Yeah, I was thinking the same! But I also can see how the dial is handy due to nice large form factor so less fidgety than on the mouse. I thought the Craft would have housed some extra batteries in the top bar. I’m disappointed they didn’t and its only 3 day battery life. The Brydge keyboard I use for my iPad Pro lasts 3 - 12 months on a single charge 🙀 Here in NZ MX keys are $209 on special while the Craft is out of stock even on the Logitech site at $419. I will get the MX keys today I think 🤔 If Brydge keyboards made desktop keyboards that and mechanical keyboards are only real competition for Logitech!

As far as I can tell, the face of the MX is also plastic, just metallic coloured. The top of the Craft feels like metal, though. For me a plus for the MX is that it uses less space. Both could benefit from larger range of motion of the keys, the current feel is more like that of a notebook. For some, though, the advantage may be a more consistent typing between desktop and notebook. A the same time, the base could be even thinner, the thickness of the keyboard is comparable to that of modern notebooks but w/o all the electronics below. What is that space actually being used for?

Thanks for nice review! Are you sure about battery live of the Craft keyboard? I bought one a month ago and used it with lights on almost every day. For 2 up to six hours a day. It’s still work since the first factory charge. An aluminum bar on the top of craft keyboard contains more space inside for bigger battery than mx keys. Unfortunately sometimes Logitech have an issues with batteries on the Craft keyboard, and that’s something to keep in mind.

I got this specifically for the customizability. 17 possible one button shortcuts for pretty much anything you can think of, and even more if you have one of the MX mice. Undo, redo, copy, paste, save, and a bunch of others each can have their own button. They can also be further customized for each individual application you use. Super useful for a programmer like me. As a bonus, you can also control your tv show playing in the background without hunting down the remote by connecting it to your tv with Bluetooth.

You can set the custom keys to any keystroke shortcut or to launch any application among other things. I don't know if Mac or Linux has an equivalent, but in Windows, Win+Shift+S will let you draw out where you want a screenshot. I have one of my own keys set to this shortcut, and it works great. It's also so flexible that you could definitely find a way if this doesn't work for your setup.

Is there a software setting to schedule when the backlighting is activated? would be really useful for battery life if you could schedule it to only come on during night. For $200 Logitech should update the Craft so that it's all metal including the keys, and has an ambient light sensor in addition to the proximity sensor so that the backlighting only comes on when it's dark, to save battery life.
