Review Text: Feature Ready Mechanical Keyboard. Pros: -Adjustable backlight (different patterns, brightness levels) -Fn activities provide useful access to certain computer functions Cons: -Not wireless Logitech has been making keyboards for many years and I have found their keyboards to be getting better and better. This full sized, aluminum feel, Logitech mechanical keyboard is pretty easy to use; I connected it to my computer as I turned it on and saw the keyboard lit buttons come to life. My computer loads rather quickly, so by the time I had to put in my windows pin, the keyboard was ready to go. The drivers downloaded automatically. There was nothing else for me to do but to begin using it. The keys make a loud clicking sound due to it having the cherry mx red switches and I love it. I do a lot of typing with stories or reports I write, and the clicking sounds make me feel like I'm using an old typewriter. Furthermore, the keys are soft when pressed on and sensible to touch for the computer to register. Another feature I like is that the keyboard is also able to adjust in the angle you want. It's not like typical keyboards that just have 1 tilting adjustment, Logitech included two, 4 and 8 degree tilt. This one has a little more options to what degree tilt you want. Finally, it's very easy to manage computer settings through the keyboard by pressing "Fn" and then the F keys on the top row to adjust volume level, keyboard lighting (only in the color white; allows for 5 different light patterns to choose from and brightness level), and skip, play, or pause media. The only downside I noticed is that this keyboard is wired, not wireless. I understood this keyboard was corded but as more things are moving to be cordless, I think keyboards should as well. To me, it was not a problem because I have a small docking station which I use to connect all my devices to. On the other hand, the attached cable is long enough for most if not all desk applications to connect it to a deskside laptop or a desktop. Overall I enjoy the typewriter feel and clicking sound of the keys. It having an adjustable backlight is a great feature that adds to the overall appeal as well. It is a definitely a top option for those considering a corded keyboard loaded with features or any keyboard for that matter.
