This is hands down one of the best keyboards I've ever used.
First of all the packaging itself, I'm no fan boy of Logitech but the aesthetic from box to product is just on point and fantastic. Very modern minimalist feeling. It's like if this keyboard were a home, it'd be on Grand Designs...
Anyways set up is dead simple.
Follow the instructions on the box and you'll be fine, just remember to use the right process for either MacOS or Windows etc.
The keys have a very, very solid feel to them. They feel leaps and bounds better to me than the action you get on a macbook pro keyboard pre 2016 or the magic keyboard version 1. Just less squish and more satisfying.
Holy smokes they're quiet too, it's like the ninja of keyboards.
The circular keys were really easy to get used to, and to be frank they look so much nicer from an aesthetic point of view in my opinion. Very typewriter-esque.
Pairing with the unifying dongle was great because I also bought a Logitech MX Master mouse, it simply required I plug both dongles in at first.
Eventually the software (for the love of god just install Options, it's amazing) recognized I had two dongles and asked if I'd like to remove one from my mix. Easy to follow steps later and I was there.
There's a fair amount of travel for such a low profile keyboard on the keys, nothing crazy but enough to really feel like I got ish done when I finish banging out an email.
Most importantly, switching between machines that I control with this is a breeze. Once you're done pairing you literally just hit the button on the keyboard for the device you'd like to control and you're done.
I game on a PC and I work on a Macbook Pro 2016, and this thing does it all.
I high reccomend installing the options software, so you can remap the FN keys and change their behavior.
Are you one of those heathens that wants the FN keys to automatically require you hold FN to do volume up and down? There's a setting for that.
Do you want to map the home button on Windows 10 to TaskView (which I love)? Go for it, in Options.
You can even turn on application specific mapping of buttons and have the mappable buttons do different things depending on what app you're focused on at the moment. I've done this with Excel and a few games.
Lastly even if you don't want to use this to control a phone or tablet, the little tray is one of the coolest things ever, because you simply just "dock" your phone or tab there. I use it with my LG G6 and it's just superb.
Over all if you're thinking about getting this keyboard stop thinking and start doing.
Even if you don't have more than one device, and don't plan to use its switching capabilities, it's just a fantastic piece of kit that's really one of a kind and works really well.
