(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This is a fantastic keyboard. I did question paying nearly £90 for it but it is well worth the price. It has a good weight to it and build quality is great. I am sure it will last a good number of years. I decided to purchase this keyboard so I could set up a workstation at home as well as being able to use it in the work office because I will be hybrid working and I wanted a good keyboard to use at home and at work.It's taken a couple of days to get used to the keys but it's a joy to type on and it's virtually silent, even quieter with the keyboard cover I purchased to help protect the keys from crumbs and dust.Great to be able to program some functions such morning start up for opening all the apps and programs I use for work at the touch of a button but you do have to give up whatever the function key was originally assigned to do in order to do this. I do find a number of the function keys to already have some useful quick access functions already built in, so I am limited with the number of keys I am willing to give up and program. It would have been good if there were some completely user programmable keys not already assigned to a function.The battery is lasting as expected when I have the backlight on so I would expect to have to give it a charge every 2-3 weeks going forward. I do use the backlight on middle brightness most of the time.It's great to have the ability to have it linked to my work PC and my personal Mac at the touch of a button and there is still a spare key to assign to another device such as my iPad or phone. The keyboard is going to get a lot more use as a result of this function so in my view helps justify the high price paid.The only thing I don't like is the lack of riser legs which I would have thought would have been incorporated in a keyboard of this price. I do find the fixed rise of the keyboard to be minimal and could do with it being more of an angle. I have purchased some extra height risers that clip on which should make the keyboard the perfect height.Also purchased is a carrying case to keep the keyboard in pristine condition when putting it in my backpack for work.Overall this is just a fantastic keyboard and you won't be disappointed if you take the plunge and purchase one.

I purchased this as my current setup from home isn’t ideal. Only space for a small desk. I was getting pain in my forearm and elbow.It turned out to be the mechanical keyboard combined with a lack of space for a wrist rest and the flexing that was causing on my wrists as a result. I had tried a flatter Bluetooth keyboard but the key bottom out was too hard and that was only adding to the problem.So I got this. Firstly, forearm issues solved.Secondly, this keyboard is an absolute joy to use.It’s really well made, construction feels very sturdy which was a pleasant surprise considering the thin profile. It feels as sturdy as the Corsair mechanical I was using before.The keys have a nice amount of travel, more than my MacBook keyboard. They also have a soft bottom out removing dulling the impact for heavier typists.Back lighting is excellent to. I have it set to light as I touch the keyboard. The sensor feature is appealing to the gadget geek in me. It literally lights up as soon as you touch the metal facia anywhere.Better life is also excellent. Lighting time out is set to the minimum for me which is fine.The keyboard software is also excellent. Easy to install, use and understand. This give some customisation to some of the shortcut buttons. I personally only changed the screen snip button to initiate screen snip and immediately copy to the clip board for pasting which saves having to click the screen snip pop up on Mac OS and pick what to do. 99% in the time I just need to snip and paste.Overall, this keyboard isn’t cheap but as a device I use all day for work, I think it’s totally worth the money.It definitely gets my recommendation.

I purchased the MX Keys s for use with work. I currently have a remote position where I type all day every day and so it makes sense for someone like me to invest in the tools most used. I was likely one of the first people to purchase this as it had only just released a day prior to purchase without knowing of it's release date, so that was a nice surprise.Build Quality - The overall quality of the keyboard is really good having a hefty and sturdy feel. There are more premium feeling keyboard's out there but for how thin it is and it's good choice of plastic construction it has been designed well for it's intended users, putting functionality and typing experience over material and useless features.Battery Life - So far I've never run out of battery from use. I've had it for over a month and it's only been charged once. This is however with strict backlight restrictions as this is not my primary keyboard for my personal computer and I do not work at night so for those using it 24/7 as a main everyday keyboard you'll find your battery may drain quicker with constant use.Price - I'd say the price of the keyboard although steep for many can be justified for users like myself after something that will be used day to day and is comfortable to use for long periods of time.Usability - The keyboard is an absolute joy to type on for day to day work use and it's clear to see who this is aimed toward, i.e. Everyday all day typers, administrators, coders and designers. The full size keyboard has a wide variety of function buttons to make using the system convinient. It has the common lot of play, pause, skip, brightness and so on however the addition of multi device connection, emoji, mute and calulation are welcome additions. The keys themselves have a firm clacky tone with dimples for accurate and comfortable typing.Note that there are two varients of the keyboard, this one with the numpad and additional keys on the far right and the mini which maintains the same layout without these. Some may find the mini more appealing if they have no use for the extra keys and would prefer extra room for their mouse.Best suited for - The keyboard is hands down perfect for those with a keyboard focused workspace and handle numericals often. Although it can be used for gaming and wouldn't actually be that bad you may as well invest this type of money in a proper mechanical board if gaming is your thing as you'll find they'll withstand punishment better and the keytravel is more satisfying/comfortable.

Best keyboard ever

But two

I spent 20 years using Logitech S520 because of its sleekness and functionality. The MX Kets S is the upgrade I have been waiting for. Low keys Minimal space. Silent. Programmable. Backlit. Just perfect.Add the Mouse which glides like a feather and has completely silent clicks and programmable for separate applications and this is a winner.In fact I bought two - one for the office and one for home.

NO es un teclado del Reino Unido - ¡NO hay clave £ GBP!

T.H.L. · 13 March 2024

Puede obtener una tecla £ mediante mayúsculas y hash, pero no está en el teclado. Estoy tratando de descubrir cómo obtener una clave hash y @ encima del 2 son en realidad las comillas dobles encima de la coma a la derecha. Es un teclado hermoso pero es un dolor de cabeza. Aún no he intentado iniciar en Modo seguro: las últimas claves MX no funcionaron.
