Mechanical Work Keyboard

Needed a full mechanical keyboard and this work. Didn't need RGB so this was perfect

Grabbed one of these for work with the blue switches and I can actually type faster on it than the keyboard that I use at home. I will only use full sized keyboards and they have to be mechanical and clicky for me so this hits the sweet spot. Much better than the dozens of other low priced mechanical keyboards I've owned and nearly as good as the custom GMMK that I use at home. Can't beat this for the price.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The old keyboard I inherited at work was almost flat on the desk (even with feet raised) and had very tight keys making it hard to type quickly and accurately. The Lenovo Preferred Pro II has a little bigger footprint than I was expecting, but the lift is higher which works much better with the desk I have and they keys are a lot smoother to type on with responsive keys more like what I wanted. I still prefer my mechanical keyboard I use at home, but the noise can bother others in a work setting and this keyboard is much closer to what I'm used to with my mechanical keyboard without the sound. This is a huge improvement over the old one that I initially was given (I believe it's an old Dell).

Completely satisfied with my selection. I’m use to work with an expensive mechanical keyboard but needed a second one for the cottage. I was looking for one that I would appreciate since I spend my working days on a keyboard. I assure you, completely happy with the Preferred Pro II keyboard and the shipping speed from Lenovo!

Purchased this keyboard to work from home and its been great. the mechanical keys aren't as nice as my Keychron or my RK but the media controls and programmable G-Keys are very useful and I save wear and tear on my expensive keebs. it pairs really well with my G305 for work duties.

I work as a writer and wanted to get a not-insanely-expensive mechanical keyboard for daily work on Mac and PC. The keyboard looks sleek and minimal, which I like, except perhaps the way the fn-media shortcuts look on the F buttons, but it still looks really nice. I'm not a fan of flashy LED lights, so I appreciate the fact this board only uses them for Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and one for the FN toggle (and only when you activate those functions). I like how the keyboard only has a logo on the front edge, out of view during normal use. The Cherry Blue key switches work great for typing and I even like them when I do some occasional gaming. Yes, blue switches make noise, however, these are not obsessively loud and I actually find the sound soothing. The keyboard comes with a pretty durable cable as well. I haven't had the keyboard for an excessive amount of time, so I cannot vouch for its durability, however, it seems like a very well built piece for the price. (I will have paid $ after a $ mail in rebate that I am waiting for.) I received my keyboard on the expected shipping day and have no complaints with my order.

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

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

Great mechanical keyboard. Love the preset lighting options.
