Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a new keyboard quickly for a new project computer. I prefer the feedback and "clickiness" of mechanical keyboards but the prices for most are just not what I'm willing to pay for a keyboard. This hits the sweet spot of responsiveness, build quality, and price. I like the key feedback and it is easy to type on.

The construction of the keyboard is good and the aluminum materials in it give it a quality feel. Also the keys give nice mechanical feedback and sound and travel. However, there is software you download from Logitech to enable you to customize some of the keys and I found the software to be totally incompatible with this keyboard and/or my totally up to date windows 10 system. The software was TOTALLY useless and therefore I am unable to access the customizable features of my keyboard. I contacted Logitech and they were responsive but in no way did they solve the problem or make the software work in any way. The software DOES NOT even recognize this keyboard. The techs seemed to be unaware of how this worked and finally they stopped communicating. I would normally return this product, and Best Buy is good about returns, but the keyboard basic function is fine and I do like the mechanical feel so who knows. But I would not recommend it. PS I have many other Logitech products that all worked flawlessly over many years so this keyboard/software issue is a real surprise and a one off.

I recently bought this to use in my home office / studio setup and I couldn't be happier with this keyboard. For the price it offers a great mechanical keyboard experience that is comfortable to type on for hours without issues. The backlighting is plain white and looks really professional if being used in an office setting. Using the function key you have the ability to manipulate the brightness, volume, and other computer functions. This keyboard has some heft to it as it is built out of a mix of thick plastic and an aluminum chassis. The only thing slightly abnormal about K845 is the font used on the keycaps, some of the symbols are a little odd looking. I highly recommend this keyboard for anyone wanting to use it for professional or even gaming use.

I am not good with the keyboard so I had to get some help with this one. Now I think it is really nice with the lit keyboard. I had trouble seeing the letters on the old one. This one makes typing easy and now my eyeballs do not get tired.

It takes awhile to get use to the new keyboard with the raised keys and the clacking of the keys but I always know where my fingers are and after getting use to the change, my typing speed has increased more!!!

It is GREAT ... I enjoy hearing the old fashion CLITTY CLOCK keyboard as i type .. I'm old and evolved into the WWW and computer evolution ... PLUS the keys are brightly LIT!!!!

For those who like an old fashioned keyboarding experience, this keyboard could be the One! It has all of the keys we got used to in the old days on windows computers and windows keyboards. The action is smooth and responsive. It is an excellent choice for fast typist. Because it is mechanical, it does make a sound. Those who grew up with typewriters will like that. It is a plug and play device that works well and has a familiar keyboard key arrangement. Pros: it is responsive so that a person can type really fast; the layout is comfortable; it has all of the standard keys; The installation is as simple as plugging it into a USB port. keys are a good size, and touch typist will have no problem using this keyboard. Cons: None! This is a dream keyboard

I love my Logitech K845. I have very poor eyesight and the letters light up, making them easier to see! I young man at Best Buy named Jose helped me find this item and I have used it about a year with wonderful ease.

Love the snap to the keys, you can tell this is a well built keyboard and worth the money. A friend recommended that I buy a mechanical keyboard , I tried it, and will never go back to a standard type again.

It's not an ergonomic keyboard, but it's perfect if you don't need an ergonomic keyboard. It may not have the fanciest switches, but I wouldn't know any better because it's my first mechanical keyboard. The fit and finish is a step up from most regular keyboards imho. The LEDs are nice but a little annoying. I wish there was one more gradation between the lowest brightness setting and off, but it's fine. Cable is long, keys are good, and it's weighty in a nice way.

Excellent tactile keyboard, illuminated characters on the keys help a lot when you work in dimmed room

Awesome budget-friendly keyboard if you want the mechanical feel, but not the loud gaming aesthetics. The red switches are ok, not as good as the cherry MX switches, but still feels very good to type and sports an awesome clean look. Perfect if you need a new addition to your office or home workspace. The only downsides would be the lack of a detachable cable and does not include a key puller for cleaning purposes. But for only $60, I think it's forgivable.

The keys on the Logitech-K845 wired Keyboard sits high, which is how I like them! It makes it easier for me to type faster. That along with the noise of the keyboard reminds me of the old typewriter I used to have. Also, I like the fact that the keys light up when I turn it on, very nice! It’s an awesome keyboard! I’m very happy that I found this one, I like it even better than the other models, and the price was right! It would be even better if it was wireless!

The K845 from Logitech is a wonderful keyboard for gaming and typing on a budget, but there are some flaws. The switches that came with mine (TTC Red linear) have a little twang noise whenever the key is pressed, and are a tiny bit scratchy. The stabilizers are also a little on the wobbly side, but I had no trouble typing on it. (Note that the keycaps pick up fingerprints very easily due to them being abs plastic.) The sound is as what you would think for a red switch keyboard of this price, and is fairly quiet, and considering that this keyboard is meant for office use, it's a great keyboard for typing and gaming, especially for the price, and I look forward to using it. (do note if you are looking for a gaming keyboard, try to spring for the cherry version of this keyboard, or splurge on a higher quality keyboard.)

I haven't had much time using the keyboard, however it has an excellent build quality. Keys are nice and clicky. Good backlight.

Excellent keyboard, easy to use and see with lighted keys.

Overall this keyboard is good for the price. The switches are consistent however the lighting is sub-par in my eyes. The lack of an adjustable wire, dedicated media controls, and even a small wrist rest was quite disappointing but did not take away from the feel of the keyboard. If you are looking for an entry-level mechanical keyboard, and do not care about lighting, media keys, or wrist rest, this is a nice keyboard. It feels good to type on and the 'red' switches do feel similar to a cherry MX red switch. If you can splurge more for your keyboard, go get a higher-end model like a razer Blackwidow tenkeyless, or a higher-end Logitech keyboard.

Seems very solid, well-made and likely to hold up better than did its predecessors, which were membrane keyboards. Since I’m no speed-typist and not going to be using this keyboard to write any books, essays or even letters, it’s probably a bit more than I need but at this price and with this build, I won’t complain.

Great keyboard. Feels very sturdy and durable. Keys feel nice and I like the illumination of the keys.

I have to type a lot. During the course of the work day it becomes more and more harder to type as fatigue sets in. This keyboards soft touch mechanical keys reduce the fatigue and the satisfaction of the keys contact. The tactile response of keys and sound of the keys lets me know that the key has been typed. On the other hand my previous membrane keyboard also does the same job but does not give the new keyboards sound and feel
