CAPS key came off when first plugged in
Seems good when taken out of package. Go to plug it in and the caps key was loose, eventually coming off. Very disappointed because the keys feel amazing and it has backlit keys. Only reason it gets a 2 is because it is backlit and shipping was quick.Read full review...

Too much good stuff. I love this keyboard.
I absolutely love this keyboard. It is backlit so i can easily see the keys when it get dark. It plugs into the computer with a usb cable so i dont ever have to worry about buying batteries. and I love that the keys are thin and they dont make very much noise when im typing. i find the thin keyboards like on laptops to be very nice because im not lifting my hands too far up and cramping my joints just to type. Thanks Logitech for this amazing keyboard. i hope they develope a ney style of this one in the future.Read full review...

Not just another light-up keyboard!
My husband purchased one of these wonderful Logitech keyboards first. He loves it, and after I tried it, I did as well, so he purchased me one for my own computer. And it is just great! It may be The Best Keyboard Ever. The appearance is totally elegant and looks nice anywhere. The lighting is bright but never glaring, and it has three levels of brightness to adjust for room ambience and one's own preference. The characters are illuminated, rather than the entire keys, making it easier on the eyes.
All that is great, of course, but it doesn't amount to a diddly-whoop if the keys don't have a good feel, in my opinion. And these keys have a marvelous feel. I believe they are quite suitable for anyone, be they a heavy-handed key whomper like me, or one whose fingers dance lightly on the keys. They appear to be arranged in a logical and easy to use format as well.
I have fibromyalgia, and I often have a lot of trouble with pain and fatigue after extended keyboard use. I think this will be a great keyboard for me. I recommend it highly for writers, and I'm willing to bet that a gamer would like it too.
My only caveat is that this is a rather pricey implement, but when you consider how much time you really spend at a keyboard, I think you'll consider it a pretty good investment, as I do.Read full review...
Love it!
I love Logitech keyboards, especially this one. The illumination is wonderful and adjustable, typing is solid, with good rebound on keys. The key layout is perfect. So many of the new keyboards have changed the key layout and this ends up causing a lot of mis-hits and typos. I prefer the long enter key with the left slant key above. I was constantly hitting the left slant key instead of the enter key on my last keyboard. The tall delete key is a nice feature, also. The soft touch wrist pad is a very nice feature and very comfortable. The legs give it a slight rise in the back if you like your keyboard on a slant. I prefer a greater slant than these afforded, so I added some taller rubber pads, which made it perfect for me. I also love a full number keypad, which this one has. This is the third illuminated keyboard I've purchased and I must say it "outshines" the others. I'm very pleased with it and highly recommend it.Read full review...

Lives up to the good reviews
It is hard to evaluate keyboards without having one in front of you to touch. I took a chance on ordering this never having seen one in person, but I'm glad I bought it. It definitely has a "premium" feel to the keys that is hard to describe. Go to a thrift store and test out the many entry-level keyboards people donate, and you find they tend to have a slightly wiggly, uncertain feel to the keys. This Logitech keyboard is nothing like that. Each key motion is clean and certain. The overall build is solid, too--not cheap or flimsy. The key motion is also very quiet. Not absolutely silent. Some fancy chiclet keyboards might be even quieter, but this is pretty close. If you are using this in a shared space, it does not have any annoying click-clack sounds to irritate others.
The illumination is very nice in every way. It is functional--I have no problem seeing any of the characters or numbers on the keys--and it is pleasant to look at, not garish like some of the red/purple gaming keyboards I've seen.
This is hardly scientific, but I tested my typing speed with the new keyboard and found it was consistently about 10 wpm faster, and more accurate than with cheaper keyboards I have around the house. I suspect the speed comes from the accuracy in that I'm not second-guessing and pausing to see if I hit the key right, or if it registered. The key motion is just so good and certain that it is a pleasure to do heavy typing on it. I had a cheap "comes with PC" keyboard for a while that was the opposite of this--lots of missed characters or double-keying.
Two small quibbles that I share with some other reviewers: the F-keys along the top have the alternate functions illuminated instead of the F numbers. This actually makes sense, since users are better able to guess, or just count the number over, but you would have to *memorize* the "email" and "calculator" functions if you can't see them. Still, it's a little weird to just see icons lit up. The other issue is the attached palm rest. I used to use a thick, soft gel wrist rest separate from the keyboard which I liked quite a bit. This is "soft" the way a rubberized smart-phone shell is soft. It's not hard, brittle plastic, but it has absolutely no sponge-like softness to it. The fact it is attached means I have to live with it, as it's not practical to put the gel wrist rest on top of it. I haven't had any discomfort from using it, so maybe I never needed all that cushion in the first place. Overall, neither of these are enough for me to drop the rating by a star. If I could, maybe I'd give if 4 and a half stars.
In the end, I'm happy I paid more for a "premium" keyboard like this. There are lots of $15-20 keyboards out there, plus like I say the entry-level ones that come with basic PCs. There really is a difference when you pay a little more. If you type a lot for work or school, I do think you'll benefit from the higher build quality and smooth keystrokes.
And by the way, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" one, so I saved some money on it this way, and the keyboard looked pristine and functioned perfectly, so I have no regrets not buying a truly new one. As always, YMMV when it comes to used/refurbished items, but that was my experience.Read full review...

Say Goodbye To Tired Fingers and Eyes!
The feel of this keyboard is amazing. Well-built, sleek, stylish and low profile. It is well built, solid and has a very high quality and finished feel to it. Blows my MS keyboard away by comparison.<br>The backlight keys are a great feature, though I wish they lit the function keys. No matter, really. They are laid out in blocks of 4, so are easy to find anyway, but that does not detract much from this keyboard. Hotkeys are in dayglo orange, and can be customized with the excellent downloaded software from Logitech. (Don't bother with the disc provided) Keys have an excellent response, being smooth and quiet. Backlight is a great feature, with 3 settings, and you can turn it off, if desired. Very little light bleed around keys, and the laser etched characters improve visibility, and to the overall high quality feel of this kb.Palm rest is perfect size, as not being too deep as to defeat the low profile style, and not to narrow to make it useless. Keyboard is bordered with 1/4" smooth lucite on 3 sides, a very nice detail. I teamed this up with a Logitech M305 wireless mouse, and revamped my desktop through Ebay for under 70 dollars!
Finally, I can type quietly in the dark, without my glasses!Read full review...
Great Keyboard
I was looking for an economical wired USB backlit keyboard in a standard full size layout - this fits the bill almost perfectly.
Positives: Several levels of backlight adjustment. Good responsive keyboard action. Very reasonable price. Wired with no batteries to replace.
Negative: These are all minor and my opinion: The keyboard layout is not quite standard. The delete key is extra big, displacing the insert key to the row above. The right Windows key is replaced with a FN key to access the keyboard special functions. The backlighting for the F1-F12 keys backlights the FN shortcuts instead of the F1-F12 keys. I don't understand why they find it necessary to muck around with a standard layout!!!
But the positives far outweighed the negatives and I'd highly recommend this.Read full review...

Logitech Illuminated Keyboard K740
Less than half the price of a new keyboard and worth it.
The keyboard wasn't as clean as I liked so I disassembled it and
completely cleaned it to my satisfaction.
The keyboard mechanics are made similar the laptop keyboard and is well constructed.
Typing is easy and quiet, no different than a laptop.
The illuminated Keys are easy to see and has three levels of brightness plus off position.
Beware I've seen several Back Lite keyboards but the key letters are not illuminated this
one is. With Logitech Keyboard SetPoint software (download it from Logitech web site)
you can assign some function keys to your preference.
The only gripe I have with this keyboard is the Function Keys are Illuminated with the
short cut Icons not the Function keys numbers ( F1 - F12 ) but all in all I can live with it.
A ++ Keyboard.Read full review...

Lightweight brightly lit keys
I have replaced all 3 of my keyboards with this one. Key are very brightly lit, full size, responsive. The only negative I have is that it is not spill-proof, and the manufacturer hasn't really addressed my question about repair of a spill on the keyboard. Nevertheless, you can occasionally find these refurbished online for about $40, a great bargain for a great backlit keyboard. I'm just trying to find the refurbisher! I own 5, of which 1 has been spilled on and doesn't work, but I happily replaced it with a new one. Bought 3, dropped one on the corner of a piece of furniture and lost the caps lock key and couldn't stick it back on, spilled on one, so both problems were my own fault, so I bought 2 more, all for about $40 apiece with free shipping. Would buy again in a heartbeat. A great keyboard, you can always see the keys.Read full review...

Best Keyboard ever made.
I have owned this model keyboard for about 4 years. I like to work with the light off in my office, and the lighted keyboard makes it a dream to use. The keys are so easy to push, and make virtually no noise. The lighted keys on this keyboard will never wear out, as the lettering and numbering is solid through and through. I needed another keyboard for a second computer I have aquired, and would only insist it be this model. I think I will purchase a second one, and just keep it around for a spare. You will be in for a treat if you purchase one of these.Read full review...
