Logitech K310
I haven't had a need to clean it yet so I can't comment on that, but it seems pretty standard. However as a keyboard it actually works better than I expected. For my preference, it actually feels better to type on than the Wave keyboard did. The keys are very responsive and have a soft feel to them.
The Wave keyboard has a whole bunch of extra buttons for playing media and stuff like that, but I quite literally never used them once. Not having all of these extra buttons and just sticking to a standard keyboard is actually a plus for me in this instance. The keyboard takes up about half the space on my desk which is nice if you ever have papers or books around when you're typing. If you think you will need those extra media buttons, they are still available, they are just combined with function keys. Since I don't use them anyway it doesn't matter to me, but it does involve an extra key press to access those functions.
The only other thing I would have really liked is illuminated keys. However the white keys on black background makes the keys easy to see even with low light, so it's still an improvement over an all black keyboard.
When I have a need to clean this, I might report back with my experience there but judging by the other reviews, it should be pretty straightforward.
Initially the spacebar didn't work, and I thought maybe I'd ended up with a bad keyboard.
I popped the spacebar off and put it back on correctly (the metal wire wasn't set right). Fixed.
I like the feel of the keys, and the quietness of them. So many keyboards I've used that are noisy.
I have liked this keyboard well enough for home use, that I now will be buying another one to use at my work to replace the annoyingly loud dell.
My last keyboard started flaking out with the 1 key (used it a lot through years of gaming). I can't verify this keyboards longevity, but if anything is to happen to it in the future, I will update this review. (Likewise I will update once it needs a wash and I've confirmed all is good afterward.)
The design of the keyboard is very modern. It's slick, thin with white raised keys of the flat board. Coming from other more expensive keyboards the separated keys are an extremely well welcomed feature compared to other keyboards that tend to space everything close together and rely on different heights
to help separate the keys. All the keys are the same height on this keyboard but the space helps keep them apart ( and prevents me from hitting multiple keys at the same time by mistake ).
The White keys are an eyesore at first to look directly at if your coming from a all black keyboard but the contrast is GREAT at night time because they stand out in the dark against the light of the computer monitor! So if you know your key locations again the spacing between them makes them even more visible.
My only cons would be that the keyboard doesn't have an marco/media buttons on the sides for quick access instead just has FN features. But overall I love this keyboard. It's washable, comes with a little dusting brush to clean between washes and looks and feels great. I will be buying a second one to store away whenever logitech decides to discontinue this product.
Pros:
-nice looking
-super easy to clean
Cons:
-Could be softer - not quite as soft as a laptop keyboard.
-the keys do not have a concave dip - which I never noticed on standard keyboards before but now I miss! Without these dips, it can be difficult to locate the keys when typing by muscle memory. It took me about a week or two to re-train myself to find all the common keys I use. In particular it took me a while to re-find the arrow key group and the insert, delete, home, etc. group. Not a real problem now but just not that all the keys feel the same - I've learn to let my fingers bump into the keys from the side in order to find certain groups of keys.
***edit****
After typing on this keyboard for months now, I'm bumping up the grade. Initially I had trouble finding certain keys like the Insert, Delete, Home, End, because of the uniform nature of the keys - Sure enough, my muscle memory has mapped the keyboard and I easily find keys now.
The keyboard stays very clean and doesn't suffer mushiness that occurs when food and other debris gets between the keys and the board.
What I don't like is that the keys feel a bit squishy. There isn't a whole lot of feedback from the keys and I don't like typing on it for long periods of time.
I do really like the way it looks though. The board is a dark grey and the keys are white, and the whole thing pops really nicely. I've gotten a bunch of comments on how good it looks.
This keyboard has put up with everything I've done. In case you didn't look at all the photographs, it comes with a little brush that clips to the backside and it's very helpful for a light dusting. I have yet to have to physically wash this keyboard because of the little brush.
The keys are raised, but it hasn't affected my efficiency at typing in any way. I honestly prefer this type of key at this point because you don't have to worry about anything falling between the keys that you would see on a typical keyboard. The brush easily works around them and removes any debris.
Highly recommend this keyboard. Also, I'm not as filthy as this review makes me sound. I just really hate any bit of dust or debris on my keyboard.
The keys are responsive and almost clicky (like a mechanical) but at the same time still have that laptop-ish feel.
The only thing that worries me is what's happened to the spacebar so far. I've only owned it for a few weeks, but the matte finish on the right side of the spacebar has already worn down into a glossy finish just from hitting the spacebar a few thousand times.
This won't really impact the functionality of the keyboard, but I'd hate to see what happens to the keys if/when this ever happens to them.
