Logitech Pop Keys - A Value-Driven Keyboard for Productivity and Convenience

Due to the necessity of working remotely, I found it essential to purchase a new keyboard for better efficiency and comfort. Working on a laptop with its built-in keyboard can be quite inconvenient, so I compiled a list of my requirements:

1. Sleek and attractive appearance.

2. Preferably a mechanical keyboard for the satisfying crisp typing sound.

3. Easy portability.

4. User-friendly and functional features.

5. Affordable price range.

Having a clear target made finding the ideal keyboard a straightforward task. Now, let's delve into my experience with the chosen keyboard. Firstly, in terms of price, I managed to use a coupon offering a significant discount of 500-300 yuan, ultimately purchasing it for 279 yuan. This was an excellent deal and can be considered quite budget-friendly. I will be sharing similar coupons in the future.

I opted for the classic yellow and black color combination, known for its timeless appeal. Currently, the keyboard is available in three different colors.

The packaging itself showcases a unique and interesting design. Upon opening the package, I discovered a receiver and four keycaps. The keycaps resemble memes and can be used as replacements for ????. This particular keyboard utilizes the latest bolt protocol for connectivity, allowing users to quickly understand its functionality through the provided operation diagram.

One of the notable features of this keyboard is its replaceable four keycaps, positioned as shortcuts on the far right side (providing a one-click feature to send emoji expression packs, with the three bottom keycaps used to swiftly open the emoticon input panel).

Now, some might wonder where the connector needs to be placed. In fact, the keyboard was designed with this consideration in mind, as it is cleverly located within the battery compartment.

The keyboard adopts a retro printing machine design, featuring round keycaps reminiscent of vintage typewriters. All the letter keys are indented, while the function keys protrude for ease of distinction. The "esc" key is adorned with gold paint, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. With an 84-key layout, including easily accessible arrow keys, this design is more practical compared to the typical 87-key layout.

The keycaps are crafted from ABS material, with yellow printing and black strokes providing a visually appealing combination.

The back of the keyboard features five protruding non-slip pads, replacing the need for traditional keyboard feet. Additionally, the battery compartment protrusions offer a slight tilt to the entire keyboard.

The key switches, customized by TTC, give a satisfying clicking sensation, while the function keys remain stable without any wobbling. However, due to the design of the space bar, which has only three support points, a mild sense of shaking may be felt.

Furthermore, Logitech's software support greatly enhances the keyboard's versatility. Through the Logitech Peripheral Application Software, users can monitor connection status, battery usage, and customize function keys to suit their preferences.

In summary, here are the key highlights of this keyboard:

1. It offers great value for its price.

2. The sleek appearance makes it an excellent choice as a gift.

3. The brown switch keycaps provide a suitable force for rebound and feedback during typing.

4. The software support expands its functionality and usage possibilities.

5. The unique emoticon package design adds a distinctive touch to the keyboard.

However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks to consider:

1. The keyboard's overall weight makes it slightly inconvenient for portability.

2. The compact layout may take some time to get used to, resulting in occasional typing errors. However, after a morning of use, blind typing becomes easily achievable.

In conclusion, this keyboard fulfills all the necessary criteria I was searching for when transitioning to a remote work setup. With its impressive performance, comfortable typing experience, and additional software features, it has truly been a valuable addition to my work-from-home essentials.
