## Description

Review: My third KB 740 in eight years - This is the third Logitech illuminated keyboard I've bought since 2011. They are good-looking, (fairly) robust and loaded with useful features such as the facility to disable caps lock via the Logitech software. I don't touch type and often work at night, so the illuminated keys are a real help as they allow me to work in low light. Although the keyboard is expensive, it is very well made with super-quiet keys and excellent fit and finish. If you ever have to take it apart (I'll come to that), it is easy to remove the back once you realise there are four screws beneath the product labels on the underside as well as the ones that are visible. Inside, there's a sturdy metal chassis for weight and rigidity. Compared to the 2014-bought one it has replaced, my latest KB740 has much quieter keys, especially the spacebar. I'm not sure whether that is due to design or because the old one had been hammered hard for nearly five years. Another welcome difference is that the 2014 item cost 35% more than the 2011 one (£69.99 vs £52), whereas the price of the 2019 one hasn't changed since 2014. While the keyboard is definitely robust and will stand up to several years of hard use, I would make one observation as a left-handed user. As I use the mouse with my left hand, the heel of my right hand tends to rest on the right end of the built-in palm rest when I'm not typing. Duh!, you say. That's what it's there for. However, the rest is made of fairly thin plastic and eventually it can crack where the non-mouse hand rests. Since the circuit board and usb/power connector are beneath the right end of the rest, you eventually end up getting intermittent disconnections. Thanks to it being user-serviceable, the problem can be fixed for a while with superglue but eventually the connection gives up the ghost. That aside, it's a great keyboard and good value for money at 26p per week over five years considering the amount of use I get out of it.
Review: Excellent keyboard, thin, with very soft keys and a very subtle, ergonomic design. - I have a chronic back problem so having a well designed keyboard is key for me. I have tried a large number and this one is by far the best for the following reasons: 1. Very soft, easy keys that are not too high. You don't have to exert much pressure, the keys are very comfortable and do not tire the muscles in your fingers or (more importantly for me) in your back. 2. Very thin, ergonomic design: the keyboard is not just less than 1cm thick, it is also very subtly tailored so that the wrist rest meets the wrists gently and the keys are then slightly recessed, so that the fingers 'fall' on them naturally. On many keyboards the keys are on a slope from the wrist rest, and that creates strain. 3. Very comfortable wrist rest: it is soft touch, which makes a huge difference. It is also angled to perfection. 4. A good 'Del' key. Too often this is just a small key. Here it is large, about the same length as the 'Enter' key. If like me you touch type it makes a huge difference, you hit it every time without looking. 5. As I touch type, I can't say that the lit keys are a big plus for me. But the lighting is nicely adjustable. I have tried about 10 keyboards and this is the only one I found I wanted to use (and could use without strain). It is well worth the price.

*by R***. on 29 January 2016*

This is a beautiful keyboard with good backlighting and a nice feel to the keys. The front bezel is pleasant to rest the hands on and slopes down to a very thin front edge. BUT something which I saw mentioned in a couple of reviews is turning out to be true. The key tops very easily become detached and are then difficult to clip back on, and I'm not heavy handed when typing. This is a shame because I love the keyboard otherwise. I've always been a fan of Logitech gear.
