Durable, Satisfying, and Comfortable to Type On
This keyboard has quickly become one of my favorites. The build quality is excellent—it feels solid and can definitely handle heavy use without any issues. I spend long hours typing, and the smooth keypress feel makes it super comfortable for extended sessions.The clickiness is just right—satisfyingly tactile with a nice audible response that makes typing feel more engaging. It strikes a great balance between feedback and feel. While I’ve seen mixed feedback on the functionality and backlighting, mine has worked well so far. The backlight helps in low-light settings, and though it doesn’t stay on forever, it’s still useful. I also happen to like the stylish grey design, and while it’s a bit louder than some ultra-slim keyboards, I personally enjoy the sound.All in all, a great keyboard that’s comfortable, responsive, and well worth the price.

Beautiful keyboard
So I just received and began to use this keyboard today. I am pretty blown away by how nice it looks, how good it feels, and just the experience overall. Compared to my previous keyboard, I already like this a fair amount more. For reference, I was using the Corsair k57 RGB wireless. Also a quite nice keyboard, but this has a much more premium feel. It’s also much more professional looking, which is why I chose it as I plan to use this in an office environment. Some thoughts below.-The clicks are super nice, I’ve never used a “clicky” switch with feedback like this before and I quite enjoy it. Probably my favorite feedback I’ve had from just typing on a keyboard. The various corsair boards I’ve used in the past I typically chose a quiet and/or a linear switch.-Overall a very nice, professional look. I wouldn’t expect any weird looks with a keyboard like this in a professional environment.-Pairing was easy, plugged in the receiver and it instantly connected; no other input needed. Even the sister product to this never did that for me, the MX master 3S mouse. I had a bit of a struggle trying to get that to pair using the included receiver, as I recall. (Otherwise one of my favorite mice, also coming from a mostly corsair brand background). There is also bluetooth pairing, if preferred. (or if the receiver refuses to work, like my MX master 3S.)One minor negative is the backlight. The first problem was even getting the keyboard to light up at all. The keys for the keyboard backlight simply did not seem to function at all, no matter if I had the FN key held or not. Puzzled, I installed logitech’s software and looked for options there. No luck. A bit annoyed at this point. Luckily, their software offered me access to an upcoming beta version of their software, “Logitech Options”, so I downloaded that to poke around and see if there were more settings there. As it turns out there were. Oddly, they didn’t work though. The keyboard refused to light up, the keys meant to dim or brighten it doing nothing at all. As I began a search to see if this was a common issue, the backlight finally came on. No idea what changed. Pretty standard white LED backlights. Lots of pissed off customers on forums about it though. Apparently, Logitech has been pretty silent about the issue. I’d be pissed too, if my $200 keyboard didn’t have a functioning backlight due to software issues.With that rambling anecdote, the backlight itself is just fine, about what I expected for a professional keyboard like this. Just clean white LEDs.In summary, a very nice looking, nice feeling premium keyboard. Pretty unassuming in a professional environment. Easy setup. Quite happy with it.Edit: The backlight does not seem to remember brightness settings between use sessions, so if you will get super annoyed or angry about having to hit brightness up each time you use, that’s something to consider. Most annoyingly, if the room is deemed “too bright” by the sensor, the backlight will not turn on at all. Understandable, but I’d still like the option.

This keyboard is pretty amazing. I own a HHKB, and a Pok3r. I build and customize my own keyboards. I bought this mainly because of the Logitech Flow feature. But first, I wanted to talk about the keyboard itself and why I think this is the best office keyboard to date.The build quality is amazing. It’s sturdy, and the internals are very tight, which means, no rattling, no added noise or reverbiation. As a result, this is a very quiet mechanical keyboard (I can only speak for the brown switch version).The keycaps are made out of recycled plastic, but they don’t feel cheap. They are quite smooth and easy to type with. The typing experience is very consistent and smooth (see type test photo). My typing speed is consistent with my other keyboards, but for me, it’s definitely feels much better to type with tactile silent switches compared to my other keyboards.Even though this keyboard is a low profile keyboard, there are flip up feet at the bottom of the keyboard to lift it up a little more to get a better angle if that’s what you prefer.The lights are nice, but what makes this keyboard really stand out is when it doesn’t use the lights at all. Without the backlights on, this keyboard can do 10 months on 1 charge, which is completely unheard of for a mechanical full size wireless keyboard. I’ve had this keyboard for a couple of days on the whole time, and by now, my other wireless 60% would have died and required a recharge.There is only one issue with this keyboard which is customization. For Macros, only some of the keys (F Keys and Cursor Targeting Group) can be customized vs what I am used to, which is being able to customize every single key. For customizing the physical look itself such as changing the switches or the keycaps, this keyboard cannot be customized like that. The spacebar doesn’t use standard stabilizer stem widths. You can replace every key cap except for the spacebar. You also cannot change the switches unless you know some soldering which is not recommended.As for the reason why I bough the keyboard. I absolutely love it! The logitech flow option allows me to move from my multiple computer setups with only one keyboard and mouse. I often multitask, I have a computer running 24/7 as my “smart tv” as well as my personal laptop, and my work computer. Considering how I can flow through all those computers from one set of mouse and keyboard without having to physically switch the mouse to use that specific computer is absolutely game changing. I feel like I am using one computer, even though they are all completely seperated.Whenever a product can make someone’s life easier, is when you know you have something truly revolutionary. For work and every day use, this is absolutely the best office keyboard to date.

Few things I like about it:1. Easy connectivity to switch between devices2. Minimalistic Design3. Good battery life.4. Personally, I like the feel of the clicky switches.Switches are ultimately a preference choice. Personally, I tried all three of the switches and these are my recommendationIf I were to rank them based on typing feel, it would be Clicky -> Linear -> Tactile Quiet.Clicky: Best typing feel of them all, can accurately feel that I have pressed the button, noise is a bit loud so make sure to check with people around you before you decide to purchase it.Linear: Feels like a normal keyboard, instead of a mechanical one. However, it is very smooth and nice to type as well, noise is the smallest.Tactile Quiet: The weirdest feeling out of them all, this is supposed to be a compromise between the two so maybe that’s why it feels weird, it’s not mechanical enough that you get that satisfying feel and noise every time you press a key. So sometimes I am not sure if I have pressed it. On the other hand, it is not smooth enough to have a normal keyboard feel.

The Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard is more than just a mouthful to say. It’s a powerful, flexible, and beautifully engineered piece of technology that promises to redefine your typing experience.Upon unpacking the keyboard, one cannot overlook the attention to detail. The metal construction and minimalistic design make this keyboard not just a peripheral but an elegant addition to your workspace. The solid build feels premium, providing an assurance of durability.One of the most noticeable features is the illumination of the keys. It’s highly customizable with the accompanying software, which lets you adjust the intensity and color to suit your preference or match your workspace aesthetics. The illuminated keys are not just beautiful to look at, but they’re practical too, making it effortless to type in dimly lit environments.As a wireless keyboard, it’s impressive how seamlessly it connects to different platforms, including macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, thanks to the Bluetooth and USB-C connections. The keyboard provides a solid connection without any perceptible latency – an essential feature for both casual and heavy-duty typists. Moreover, the battery life is commendable, lasting several weeks on a single charge under normal usage conditions.The standout feature, however, is the linear switches. Compared to traditional mechanical keyboards, the linear switches offer a smooth and consistent keystroke, reducing typing noise while maintaining that satisfying tactile feedback that mechanical keyboard users love. It makes typing more comfortable, reducing strain during long typing sessions.On the downside, it may take some time to adjust to the key layout. The keyboard is a full-sized one, which may be a bit daunting for those accustomed to compact keyboards. Some may find the lack of a wrist rest disappointing considering the keyboard’s price point.The software, although generally user-friendly, has a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize the customization options. It would be great to see some more intuitive controls and user-guidance for first-time users.Overall, the Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard is a masterful blend of aesthetics, comfort, and performance. Despite a couple of minor quibbles, it certainly raises the bar for what one should expect from a mechanical keyboard. If you’re looking for a keyboard that offers unrivaled typing experience while enhancing your workspace’s look, then it’s well worth the investment.
