this keyboard is very sober no bling bling here only the good stuff and all the feature a good keybord need to have . the cap's are well lit and very visible , the backlit got 4 mode: breathing mode ,always lit, dim +/- and off
Using with HTPC. Fantastic range, go through walls, run from other rooms in our house! I have big hands, but the tactile feedback makes it very usable. Back-lighting is even and effective. Laser pointer great way to get a cat out of the way of the TV, though I don't think that was the intended purpose. Perfect size, not too big not too small. Fits in the bin with other remote controls. Built-in LiON battery charged via USB takes the hassle out of it.
Sleek Turns on when you get it Fully customizable
- Great key feel - Looks tiny but feels full size
- Great action: e.g., pressing on the corner of larger keys like Tab, the whole key depresses (unlike cheaper keyboards that such a keypress on the corner of a small key might not register, but that's NOT the case here) - Low-profile keys - "island" keys (sometimes called "chicklets") - Almost completely silent (probably due to membrane switches; far end of spectrum compared to sounds of mechanical keyboards, even Cherry REDs with dampeners) - US layout that includes basic media keys via Fn + Function keys on top row - Small footprint: the body of the keyboard barely extends beyond the keys such that the Dell logo is is near the 3 LEDs.
The MX Keys is the best keyboard that I have ever used. This is my second. The first is still good after 6 years of hard daily use. Zero key collapses. Key actions are precise. I like the heaviness of the board itself; the angle is perfect for desktop use. I haven't explored differences yet, but expect no surprises since they are essentially the same board. Setup is totally simple and it is Bluetooth compatible.
