YOU ALRIGHT LADS. THIS IS A BUYER'S GUIDE TO HELP MAKE YOUR PURCHASE A LITTLE EASIER. SOME REVIEWS I USED AS SOURCES FOR THIS VIDEO ARE LISTED IN THE DESCRIPTION BOSH.

[@muygalan]

This was the funniest, straight-forward, and informative keyboard review I have ever watched. 😂

[@MrAlexanderk69]

i find this very annoying..he have to leave more space on audio editing..omg

[@martijn5372]

Very good review!!

[@YesMad1337]

Haha this review is genius, thanks for the concise and fun vid mate! Buying one TODAY!

[@enricovilla6312]

I think this is simply the worst audio editing/dubbing I ever found on youtube. Bothersome and inconvenient to listen at. It demands skills to accomplish such a result. Sorry for my review, I'm just honest.

[@dbauernf]

This the best no-nonsense video on this keyboard, I have no idea why like to dislike ratio is almost 1:1

[@erolbrown]

Just stumbled across this channel. Pure gold. Loads of info and no sign of some wet-wipe sat in front of a LED-lit desk or obligatory IKEA potted plant. Keep it up.

[@ali-silvester-balarabe]

I have the older MX Keys and the backlight turning off in the dark can get annoying. But I found that the backlight stays on while charging, so I just plug the keyboard when I need it to stay on.

[@propercushty]

cheers for sharing

[@alejandroperez5368]

I read that it still turns off after a while?

[@ali-silvester-balarabe]

@@alejandroperez5368 so I tried it out. You're right. When it's charging, the backlight turns off after about 5 minutes of inactivity. That's comfortable enough for me to work. I've not even noticed it going off until you asked. But normally, it turns off in 10 seconds. In ten seconds... I barely take my hands off the keyboard and it goes off.

[@koozino]

Thanks for the review! You saved me from getting the keyboard only to find out later that the bolt receiver will not work with my existing MX 2S! Cheers!

[@propercushty]

Any time pal!

[@Johngore747]

A video where a guy reads out Amazon reviews, with a clickbait thumbnail I fell for. Without having watched your other videos I can’t say if this is the norm for you, but I imagine if you actually reviewed a product it would be good. Rather than just reading out a webpage which I did before I got here.

[@arosler8283]

I bought the black version and really liked it. It worked well on my Mac. However, at night the keys have a glare and make them hard to read and it is annoying. Yes I look at keys here and there. during the day it is great. I may tets the white one out to see if it is better, otherwise back to the apple keyboard...which I like typing on, but not as much as the MX Keys. Just my input.

[@MrSnacko]

Just got mine, and I love it except for: 1) The Fn key being on the right, when it's better on the Left. 2) The Fn, and other 'internal' system keys cannot be customized to other keys. 3) The key backlighting bleeds out from under the square keys, which I really don't like. Thinking of taking it apart and painting the white plastic under the keys. Probably not worth it though...

[@raphael9339]

Bosh! 😆 Only thing i would have liked added was the differences between the old and the new 'S' version.

[@propercushty]

i covered that topic in a youtube short lad here you go: kzbin.infoarePEQmanSI

[@stevefox2831]

I have the original MX Keys and I've used it for years, it works fine but the keys are getting squeeky. I still like it, but I was about to buy the "S" and you've swayed me away from it. Thank you.

[@mariovarkas]

buy the MX Keys with palmrest for 69 or the new MX Keys S for 99 ... what would you do?

[@Shane1822]

one more thing. Problem surface right after the warranty end :D been using logitech since 20 years back from unlimited warranty to 5 yr to 1 yr. Well can someone come up with a better version of logitech ?

The problem is that some of this is not true, or is due to a misunderstanding of the topic: 1). What exactly does using a "wireless" keyboard in "wired mode" mean as a disadvantage? Of course, you can use it after connecting via USB, but only in charging mode, but still in wireless mode. It's hard to expect a wireless keyboard to be... wired. 2). Yes, the biggest advantage of the Bold receiver is that it offers a higher level of security (AES) than a regular receiver - which is quite crucial in the case of a keyboard. It is difficult to expect that Bold will work with older devices that do not offer encryption. Moreover, if we decide on a keyboard with Bolt, it would be best to also buy a compatible mouse. Otherwise, our computer will not be fully secured and the intruder can still perform an effective attack via an unencrypted mouse connection. 3). The fact that the backlight does not work all the time makes sense in the case of a battery-powered device. Moreover, as soon as we bring our hands close to the keyboard, the backlight immediately activates, so what's the problem? A keyboard is not a table lamp... sorry! ;-) 4). I have been using it for 7 months. I never once had a problem connecting to my computer. Works perfectly.

[@oleksandrzhuravlov7327]

Thanks for a nice overview of the reviews. There are some arguments that actually changed my mind, so I won't buy it. Especially about no wired mode and highest input lag, which is critical, because I wanted to use it for casual gaming, but there are too many inconvenience for gaming. Also compatibility issues with calculator...

[@blablybla]

There is some weird shit going on with mx keys design, but one thing is bugging me the most - there is version for pc and for mac and yet, the pc version have also mac symbols... WTF?! What idiot thought that's a good design idea?

[@propercushty]

yeah it's well strange mate - well said

[@Sui778]

@@propercushty Probably the same idiot that discontinued the K740... That was the ULTIMATE typing keyboard (said this geezer). And while we're on the subject - WHY The FOOK are they not offering a wired version of this keyboard? That also doesn't make any sense.

[@rinkap1030]

@@propercushty Well, some people like to use this keyboard for more than one device, as you do with these keyboards, and some of those people use both windows and mac computers. Kinda makes sense to show where the keys are for both, innit?

[@Constantine4j]

lights on the function keys are so low dimmed that make the most f keys not visible in day light. Do you face the same problem?

[@BryanAgapito]

😂😂😂

[@Kult647]

fkn clickbait now i want to buy it even more tffff

[@djrisks]

Thanks for this review mate!

[@crzcrx6779]

keys feel kind of stiff, I don't know if I got a defective one

[@JamesTheiler-m8m]

I wouldn't say I like this keyboard, and I will tell you why. Its hard to see the keyboard due to the reflection of the keys. I thought it was me, and I had my wife try as well, and the same issue. I wanted to like this keyboard, but I hate it. The keys are too shinny that causes this problem with light,

[@alphafiddlesticks5623]

Which color did you get, the white?

[@rinkap1030]

@@alphafiddlesticks5623 but you can customise the level of brightness of the keys in the dark with the mx keys S. Yeah?

Ha, love the content mate. Let's Collab on a video soon.

[@isabellek1692]

So maybe it’s just me but who really needs a backlight? I like it for the aesthetic but when I’m actually typing I don’t look at my keyboard. I’m looking at my screen

[@aye3678]

BOSH!

[@Xartushig]

Handy and nice review, good work. 👍

[@mrpops2ko]

if you are in the market for a new keyboard, i'd suggest people ensure that whatever one they pick has QMK support because you can do so many fun mods and it has a lot of already established documentation on what you can do with it. There's even a spongebob mode modification someone made. so You CAn TyPe JuSt LIkE THis WIthOut HaVING To MANUAlLy eDIT THE lOwer oR UpPeRCase AT ALl.

Too the point mate. +1

[@SibalizedEats]

With the new S, you can keep the backlighting on

[@propercushty]

perhaps i wasn't clear enough in the video - i'm saying people who've tested this product are saying the 'always on' feature is not working properly

[@frostilver]

They say you get a few days of battery life as to 5 months with backlight off

[@Aceofdusk]

[@aytviewer2421]

I bought this keyboard, and am thoroughly disappointed with it. Reasons why: - NO print key button! WTF? --do not waste my time telling me there is an image-snip button on the right side above the numpad --why move it? Why not put those three connection buttons here instead and leave the print key button alone? Why-oh-why Logitech??? - The Function keys are all jammed together instead of being in groups of four --this really messes up touch typists as F2 is where F1 used to be and they are all off --there should be a GAP between each group of four function keys - By default, the traditional F1, F2, etc. is overridden with crappy assigned functions and you have to install their crappy keyboard software to un-override function keys back to traditional settings (i.e., when you hit F5 it sends "F5" instead invoking some weird function with a stick figure with radio waves shooting out of its head --no joke look at!) - The LOCK key is where the calculator key is normally at --yep, you go to hit calculator and BOOM you go to the lock screen instead of quickly launching the calculator --who at Logitech thought this would be a great idea to constantly prank hard-working people??? - The receiver is NOT COMPATIBLE with hundreds of other perfectly working Logitech mice --this means you have to install two dongles for a keyboard and mouse - It connects to 3 different keyboards, but hey if you switch to another computer only the keyboard is switched and NOT your mouse??? Pathetic shortsightedness by Logitech. - The calculator button is in a bad place for those used to hitting it in the upper righthand corner --Logitech has been doing this for decades and they moved it - The typing is pure crap --just as you go to push down the key it bottoms out instantly --I just cannot get used to it - NO LINUX SUPPORT! -ok, I am used to this but when you need Windows software to make the function keys work as an actual function key AND the settings do not persist during OS swaps this makes for an unusable keyboard especially with the removal of Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break keys. - No dedicated Mute and volume Up/Down keys --yep, Logitech pulls a fast one on their customers by assigning these to function keys - The ESCAPE key is not a standalone square on the upper lefthand of the keyboard --instead, it is twice normal width and invades part of the space where F1 would normally be creating havoc for touch typists - The illumination is too low and does not want to consistently come on as expected no does it always stay on while in use --sometimes it flickers, this could have been worse making periodic strobe lighting but hey, the brightness is so low you do not have to worry about that at all - There is no palm rest --I thought I could get used to this, but nope my wrists and fingers began to get fatigued because they've been using keyboards with integrated palm rests for several decades now - You CANNOT adjust the keyboard height --it is stuck at the precise angle delivered out of the box After a week of trying to get used to all of this, I gave up and plugged my Logitech K800 back in. I sooooo wish Logitech made a direct replacement for my beloved K800 keyboard when they phased it out. I have wasted several hundred dollars buying keyboards to replace the K800 and still have not found a winner. To me, the K800 is a great productivity hound. I bought three over the past decade and replaced one every three years or so once I wore down the home key nubs. Does anyone know of a comparable replacement for the K800?

[@LordCinn]

bruh. youre one of them people that just cannot be satisfied no matter what lol

[@aytviewer2421]

@@LordCinn You got it wrong. I was totally satisfied with the Logitech K800 keyboard --which Logitech mysteriously quit making. Their new keyboards are crap. They simply do not offer anything like the K800. If you think they are fantastic, more power to you --but I think you are likely young and never had an opportunity to use good keyboards over the years. I make my living on a keyboard --not playing games. They may be good for playing games, but are worthless for those of use with muscle memory for the correct placement and labeling of keys.

[@Billyb0b557]

@@aytviewer2421 Are you me? I had a k800 and loved that keyboard, the keys were so satisfying to press. I knocked a cup over last week and all the liquid went in the keyboard and buttons were sticking and when pressing keys, the complete wrong letter was showing on the screen, I was gutted! So I decided to get MX Keys S and give it a go. It's just not the same!! I keep trying to press calculator from k800 and it locks the screen as you say. And using the volume buttons which used to have their own dedicated buttons now they are on function keys and got to have f1 f2 etc disabled to use it. Completely agree with everything you've said

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΦρεντζάς]

@@Billyb0b557 Ummm, no. You don't have to disable anything to use the function keys for volume control.
