Resorted to this keyboard because I needed to replace my old one. It doesn’t work well with my iMac. Learned later from Apple tech support that Logitech makes more compatible keyboards than this one. On the upside, the lighted keyboard is a bonus.

I have this keyboard for back up, not used it as of yet but great as a backup.

I bought it on 12/20/20 and I had to returned due to one of the keys coming off - it is a nice design but I don't think it worth the price

This item came without an instruction or info booklet or sheet. It has many different keys without an explanation. I am very disappointed in this lack of infol

Inexpensive but that's the point. Use in places where you have chances of destroying it.

I bought this one and the same brand's wireless one. Not sure why wired is more expensive, but this one was. Can't remember exactly which features I liked better on the wireless keyboard, but there were two or three that I liked it better on the wireless keyboard. Happy with the wireless one. Took this one back.

Have used this keyboard for years but this one is a little noisier than in the past. Otherwise works fine.

I haven't tried the actual keyboard to be honest - the reason being that I got two keyboards and both were missing at least 5 keys. Best Buy was great in exchanging the first one (which was missing several of the number keys). My fault for not checking the second one they sent me, which was actually missing even more keys, and I missed the exchange window. Disappointed and wishing I had gotten something else. I think this may be a manufacturer problem rather than one at Best Buy (then again, Best Buy sells the item and should own their defective products). Looking at the package again, it looks dirty with debris inside the actual plastic bag containing the keyborad. It looks like somebody bought it, took out some keys to replace ones on another keyboard and just returned this one. Twice. Pretty disgruntled. I would shop elsewhere.

Nice and smooth but has flaw, some key just dont work period

I like the design and it was easy to use, but after 4 months of use, one of the keys broke off while typing and there is no way to fix it.

Smelled very bad so I returned it. The whole room ended up having that seemingly toxic smell. Otherwise it was backlit and would have done the job.

This keyboard is a piece of junk. If you use the legs to prop the rear up, the whole keyboard flexes as you type on it. And every time I press the left SHIFT key, it puts the CAPS LOCK key on. I am surprised that Logitech would put out such a poor quality product.

This keyboard was amazing. It looked awesome, felt great, and was just plain cool with the back-lighting and being thinner overall than a any other keyboard you've ever used. Unfortunately, I do a fair amount of video and photo editing and gaming, so this keyboard has it's drawbacks. Although it was very easy to use after hours without straining your eyes and was incredibly comfortable, it has a (seemingly pointless and incredibly frustrating) built-in key-blocking system in the hardware itself. The manufacturer's defense is that at some point there needs to be a limit put on the number of keys being pressed at once so that the matrix that responds to the keypress combinations is not overloaded. A seemingly logical argument other than the fact that pressing down 3 keys at once should yield a result...that's a pretty standard number for a host of applications. For example, running and jumping in a first-person-shooter is a basic maneuver that one would need to utilize if they are running from someone taking shots at them or are just trying to traverse a map. By default in most games this would require holding W (move forward), Shift ("sprint"), and then pressing Space (jump) at some point. This basic combination was blocked (why? Gross.). Additionally, a number of Adobe photo shop and after effectscs4 & cs5 hot key functions were non-responsive. Luckily, as I predicted, Logitech was very understanding and is currently replacing the model with a "gaming keyboard" (I believe the G15) free of charge since they are both in the same price range. Logitech makes quality products, so the setbacks were very unexpected. Overall, for the casual user, this keyboard is the way to go for everything that you'd need. Definitely worth checking out (since Best Buy / Logitech offers a 30-day "trial" with both the keyboards and mice). -Kevin

Ok, I will admit, at the suggested price this is a bit excessive. I got this on sale at significant savings and was quite worth it. Keyboard enthusiast love a good laptop keyboard. They are usually quite quieter and the short throw of the keys is much desired. Logitech had taken those two key features and created a desktop keyboard for us to enjoy. The design of this keyboard is very modern, which is nice. Nice but it is all about function over form for most. And the function of this keyboard is amazing. The lighted keys, while may not be very necessary, is done very well and professionally. This is not your teen gamers keyboard, but it will out perform it. The keys themselves have you feeling like you are typing on air, but still strong enough to let you know you are typing. If you like typing on a laptop, like a full size keyboard, like something that looks sleek and modern, go out and buy this. You wont regret it.

Ok.. I plead guilty. I have been buying keyboards the last few years... or maybe decades more for the sizzle of wireless, or all sorts of neato button features that I never used. I had concluded that the days of corded keyboards with a great feel had passed by. New ones that came with new pcs of late, and even add ons all disappointed. This jewel has great key travel distance, enough tactile and sonic feedback to make me very very content. The backlighting feature for me is a super bonus. Seems like the highly legible keycaps, with backlighting gets my pinkies to the right keys every time. The overall design is elegant, The special F key functions seem at least useful, and I find myself not even leaving the kb, and using key combos instead of mose clicking. The kb is heavy enough not to slide around my desktop. I too find the overall feel reminiscent of IBM kbs of yore, or perhaps the great old keytronics. Do yourself a favor. Get one of these.

Nice design but space bar and shift key did not work.

Was great, but didn't last much over a years. I bought two of these and wound up throwing both away because they died.

I'm heavy into the ergonomic keyboards. I've had the same ergo keyboard for over 8+ years (its still ps2!) now and I love it. If you type by touch, you should always go with an ergo keyboard. The only reason I decided to get a new keyboard (and actually decided to get a non ergo layout) was because my 6 year old keyboard was wearing out and the keys just didn't glide like they used to. I also wanted a keyboard with a little bit more snap to the key push. Having just built a new workstation with new logitech speakers and mouse, I decided it was time to upgrade they keyboard. The only other ergonomic keyboards had gawdy wrist rests and were bulky and well... ugly. Having tried out all they other keyboards at best buy... I fell in love with this one. They keystrokes feel absolutely perfect. Its quiet, sleek, and very minimal. I'm constantly switching between my tablet and my keyboard and this will actually sit right over my Wacom 12x9 intuos3 without resting on the writing surface... and even with those two things stacked on top of each other, they are thinner than my old ergonomic keyboard. The soft touch wrist rest feels great and provides just enough grip so my hands don't slip down as i'm typing. They only worry I have is that over time the soft touch my wear down. I think i've said enough. Its a great keyboard if you appreciate a nice feeling keystroke, simple elegant design, and hey... its BACKLIT! the only other backlit keyboards are the stupid gaming keyboards that look like toys. Not my cup o tea. If you want wireless... you're out of luck. This baby is wired... but I'm not a wireless fan. Its one less battery to worry about changing. With proper cable management wires can be neat and tidy. I just wish logitech would make an ergonomic version of this keyboard. While it is a bit pricy for a simple wired keyboard... you are paying for logitech's ergo R&D. they have the most comfortable mice. They definitely put some work into making this keyboard feel the way it does. Well done logitech. NOW MAKE AN ERGONOMIC VERSION!!!

I do production typing for a living and just bought this keyboard today. This is the best keyboard for my vocation. The wrist rest and keys have made the pain and numbness that occur in my hands obsolete tonight. Have not had this happen in many months! The backlit keyboard makes it perfect for having dim lighting and being able to see all the keys easily. The soft touch keyboard is so easy on the hands, and with it being wired the response is immediate. I love this keyboard and am so glad I bought it!

Let me start right off by saying, this is a darn good keyboard. I'd been spoiled by the backlit keyboards on my MacBook Pros, and found myself wanting that feature in other situations when I’m not using the keyboard on the machine itself. At home, I often work in low-light settings, with an external monitor & keyboard, so it was always a small annoyance that I could never see the keys of my external keyboard in those situations. So I set out to find a backlit external keyboard. And to be honest, there really weren't very many products to look at. There were some dreadful-looking (and EVEN MORE expensive) keyboards made primarily for gamers, from companies like Saitek & Deck. But I'm not a gamer, and these keyboards just looked offensive to me. I pretty much narrowed it down to 2 products: This one & another one from a company called (similarly) Logisys. As the Logisys costs less than half as much as this one, it was easy to make the decision to go for that one initially. And to be fair, the Logisys is a nice keyboard. A formidable option if you don't want to drop the extra cash on this one. But I couldn't let go of my curiosity about this one, as there were just a few little niggles on the Logisys that made me keep wondering about this one. So I finally just bit the bullet, and paid more than I've ever expected to spend on a keyboard. So, now that I have them BOTH, and have tested them side-by-side, what do I think? Well, as I said, the Logisys (the other one) IS nice. It's well-constructed, and it gives you a choice of either blue or red illumination. But the keys are a bit sticky, the action just OK, and the illumination isn't quite as bright as I'd like. And while the blue illumination is OK (the red is just not my cup of tea at all), I'd much prefer something a bit brighter, and NOT colored; something more akin to the illumination I get from the MacBook Pro keyboard. Honestly, had I not tried this one, I probably would have been content to carry on using the Logisys. But I DID try this one. And I’m glad I did. Because once you have, there’s really no going back. The Logitech (this one) is clearly the superior product. It's sleek, elegant, and VERY well-crafted. The action is EXCELLENT, and the illumination is even & bright. It is a very professional-looking keyboard, and a joy to type on. Despite all those positives, though, it still seems (to me) a bit overpriced for what you ultimately get. It is just a keyboard after all (how ever nice it may be). I think a more accurate price for this keyboard would be about $30-40. I know that this product is less than half the price of their diNovo Edge Keyboard, but those are, in my mind, ridiculously priced, and I could never dream of spending so much for a keyboard. I believe that Logitech is, ultimately, aiming at a very narrow margin of people who care about such things as the action of their keyboard, and illumination, and are willing to pay for it. Hopefully, there are enough people to warrant the continued manufacture of this product, but I'd be happy to simply see the price come down a bit. When you're thinking about spending this much on a keyboard, it's very easy to ignore the quality & seek out something cheaper (as I did initially). Logitech will probably lose a few sales because of this. It's a darn good product, but a tad overpriced in my opinion.
