Great product with some caveats
I've had the keyboard for a few months now and I can honestly say it is one of the better feeling keyboards I've owned. The materials/build quality are great, and despite them not using more mainstream switches, Logitech's own switches still feel nice. Battery life has also been very good. However, there are a few drawbacks which prevent me from saying it is a five-star product. Firstly, the software experience leaves much to be desired. While it isn't as resource heavy and prone to crashing as other companies peripheral software, it could use some much needed redesigning. I am of the belief that the consumer shouldn't have to Google or go to YouTube to find out how to operate software for a keyboard, and I had to do that multiple times to find out how to change lighting effects, changing lighting profiles, etc. While it wasn't a horrible experience in the end, it could definitely use some refinement to be more user friendly. Which brings me to my second issue with the keyboard... It uses Micro-USB instead of USB C. At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal, but if you are trying to market this as a premium product, you probably should use modern standards for charging/data transfer. I honestly can't remember the last time I used microUSB, and it was genuinely shocking to me that Logitech would use it instead of USB-C given the market that this keyboard is designed for. Instead of me being able to use my phones charger or any other device that uses USB-C, I have to make sure to keep this Micro-USB cable around and it just seems both wasteful in a way, and cheap. This is made worse by the fact that other Logitech's premium peripheral's like their lightspeed mouse, also uses Micro-USB instead of USB-C. Lastly, the special characters and keys that have multiple functions (like brackets, hashtags, etc) while backlit for their major function, are not backlit for their secondary function. The backlighting is nice, but not complete for some of the keys. I would semi-frequently find myself looking for the ampersand or dollar sign keys, but because they aren't backlight like their primary function is, it can mean looking down and squinting to find where they are. All-in-all what I'll say is this, Logitech continues to make good quality products and I'm happy with my purchase, but in the future, dump Micro-USB. It's a dead connection type. Apply the backlighting effect to the full key and put a little more work into the user experience for the keyboard's software.

Good keyboard overall with just a few complaints
The keyboard quality is amazing. I did not expect this type of durability, nor did I expect the cold, hard touch of metal. It's very thin, sleek and is a bit heavier than expected (although that's not bad). The RGB lights are pretty nice, too. Lower light settings definitely decrease battery drain, so keep that in mind if you don't need the lights blazing at full power. It's also really nice to clean as the keys stick out as opposed to some keyboards where the keys are sunk into the keyboard. There are some complaints, however. The tactile keys feel somewhat mushy, but you get used to that and it isn't much of an issue. Definitely more effort required to push a key than my G213 Prodigy, however (but much less travel). The rubber keys feel kind of cheap as well and don't push straight down unless you give it more pressure. I wish that they would have used USB-C for the connection. It's not much of a deal if you use it wirelessly or with a dongle, but it would be nice to see as a lot of devices are now on USB-C instead of USB-micro. Also, a compartment on the keyboard for the dongle would be nice if you wanted to take the thing with you and not have to worry about losing a small yet important thing. It's quite expensive for a keyboard, but if you can afford it or it's on sale, then I would recommend giving it a try.
