible option from Logitech? Even the modifier keys list Apple’s function before the PC equivalent (like the ‘start’ button show’s ‘alt/opt’). This keyboard should appease those who are fans of the older scissor switch style apple keyboards. Best of all if you swap between OS’s you can keep the appropriate keyboard layout for the active OS. This happens natively, even without the software install, so kudos to Logitech on a flawless implementation here. The “Crown” is Logitech’s hallmark feature for this keyboard. It’s Logitech’s answer to the surface dial - integrating it into the keyboard. It is definitely aluminum just like the rest of the top section, which feels excellent in hand. It’s about 1” in diameter, and has a ‘clicky’ feel to it (think mouse wheel) by default. You can depress it as an additional button. The dial itself is touch sensitive allowing different ‘mode’ selections in supported apps. Out of the box, the crown controls volume (on all 4 OS’s I tried). On OSX I found holding the crown down would change the ‘intent’ to screen brightness (on my Retina MacBook). On windows specifically the volume control would change to analogue spin, instead of a clicky mouse wheel spin (Windows allows volume adjust from 0-100, whereas OS X is 15 levels by default). When it does this it sounds somewhat like a camera shutter noise. It’s a bit jarring at first, but I assume there is machinery in play that is similar to how the MX series mice switch to free spin vs clicky wheel. Disappointingly OS X only has Crown profiles for the Adobe creative suite, Chrome and Firefox. Both Chrome and Firefox allow fast tab switching using the knob. This is a nice use of this knob in the browser, but certainly not a reason to spend the $200 MSRP of this keyboard. The Adobe create suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere Pro) on the other hand, have different options based on the tool you are using at the time. This is a differentiating feature, allowing you to use the knob to control things like color, brightness, etc. The PC has a few more options, specifically Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Edge. Word allowed theme changing, font changing and color changing. Excel allows you to move around cells quickly and create charts. Powerpoint allows you to change the theme, alignment, and text size. All in all these are kinda ‘geez whiz’ more than productive. The office integrations use VSTO, and apparently mine didn’t install properly. You can google the error message and find a solution rather quickly that involves renaming the default VSTO config file (unrelated to Logitech - more of a Microsoft issue). On both desktop operating systems the Logitech Options software gives you the ability to customize its function. The software really is excellent and lets you reassign all the function keys as well. In the end this software feature has the opportunity to expand much further. Windows does seem to have more bindings out of the box for this feature, but if you’re a Adobe creative suite user, this keyboard brings some compelling features to the list. All in all the Crown is a neat capability that feels slightly underbaked at the time of writing. One interesting point is, for charging the keyboard uses USB Type-C. There is a cable included in the box, and it’s nice to see this connector as it’s both easier to use and more durable than micro or mini USB. There is an on/off switch next to the port, and on the other side of the port is a line of plastic which I surmise is the location of the antenna (as it’s packed in aluminum) - but you’d be hard pressed to even notice it (it reminds me of the IR sensor on older macs, only a bit longer). The proximity sensor for the keyboard is magic, and I have no clue how it works, but it works extremely well. It’s a great feature to save battery when using the backlight and so far as offered a great compromise in keeping the keyboard wireless and offering backlighting. So is it worth a purchase? If you are looking for a premium keyboard and want to eschew mechanical keyboards for their noise and longer key travel this is a consideration. Are you looking for meatier alternative to Apple’s keyboards with some creative tools (Apple’s offerings have only 1 connection, proprietary connector, no backlighting, and no additional control surfaces)? This keyboard is for you. Do you have multiple devices running multiple OS’s - this is another big feature. The price gives me pause in the PC ecosystem (as there are so many competitors and decent offerings, even in logitech’s portfolio), but the build quality and ability to cross the OS borders without need to remap keys make this a compelling product.

This Logitech wireless keyboard is phenomenal! It is rock solid with no bend or wobble when typing. The keys are almost whisper quiet and have a nice feel to them. On top of that it looks incredibly sharp, is well made, and is a perfect compliment to my Logitech MX Master 2S mouse that I just recently got and reviewed not long ago. With those two devices, I am a master of my workstation. I do all kinds of different work at my desk at work; everything from MS Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher), Adobe Creative products (mostly InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat), as well as a host of other things (I AM the Content & Delivery department for my group). I sit at a workstation all day with a multi-monitor set up and everything I can do to make that experience a better one is a must in my book. The Logitech Craft keyboard made my life just a bit better. On a side note, I don't know who is lighting a fire under the guys and gals at Logitech but they have come up with some top-notch peripherals lately. With the exception of some recent headphones, they have knocked it out of the ball park with the Craft, MX Master 2S, and the Spotlight Presenter remote. I'm just going to cover a few of the main features of the keyboard that really stand it apart from other keyboards because as just a keyboard (that is, inputting characters on a screen) it is perfect. The main thing that stands out is the new command dial/crown. This is open for you to assign actions to for any number of programs but it comes ready to go with profiles for what would seem to be dozens of programs. When I installed the keyboard on to my computer (I already had the Logitech Options software on it for the MX Master 2S mouse) it offered me profiles for 16 different programs that it found on my computer. All of the MS Office programs I had installed were represented as well as all the Adobe products with the exception of Acrobat. The profiles allow different options for the dial to perform given the program. On the design programs it allows me to change line or character sizes, or adjust different values on a contextual basis. I can say this works incredibly nicely with a stepped increase/decrease for subtle changes but the dial 'unlocks' if you really turn it and you get a nice smooth and quick move to the extremes. Again, there are commands that are already set up in the profiles but the Logitech options program lets you change not only the actions of the crown/dial but also the right function button and all of the function row with the exception of the escape key. Now I like all the features that are tied to those buttons so I have not messed with any of them, but it is nice to know that I can. One button I did have to dig to find out how to use it properly was the screen capture button. It is in the middle above the numeric keypad in between the calculator call up button and the menu button. I'm taking screenshots all the time and thought that this was a very nice feature to have baked in to the keyboard but while the other buttons have an obvious effect by bringing up a dialog box or program this one didn't do anything (not even a snapshot effect), so I wondered if anything was actually happening. I assumed that it was throwing images into a folder somewhere but I could not find it in any directory. I ended up contacting Logitech and they informed me that it is basically doing a control-c command on the screen and that I need to do a paste command in an appropriate program to get it to work. I did just that and it worked perfectly. The one funny thing is that in my dual monitor set-up I have one horizontal and one vertical and the screenshot took the image of both in their proper orientations and had them together as one image side-by-side. I would like perhaps a bit more control such as selecting whether or not it just does the active screen or window, but the image is very good and I'm able to crop it down to a useable image rather easily. It even is good enough that it leaves out the cursor from the screenshot which is nice. Like I say in the title this is the best keyboard I have ever used in my 30+ years of using a keyboard. I will point out that there is no way to raise the back of the keyboard with any kickstands/legs like on many other keyboards but that is perfect for me, I like my keyboards with a very shallow incline. If you like yours with a bit more pitch to them, I don't know what you will do other than sticking on some pads to the back or something. For me it is just right. I am EXTREMELY happy with this keyboard. It has all the elegance of an Apple device but an incredible range of functionality not matched by any other keyboard I have used. This is a beautiful piece of hardware and you will not regret purchasing it.

I really like this keyboard a lot. As just a keyboard it's great to use and type on. The input dial is a really cool idea that I think has a lot of potential, but right now besides a few basic volume and tab switch options you're really only going to see the full benefits of it in Microsoft Office or the Adobe products. Build quality on this keyboard is amazing. It's got a really nice weight to it. It's made from metal and plastic, but it feels very solid and doesn't flex or creak at all. It's also a really good looking piece of hardware; the kind of thing you'd want to show off your desk. The typing experience is very good for me on this. This is a chiclet style keyboard like you'd find on a laptop. The keys have a good amount travel and are well spaced from each other. The keys are pretty quiet as well; I would say about as loud as a MacBook keyboard, which is something I really appreciate. I'm using this on Windows 10, but the OS-specific keys are dual-labeled for Windows and MacOS. I've been using a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard for the past couple years; the key placement near the bottom of the keyboard is a little different from what I'm used to and not having the Windows logo to access the Start menu is a little challenging for me, but I imagine I will get used to that over time. The keys are backlit - the backlight turns on automatically as your hands approach the keyboard and turns off about 5-10 seconds after you've removed your hands. The backlight is pretty bright and illuminates the whole keyboard evenly. It's probably even a little bright for me, but it can be adjusted on the keyboard. The defining feature of this keyboard is the input dial. I love the idea of it and the dial itself works really really well. It's functions are pretty basic most of time - volume control and play/pause are the default functions when you're not running any application-specific functions. The dial is touch sensitive and can be clicked down. The wheel can either turn freely or in a more incremental fashion, depending on what it's doing. All of this can be customized in the Logitech Options application. It reminds me a lot of the Surface Dial. I think the only real problem with it right now is there aren't a lot of profiles for controlling applications available yet. There are profiles for web browsers that let you use the dial to switch tabs and Office and Adobe functions are pretty fleshed out, but besides a few generic system apps those were all that I really saw. The good news about this is I think that more application support will come in time - it would great to see a profile made for a 3D modeling program like SolidWorks. The possibilities are endless - just not quite there yet. Other items: -The keyboard charges over USB-C. Using USB-C instead of a Micro-USB port is a good forward-thinking decision, but at this point in the game most of my stuff still charges over Micro-USB. This isn't a knock against the keyboard as well, just a consequence of progress that means you may need to carry around an extra cable if you don't already use USB-C devices. I haven't found anything to indicate what the battery life of this is - I'm hoping it will last at least a few months before I have to charge it. Obviously battery life is going to come down to how often you use it. -The keyboard connects over Bluetooth or Logitech's unifying USB receiver. I love that Logitech is doing this in all of their new wireless products - it gives you a lot flexibility with what you can connect it to. You can also setup the keyboard to connect to multiple devices and switch between them. Based on my experiences I think this is one of the best productivity keyboards you can buy, but it is certainly on the higher end of keyboards and the price may be a lot to ask knowing that the input dial only supports a handful of applications at this point. Still, I think if you are somebody who's at your keyboard 8+ hours a day this would be a worthy investment.

It's no surprise that Logitech makes awesome accessories. They're pretty much the only accessory maker that I trust to work 100% of the time. Since I do a lot of design work at home, I was really keen to try the new Craft keyboard. While some might question the design aesthetic of a large crown, it's usefulness has already won me over. Let's start by addressing one of the biggest things about the Craft keyboard - it can support up to 3 different devices simply with the press of a button. I've paired it to my Mac, PC and iPad and have been able to swap back and forth without a hitch. This adaptability is a killer feature because it means I can use the Craft whenever and where ever I need to. Typing on it felt very pleasant, much more pleasant than on the Magic Keyboard Get 1 it replaced. The keys are slightly concave, so your fingers naturally fall to the center of the key for a smooth typing experience. The keyboard itself is a full keyboard including a 10-key. I forgot how much I missed that having used Apple's wireless keyboard for years. Another beautiful feature, at least for me, is that I can pair the keyboard right out of the box with Bluetooth, or I can use the included Logitech universal adapter and also link my other Logitech devices to it if needed. As nice as battery powered, wireless keyboards are, part of me still longs for the security of a physical connection. The Craft comes equipped with a fairly long USB-C-to-USB-A charging cable that also doubles as a physical connection. That means that if the MacOS beta I'm running decides to stop responding to my Bluetooth paired keyboard, like it just did for my Apple one, I can rely on it having a physical connection to the machine. The Crown is the big selling point for the keyboard. Logitech has paired with Google and Adobe to make specialized features available in Chrome and certain Creative Cloud products. Want to zoom in on that image you're editing in Photoshop? The Crown can handle it. Want to turn up the volume on that iTunes track? The Crown can handle it. The best part of the Logitech companion software is that you can also create custom actions for the Crown to control. Out of the box on MacOS, it supports volume and brightness. The FN keys re also mapped to common MacOS / Windows 10 functions like media and brightness control. You can also adjust the level of the keyboard's backlight as well. There are some drawbacks, if you can call them that. First, there's no adjustable height to the keyboard. The angle you get is the angle you get. There's also no palm or wrist rest. That's not a total deal breaker, but the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard I had previously had that cushion and I never realized how spoiled I was. The other major drawback is the price. At $200, it's a pretty steep investment for most general users. The Craft is really going after the creative niche or people who want to use the same keyboard with more than one device without relying on a KVM switch. Compared to Apple's new 10-key Magic Keyboard 2, the Logitech just feels better and I'm honestly excited to see what other actions I can get the Crown to handle.

So as much as I like this keyboard I feel that it has a very limited audience unless you just want a keyboard that has some of the best key feel that I've ever seen. Coming from a gamer that uses a mechanical keyboard it was immediately different to me. It wasn't necessarily bad or good, but it was very clear. If you are coming from a laptop keyboard the difference will shock you. The metal keys feel amazing and the keyboard itself just screams quality and it feels it everywhere throughout the keyboard. If that is your reason for buying this high priced keyboard you won't be disappointed. If you're a gamer looking for a high end keyboard, this isn't for you at least on the gaming side. It has no dedicated keys for programming. It's key travel is similar to that of a laptop, and you just don't have that satisfaction of a loud key click that you get with mechanical or the cheap price of a lower end keyboard. This keyboard is for the creationists that use Adobe software or Microsoft Office. While I may not have any video or photo editing software compatible with the keyboard I do have the full Office 365 suite and took some time to see what all it offers within. Small details like being able to readjust the font size by selecting it and using the dial. It's an amazing feature albeit small. You can also change the layout of slides within PowerPoint. It may not be much, but at least they are features I can see myself using. The software within the keyboard is outstanding and really does separate it out. The dial isn't just motion sensitive either it works by touch as well really giving some amazing power to it. The keys know not just when you are pressing them, but when you are touching them as it will turn the light on the keyboard. Every single wireless keyboard that I've seen has taken regular AA or AAA batteries, but not only is this one rechargeable, but it's by a USB Type C cable. What? That's amazing. It's such a forward thinking keyboard. It's feel reminds me a lot of Apple's Keyboard, but just has more features. It's Bluetooth even making it even more widely compatible in case you don't have any USB A ports to plug in the dongle into, looking at you MacBook and MacBook Pro. It has the buttons for Apple's layout vs Windows making it immediately recognizable to both. You can set it where the keys have are function keys instead of the built in functions like volume up and down. Small gripes that I have with it is that I wish the craft wheel did more for more casual and non photo and video users like myself. That just means the keyboard isn't really targeted to me, but I still find myself using it regardless. When I need to get my Gaming PC side on I'll hook back up the wired mechanical keyboard otherwise I'll use this.

The first thing you notice when you open the box is the awesome craftsmanship. The unit is pretty heavy for a keyboard and very sturdy, it will not move around when typing. The quality of the unit is top notch, built very nicely. The keyboard had almost a full charge out of the box, but I gave it a full charge anyway with the included USB charge cord. While it was charging, I started the software from Logitech. I already had this app since I have the Logitech mouse. Pairing the device was simple, using the options software for my Logitech MX Master Mouse. I added the device and it paired within 5 seconds. The software recognized previously installed programs and was able to optimize them immediately for default options (this can be changed to your liking) (Office, Mozilla, Chrome, Adobe Photoshop CC, etc.) While in the options app you are able to assign each function key if you so desire to 1 off 11 choices or leave it at the default setting. The Function key can also be programmed to work in conjunction with your mouse for a whole new set of actions or even gestures. I tested the keyboard in Word/Excel/PowerPoint. All tests went flawlessly and actually made editing my Docs, Working in my Spreadsheets and Power point presentations much smoother and faster. Gone are the multiple clicks to change some items. A simple twist and click on the dial and the task is done or where I need to be. In Word the default option with the dial lets you Change the font size, style, theme/color and image size. In PowerPoint you can change the slide style/color and the Font/image size. For browsers it will let you scroll through tabs. For Excel you can navigate, create a chart and change chart styles. This Keyboard can be connected to 3 different devices/PC's. To change the device you are connected to, just hold down the number buttons until the keyboard is recognized on the other device/PC's. The back lighting feature is nice for darker offices, the board reacts to your presence and activates. This is the most customization board I have seen, I love it. I have showed many of my coworkers and now they will get their own. I may have to put my keyboard under lock and key until the boards for them come in. For you work horses out there this keyboard is for you, It will save time and increase productivity. I would not hesitate to suggest this keyboard to my friends and family. Great Job Logitech!!

The Logitech Craft keyboard is a must have for those looking for a keyboard that can eliminate desktop clutter, improve efficiencies, and a need to control multiple computers. Pros: *Multi computer and multi OS support *Bluetooth and Unifying support *Excellent feel and finish *Dial is a productivity enhancer Cons: *Hefty price tag *No support for a wrist support My background is in photography. I share a monitor with my MacBook Pro for photo editing and Windows PC for gaming. I currently have two keyboards on my desk and it clutters the little desk space that I already have. This Logitech keyboard allows me to control both computers with just one keyboard! What a space relief. The wireless keyboard comes with 3 buttons that you can press to correspond to the computer you want to control. The keyboard is also formatted to have both mac and windows related buttons on it. What makes this keyboard unique over the other “multi device” keyboards is a dedicated control dial in the upper left corner. This allows you to control many things from volume, browser scrolling, etc. It’s even app specific so the dial will do different operations. For general windows apps, I have it setup to control volume when I spin it and show desktop when I press it. For editing photos, I can have it configured to control exposure levels in Lightroom and brush size in Photoshop. This dial is what makes this keyboard stand out over the rest. Beyond the dial, the keys are very smooth in their interaction and very pleasing to type on. They even light up when the ambient light is low and can change in intensity. I haven’t been able to deplete the batteries yet but it appears that you can get the advertised 1 week of power with no issues with the key lights on and up to 3 months without lights. The supplied USB-C cable will easily get you back to full charge in less than 3 hours. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the design and feel of the keyboard to help justify the premium price tag. It feel like a premium keyboard should feel like with just enough weight to not feel chintzy. I would recommend this keyboard to any working professional.

I usually look at a keyboard as a necessary evil to input data. The Craft has changed my mind. First off this is a slick streamlined keyboard that has a feel that is solid with a reflection of high quality. Rather than pair with the included dongle I opted to pair via Bluetooth. Connecting was simple and straightforward. One of the first features I noticed was the lighted keyboard is only illuminated when your hands are in proximity of the keys. There is an included cable so you can charge the keyboard easily. A bonus for some is that it is compatible with both Windows and Macs. Another feature that stands out is a knob on the upper left hand side. This ingenious little device performs a host of features depending on what application you are running. Play around with it and see what it does. It even can control the volume on your device. Another very handy feature for me is that I can connect it to multiple computers at the same time. There are three buttons that allow me to quickly switch between my desktop and Surface without missing a beat. No more multiple keyboards!! As for typing with it, the keys are solid and it does not have the loud clicking some keyboards have but has an excellent tactile fell. It is very comfortable to type on. Using functions like caps lock or num lock will display the setting on your screen so you can easily see if it is on or off. The keyboard has an aluminium casing so it has a very solid feel! m extremely happy with this keyboard which is something I don't think I have ever said about a keyboard.

I've been looking for a keyboard to replace my Apple wired keyboard and Logitech always comes to mind for my first choice. I first looked at the solar powered K750 because of the convenient solar power, never having to be charged and the aesthetics which matched the Apple theme and my Logitech Ultrathin touch mouse. I really like the modern look of all Logitech products and their reliability you've come to know and trust. I had the opportunity to use Logitech's Craft keyboard and was impressed. First thing you notice about this keyboard is the weight, it's quite heavy compared to other keyboards and gives you a solid feel. The Craft keyboard is beautifully designed and Logitech delivers on the aesthetics. The large knob on the top left adapts to different applications and functions differently depending on what programs are being used. On the native Mac OS, it functions as a volume knob, play and pause functions. In Excel, it has many different functions depending one what's highlighted and where the cursor is. Working heavily in excel, I found this keyboard extremely useful for the different shortcuts. The keys themselves feel great, very much like the keys from the 2016 Mac Book Pro. The keys are coated in a rubbery coating and adds to the experience when typing. The keyboard also has a proximity sensor so whenever you place your hands near the keyboard it lights up to help guide you when you're typing in a dark setting. I would highly recommend this keyboard if you willing to make the investment.

As I removed this keyboard out of its box, I immediately knew this was something 'special'. The streamlined build of its futuristic and sleek aluminum body contrasted with a muted-black keyboard is eye-catching and impressive. This Logitech Craft Keyboard is designed as a high-end, premium, quality unit, and truly representative of its price point. As keyboards go this Logitech Craft weighs approximately three and a third pounds, heavier then most. Nonetheless, this is a nice stable weight, which enables the keyboard to remain in place for heavy and prolonged use. Additionally, it is anchored by two rubber feet at the front and bottom of the keyboard to further insure it does not move or wobble as you use it. Logitech Craft is a full-sized keyboard, and, has all the keys required by both Windows and MAC IOS to function properly. The heavy-plastic keyboard section is a muted, non-slip, black with indented keys, which offer the option of backlighting. You can increase or lower the level of brightness and, completely disable backlighting in the Logitech Options menu. The 'Quick Start Guide' provides the URL for the Logitech Options software. The main keyboard body is tilted towards the front at an ever so slight, fixed angle, approximately, ten to fifteen degrees. I was pleasantly surprised. For me this is an adequate angle to make typing so much more comfortable as opposed to a flat, compact keyboard as those offered in laptops, tablets, and two-in-ones. However, be aware there is no adjustment to increase or lessen the keyboard's fixed angle of tilt. After five days of typing field reports at construction sites using my tablet, with its flat keyboard – transferring and combining all my field notes into a presentable, summary, document using the Logitech Craft keyboard is a pleasure to my 'pinkies'. YooHoo! Setting up this Craft Keyboard is quick and easy. It only took several minutes to download and install the Logitech Options software on my desktop unit from the Logitech website. You can also register your keyboard while you are there. During the download process the software scans your computer and provides an overlay of the apps already installed on that particular device. Keep in mind if you plan to use this keyboard for several devices, the 'Options' software has to be downloaded to each separate device. I am using this Craft Keyboard for one IOS and two Windows devices. I designated each separate device through the number keys at the top of the keyboard to the left of the numerical pad. Number 1 key (desktop), 2 (laptop), and 3 (Mac), accordingly. When I want to use the keyboard for my laptop, I simply turn it on and press the Number Two key. It is impressive to note that this keyboard operates over two different OS, Windows and Apple. How cool is that? At the top, and to the left, of the Logitech Creative Keyboard is the Creative Input Dial, or Crown. This is an appropriate name for this 'tool'. However, I would rename it as the 'Productivity-Dial'. This little device actually defines the purpose of this Logitech Creative Keyboard. It's all about the Crown, which provides you the ability to navigate through the various features of the particular app you are using. You can touch, tap, or turn the Crown, which changes the various selected functions of the app you are using. I found that the Crown is very 'touch-sensitive'. Depressing slightly to the right on the top of the Crown will highlight a feature to your right, and vice a versa to the left as you scroll through your on-screen selections. Over the last week I used MS Word for several hours each day, and have become very comfortable using the Crown. It 'grows' on you since it is an 'easy-learning-curve'. Also, I discovered I hardly ever have to use my mouse. WooHoo! Tapping the Crown will display the various options in the app's overlay. Turning the Crown will increase or decrease, or, effectively change the value of your selection. As you turn the Crown it will be in either friction mode, and, or, ratchet mode depending on the active function. In ratchet mode you can feel the actual graduations in your fingers as you turn it. Another great advantage of this Craft Keyboard is that it allows you to customize keys to your particular needs and liking through the Logitech Options software. The Craft Keyboard Is charged through a furnished, USB 'A' to USB 'C' cable, approximately four and a half feet long. There is an LED light on the far right hand corner of the keyboard, which blinks green when being charged, solid green when fully charged, and blinks red for five seconds when below twenty percent, and solid red when under ten percent, thereby shutting down the backlighting, also. It takes approximately three hours to fully charge the keyboard, which will run with the backlighting on for up to a week based on several hours of use each day. I have disabled the backlighting and am expecting the charge to last approximately two to three months. We'll see. I already utilize the Bluetooth connections on all three of my devices with strategic equipment, and, am unwilling to disconnect them. So, I purchased two inexpensive, additional dongles, Logitech Unifying Receivers, and connected the Craft Keyboard to each one. No connection problems, whatsoever. The more I use this Craft Keyboard the more I am convinced that this is now the future for all keyboards. I am discovering more ways to use this technology everyday. It becomes addictive with use, and definitely has increased my productivity. I love it! My guess is that the Logitech folks will be adding even more app profiles in the future to further expand the productivity features of this Craft Keyboard. I highly recommend the purchase of this Logitech Craft Keyboard to increase your productivity if you use the following software on a daily basis, or for work: MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, or, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and PremierePro. If you have a family member, friend, or loved one, who falls in the above category – buy this keyboard as an early Christmas gift. You won't regret it. The gain in personal 'productivity' far outweighs the price point of this keyboard.

I am no stranger to wireless keyboards, I have owned several styles as well as several different manufacturers. Logitech has always seem to have the upper end of hardware and software to offer. Here are some of the things I love about this particular unit: Adaptive Backlit Keys USB Type C Charger Unified 2.4 GHz connectivity Bluetooth connectivity A pretty small footprint (without a giant chin at the bottom of the keyboard) Well constructed Control three items with designated buttons. Keyboard layout is efficient. Crown can control things with a spin if the app and os supports it. Here are two things I dislike: Sealed unit, not sure what it will be like to replace the batteries when they stop holding a charge. Hopefully the Crown will gain some profiles for other apps, the only thing it can control on my machine is volume, app switch and switch tabs in Google Chrome. This is a rock solid wireless keyboard, with back lit keys.

I've switched to wireless keyboards a long time ago since I burned a USB port on my laptop using an old school wired keyboard back in the day (static electricity). What I always missed was the backlight, typically wirelles keyboards don't have it to save battery. The new Logitech Craft keyboard is a solution! Craft is a very elegant, made of quality materials and nice to the touch, it is pretty heavy by itself - about 2lb 2oz and sits nicely on the table without sliding around (thanks to rubberized feet). I absolutely love the backlight which comes on automatically when keyboard detects user hands nearby (backlight stays on all the time when keyboard is charging though). The key feature of this keyboard is the dial in the top left corner. It's function will vary depending on the application you currently have active. By default it acts as a primary volume control knob, I've also programmed it to mute/unmute my speakers when I press the knob and to change applications (a-la Alt+Tab) when I press and turn the knob. There is the short list of the applications Crfat keyboard works with and functions I've tried: Google Chrome, Edge and Firefox - dial changes between open tabs in the browser (this seems to be the only function of the dial in browsers) Adobe Photoshop CC - dial adjusts current tool size and can pick next tool option on press Adobe Illustrator CC - adjust size, adjust color Adobe InDesign CC - adjust font size Adobe Premiere CC - dial navigates the timeline Microsoft Excel - navigates thru the spreadsheet, create chart on press, change chart style on press and trun Microsoft Power Point - changes slide style, font size, object size Microsoft Word - changes theme style, font size, image size Dial operation is smooth and precise, I had no problem getting exact brush size in Photoshop that I wanted. I can't say I'm 100% sold on using the dial, but I may adapt to using it more in the future. Quick note on charging: keyboard has a USB-C port for charging (which is great) but if your mouse still has micro-USB - you looking at having 2 different charging cables. Overall pros: Backlight! Keyboard is solidly built, very fluid and not overloaded with extra keys, long battery life (lasted 5 full work days on a single charge), pairs with up to 3 different computers using either Bluetooth or Logitech Unify. Compatible with Mac and PC. Overall cons: You will need to re-learn some key locations such as print screen, "windows logo" and alt keys are marked for both Mac and Windows - this creates a minor confusion at the beginning. Keyboard angle is NOT adjustable (it does not have little feet to rise the back of the keyboard off the table).
