I wanted to love it but at last I wasn’t able to. I ultimately returned because I wasn’t able to update with my work computer and the keys we’re responding extremely strange. The keys also weren’t comfortable for me, even after three weeks of us, it felt like I had to push extra hard to active keys. I ended up exchanging for the MX S Keys and I’m loving the new one so far.

It’s been a while since I’ve upgraded my keyboard, and boy did I get an upgrade with this new MX mechanical keyboard, part of the Master Series by Logitech. As soon as I removed this keyboard from the box I could feel the quality. It’s a little heavier than a standard keyboard this size and feels like it’s built with higher end, durable materials.
The keyboard comes nicely packaged in a cardboard box with the quick set up instructions printed on the inner lid of the box. Also included are the Logi Bolt Receiver, or dongle, and a 3 ft USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a couple info booklets.
Setting up the keyboard was really easy. Just turn the keyboard on, plug the Logi Bolt into the computer or ensure the computer’s Bluetooth is on and connect to “MX MCHNCL”. That’s basically it. You can visit MXsetup.logi.com for more information about setup.
This keyboard has a lot of fun and functional features. A feature I really like is the ability to pair it with up to three devices on nearly any operating system via Bluetooth or the included receiver. There are three dedicated buttons on the keyboard that you can use for each device you pair. Just hold the button for three seconds and it switches to a different device. This is really handy for me because, working from home on my laptop, while also using another laptop with its own keyboard and another computer in the living room, means that I have three keyboards to feed batteries. Not anymore, I can now store or sell those other keyboards, and use this one rechargeable keyboard for all three computers! Saving space and money not having to buy batteries for those other keyboards.
Speaking of batteries, this keyboard doesn’t need any. It’s rechargeable via USB and can last up to ten months on one charge, if the backlighting is disabled. With the backlighting running full time, it should last at least fifteen days on one charge. The only thing that would make this rechargeable keyboard better is if it could be recharged wirelessly. Then I would be able to put it on the base of my computer, which has a wireless charger built into it. That would be really cool and might be something that Logitech could include in a future release.
Another great feature is the quiet mechanical typing. Typing really is a delight, with an exceptional feel and flow while producing less noise. The keys just feel good to type on. And the coating on them is comfortable as well, providing a smooth but also matte-like surface that grips your fingertips as you type. This is the type of keyboard that will spoil you, with the best of both worlds, mechanical and quiet, you won’t want to go back to a standard keyboard again.
The backlighting is really handy and both functional and fun! There are a few different preprogrammed backlighting effects available to choose from and the overall backlighting level can be lowered or raised by using the function keys. The available backlighting effects are: Static, always on. Contrast, gray keys are dimmer than black keys. Breathing, the illumination intensifies then dims, to create a breathing effect. Waves, a wave of bright light sweeps over the keys, from left to right in repetition. Reaction, only the keys you press, as you press them, illuminate, then slowly dim to off in about one second. Random, a sort of twinkling effect, with random keys lighting up then dimming to off, over the entire keyboard.
I really love this keyboard and am so happy that I got it. The only things that would improve it, IMO, would be if it were more ergonomic and capable of wireless charging, but that’s a wish list. As is, it’s one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to own a high-performance wireless keyboard that doesn’t need to consume batteries and can be used on multiple devices.

For Creators, Writers, and anyone who has a computer heavy job - Keyboards are an essential part of that experience! Its the main way you interact with your devices and important to get work done quickly. Logitech’s new MX Mechanical Keyboard is a great option and I have loved using it so far!
PROS:
- Right out of the box, this keyboard feels so premium. It has a nice weight to is, solid build, and the entire look of it is sleek! I love the neutral metal colors it has and overall it looks very modern and brings a great appeal to your office space.
- Connecting / Setting up is a breeze! The device has a USB receiver so you can plug that directly into your computer - or it can connect via Bluetooth as well (up to 3 devices). I really think this flexibility is huge as different devices need different ways to connect to it.
- Speaking of that, the 3 switch buttons are lightening fast! I frequently switch from typing on my windows computer to my iPad and just by tapping the different connection keys on the keyboard is simple and smooth.
- The “Logi Options+” app is something you download via Logitech and is a great addition to the keyboard as well to increase customization. Its not essential, but I would recommend it to get the full benefits from this keyboard.
- The way this keyboard types is amazing! Its super fast and responsive and feels like I am just gliding along while typing. The keyboard definitely produces sound but its not overly loud. However, it is still a mechanical keyboard so it is meant to produce that noise which I enjoy!
- The backlighting is a game changer too! It senses when your hands get close to turn the lights on which is really nice and the lights change based on the amount of light it senses in the room too. Of course you can always physically turn the lights lower and brighter on the keyboard itself.
- The overall low profile of the keyboard is great too. Its very comfortable to type on and is not too high for me, plus if you want to it does have adjustable legs to increase the typing angle.
- Lastly, I love the USB-C charging! No batteries on this device, just chargers via USB-C and is very forward thinking.
CONS:
- I really have nothing I can think of that I wish this keyboard did differently!
BOTTOM LINE:
- Logitech consistently produces high end keyboards and the MX Mechanical is another great addition. Its smooth, modern, high end, and performs really really well. I love the backlight keyboard and the ability to easy switch from devices as well. I use this keyboard daily for hours on end and have not gotten tired of it yet! Would recommend for those looking for a high quality experience.

My Take on the Logitech MX Mechanical Keyboard

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Alright, folks, let's dive into something that's been lighting up my desk and my heart these past weeks: the Logitech MX Mechanical Keyboard. Now, this isn't just any keyboard. It's like the Swiss Army knife of keyboards, designed for both Windows and macOS users, and it's been an absolute blast to use.
First Impressions: It’s Got the Looks
Straight out of the box, this keyboard grabbed my attention with its sleek, graphite finish. It's full-sized, which means you're getting a numpad, and for someone who juggles spreadsheets and games, that's a big plus. The backlit keys are not just cool to look at but super practical for those late-night typing or gaming sessions. No more squinting or guessing where the @ key is when you're typing in the dark.
Feeling the Clicks: Tactile Switches for the Win
Now, let's talk about what makes this keyboard feel as good as it looks: the tactile switches. Each keypress is satisfyingly clicky, without being too loud to annoy your roommate or your cat. It's a fine balance that Logitech has nailed, giving you that mechanical keyboard experience that's just right for both typing up reports or diving into your favorite games.
Wireless Freedom and Compatibility
One of my favorite features is how effortlessly it switches between my devices. Whether I'm working on my Windows PC or doing something on my MacBook, the MX Mechanical doesn't skip a beat. And yes, it's wireless, which means my desk looks cleaner than ever without all those extra cables. Plus, the battery life? Stellar. I've gone weeks without needing a recharge, and when I do, it's back to full strength in no time.
Why It’s a Keeper
Beyond just the typing experience and the versatility, it's the little things that make the MX Mechanical stand out. The customizable backlit keys are not just for show; they make it easy to find your way around, no matter the lighting. And the full-size layout means you're not sacrificing functionality for form.
Bottom Line: Worth It? Absolutely.
If you're on the fence about grabbing the Logitech MX Mechanical Keyboard, here's my two cents: go for it. Whether you're typing up a storm, gaming into the night, or just want a reliable keyboard that looks and feels great, this keyboard is a solid choice. It's become a staple of my desk setup, and I can't see myself going back to anything else anytime soon. Cheers to Logitech for knocking it out of the park with this one!

As you can see from the photos, I have several computing devices from Logitech and one more MX Keys keyboard and MX Vertical that I have at my office at work. Logitech is my go to brand for any accessories of this nature and including my iPad. These products are well made, reliable and have some great features. They are a little on higher side, but the quality is unrivaled.
One of the main reasons that I like this keyboard is that it can be used with three different devices using Bluetooth and work with both PC and Mac devices. You can switch between the paired devices with the touch of a button and the connection is flawless. If you download the optional software, you can customize the settings for each device. You can set app specific buttons and customize your entire top row of function keys. If you have multiple MX devices, you can pair them to one USB receiver so you dont have to take up multiple ports on your computer.
I really like how the backlight keyboard operates automatically when it senses motion above the keyboard. The battery life is going to vary based upon usage, but on my older keyboard, I can go several months using it Mon-Fri without having to charge it. I normally charge it up every 4-6 months just to be on the safe side, but you can use the keyboard while it's charging. It charges using a common USB-C to USB-A cable and can be charged using a charging brick or an available USB port on your computer.
The tactile keys are louder than on my MX Keys model by default, but they can be programmed for three different preferences. Tactile Quiet, Clicky and Linera. This keyboard is also deeper and since they arent encased in the keyboard, it is much easier to clean.
Overall, this is an awesome keyboard and I highly recommend it.

Logitech’s MX Mechanical keyboard has every option I can possibly want in a wireless, mechanical, work-oriented keyboard. USB-C charging, the ability to swap between computers or laptops with a push of a button, backlit keys that aren’t too bright, it works on multiple operating systems, the keys are pleasant, and keystrokes do not deliver a loud or high-pitched sound when depressed. I, personally, can’t ask for much more from this unit.
The MX Mechanical comes with a new proprietary receiver called Logi Bolt. This is an improved design that also has new software with the same name to go with it. Within this new program you can manage older your devices even if they are connected through a unifying receiver. You can see from the photos that I have full support for a MX575 mouse within the Logi Bolt program and what receiver it is using. What I didn’t see is the keyboard I am reviewing.
And that’s where I am torn on this device. It’s fantastic. It works really well. But the bloatware feels wildly unnecessary. The support for my devices is not uniform with the software support offered by Logitech. The MX Mechanical uses Logi Options+ where my mouse uses Logi Options. Both programs offer little to the customizing experience. But they are required to update the firmware for the devices.
As much as I love this keyboard, I must remove a star for the software runaround. I’d love this so much more if that was tightened up.

This low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard is definitely a joy to type on. The feel of the keys while typing is pleasant, intended for office users who type up reports and/or manipulate data in various spreadsheets throughout their day. This is not a flashy keyboard by any means, but for its intended purpose it gets the job done with ease. Also, for a wireless keyboard I love the battery life on it! I've only charged it once since I bought the keyboard (it's been about a month now, that says a lot considering I'm connecting through BT).
I used a Logitect G915 previously and experienced issues with typing errors due to how sensitive the Clicky switches were. With the Tactile switches on this keyboard, I don't experience this issue at all. Aside from accurate typing, I have noticed that I am more proficient with daily work, as I migrate between at least two computers at a time in my line of work.
The only gripe I have about this keyboard is there are some keys on normal full-size keyboards that I depend on (Print Screen, Pause/Break, etc.) that are not on this computer. It was not included on this keyboard to tighten up the keyboard layout altogether. While this presented a learning curve (especially with a Lock Screen key on the very top right), I was able to overcome it within a span of a couple of weeks.
I've been using this keyboard now for about a month and I have not had any issues since overcoming my learning curve with this I/O device. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone who's seeking an upgrade to their typing experience overall.

I think I have tried most of the Logitech MX series and it's become my preferred series for business and personal use. My original MX keyboard was the best I had ever used...until now.
I cannot stress enough how much I love this keyboard. While the key strokes are louder, I have to say, I missed the sound of a mechanical keyboard. I find it much easier to type on this and might have to buy another one for my office setup.
Logitech makes their products really easy to set up and use. With Windows 11, all I had to do was put one of the keyboards 3 input options into pairing mode and the OS detected it and added it via bluetooth within seconds. I also use the Options to manage my MX devices as well which lets me customize Fn keys.
There are some cool new features on this MX, aside from the awesome mechanical keys; the voice typing shortcut is really handy, as is the mute button for the microphone and an emoji button. The backlighting is the best I've seen on a wireless keyboard and I appreciate the lighting on the space bar as well.
I type a lot for work and this keyboard has been an absolute pleasure to use.

>> Overview
The Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard (tactile quiet version) is a decent keyboard that can connect to up to three (3) devices running Windows, Linux and other OSes. With a flip of a key, you can switch from one machine to the other and continue typing. It is suggested to pair it with a MX Master 3S mouse for a complete experience (I haven’t done it since I have other Logitech mice.) This keyboard has been working fine connecting to Windows and Linux machines (I haven’t tried with other OSes.) The build and appearance overall allow for a quiet and enjoyable experience.
I primarily use Windows machines (Win10 and Win11) so most of the review will be on the keyboard being used in such systems.
- Pros: connects to up to three (3) devices, Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, rechargeable, quiet.
- Cons: mechanical keys feeling not so great.
>> Setup
(you can follow the mxsetup.logi.com to connect your new keyboard)
Attaching the device to your Windows machine through Bluetooth is effortless. There are three connect buttons on the keyboard, 1, 2 and 3 above the “home” key, you just need to press one of them until it is blinking and then your Windows machine will notify you whether you want to connect to it. Click on connect and you are set.
To connect wirelessly, using the Logi Bolt receiver adapter, is a little more convoluted, you’ll need to install first the Logi Options+ software (unless I read wrong and there is an easier way to connect.) Anyways, this needs some more manual intervention, search on the internet for “Logi Option+” software, download it from the Logitech appropriate site. After you launch the app, you need to select Add Device on the Logi Options+ software, select the “Logi Bolt receiver” and follow the instructions.
It is suggested to team this device with the MX Master 3S mouse. I didn’t do that since I already had a Logi M650 mouse, and I thought it would just be fine. Well, in fact it works fine, except for the mouse not automatically switching to the computer where the keyboard is being switched to. I think it is worth to upgrade your mouse and have a better experience with your different machines.
>> On Windows machines
The first thing I noticed was the lack of the “Windows” logo on the Start key, there is only a label “start” on that key. This small detail affects the experience of a Windows user, at least that was my case, I felt I was using a keyboard not intended for Windows machines.
The second thing I noticed is that the Print Screen and the other two keys that are found in any Windows keyboard, are missing. That space has been reclaimed, and now it hosts the three keys (1, 2 and 3) to switch the keyboard to one of the three devices the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard can connect to. However, there is a key, the F7 key, to bring up the Snipping tool to capture what you desire, but I don’t really like it and I think it might take some time to get used to it (well I still have other “regular” keyboards that I use here and there.)
I have mixed feelings, the keyboard overall is nice, but seems to lack that identity that ties it to Windows. Well, I think if there was a Windows logo, the same way there are a couple of keys unique to Mac (the Command and the Options key), I’d feel that the keyboard is intended to be used for Windows.
>> Battery
The battery is rechargeable, which is a plus in my book. In fact, this is the first keyboard that I own which doesn’t need AA or AAA batteries (even if those batteries are rechargeable.) To add a rechargeable battery was one great idea the manufacturer had.
>> Mechanical key feeling
To be honest, I was expecting a more “mechanical” feeling. I understand it is the quiet version, and it is good for not driving your co-workers in open space nuts, but perhaps I would have chosen the next less “quieter” version. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure this keyboard won’t cause any frictions if you are working with others in the same open space area, but to the detriment of the “mechanical feeling.” To compare to another Logitech keyboard, I also own a Logitech K845 mechanical keyboard which I use solely at home, it is louder, but I really enjoy the feeling, I am sure my wife doesn’t share that sentiment when I am typing on the K845 at 3 am in the morning next to our bedroom. Well, I guess this new MX keyboard will be a solution to that problem.
>> Logi Options+ Software
When I connected the keyboard to a new Windows 11 device, it didn’t ask me to install the Logi Options+ software; however, if I connect my older M650 mouse, then it asks to install it (I was expecting a more consistent behavior.) Anyways, I think the software is well crafted and useful. If you need to learn a few things about your keyboard, the “Feature Tour” option in the App highlights the capabilities of this mouse. For example, I didn’t know how to lock the F keys, going through the tour in the App, showed me that pressing “fn” plus “esc” did the trick. Also, you can combine the “fn” key with the other two keys that have a lock symbol to “Scroll lock/unlock” and to “Num lock/unlock”. Other aspect was learning how to change the light patterns (the key next to F12) and intensity (the F3 and F4 keys.) In summary, you can use the Logi Options+ App to learn about and customize your device.

The feel and look of this keyboard is incredible. The only gripe I have is some space between the function keys and the numerical keys would have been greatly appreciated. Takes a little getting used to for me, but the keyboard functions absolutely flawlessly, battery life is great even with the backlight being used. I have mine connected to my work computer (PC) and my iPad Pro and it works seamlessly with both.

Easily the best keyboard I have used. I had the original MX Mechanica keyboard, wired with the loud response, which I liked, but when I received this keyboard, I preferred the quietness of this one better. I like the feel of the keys better than the original one; the keys are just a tad bit slippery, but not a big deal.
There is no contest with the MAC original keyboard, I am not a huge fan, but I wish this keyboard had the fingerprint reader. I love that it is wireless and that the keys are backlit.
The best part of this keyboard is with all of the sales, total rewards membership discounts, and my certificates I got it for under thirty bucks, a steal
Highly recommend.

Great Keyboard, Premium Look & Feel

The Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard offers many nice features that I haven’t seen on many wireless keyboards. Given it is a mechanical type, not everyone many be a fan of this style of keyboard but for those that do like them, I believe it is a great keyboard. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.
In the box:
- Keyboard
- USB to USB-C Charging Cable
- Manual
- USB Wireless Adapter
Setup:
You can use this keyboard via Wireless Adapter or via Bluetooth. I wanted to use it via Bluetooth so I didn’t have to worry about taking up one of my USB ports with an adapter. This has proven to be a great choice because I don’t notice any real difference in performance. Setup is easy. Simply go to your Bluetooth settings on your computer, pair a new device (Same as Headphones), and find the keyboard. The computer will then ask you to input a pin on the keyboard and you are ready to go!
What I love about this keyboard is the fact there are three hotkeys you can program to switch between devices in real time. So you can have two-three devices setup from these keys and with a press of a button simply be able to type on any of them.
Usage:
This keyboard claims to be one of the quietest mechanical keyboard Logitech makes. Now I do not have a ton of experience with these types of keyboards but it seems to be only a hair quieter than gaming keyboards where people actually want noise from the keys. I would not say that this keyboard is extremely quiet by any means.
The backlight is pretty trick. The brightness range is good and is turns on and off with a delay if inactive for a while. What is very neat is the backlight is touch sensitive to the base. So you don’t have to press a key to get the backlight to turn on, simple resting your finger on the edge turns the light on. There are also several lighting options that can be used for both appearance or function to help you know which key/area you pressed on the keyboard.
Key travel is to be expected from this type of keyboard. The travel is longer than most I am used to but it is easy to get a feel for this keyboard and I have enjoyed typing on it. I would recommend a wrist pad for your arms to rest on if you use this keyboard for long periods. The tilting feet on the back help ergonomics but not fully.
Pros:
- Appearance/Design
- Colored Keys (Light Gray/Dark Gray)
- Hotkeys with several functions (Emoji, volume, brightness, 1,2,3 displays, etc.)
- Backlighting good
- Key feel spacing, good for those used to smaller keyboards
- Full keypad (Mini version also available without keypad)
- Bluetooth enabled
- USB-C Charging
Cons:
- No wrist pad included
- Heavy (if moving around consistently)
Given the premium feel, heavy weight, and overall design, this is a great keyboard for most people. There are very few drawbacks and would highly recommend for anyone looking at this keyboard.

This is my third mechanical keyboard, and it has ranged from green switches to brown switches. When I say this product has some weight and style to it... it does. It is a clean finish keyboard that allows you to get a smooth response from the traditional mechanical keyboards but is still quiet enough to be able to use at work. The brown switches are ideal for the work environment. The longevity of the battery, along with the option to connect with up to 3 devices, is a useful feature. With the Logitech recycle promotion currently active at Best Buy, this is a no-brainer.
Great buy!

Nice tactile touch keyboard - great connectivity

As a long time Mac user I've been through the cycles of being betrothed to the Apple peripherals, and then getting frustrated with them, and then when they release a new version going through the cycle all over again. Logitech seems to be the only vendor who consistently makes good peripherals that I keep coming back - and the MX Mechanical keyboard is now another one to add to my list.
I've actually been using the original MX Keys for Mac for a couple of years, and although it's been great for the home office I've been looking for something with a little more feedback and tactile touch. The MX mechanical keyboard delivers, with just enough to keep you in touch with the typing motion but not so loud that it sounds like you're living in an 80's office typing pool.
The main reason you're here is to hear about the noise - does it make a noise? Yes, but as I mentioned this is part of the whole tactile experience that people like me miss with regular soft-touch laptop keyboards. The keyboard is available in 3 different 'experiences' ( Tactile Quiet, Clicky and Linear.) so if you're in any doubt, I would suggest a trip to your local Best Buy to try them out in person. The example in my video is the tactile quiet version, which is just the write balance but it will be entirely down to you personal preference.
The MX retains all the features I loved from the original MX - with the ability to quick-switch between multiple devices (I use it to control 2 laptops connected to the same monitor). The only thing to call out here is that although you can still pair the keyboard through bluetooth, it no longer appears to support the Logitech Unified receiver - it instead ships with the new Logitech Bolt adapter. I only mention this in case like me you are already using the unified receiver for other devices - you may need to consider upgrading those to to be Bolt compliant. There are some nice options for the backlighting (including a 'random' mode and one where only the key you touch lights up - which is a cool gimmick but practically the only useful backlighting is constant so you can actually see the keys in the dark).
I would still recommend this full size keyboard over the mini version - its down to personal preference but the dedicated page navigation and number pad just seem to make my workflow a bit more streamlined without constantly flipping for FN or option keys to get what I need done.

Logitech hits the mark - again

Logitech has always been known - at least to me - as a manufacturer of quality long life products. I've had trackballs that have outlasted the life of the computers they're attached to. For the last 4-5 years I've been using their K800 keyboard that's performed magnificently; but I'm sorry old friend - the new kid on the block has outdone you!
First things first though - if your typing style requires a palm rest, you'll need to look elsewhere - or provide your own. I was unsure about this at first, but what I found was the multi functionality of the MX outdid the requirement for the palm rest. The MX can be used on your desktop, your tablet, or your TV if equipped with Bluetooth.
With the quick switch keys (picture below), you can easily move between devices. I've also added a shot of a size comparison with the K800. While the MX is by no means a mini keyboard, every square inch of it is functional. If you're using it with your TV, it's much more comfortable in your lap than a standard keyboard. And then, there's the weight factor. The aluminum top plate gives it a nice heft. so if you're not on a hard surface it's not going to be pushed around with the weight of your keystrokes.
Installation went perfectly, and the Logi options software is well done.
Function keys are pre-programmed (lighting, sound, etc), but with the Logi software you can customize to your preferences. Keyboard lighting has a number of different effects that can be enabled - no colors though.
I've included an "edge-on" shot so you can see how the keys are lifted from the baseplate; my immediate thought was "hey - no more gook stuck between the keys." Seems it will be easy to keep clean with a shot of compressed air. And then, there's the wow factor. It's really a sharp piece - desktop art if you will. I'm glad to add this to my Logitech family, and hopefully it will provide me with the same long life & quality service their other products have given me.

Fantastic keyboard. I got the tactile variant which has keys that are close in feeling to Cherry MX Brown switches. I have a work from home setup and am constantly switching between my own personal computer and my work laptop, so the multi-device functionality is very welcome. While the dongle is attached to my laptop, I can connect up to two other devices via Bluetooth with no perceived difference in connection quality or latency, which makes the keyboard worth it to me on its own.
Nothing in the way of very fancy lighting (limited to white LED backlights) and only one color option, but frankly I think what's there is a pretty slick looking package and I can't complain about the more low-key look compared to Logitech's gaming oriented mechanical keyboards.
The build is lightweight but made of good materials and is noticeably sturdy. Battery life is phenomenal (I've owned it for weeks now and only charged it once)
Definitely recommend this board.

To some, spending 159 dollars on a keyboard probably sounds absolutely ridiculous… your right! It is! However this keyboard is like having a cadillac when a chevy would be just fine.. This keyboard is reliable, quick, quiet and just super nice! Battery life is amazing, backlight works great. Pairing with multiple computers is a sweet feature even if i dont use it much. If you want a super good reliable wireless, mechanical keyboard. This one is a very solid option!

The new Logitech MX mechanical keyboard is here. Straight out of the box I give Logitech kudos for their packaging. They keep it simple by using recycled materials that is still very eye catching. Very well done marketing department.
The accessories that it comes with are also very minimal. One gray USB C to USB A cable, USB dongle, and paper safety/device notices. The keyboard itself looks very minimalistic and I would proudly like to show it off on my desk because it is so sleek looking. The keys themselves, are scrunched together but it still allows for backlighting to come through with a slight gap between keys. The arrow keys are grouped apart which is nice when trying to find them. The included number keypad is also easy to navigate to. Being that this keyboard is capable of being used by both Windows and MAC users, you will find keys that relate to both operating systems. It is comfortable to type and the quiet tactile keys feel precise when pressed. You can adjust the angle 8 degrees or keep flat, this depends on your level of comfort in the long run. Personally, I am going to add on a wrist rest to elevate the wrist slightly for added comfort.
Being able to take advantage of the multi-device connectivity, you can connect up to 3 devices via the included Logi Bolt usb dongle or Bluetooth. It is great that I can have my laptop open and use it to type there but then switch over to my tablet for a bit and then switch to my PC.
