Logitech Keyboard: geni.us/EzH8ElY Written Review: spotlr.com/reviews/logitech-k845-mechanical-keyboard

[@veilmontTV]

just bought the cherry mx red version of this. the keyboad is gorgeous. i've owned a couple logitech mouses in the past and i've been in love the g305 i've been using the last year. logitech is my go to for bang for buck products

[@ericv738]

Love your positivity

[@winstonsmith478]

The lack of any need for (often buggy) lighting software is a PLUS and any lighting other than constant on is dumb anyway IMO. I wish it came with red lighting, though. Another advantage: the lack of troughs under the keys makes cleaning with an air can more effective.

[@TurboLoveTrain]

That's a major selling point. Backlit keycaps are extremely helpful and non gamers only need a solid backlight color or color-zone map.

[@joeharney135]

To control the light brightness and turn them OFF and ON - Hold FN key plus F1 to F2 to change the lights. No instructions in box 😞 . One negative , You wont be able to see the keys if the lights are off. This happens on most lighted keyboards if it is all black. All in All i like the keyboard. You can't go wrong with this Logitech Keyboard for under 60 bucks. Plus it does NOT feel cheap. well made AND has weight to it. Thanks for the video I rate this 4.6 out of 5 - took off 0.4 points for no instruction in the box on how to work the lights. I had to come here on how to control the lights. UPDATE: I found the instructions on controlling the lights. It is on back of the inner brown box. Turn the box over. 5 out of 5

Looks like I need the brown switches. I'm trying to find a quiet keyboard. Edit: Okay... This is the loudest keyboard I've EVER OWNED! But to be fair, It's an Aukey Keyboard and not a Logitech one. I thought all brown switch keyboards were supposed to be quiet... 🙁

[@UnatMar]

Just bought it to mod and put new lubed switches in, perfect full size board for modding

[@joshuagleason1990]

1:36 "it also connects via USB-C to your computer". Can you confirm this? I can find no indication that this keyboard comes in a USB-C version. Looking at other unboxing videos, it appears to use the normal USB connector (i.e. USB-A).

[@KAYY_M3KO]

I got this keyboard...and I love it!

[@Val-ye6nv]

You recommend it?

[@KAYY_M3KO]

@@Val-ye6nv Yes, it’s a good starter mechanical keyboard

​@@KAYY_M3KO What do yoy mean with "starter"?

[@johnny2598]

Is it still working ?

[@JonesCrimson]

The off function for a lot of Logitech backlighting is a big plus for me, fuck those wasted LEDs.

[@chris_giustizia]

Great review. I'm not sure why Logitech doesn't build in a reprogrammable function for SL (Scroll Lock) and PB (Pause/Break) keys, which most people would never use. Also, they might have decoded a few more keys on the back of the box, namely: PS (Print Screen), HM (Home), PU (Page Up), and PD (Page Down). I wouldn't use an add-on application to reprogram these keys even if it did work, due to the added security risk. Very fine review!

[@herrwarmduscher5204]

I have the Cherry Red and TTC Red and the TTC is quieter and easier to press even though they technically have the same 45g actuation force. Keep that in mind if you're considering which one to get. I personally like the TTC.

[@questioneverything9350]

2:45 Here is the typing test. You are welcome.

[@Rickydepapel]

Estaba buscando un teclado así, quizás no tenga los colores personalizables, pero se ve perfecto para un setup cómodo, sin tantas luces innecesarias

[@Nocturnal11Guy]

I have this keyboard and I love it!

[@nikmuhdhafizharun4869]

Logitech should make TKL and wireless version of this.

[@Coldsteak]

had one of these at work, as soon as I used it once, i bought one for home lol

[@TurboLoveTrain]

3 year old vid but still relevant Thanks m8 I just ordered this for my parents, who are 80, because of the back lit legends and lighter key pressure required for actuation. Both of my parents have wrist and hand issues and both hunt and peck type (and wear glasses) so the back lit keys are Ideal. The only thing I wish I could find an answer for (because my parents hasn't arrived yet) is: Does the backlighting remember it's previous setting when you power cycle the computer or do you have to turn it on every time? I'm not opposed to hardwiring the lights on but I'd prefer to not have to.

[@shivamgagad5674]

I'm gonna get the blue switches to piss off my neighbors

[@MTravisVolker]

Nice review. Thank you.

[@blast7105]

Nice video and nice keyboard. What do you think of my typing on TypeRacer?

[@glennXP3]

Considering this keyboard, is it good for gaming?

[@glennXP3]

@@kova_tech I took a shot and bought it and I could confirm that it’s a great keyboard for gaming, based on using a membrane keyboard previously. The K845 feels way better then my membrane keyboard.

[@omfgitsaxel]

@@glennXP3 hey, just as a follow up since im considering it. Hows it working? no problem with keys? Specially the ones used for gaming (wasdqerr / 12345)

Where's the link to the Razer consumer-grade keyboard you mentioned the in video?

[@theautomationchannel6920]

so for the best typing experience...I have several logitech gaming and roccat 121 amo...still i am not happy..Do you thing the MX keys will make me happy...

[@xitup1]

you mentioned that this thing connects via USB-C. I just picked this up yesterday and it isn't USB-C, it is just a standard USB type A connector. Is there some newer version that has a USB C connector?

[@tonyutter]

He misspoke. I have this keyboard and it only connects over Type-A.

[@juancampoverde3980]

What is the razer keyboard at the end ?

[@jms-gy3cf]

Love ur vids. Can u maybe review a 60% white keyboard for under 60$ if u can

[@bastiiiii]

mz60 or sk61

[@royaldog7867]

I really recommend the km360 as it fits all of your listed qualifications and it's cherryx red All for $50 (It's from g.skill)

[@Baramburum123456]

it is really hard to clean it

[@critiqalerror]

They cheaped out on the keycaps and used generic abs ones with shit fonts mostly found on cheap mechanical keyboards.

[@ElJuicetin]

So it connects via usb-c or the standard usb thingy?

[@danmar007]

This is the same board as the G413.

[@sothynorith1824]

does it good for typing letter ??? any recommend?

[@johndizon735]

Im waiting on my blue ttc variant... do they all have back lighting? and do the keys feel lowkey mushy? Thanks sir Philip.

[@Millerman89]

Also waiting on my keyboard! so excited its my first mechanical

[@johndizon735]

@@Millerman89 had mine for around 2 months now!! The feel and sound is amazing. However, two letters in the keyboard G and H have damaged back lights now... its not as bright as the rest.

[@tucsondavehayes]

Many of the keys have initials. I have figured most out but what is PB and HM?

Pause break & home

[@krysgaddes1599]

When is it coming to Australia?

[@themightyferimm]

you can order it online lol

[@krysgaddes1599]

Not from Logitech australia

[@tappei_]

it looks like mainstream version of G413/G512/G513.

[@minkymott]

How do you adjust the volume of the speakers with this keyboard?

Is this hot swappable switches

No it is not hot swappable

[@victoriale2541]

Does anybody know how to take out the spacebar stabilizer? Mine is v rattlt

[@AJD...]

The keytop is way too convex for me. It's incredibly intrusive. Not to mention the gap between the keys is so large. It's definitely not standard in that regard.

[@isaacrosenberger3569]

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE COLORS ON THIS KEYBOARD

You can’t

[@wieniawski_]

are the switches hotswappable

[@jossu8016]

Yessir but don't get the keyboard get the reddragon k552

[@justingolden21]

got the cherry red which is supposedly silent, loudest keyboard i've heard in my life comparing all mechanical keyboards i've used and heard too

[@jugalator]

"Cherry MX Red" is not built to be silent but light and with linear actuation. "Cherry MX Silent Red" is like that but relatively silent too, but a bit mushier. Two different switches. And this keyboard is not sold with the Cherry MX Silent Red switch.

[@MILKWynn]

Add o rings to dampen the noise. Else u are choosing the wrong type of switches for silence. Reds are not for silence. Linear hits the bottom and they are loud. It depends on how hard you type too. Linear has no resistance and they go all the way down

[@Twten]

keys start dying after 6-12 months of use

[@ericv738]

You have this keyboard and you're saying some of it's keys stopped working for you after 6 months?

[@Twten]

@@ericv738 yes, though they sometimes start working again. it's functioning generally fine now, but a few weeks ago the space bar stopped working completely. a week ago it just started being normal again. not sure if i'm the only one who's had this problem with this keyboard.

[@bastiiiii]

sk61 or mz60?

[@adriafro7321]

I'm not a fan of 60% keyboards but they are pretty similar. I would say or go to the cheapest or watch the videos of them from philip :)

[@bastiiiii]

@@adriafro7321 they cost exactly the same if you had to choose which one?

[@ARR0W]

This keyboard with brown switches is actually ass, I absolutely hate it.

[@johnny2598]

Why ?

[@RSV4JeffA]

It's not GOING TO BE a full-size keyboard. It IS a full-size keyboard. The keys ARE made of plastic. It IS gray with a matte finish. There ARE rubber legs on the corners. I really don't understand why "it's going to be" is used so often when referring to something that already IS something. When I hear someone using this term in the manner you're using it, I think "when?". You're not talking about caterpillars becoming butterflies or tadpoles becoming frogs.

[@tobie9205]

ok

[@wavefenomena]

unecessarily rude

[@Dalfrid1]

i’m going to be happy that you’re mad over the littlest things lol

[@herrskymarshall]

Dude's gonna be mad

[@emerald767]

that's because he's talking to the viewer as if they're going to buy and receive it. in response to your "when" question, it's referring to the time frame in which the keyboard does get received. ex: when you receive it, it's going to be a full-sized keyboard
