Low profile keyboard with non-standard keycaps.
on October 25, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
To begin, I should say that I am a Mac user. As a result, there are not many options for mechanical keyboards that work with a Mac, especially RGB keyboards that require Mac-compatible software to control the lighting. I am also a touch typist that uses the keyboard predominantly for work (not gaming). I really wanted the RGB, however, to add some "spark" to my workstation.
To begin, the typing experience on this keyboard is pretty good. I like the clicky keys, although they are a little "soft" for me. I kind of reminds me of typing on a laptop keyboard (although not quite as these keys do have more travel than a laptop keyboard). I like the click, but the key switches are not as robust as Cherry MX keys, in my opinion. The keys are not as "beefy" as I like. Still, they are not bad and the typing experience is still a lot better than membrane or "chicklet" keyboards.
Unfortunately, because these are low profile keys of Logitech's own design, they are not compatible with Cherry MX keycaps (which are easy to find). I have not been able to find any keycaps that can be used as replacements for this keyboard. Why is that an issue? Two-fold... As I mentioned, I am a Mac user and would really like to have Mac-centric keys on my keyboard. That includes the top function row as well as the bottom command, option, and other OS-specific keys. These keycaps are easy to take off and switch, which is what I did with the Windows OS key and the Alt keys. Unfortunately, though, the keyboard does not have a feature to twitch the functionality of those keys so that it can follow a more traditional Mac layout. (I had to accomplish that through third party software. Karabiner-Elements works very well for this.) The second issue is, for whatever reason, Logitech only makes the primary character transparent on the keycaps. This means that the special symbols (like !, @, #, $, %, etc.) cannot be seen in the dark with the backlighting. That is the same for the special characters on the right side of the keyboard as well. Luckily, I am a touch typist, so it is not a fatal flaw, but not being able to see ?, ", +, (, ), etc. in the dark seems inexcusable to me.
The G Hub software works okay with the Mac. As mentioned previously, it was a little frustrating that keys could not be reassigned (thus allowing me to have a fully Mac-compatible layout without using a third-party software solution). There are several options for color animation with the keyboard. I found out that the keyboard has onboard memory and, when that onboard memory is used, the G Hub software control is disabled (and vice versa). I am still a newbie with this keyboard, though, so time will tell if this is a big deal for me or not. The G1 through G5 keys are nice for storing macros or different functions, but good luck remembering what they all are once you program them. (The M1 through M3 buttons, when used, actually provides up to 15 programmable combinations for the G1 through G5 buttons.)
So, in brief, I would have to say it is a great low-profile keyboard. I was looking at a Corsair keyboard, but given the layout of their bottom OS command row, I would not have been able to switch the OS key with the Alt key like I did on the Logitech keyboard to give myself a Mac-like experience. If that was possible on the Corsair, I probably would have purchased that model instead. (The Corsair K100 would have worked, but I did not like the lack of switch options on that keyboard. I want something that is good for typing; gaming on this machine is not my priority.)

Plenty of storage at a very reasonable price. (It is possible to find 4TB hard drives for less money online, but if you want to go into a store and pick one up without having to wait for shipping, there are not many options available.)

Outstanding option for wireless workouts!
on October 25, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second pair of Powerbeats Pro (purchased as a gift for my son). He plays a lot of basketball and has a lot of workouts related to it. The Powerbeats Pro stay in the ears, work seamlessly with his iPhone and Apple Watch, are simple to charge, and have volume controls built in. The only thing they are missing is active noise cancellation, but that is not critical as it can be helpful to be able to hear ambient noise in the surrounding environment. The only challenge I have noticed is that sometimes they do not seat perfectly in the charing case (or become jarred while in the case) and one of the headphones may not charge as a result.

Tracks well & the lighting effects are impressive
on October 11, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to try this mouse for two reasons. The first was that my original cordless mouse would constantly experience tracking problems (I suspect it may be because the mouse was about 6 to 7 feet away from the bluetooth receiver?) The second was because I have a Corsair RGB keyboard and I wanted something that matched. I debated whether I wanted to go with a wireless RGB mouse for fear that I would be charging the unit all the time. That has not been the case. Since my purchase, I charged it once with the USB-C that I have on my desk for charging my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, which was very convenient. The RGB effects turn off after a period of time to conserve the battery. The good news is that the tracking has been outstanding. This mouse is supposed to charge via Qi wireless charging. I have not tried that yet. Waiting for Corsair to come out with a Qi wireless charging pad that also includes RGB lighting. (It's odd, but Corsair does not provide you with an option for both right now. Either Qi wireless charging OR RGB lights. I know there are third-party options out there, but I haven't tried any of them yet.)
So, the short story is that this mouse works very well, I love the customizability of the lighting through Corsair's software (which is the same software I use for my keyboard), and the battery life seems to be pretty good! Very happy with the purchase.

Flying shooter in the Star Wars universe!
on October 11, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I still remember fondly the days of playing X-Wing and Tie Fighter vs. X-Wing on my PC. This takes me back to those simpler days a bit, albeit with much better graphics, better sound, and an updated experience. Unfortunately, a game pad is no substitute for an old fashioned flight joystick, however. I still cannot decide which control layout makes the most sense.
One thing that I found hurts the experience is the story itself. I'm not sure what it is, but I have not found the story to be engaging or compelling. The gameplay is repetitive. Watch a mission briefing, go fly around and blow stuff up, repeat. The game gives you the opportunity to customize your ships to a certain extent, but I have yet to figure out what the difference is between many of the options. Unfortunately, as a result, I have not been playing the game much because I have not found it to be compelling. I remember the old Tie Fighter vs. X-Wing game and flying for Darth Vader. That was cool. This, on the other hand, is repetitive.
It's a fun game, but the story is not the best, in my opinion. Thus the four stars. If you like flying games, the Star Wars universe, and blowing stuff up, the game does deliver on those.

Subscription for features?
on August 21, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
My experience with this product is mixed. The coverage provided is outstanding and seamless. It is also fast. I enjoy the iOS application as well, which makes it easy to monitor the network and make changes or updates. It also integrates with Apple HomeKit.
The thing that really annoys me is that there are some features built into the system that requires a monthly subscription to access. If you want features such as "advanced security" (which sounds like a firewall that "protect[s] all the devices on your network from potential viruses, malware, phishing attacks, and more"), content filters, ad blocking, and safe searches, you have to pay a monthly subscription fee ($3 per month). A more robust plan that includes additional features is $10 a month. I just paid $500 for this system and having to pay a subscription for items that I have received for free with other routers that cost less money is somewhat annoying. If not for this subscription model, I would probably have given the system five stars. As it is, if I had known this on the front end, I probably would have purchased a different system from a competitor.

Magic Keyboard is an amazing companion for iPad Air 11-inch. It features an incredible typing experience, a trackpad that expands how you can work with iPadOS, a USB~C connector for pass-through charging, and front and back protection. Magic Keyboard has a floating cantilever design, allowing you to attach iPad Air magnetically and to smoothly adjust it to the perfect viewing angle for you.

Expensive but Great Quality
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Magic Keyboard is an expensive addition to an already expensive iPad Pro. I tend to think that you get what you pay for with this item, however. The build quality is very solid. The keyboard is comfortable for typing (and its backlit). The touchpad takes the iPad experience to another level (and is something that Apple should have thought about including support for in the iPad years ago). The biggest complaint I have is that this keyboard is definitely designed to accommodate the iPad as though it were part of a laptop. There is no effective way to lay the iPad down and have it propped up at a subtle angle using this keyboard (which is something my daughter does all the time when drawing on the iPad). Rather, we have to disconnect the iPad from the keyboard and then prop it up manually with something else. There are other less expensive options available, but not many. Until others jump on board with a competing design, the Magic Keyboard is really nice, albeit for a premium price.

Very Powerful and Good Price for the Features
on July 10, 2020
Posted by: DJeffy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This PC is very powerful and a good price for the features. I thought about building my own gaming PC, but could not throw everything together for the same price point as this unit. With that being said, the proprietary software to overclock the unit and change the lights proved to be buggy and it took several calls to technical support to troubleshoot (and fix) the issues, which was not the out-of-box experience I was hoping for. Still, the computer runs all the games I throw at it without any issues, so I'm satisfied.

Is this keyboard able to be raised/angled? Or does it only lay flat?

Do they make a version of this keyboard where the special keys !@#$%^&*() and so forth are also backlit?
I do not believe so. (Looking at other reviews of this keyboard on other sites, it seems like this is a common complaint, and one that I share.) I did email Logitech to see if they sell other keycaps... I am waiting to hear back. One of the issues is that these keycaps are not Cherry MX compatible. As a result, I have not been able to find any other alternatives either. (I would be more than happy to purchase a different keycap set, but I have not been able to find any that work with these Logitech-centric switches.)
