I won't repeat too much of what has already been said. The feel of the keys is like my old IBM ThinkPad X31 (and slightly better than my new Lenovo T400). I find it excellent to type on and easier on my fingers than the "normal" desktop keyboards. I am however a reasonably fast hunt and peck typist not a touch typist so I cannot say if it will suit the latter. If this was stolen I would buy another one without hesitation. In response to previous reviewers the space bar works wherever you press it and the little feet don't seem flimsy to me. They don't create much tilt but again, it seems enough for me. The keyboard feels and handles like one on a very good laptop and I suspect if, like me, you prefer typing on a laptop to a desktop then you will like this keyboard. Now the niggles. There is a slight amount of light leakage around the keys which is OK but the annoying thing is the slight buzz/hum that comes from the keyboard when the lights are on medium or low (not there when they are off or on bright). This is annoying when working in a (very)silent room.

Hi, I actually bought this as a gift for my husband, and he is absolutely delighted with it, because he plays a lot of PC Games, especially late at night when everyone is in bed, he says that he tried other (lit) keyboards and they were only rubbish compared to this one. He says that it is about time somebody came up with a decent and practical idea of a keyboard that you dont have to have light shining on your keys and characters to see them, now he can play in the dark and it makes a wonderful ambience and much more convenience even in general computing. It has a very elegant and sleek look to it, looks very nice indeed, I am using it a lot myself now lately, may have to go for another one yet, who knows?. We both think it is tops, full marks. Delivery was slow but it was worth it. Regards, Pauline and Denis Murphy.

As an awful lot of points have been covered here by other users, I'd like to cover this product from a different angle. Firstly you would need to be a typist to fully appreciate the finer aspects of this keyboard. If you're a hunt and peck, then I don't think you would get the most out of it and would possibly be better served with something cheaper.The illumination is a bit like a Xerox machine. You don't really know you need it until you've tried it. Once you've used it and have got used to it, there's no going back, and you begin to wonder how on earth you managed without it in the first place.The keys have got the perfect weighting and just the right amount of travel and all in all is absolutely perfect and a joy to use. The function keys offer a different way of working, but like all things new you need to give yourself time to adjust. Once you've used it for a while, you soon settle in. Also, the keyboard itself is nicely weighted and sits positively on the desk and doesn't slide around when you get a wiggle on, as my old Microsoft one used to.Like every other keyboard, underneath on the front edge there are little legs that you fold down in order to tilt the keyboard towards the user. When mine first arrived naturally the first thing I did after unpacking it was to fold down the little legs and place it in front of me. There it sat tilted towards me, as you would expect, looking resplendent. Then I began to wonder. It occurred to me just how weedy the little legs were. They couldn't be described as flimsy, as Logitech would have more sense than putting flimsy legs on such a premium product, but they are indeed.......weedy. Very weedy indeed. So I lifted it up and turned it over and looked at the weedy legs for some time. Then the thought crossed my mind, that Logitech in their wisdom didn't really want me to use them. It was as if Logitech had installed the weedy legs as an afterthought but didn't really want you to use them at all. After all, if the legs were intended to be used properly and weight to be put upon them they would have made them a lot more sturdier than they are. So for the first time in my life I decided not to use them at all and to leave them folded up out of the way, where they are presumably intended to stay.That was the beginning of a miracle. With the keyboard lying flat, the user has no choice but to sit up and take notice of what he or she is supposed to be doing. I've found my whole posture has improved immensely. My back is straight and my arms and hands in a more natural position which is absolutely ideal for a long day's typing. Slouching over a keyboard with head drooped is now a thing of the past, and my productivity has certainly improved and increased no-end. Logitech have certainly thought this through and as far as I'm concerned, it's a stroke of genius. Well done Logitech. I shall certainly be taking a keen interest in Logitech and their products in future as they seem to have left Microsoft far behind. Come on Microsoft wake up, you're asleep again.
