Unreliable
Worked well during the warranty period, but has since deteriorated:
- illumination of the "j" key faulty
- some keys either don't take, or write twice, so correcting the text takes twice as much time

Worked well during the warranty period, but has since deteriorated:
- illumination of the "j" key faulty
- some keys either don't take, or write twice, so correcting the text takes twice as much time
Worked for 2 years, then became totally unstable, siren going off for no reason or cutting out unexpectedly. Totally unusable.
I replaced the battery with a new one on the advice of the after-sales service, but it didn't work, so I lost a further £25!
I bought this product precisely because it was possible to replace the battery...
In short, a very bad investment.
Very disappointed with Logitech. The keyboard keeps disconnecting and I have to disconnect and reconnect the USB. The backlight stays on even when the PC is switched off. These problems continue to occur despite installing the latest drivers and adjusting the power options in Windows.
I strongly advise against this.
I bought this keyboard for 2 reasons:
- to go with the very nice "InWin 904+ Silver" case next to it and both are beautiful, all in black and brushed aluminium.
- To find the mechanical touch of the past, yes I am nostalgic of the 90's :-) I am not disappointed, the comfort of typing changes everything compared to a generic membrane keyboard.
I'm not disappointed, the typing comfort changes everything compared to a generic membrane keyboard: Comfort/ergonomics: great for typing, very comfortable. I'm not disappointed, the typing comfort changes everything compared to a generic membrane keyboard. This heavy keyboard doesn't drag on the desk and there are 5 rubber pads underneath. USB plug = very good idea!
Linux compatible: no problem with key combination settings. For software settings, you just need to install the .DEB or .RPM package which is easy to find. For Mageia 8, take the Opensuse 0.4.2-lp152 version (otherwise dependencies problem). It seems that it only allows you to vary the light intensity of all the keys at the same time (no pulsation effects for example). Multimedia keys are automatically recognized by KDE.
- Attention there are 2 USB plugs to connect: 1 for the keyboard and 1 for the onboard USB port.
I'm not sure if the product has evolved in the meantime, but I can't find some of the points raised by other buyers

Reservations :
- the cable is a bit short. 1.80m means you need 2 extension leads or a USB switch (reminder: 2 sockets to plug in)
- The "cable storage system" mentioned by the manufacturer: There isn't one! It's just a slot underneath to pass the headphone wire
This keyboard apparently has nothing to do with the negative review I read about it. The characters on the keys are not painted but moulded and transparent, and are therefore bright thanks to the backlighting. The touch is very pleasant: very soft springs, and no need to press to the stop to make contact. The connections are of good quality. The only small drawback is the absence of a digital lock indicator.
We knew that gaming products were overpriced, but this is starting to look good.
This keyboard, apparently well made, didn't even last a year before one of the keys became... Yes, you read that right, one of the keys has desoldered. Not even a particularly stressed key (left arrow), proving that it is indeed a basic manufacturing quality defect. In addition, the paint on some of the keys is also starting to peel off, and again not even on the most heavily used keys.
Another keyboard, this one from Corsair, surprised me by having the paint on the keys fade after 6 months of use.
In short, all this confirms a general impression that all this range of "gaming" products are pure fraud. It's cheap hardware dressed up with an attractive design and flashing lights. Even for office use, these products are to be avoided, as they do not last more than one and a half years at most. Very strong smell of programmed obsolescence.
I was very pleased with my order: a fast and correct delivery.
I was very pleased with the quality of the product.
As usual with LDLC.
The only downside is that the delivery men put the packages in the garden. I was very pleased that it wasn't raining and that no one came by to pick it up.
Thank you very much for your help.
I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good one. I've been using it for a while now, but I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now, and I've been using it for a while now.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the keyboard as a standalone device or if it's just for the sake of the game, but it's a good idea to use it as a standalone device. I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one, but I'm sure it's a good one.
I wrote this review with this keyboard, glad I finished it...
The keyboard is very nice with an aluminium finish that looks good.
The RGB lighting is only white which is fine for me but you need to install the manufacturer's software to dim the light which is a shame.
