Massdrop Ctrl Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard

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.

Being a long time PC extended keyboard user and even Apple II mechanical keyboard, I was having a hard time using the chiclet-style, no number pad, no DELETE key Mac keyboard that came with my iMac. The Das Keyboard solved all those problems. It is heavy (built like a battleship) and doesn't slide around. The click and feel let me know when keystroke is done. Easy to feel the edges of the keys and know where I am on the keyboard. Extra CTRL key on right is nice and both left and right CTRL keys are in the same relative position, not getting confused with the FN key as on the Apple keyboard. Having a DEL key in normal PC location is great. The round sound volume knob works fine for me. I don't have any problem with the 6+ foot cord to connect to the iMac - glad it is not short. The 2 USB3 ports also work fine for me and are appreciated. The only downside for me is the sharp edge at my wrists and no wrist rest. That is easily remedied at the store. A less expensive, PC keyboard would also have worked functionally and you have to decide what is best for you. Having the keys (CTRL, OPTION/ALT, CMD) labelled correctly makes the transition from PC to MAC easier. For me, the weight and feel and click of the keyboard was worth the extra cost.

It gives you the nice, clean feeling of a mechanical keyboard, but it's silent!!
