This keyboard was my introduction to mechanical keyboards.
I am used to the very flat keyboards (Apple keyboards or Razor Deathstalker, for example) and had trouble typing at the beginning: I was less fast and made many typing errors. But you quickly get used to it. I hardly make any mistakes and feel as fast as before. But I haven't measured it with words-per-minute tests.
The sound and volume of the MX Brown switches are pleasant, but rather loud for me overall. You could probably grease them a bit and they would sound muffled.
Since I bought the keyboard in the last gaming sale (109 Swiss francs), the price-performance ratio is right for me.
The disadvantages I mentioned may not be a problem for others. However, it is a pity that the keys are hardly legible in daylight without illumination. The part of the keys that is not illuminated is a bit clearer to read, but not clear enough from my point of view.
The USB port on the keyboard may be practical for some, but not for me, especially because it is not USB 3 compatible. What's even more stupid is that you then have a second USB plug dangling from the already very thick cable.
The brightness of the keys is fine for me. Not too bright, not too dim.
The keyboard is quite heavy and doesn't slip at all on my wooden desk.
The G-Hub software is not really user-friendly - but apparently still better than corresponding software from other keyboard manufacturers.
I almost forgot: the palm rest is amazing. You don't get that easily with other keyboards, so it's special here. It's super comfortable and luckily it can be placed anywhere and not directly on the keyboard. So you can position it however you like.

I can only agree with D3sm0nd. The colour is already gone and then you only have glowing buttons. Absolutely disappointing for Logitech. I will still write to Logitech and test the support. But it definitely did not meet my expectations.
