While I kind of like the Apple keyboard, what I really detest on it is the caps lock key. I usually hit it at the start of a sentence then hit it again to go to lower case but what happens is that my initial hit on the key does nothing then my second hit turns caps lock with the result that any sentence I type starts with a lower case letter and the rest in capitals. It doesn't help that the caps lock light is on the actual key as the way I type my fingers conceal it. I just wish the caps lock light was at the top of the keyboard. I tried out my brother's Razor mechanical gaming keyboard just to give it a try. I was considering getting a mechanical keyboard. Honestly, I did not feel as comfortable and I was not able type as fast on it as I am able to do on the Apple.

To be honest, I am not able to use the DELL keyboard at my office workstation as well as I am able to type on the Apple. Maybe it is low key-travel and stuff. Certainly would take a bit more getting used to. I just do not find anything more comfortable than my Apple keyboard. I have razer mouse and razer mechanical keyboard and I feel that using magic mouse and magic keyboard is more suitable for both. Magic keyboard: the magic keyboard has the same layout with my macbook's keyboard so I have better muscle memory using it than the mechanical keyboard with the thick key caps and the difference of the layout.

I am changing keyboards almost every 2-3 weeks but still i don't deny that I really like the magic keyboard. Magic mouse 2: I'm using gestures with my trackpad when i am on the way and the most common is three fingers slide right and left for changing fullscreen windows. I like the ergonomics of my Razer Deathadder but it doesn't feel and work as the Magic Mouse. I still prefer my Razer mouse for gaming like Counter Strike but still for daily drive i prefer Magic Mouse. It needs some time to get used to it but then is perfect. I have used the Logitech wireless K750 on my Mac for many years and wouldn't even think of trading it for some other keyboard. It's been on the market for quite a while and well-tested and received by numerous users.

It is a solid product, designed for the Mac. I have never had any operating problems or issues with the product but perhaps I am just lucky. It works the way it is supposed to with no problems!!! Can I really say more, but I will.

It is light and easily portable, even carrying it around in my backpack for some of my travels. I just switch the dongle from my desktop to my laptop giving me access to the keyboard as well as my wireless mouse. If you have a second Logitech unifying dongle, which I do, you don't even have to switch the dongle. No need to worry about batteries or Bluetooth connections (although I do not mean to imply there is anything wrong with Bluetooth.) Just follow a few simple directions to install the unifying software and then forget about it. Solar works well, even when sun is not shining. However, after years of use, I still haven't figured out whether I really get a recharge from non-solar light sources.

Anybody out there with some information on this issue? The 'unifying' dongle works perfectly with my mouse as well as keyboard.

One dongle for both. Saves a USB port, which is particularly important on a laptop.
