I have owned many Logitech products since the later 80's. They make entry level or loss leader types of products as well as top end equipment. About 3 years ago I purchased a high end Dell with the included mouse and keyboard. Lately several of the keys do not respond well. The keyboard overall was adequate. I am a touch typist and can type between 50 - 60 wpm. These modern plastic keyboards do not have the 'feel' of a typewriter.
I want to make a point here. This new Logitech keyboard has a 'light' touch. It allows me to type quickly and with way less effort than the Dell keyboard. The action of the keys is similar to the old IBM Selectric. It is not as robust and probably will not last 30 years without any maintenance. But for the $80 cost (including the laser mouse) it is pretty good. This is the second day I have used it and I can already notice that my fingers are adapting to their assigned positions.
One of the hallmarks of a comfortable keyboard is the light action which will allow you to type for hours without any ill effects. I like this board and the mouse. It took me a while to find the magic formula to connect the Bluetooth mouse with my Windows 11 Dell XPS. Finally everything fell into place and I am not going to look back.
3/15/24 Additional Comments - I find myself actually becoming a better typist using this keyboard. It is very comfortable and this quality is something I have missed by using the keyboards they send with the computers or that corporations (read cheap) feel is all that is necessary. If you are serious (read more than two fingers) this will make you faster and more accurate which makes you more productive. There is one additional feature that contributes to comfort. That is the wrist rest that is built into the keyboard. It is 2" wide and provides support when you need it.
I am going to keep the old keyboard for a backup or to give to someone I don't like (just a joke).
RE: mouse - I had a wireless mouse for about three years when it finally died. I liked the fact that I didn't have to drag the cord around. This new mouse is small but has all the features I want. I don't miss the good old days when we had to use a mouse pad. I use AutoDesk's ACAD. This mouse has all the features I need to use the program. The cursor is accurate. The touch is light and my arthritic thumb thanks me.
Thank you Logitech. Good product. Never going back to a $19 keyboard. Lesson learned - buy the best keyboard you can afford. It is the key to using a computer comfortably.
