Budget Clicky Mechanical Keyboards

What can I say, it types, it functions as expected, it isn't too clicky like the mechanical keyboards these days. My girlfriend loves how simple and basic it is. It is just what she was looking for.

I've been using clicky mechanical keyboards with my desktop computers for years. I love the build quality, the key travel and that satisfying sound. My only issue's been the thickness because my keyboard tray isn't deep enough to accommodate a palm rest. That meant an uncomfortable wrist angle. This Logi low profile solves that easily. For my purposes, this keyboard does everything I need, want and like. And it does it beautifully. Regarding comments about a slow backlighting sensor, the keys on my unit light up as my hands approach and it seems to be on a par with Logi's MX Keys which I've also used and I did not find it objectionable. As for backlighting going off too quickly, I don't have a problem with that either. It probably helps battery life, which is outstanding. I'm using this new keyboard, via Bluetooth, with one of Apple's new iMacs with the silicon chip and the Bluetooth connection is solid. The Bluetooth settings do show the percentage of the battery charge. If you need to boot from safe mode where Bluetooth doesn't work, just pair the keyboard to the included Logi Bolt USB receiver. The only suggestion I would make to Logitech would be to consider using PBT keycaps since they are virtually immune to fingertip oils and smudges, although a microfiber cloth will work on the existing keycaps.

I love this keyboard. I haven't used a mechanical one since the 80's? 90's? Cherry Bl gives you the clicky sounds - it gives you the feeling that you've accomplished something great when you add another chapter in your great American novel! Generations will laud your work, but only you (and those who read this review) will know the secret was the DAS keyboard. It responded to your touch with tactile feedback and sound. It affirmed you as you wrote on those days when you ventured off your outline, encouraging you to create something unexpected and beautiful, that you could bring back into your story.

We didn't want a mechanical keyboard because of the clicky sound and we needed one with multimedia keys. The price was just right and it works fine so far.

There is nothing like the feel of a mechanical keyboard or the sound! Mine is clicky MX Blue, and I love it. I love the feel and the sound of it. They say you can type faster on a mechanical keyboard, and I believe that's true because I tend to make hardly any miss-keys on this keyboard. I'm a touch typist (no looking at the keys), and the tactile feel of the Das Keyboard keys means I don't miss a key. My fingers know where they are on the keyboard at all times. It's hard to explain, but it sure works!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Second time I have bought a batch of keyboards in this model. Aside from the loud/clicky keyboard models, I believe this is the best you can get in standard layout. Assuming you don't require 'compact'. I use a clicky keyboard much of the time but switch to this one for meetings because in a meeting, loud keyboards drown everything else out

Love this keyboard. I hate clicky keyboards and this one is so quiet, great touch. Very slim and never loses power. Best thing I've treated myself to in awhile.

Excellent build quality and consistent across 3 of the same that I bought. There are too many choices of mechanical keyboards even if you narrow down to ones with Cherry Blue switches. So there are certainly others that will be equally good and consistent. So my review is not meant to be a comparison by any strech, but only what I see.

I've been wanting to move towards a mechanical keyboard feel. Glad that MX is offering an option now. So far, I've really enjoyed the typing experience, though it is taking some getting used to since I've been on scissor switches for quite a while. I don't love how they switched to a new dongle system with this one so I can't use the MX master 3 mouse with the same dongle anymore - I know they did that to force another upgrade. Other complaint is that their software seems to have regressed in the new mechanical keyboards. example - the calculator quick key still works but it doesn't bring it to the front anymore. Why would that be different from their previous keyboards? weird. Overall, I'm enjoying the keyboard, though.

This basic keyboard is well worth its price. I have other mechanical keyboards that I use, but I can't say those give as much value as this simple keyboard. 100% recommended.
