    I don’t know what makes people think taller keyboards are more ergonomic. You want your keyboard to be as flat as possible so that your wrists are not bent upwards while typing.

    The MX Keys is the best keyboard I have ever used. I love the touch and feel. The design and construction is a real breath of fresh air compared to the mass of other keyboards on the market. I do wish, however, that there was a better guide that includes explanations of what the symbols on the function keys mean, and how to perform some of the basic functions of a PC Keyboard. E.g., How does one print screen? After a bit of Google searching I found that answer. It would have been great, though, to have a downloadable pdf with a cheat sheet and graphic of the keys.

    That board is nice and looks so refined, But I'll stick to mechanical keyboards as I prefer the tactile bump on my boards. I would have to say that if I didn't use a custom mech then I would use the same keyboard as this one in the video.

  • @MasteringGravity

    Two things to note:
    I use this keyboard everyday, using the backlight only when it’s evening or night. So far this means I can go about a month before it hits 10%.
    Secondly it does actually automatically turn the backlight off when it senses a ‘bright environment’, but in my testing it does need quite a bit of direct light to do so.
    Overall I do love this keyboard!

    • @drnagajima

      I plug in the USB permanently and the backlight stays on for 10 to 30 min straight. Thats the way I want it.

    I have used the MX Keys keyboard for about a year. I have the Mac/Win version. I frequently switch back and forth between my 16" M1 mbp and a my windows laptop. As my monitor does not have PBP, I use the selector keys. It works flawlessly. I find the typing to be much better on this keyboard than my MBP. A much better key feel. Thanks for your explanation of the power draw while keeping the backlight on all the time. I was wondering why I never seemed to get the projected battery life. Of course now with the BenQ Halo light that I just purchased (due to your review :-) I can turn the keyboard light down or off. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Also yes. This is far and away the best keyboard I have ever used. It makes my 16" MBP M1 keyboard feel cheap. :-) Now I will go through all your other reviews and see what I need to buy next! :-)

  • @JbrockPony
    @JbrockPony 3 года назад +1

    I referenced this video a couple of days ago to purchase this locally. This review definitely helped influence my decision for it. I had purchased the mac version and finding myself pretty mixed on it. I love everything on the feel of this keyboard. The problems lie in the function key shortcuts. They work whenever they want to. The main ones I like to use are mission control & launchpad functions.
    I REALLY want to like this keyboard since it's really close to being comfortable and functional. 😭
    Hopefully, i can try out the standard version and see if that makes a big differenced in avoiding bugs.

    It is not an ergonomic design if the rear part is higher than the front. Ergonomic keyboards are built the other way around, so that the front part is higher, so that the wrists can have the most relaxed, natural posture possible and don't have to be permanently bent upwards.
    The greater the angle at the rear, the faster the fatigue. Anyone can easily try out whether the hands naturally bend upward without effort or in the opposite direction.

    • @pynkfreud
      @pynkfreud 3 года назад

      I was about to say the same thing. Since it's flat, the Apple Magic keyboard is actually more ergonomic. The Kinesis Avantage2 that I'm using right now lets your fingers go below your wrists into concave wells spaced for the length of your fingers. In terms of ergonomics, it's the best I've found. It's deeper than the Magic Keyboard or the MX, but about the same width.

      You're right, as chatnoir says above. Ergonomic keyboards have your wrists higher than your fingers; otherwise, you stress your wrists by pulling them back toward your arm. Just pick up your arms and see what your wrists do--they hang down so that your fingers are below your wrists. I am using the (expensive) Kinesis Advantage2 right now, and it's the most ergonomic keyboard I've found.

      Make sure the unifying receiver is rather close to you. I had the same problem but then it went away when I wired a USB extension cable to host the unifying receiver about 1 ft away... and the lag went away haha. Sounds ridiculous but it worked for me. Connectivity interference.

    This keyboard was almost perfect for me. The typing experience of it was uncontested, absolutely amazing. But it has one major drawback for me forcing me to sell it. This is a full size 108keys keyboard and I can’t get used to any full size keyboard. If I put the a full-size keyboard right in the middle of the desk, that would means I need to lean my body a bit to the left to type, uncomfortable . If I pretend it’s a 87 keys keyboard that I used too and point the middle of the 87 keys area to the middle of the desk. That means the the right part of this keyboard would occupy the area where I usually move my mouse, forcing me to extend my arm to the right to use my mouse. Also uncomfortable. Despite I love absolutely everything else about it, this is one thing I can’t stand and it outweighs everything else

    @Created Tech. Thank you for your excellent review. May I ask if the Smart Illumination should work when the keyboard is charging? Mine, which I purchased today, does not and the illumination only comes on when the keys are pressed though it does work when the charging cable is disconnected, but not all the time with it sometimes only lighting up when the keys are pressed. It fails to illuminate quite often with my hand hovering over the keyboard. I do find that without the illumination the characters on the keys look faint on the greyish keys and hard to see in comparison to a very much cheaper non back lit Logitech MK270, which has bright white and very easy to see characters on the black keys.
