    If you get the right layout, this is the best keyboard on Earth

    I'm typing this on a K740. I own 2 from when they were still being made and not being sold at over $400. If something were to damage my keyboard to the point it was not reparable with doners from ebay, I would buy another for over $400.I did not buy from this seller and multiple reviews have said they got an unexpected layout. I probably wouldn't roll those dice and the seller needs to list the region layout(s) available clearly, but if you take the gamble and get the layout you want, there is no better keyboard.

    Check keyboard layout first

    The problem I have is the way in which it is sold. I failed to notice that this is not a English QWERTY keyboard even though on is shown in the photos. Other than that j really enjoy using this keyboard. It's very quiet and the keys are easy to see in low light which is ideally for my streaming and video channel. I Would recommend this keyboard but make sure you check that you are getting the correct keyboard layout.

    Foto fasulle

    La tastiera non corrisponde alle immagini mostrate, ci sono simboli da noi inutilizzabili, è Norvegese

    Logitech don't produce any good keyboards these days as far as I can see

    Heavy, clicky keys. Logitech don't produce any good keyboards these days as far as I can see. Very poor value for money.
