This keyboard is light-speed wireless. This is a wireless keyboard. And Logitech's Lightspeed technology means you get negligible latency while cleaning up some of the wires that I keep getting attacked about online. Do you know how much flack they give me about the wire mess at my desk? It's not fair! For the low, low price of just 220 or 230 US dollars or whatever I can take care of that. Reason number three, look how low profile this thing is. Like, that is a slim keyboard. It actually got a bunch of messaging bragging about the engineering of making a keyboard this thin on their website. In all seriousness though, okay, what is special about this is that it uses mechanical switches. These are using what they call their low-profile GL switches and they're apparently high-performance mech switches for gamers with half of the physical height of typical mechanical switches. And while I wasn't a huge fan of Logitech's Romer-G initiative, I didn't mind them. And they have done so much great peripheral engineering over the last, really, the last five years that I want to give this a chance. I want to give these a try. Oh boy, that's disappointing. Uses a Micro B cable for charging. Yeah, that's a bummer. So, they boast long battery life on this puppy, 40 hours with the RGB enabled, but like, oh man, micro USB's time has officially ended, as far I'm concerned, on anything that costs more than like 20 bucks. I understand that the Type-C connector is more complicated to implement and it is more expensive, but micro B is just, it's too fragile. Look at it. Ew, see? Ew. Oh, yeah, last thing, RGB. (keyboard banging)
All right. That is some pretty vibrant RGB, considering this thing is a wireless keyboard. Does it stay as vibrant? All right. That is some pretty vibrant RGB, considering this thing is a wireless keyboard. Does it stay as vibrant? I never really cared about that anyway.
We've got brightness adjustment here.
And then media keys.
Nice, got the volume wheel.
Big fan of the volume wheel, guys. The button's just not a replacement for a volume wheel.
And then, of course, a 10-keyless layout.
Now, I wasn't really sure about the low profile experience,
'cause the thing is what's funny is,
if you look at it from the side, it's low profile,
but at the bottom edge of it you still have,
if you want to rest your wrist on the table,
you still have kind of that angle to your wrist.
But what's cool is,
even though this is a low-profile design,
they've gone and they've included these feet anyway,
so you can pop it out.
And I would probably go with just the first level
of pop-out here.
Pop this puppy out. (feet clacking)
And that actually looks a little better.
One other thing I noticed on the bottom here too,
check this out. A little spot for the dongle.
This gets overlooked so often by lesser products, just like,
"Hey, yeah, I've got this wireless dongle.
"By the way, you're gonna lose it
"because we didn't make a place to store it."
Interesting.
I'm actually super happy right now.
For whatever reason,
the vast majority of gamer marketing key switches out there
are linear switches,
which I personally find spongy
and actually uncomfortable.
I do not like typing on them.
I make a ton of mistakes.
Did this thing just go to sleep?
(keys clacking)
It's awake,
but I'm not getting any input.
Having a little derp moment there!
Yeah, it wouldn't wake back up until I turned it off
and turned it back on.
That's not a great first impression.
Let's start with a typing test
'cause I'm ready to jump right into it.
I'm feeling good about this.
(rhythmic music) (keys clacking)
85 words per minute with five errors on a keyboard
that I am touching for the first time.
(whoops) That is not bad!
These have a nice, subtle, tactile bump in them,
kind of like a Brown switch.
It's a little heavy.
It's not light.
You've definitely got that strong mechanical feel.
(laughs) I actually really like this thing for typing. The thing is, even though I have been doing
a lot more gaming lately,
I also type a lot on my computer.
So it's a consideration for me no matter what.
Let's go ahead and fire up a game, though, shall we?
Currently, the only thing we loaded on this thing is CS: GO,
'cause you guys just love watching me fail
at CS: GO, don'tcha?
I'm surprised more people don't practice CS: GO with bots. Thanks, Purchase from https://amzn.to/3vA5V4A
