Logitech MX Keys Review: Smart choice for multi-device users
I've had the MX Keys for a little over a year. The keyboard is well made and pretty sturdy. Typing is good. But....If you are buying this because of the backlighting, don't. It's very frustrating to use. The keycaps font is a translucent material to let the light through and not white, so in dimly lit environments, you really can't see the keys without the backlighting. The proximity sensor to turn on the backlight does not work reliably in low light. Frequently have to wave my hands over the keys to get the backlighting to turn on and then it turns off automatically after about 5-10 seconds and repeat. See the issue. Yes you can leave it plugged in, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a bluethooth connected device. When plugged in the backlight stays on for a few minutes.There is no way to control the backlighting duration in the Logi Options+ software. If you search the logitech support forum for the MX you will see quite a few posts where people are asking for control of the backlighting. These posts go back two or more years. Nothing has been done.So do your research before dropping $100+ on this keyboard.

Review: Zens Dual + Watch wireless Qi charger is great, but still no AirPower
This is true for any Lithium-Ion battery. With high charge rates there is a slight degradation of the battery. This happens slowly over time. Same happens when they are completely drained to past their nominal voltage or always left @ 100%. 80/20 is where they like to stay. Though Apple sets what voltage 0 and 100% is.bluefire1 said:Good review and a question: Charging the iPhone is limited to 7.5 watts, and the 29 watt charger is approved by Apple for use. I’ve heard that using the rapid charger will shorten the iPhone’s battery life. Is there any truth to that?
