    At stock is the home and page and up and down button, but it can all be switched with the Logitech app.

    But as an overall, it's still relatively compact.

    It's got a really cool retro look to it. Looks like something from the '9s.

    Just got mine from China, only had it for a day so far but really like the design and typing experience. Think it will be on my desk for a while!

    The stock marble switches are quite good. Not too loud, not too silent, lighter side actuation, and very smooth.

    I love the Logi Options Plus software and you can use this to change what almost any of the function buttons do on the top as well as some of these special action buttons on the side of it

  • Layout & Comfort0 pts

    So, if you prefer a very small keyboard, this isn't going to be the option for you.

  • Design, Lighting & Controls+5 pts

    It's got a really cool look with the clear top on it.

    the hot swappable design means you can easily swap out switches without soldering.

  • Connectivity & Battery+5 pts

    Battery life is impressive, too. Logitech promises up to a full year of wireless use if you keep the backlighting off.

    Battery life is indeed very short with the backlight. Minorly inconvenient, imo.

    I don't love the non full-size layout. Lack of a full-size zero key does bother me a little bit, as well as the delete key being all the way up here.

    it is a aesthetically pleasing layout having it this way.

    It's um it's got this like gray color scheme, graphite, black, lots of gray. It's got just translucent cover where the LEDs can light up through the uh keyboard.

    This top plastic is very glossy and smooth. Plus, it lets you see the wavy designs of that uni cushion gasket underneath.
