LogitechK845 Mechanical Illuminated Keyboard,Mechanical Switches, Strong Adjustable Tilt Legs, Full Size, Aluminum Top Case, 104 Keys, USB Corded, Windows (TTC Blue Switches)

I have now been using this keyboard for a little over 1 week. So far so good.My previous keyboard was a HyperX Alloy Elite with blue switches so this keyboard is a bit of a downgrade. Even though this is a full-size keyboard. it takes up less space on my desk compared to my old one which is a plus. The TTC browns have been a pleasure to use although I did have to get used to them as I was coming from a Cherry MX Blue switch. The keys have a high actuation point so there is a faster responsiveness than what I had previously. The keys also feel much lighter. When I first received the keyboard, I had to double-check the packaging to make sure I didn't get send a red switch because at first it was very difficult to feel the tactile feedback. However, after typing on the keyboard for a while I can feel it just fine.Overall pros and cons:Pros:1. Compact but full-size2. No fancy bells and whistles3. Backlighting is fantastic4. Very sturdy with quality construction and materials5. Keys are lightweight with a nice feel to them. Reminds me of the Dell keyboards so many of us used back around 2000-2010 era. The design itself is reminicent.Cons:1. Wish it came with a wrist wrest - I can't be too upset given the price point but I will definitely need a wrist wrest sooner than later2. This keyboard might be better for gaming than typing (it is marketed as a gaming keyboard) but for those of you who are strictly typists and not doing any gaming, you might look for a slightly heavier brown switch or look towards to TTC Blue switch model.3. Even though these are TTC Browns there is still a small, subtle, audible click while typing which I find to be fantastic. To me personally, it's a great balance that I wasn't expecting. Just forwarning.4. The keyboard doesn't have an onboard memory. If you take the keyboard from one computer to the next, it will not remember the lighting settings. It is rather easy to change the lighting, as all you need to do is hold FN & select F12. Takes about 5 seconds.

I received this keyboard with the expectation that it was going to give a new feeling to my typing. After getting a recommendation from a friend, I am very happy with this keyboard for the feel of the keys and the overall build of it. It is great for gaming and gives some personalization for backlighting, but overall is a great keyboard for the avid typer.When first handling the keyboard when it comes out of the box, you can feel that it has some weight to it, along with a certain smooth feeling of the aluminum base. The kickstand clips in the back are secured well enough that you have to give a nice pull to place out of the keyboard to allow for an angled position.I went with the Berry Blue keys because, as an English Teacher, I type a lot for giving feedback and love hearing the click back of my keys on the keyboard. For some reason, it gives me a sense of urgency and satisfaction all at the same time. The accuracy and speed that this keyboard helps bring to my typing are amazing. There is just enough feedback/resistance on the keyboard that allows for a solid push and a lesser chance of me clicking the wrong key. There is a slight grove in each key that your fingers rest easily in when at a rest position and the backlight feature is great for adding a little flair to your desktop.The backlight of the keys can be changed with a function key on the keyboard, so you don't have to have a Logitech program on your computer to customize. You can change between different patterns of lighting and the brightness of the keyboard all from the keyboard itself.I got this keyboard for my iMac and, after plugging in the USB connector, had no issues starting up and programming to the OS. I had to identify where the buttons were to the shift keys and the computer did the rest. Just be aware that the windows button acts as the command button for the iMac OS. Mac users, you will know what this means.As stated before, I choose this keyboard for typing, not gaming. That being said, I do have a couple of games on my computer that I usually play in my free time (Minecraft, League of Legends, Destiny, etc) and this keyboard is really great for all those games. I have had no feedback issues yet and the click-to-reaction ratio has been one that I am very satisfied with. I know a lot of people look for color options, feedback ratios, and customizations of keys when looking at a keyboard for gaming and to be honest this keyboard does not offer that type of level of gaming. As for the once-in-a-while gamer, this is a great keyboard. When it comes to the loudness of the keys, your gaming buddy on discord can hear you type through your microphone...so in other words, perfect.
