Logitech Backlit Keyboard Review
The Logitech backlit keyboard offers an easy solution to those late nights when you need to stay up working, but do not want to use a separate light so you can see. Each key’s letter or number is backlit so you can easily find the right words to type, even in the dark. When combined with the PerfectStroke key system, which reduces the chances of your fingers slipping, this keyboard makes it easy to type any time of day or night.
Features
The character on each key is lit up, as is the border of each button, so it should be easy to find and press the right letters and numbers while typing. The keyboard also comes with a soft palm rest so you can type comfortably while enjoying the full yet uncluttered layout. In addition, you can manage music and other media on your computer easily through the Logitech backlit keyboard since there are volume controls above the letters. This product comes with a three-year limited warranty.
Pros and Cons
Many users enjoy the fact that the Logitech backlit keyboard is thin and light, as it can easily fit on most desks without taking up much room. Another advantage is that it is comfortable to use due to the palm rest and intuitive, simple layout. It is easy to install, and the keys provide three different levels of lighting.
On the other hand, while some customers find that the palm rest is a great alternative to the often squishy palm rests on many keyboards, others find it to be too small. This may result in some discomfort when typing for a long period of time. In addition, keys F1 to F12 are not illuminated, so they may be hard to see in the dark. Plus, the Logitech backlit keyboard is corded, so it will not appeal to those who prefer the often sleek look of a cordless keyboard.
One complaint that only few people will likely even notice is that some combinations of keys are blocked, so if you are a very fast typist, you may find that the last letters of certain words disappear. This is because the keyboard does not allow three or more keys to be pressed at the same time. So if you type particularly fast, you might consider trying out the keyboard at the store first, or at least plan on keeping the receipt in case you need to return the product.
However, the majority of customers tend to be happy with this purchase. If you’re typing in poorly lit (or dark) rooms, this keyboard is definitely worth checking out. Especially if you use a desktop, this is a great alternative to laptops with backlit keyboards.
