this is a nice keyboard, I love the mechanical aspects

great keyboard. I love it. i use it everyday. nice

For the money, it is a great keyboard. But if you want something really cool, look elsewhere.

This keyboard "skips" and leaves spaces in typed words. Have to go back and correct NOT GOOD - WILL PROBABLY RETURN> has happened on last keyboard I bought - returned - and the new one is doing the same???????

This is a sweet keyboard for the price. I only wish it changed colors.

This wasn’t exactly what I wanted but it will do for the mean time.

Great gaming keyboard. Simple keyboard without changeable LED light.

Very nice and smooth with the exception that it’s not wireless.

Expensive for a low-end keyboard. Much noisier than expected (compared to the one on display) and less tactile. They keys appear to be full-sized. But the ease with which I can accidentally hit Caps Lock when I'm reaching for "a" seems to imply that spacing isn't what I'm used to (I am a touch typist). The number keys in the top row feature the shifted and unshifted characters next to each other, not one above the other. "HM" instead of "Home," "PU" for "Page Up," "PD" for "Page Down." "())" for the zero key is especially fun. And, in an attempt to be aesthetic, the font on the key caps features break in the line of the character.

Very loud keyboard. Not great for shared offices.

Not good fsiled to wrk and sticky keys, to top it off they have 3 differant type on keyboards with the same part @

My favorite keyboard right now is the Logitech G513. It has great feel and keyboard travel, much like the vaunted old IBM keyboards. But like the IBM keyboard, it’s a very loud ‘clicky‘ sounding keyboard. I wanted that feel for my work PC, but without the gaming keyboard price. The K845 Mechanical Linear Keyboard meets the need. It has much of the same feel of my beloved G513 clicky keyboard without breaking the bank. Yes, this K845 has real mechanical switches at this price. A great deal. The mushy pillow feeling most OEM keyboards have just don’t cut it when you type fast and need that precision feel to keep typing fast. This has the same full size keyboard spacing, keycap shape, key travel, and feel of my favorite keyboard. If you ever used a typewriter, this keyboard will feel comfortable, not at all like the basic keyboards that ship with PC’s. This keyboard is well made. The aluminum top provides a good solid base that resists flexing. It has a minimal footprint, barely larger than the keycaps. To get any smaller, the keycaps and spacing would need to shrink. That’s a hard adjustment for heavy typist. The keyboard legs let can choose between a 4 and 8 degree keyboard angle. The mechanical keys are tall, taller than most OEM keyboards to allow for keystroke travel. The feel of these tall keys is so much better. The thin cable is about 6’feet long. Setup is plug and play on Windows 7 and above. There is no software available from Logitech, all features such as lighting are controlled solely by using the FN keys. The letters should not wear off and the keycaps are not printed with the font. The fonts are more translucent so that they let the LED backlighting light them up. When not lit, the font appears grey on a black keycap. A bit hard to make out, but not a concern since the keys light up. The keyboard has three levels of LED lighting adjusted using the FN keys. Not only is the font on the keycaps lit, but there is also a glow from the bottoms of the keycaps that light the base with a pleasant even background glow. The intensity of the background glow adjusts with the light level chosen so that it does not detract from the keycaps lighting. Unlike my gaming keyboard, lighting is limited to white, which suits office work. But it’s not bare bones work. In addition to having all keys remain evenly lit (static), there are four other lighting affects you can choose from. • Random: The keycaps can be set to twinkle randomly regardless of your typing. If you wish to break yourself of looking at the keyboard and being more a touch typist, this can help break that habit. Or you can torture any visual typist using your keyboard. • Reactive: Set the keyboard lighting to a very low light level and then momentarily brightly light the keys as you press them with a bit of trailing light after you release them. • Serpent: Set the keys to light in sequence with the lit keys snaking its way down and across through all the keys. • Breathing: The keyboard lights be set to slowly fade in and out as if it is ‘breathing’. There are also FN keys to launch Calculator and start a media program; go forward/back a track and adjust volume. The K845 is a solid and attractive keyboard for the heavy or precision typist. You great the great feel of a mechanical keyboard at a very attractive price. The keyboard and mouse are the tools you use to interface with your PC. It’s worth upgrading these to make the most of your PC. At this price, the decision is a no brainer.

At first it is good, but after 9 month of usage, there are some keys does not performs

It is well known that Logitech has focused its efforts on creating a line of very good quality products at an excellent price and this keyboard is no exception, this review is being written with the Logitech k845 keyboard :) First of all, I want to address the issue of aesthetics since from the moment you take the keyboard out of its box, the aesthetics are impressive, serious but attractive colors, black and silver a perfect combination and with the placement of the keys in a relatively small space, makes this keyboard look very elegant. It has a balanced weight, in addition to non-slip rubbers that actually have a good grip since at least for me it is important that my keyboard remains in the place I want even though I use it to type or play. The lighting is a one of the functions that I appreciate a lot, despite being only white, it gives you the option to choose the type of lighting or simply turn off the light, in places with low light it looks great and does not hurt the sight, it has Red Linear keys which facilitate writing since there is no need to press hard and all the way down to each key and, together with the spaces between each one, makes it less frequent to make the mistake of pressing two keys at the same time, that usually happens with the regular keyboards that the desktop pc comes by default. I must say that the experience of using a mechanical keyboard is superior to that of a conventional keyboard, the sound that the keys emit with each click is very rewarding, of course it depends on the tastes of each person, it fascinates me. The precision is very good and I believe that it makes typing much easier. The keyboard can be raised a little for greater comfort, the elevation is not much but enough, the cable to connect it to the pc is thick and resistant, the same color as the keys ... good detail Logitech. In summary, I could say that it is very enjoyable and if you are looking for a mechanical keyboard at an affordable price, of good quality and with (white) lighting, this is a very good option, highly recommended.

I’ve used quite a few Logitech products and have appreciated the quality and durability they offer. In using this K845 keyboard with Red Linear Switches I feel it hits a happy medium between the cheaper keyboards that come with a computer and the more expensive options that exist for gaming and general computer use. Someone who games a lot will want to invest in a more expensive keyboard option that allows for features such as macro keys, more lighting options, etc… I really like Logitech’s line of keyboards that offer an aluminum frame. Aesthetically they are much better looking than a plastic keyboard and offer a durability that is going to last. The mechanical switches are tested for 50 million clicks and the keyboard design is comfortable to use with a curved profile, slim front and 4 to 8 degree tilt options. For at home use, I prefer this corded keyboard option over previous cordless keyboards I have utilized. The twelve function keys offer plenty of choices including backlight brightness, search, calculator, media, and volume controls. Hit Fn + F12 to toggle through 5 lighting patterns including Reaction (lights up keys as you type), Breathing (lights pulse), Random (twinkling effect), Greedy Snake (lights slither across keyboard) and Static. For me, Static is the best option for my room lighting conditions. For $59.99, the K845 Mechanical Illuminated keyboard has a lot of nice features and I can easily recommend it. If you are in a super quiet office or setting the red linear switches may still be a bit noisier than one may prefer. Also, the font on this keyboard takes a bit of getting used to. Perhaps it is intended to be current or different, but some symbols are just a bit annoying since it puts a gap in the curve on the “@” and “&” keys. I’d prefer the gaps didn’t exist on the graphics for these symbols. Also, perhaps it wasn’t in line with the minimal footprint of this keyboard, but I would love it even more if it had a scroll wheel for volume. The K845 keyboard is a good option; the hard part is just deciding which of the 5 switch choices is best for you.

The Logitech K845 is beautiful and modern looking. I love the steel grey color and look of the board and keys. The keyboard feels very strong and well built. Logitech claims that it has been tested to last 50 million clicks. Seems Legit. This keyboard feels like it will definitely outlive your computer. It has kickstands so you can tilt it up, they are stable and have rubber feet to keep the keyboard from sliding. The keyboard backlight has a nice glow that lights up the keys well without being too bright. The keys are pretty big, raised and well spaced. They have very good travel with a satisfying click. The sound honestly reminds me of the good old fashioned keyboards I learned to type on in school. It was very simple to set up, literally just plug it into a usb port and it's ready to go in seconds. No drivers to download. I was pleasantly surprised by the different lighting effect options. You can toggle through different settings by pressing the FN key and F12. My personal favorite is the setting that lights up the keys are you press them.. lol Its a gimmick but it made me smile. Be patient with it when you first start using it. You'll have to find a typing position that works for you. I made so many errors and miss clicks for the first 5 minutes of use with this keyboard. I think that mostly has to do with the fact that I am used to typing on a flat laptop keyboard. You have to adjust to the high keys and not having a palm rest. I did not try gaming with this keyboard because my desktop computer honestly can't run anything other than minecraft and solitaire so I can't comment on gaming with this. I think most people would be pleased with this keyboard after taking the time to get used to it. I like its compact form , large keys and it has been comfortable to type on.

The keyboard works fine except in the 8 months I had this, the print on the letters has eroded. I had my last keyboard for years without this happening. Also the letter S has to be pressed hard otherwise it skips the S.

The K845 mechanical keyboard. I opened up the box and it’s exactly as I expected. A keyboard, a warranty card, and nothing else. This isn’t my first Logitech mechanical keyboard, so most if not all my PCs and OsX machines have G Hub installed. No biggie, right? Well… I fire up an older Windows 10 I5 desktop as it needs a better keyboard. I open G Hub, expecting it to need updated because it’s been a while since I’ve used that unit. Nope, I can open the application and as I click the icon in the taskbar, I can see it ghost off-screen and back to minimize. So, I uninstall the app and download the latest one from Logitech. Tada, it fires up and I good to go…nope, G Hub doesn’t see the keyboard. I’m guessing it’s too new and not in the latest update. That wouldn’t have been an issue, but I wanted to change the backlight color. It’s white and I prefer something else. So, I do what everyone does, I Google it. Seems the K845 doesn’t change colors. It only has white. Huh, so what does it do. I can’t find the keyboard instructions from the support site only the product info. So, Google some more and I see that I have 5 choices of lighting. I can watch it scroll each row, have it light various keys in a pattern, watch them fade from bright to dark, off or as a default, lit. I’ll stay with the default. What else does it do? Well, I can control the brightness with the FN key and F2. Eh, I leave it at full brightness. So that’s really all the lighting features. What I like about the keyboard. It has height adjusters and I like mine with legs fully extended. You can also go halfway and have more of an incline if you prefer. The keys. I love gaming/mechanical keyboards. I’m older and learned to type on old IBM electric typewriters and most people that see me type mention I bang the keys. It’s just the way I was taught. Doing that on a regular PC keyboard is unfulfilling and doesn’t give me the response I look for. I’m typing this review on a Logitech G513 and I love it. It’s my main keyboard. That may change though, as the K845 feels more like an old school keyboard. I make fewer errors on it and the keys just seem more responsive. They also seem more blocky (is that a word) or not so round and soft. Lastly, I like that the numbers row has backlit the shift options, something the G513 lacks. It has the icons, but only the numbers are backlit. What I dislike about the K845. It doesn’t have a pass-through USB. I like to have that available for either my mouse or as a quick open hub. That’s it. The keyboard works for me and if you like the feel of a spring-loaded keyboard, then this is a pretty decent choice. I’d recommend it to my friends.

Fine for a Wired keyboard. Bulky and large, a little expensive for not being wireless, wouldn’t recommend or l buy again.

The Logitech K845 is a Mechanical Illuminated keyboard. By going with a mechanical keyboard, there are five key switch options, so the user can select the one that fits their typing preference. The Red Linear is the most commonly used switch, allowing for smooth typing and a fast response time. I can type quickly with this and it feels comfortable to use. The switches and the metal base they sit in are sturdy and seem like this keyboard will last for a long time. It seems taller than some, but it is more the impression given because it has no extra space around the keys, just what it needs to hold them. It takes up less space on my desk, which is great; there is never enough room for all the peripherals and other items needed for work. My previous keyboard is much bigger, and I like that this gives me the extra space. It is wired, so there’s no need to worry about connection issues. I just plugged it in and it worked right away. While it is not much bigger than a compact keyboard, this one still has full size keys and the ten key number pad on the side, with feet that can be used to lift it a little. It has little pads that seem to grip the desk. This enables faster typing because it won’t slide around. A feature that is for show rather than functionality is the illumination. It doesn't help me type any faster, but I like the option for backlit keys. The F12 function key lets you choose between five different backlighting patterns, and the F1 and F2 can lower or increase the brightness of the lighting. It doesn’t have other colors, but it’s nice to have a little fun with the illumination, especially if I’m using it in a lower light setting. The function keys can be used for other things, like watching videos or listening to music. I’d say this is 4.5 stars, it’s solidly built and does what it’s meant to, but a little clicky for me. I would probably get the Brown Tactile Switch version of the K845 if I had it to do differently, as the description says it’s quieter. My recommendation is to think about (and read about) which one fits you, and select the switch based on that. It’s light on frills and additional features, but I like that it is illuminated, doesn’t take up a lot of space, and is solidly made.
