In terms of performance, the keys offer decent tactile feedback and are a joy to use for typing (like this review). There’s just about enough clickety sound to give you that mechanical keyboard feels without disturbing your colleague in the adjacent cubicle trying to catch a quick post-lunch nap.
Key customisation options are low, which may not suit the likes of designers or editors who want a world of shortcuts right at their fingertips. For the rest of us, there are more than enough shortcuts sitting atop the function keys. Logitech has also added a backlight to this keyboard, which is a welcome addition. You can even choose to increase or decrease the brightness or their lighting style. Our personal favourite is ‘Reaction’, wherein each key that is pressed lights up. Something they borrowed from their gaming lineup.
Unlike the POP series, there’s a built-in battery here, which has a claimed battery life of around 15 days that can extend up to 10 months with the backlit turned off. We’ve been using the keyboard with the backlight for a couple of weeks now, and the battery life has only fallen to 55%, which is quite impressive.
