Web ID: 18746864Poor illumination design
I have purchased many Logitech products throughout the years and have always bragged about how excellent they serve me, until I experienced the K845 Keyboard. I must say that this is the worst keyboard I have ever worked with. The keys are accurate, and I knew they would be a bit noisy, but they are a lot noisier than I could have imagined, which wasn't an issue, it was hard to use because the keys are too tall, I felt like I was typing on an old manual typewriter from the 70's. The other issue is a flaw in design, the back lit keys light except the keys with the different command symbols that work in conjunction with the FN (Function key) I had to shine a flashlight on those keys, in order to see the symbols on the keys because they are so faint, The Engineers should have designed the whole key to light, not just the F1 through F12 keys.

Feels great, but keycaps are confusing.
This keyboard is very comfortable to type on. I love the feel of the keys. But I think the printing on the keycaps looks ugly, with many letters having strange cuts taken out from their shape, e.g. the "O" looks like an open and close parenthesis pair. And some function keys are strangely abbreviated, like "HM" instead of "Home". As a touch typist this does not matter much.

Great in theory
Love the features this keyboard has, but the backlighting is fading on numbers after less than a month. I’ve been looking for a good white backlit wired keyboard for months, and the search continues…
