    Very nicely reviewed. You really pulled out the key details (shortcomings and merits) of the keyboard and mouse that no other tech reviewer has done so far. You're an underdog and a class apart from the usual stable of tech. reviewers.

    Good timing and thorough review. I’m in the market for a new keyboard, and was leaning toward the MX Keys keyboard. I miss the mechanical feel, and this might do the trick.

    Nice timing on this video, Art. Finally got my new Mac Studio (Ultra) and I have been busy setting it up and converting from my 2015 iMac. Despite a few quirks in the setup (particularly with my older Drobo DAS), I have it humming now. Ironically, last week I did add this Logi full-size mechanical keyboard (the tactile quiet version too) and am really loving it..been a long time since I’ve had a mechanical keyboard. Because I have two Apple magic mice, I haven’t (at least yet) added a MX master mouse. Having gone this route and forsaken the Touch ID, one thing I have noticed, and maybe I can solve it with some customization, is that I seem to have to wait a couple of seconds for the keyboard to “wake up” before typing in the password for the Studio. By the way, having added a Benq SW321C to my SW271, the screen setup simply feels awesome.

    • @ArtIsRight
      @ArtIsRight  Рік тому +2

      Yes Touch ID is lacking but not much is being done about that. If only apple release a separate Touch ID only login puck. About the delay, I notice that as well, not sure what can be done there. I think it might be more OS related than anything. I might have to try it with Apple KB and see how it behaves. And SW321C is awesome, yes I totally agree! Cheers

    Agree on the Full Keyboard. I use the number pad too often for rating, data entry and shortcuts. And a small mechanical keyboard has so much volume that it doesn't seem smaller. As much as I used to enjoy mechanical keyboards I just wasn't into the options I tried and switching between laptop and desktop I had to make a somewhat frustrating decision and get the Apple full Touch ID keyboard.

    i have installed options+, window 10, after I wake up my window 10 by pressing ctrl+alt+del and input password to unlock the screen, my MX Mechanical Full size keyboard will non-stop input "del" instruction. Do you have the same problem? If i assign "volumn up" function to the "Del" key, in the same situation, my keyboard will non-stop input "voulme up" instruction.

    • @ArtIsRight

      Hmm, that could be a hardware thing or relating to the dongle. I have not experienced this. I would contact their support and see what they can do.

    do you find there is a difference between this keyboard and the Mac version? I wish the Mac version came in full size, but it doesn't (at least not yet). I would definitely want the full size. Is the charging cable USB-C on both ends or do you need to use an adapter with your Mac?

    • @ArtIsRight
      @ArtIsRight  Рік тому +1

      ua-cam.com/video/9YQWKQTMT4g/v-deo.html The differences are Color, USB C to USB C for charing, no dongle and some key caps are Mac specific. Otherwise they are identical.

    I really prefer the unified dongle, it fails far less than Bluetooth. I wonder if I should buy few keyboards with the unified dongle before they disappear.

    • @ArtIsRight
      @ArtIsRight  Рік тому +1

      You can do that, my feeling is that Logitech won't just discontinue the unifying dongle immediately, they would slowly discontinue it. They might keep it for the entry level product but then you are stuck with getting the entry level product only. So something to think about there. I like the Bolt, you might want to give that a try. :D

    One thing I will never understand is why modern keyboards get rid of the caps light. It is soooooo useful that I dońt know why it is not implemented. That´s why I prefer Apple keyboards, Mathias or others which offer this detail

    I never use a mouse but a Wacom table with Logi MX keyboard, the only downside is the ID touch is not on the keyboard with my Macbook M1. I feel that trying to draw or paint with a mouse is like holding a soap bar, so you can understand why I prefer a Wacom pen as an artist.
