Logitech Wireless Keyboard K270 with Long-Range Wireless

I have a K270 I purchased back in 2014, and I loved it so much I wanted to get another, just to have, as a backup/reserve, just in case. Well, I could not have anticipated the level of disappointment I got with this new K270. The quality is so vastly reduced, its clear Logitech switched manufacturers, both are in China, so that in itself is not the issue. The Chinese are fully capable of making very high quality technological devices. The wireless connectivity is sporadic, cuts in and out even with the USB receiver literally one foot away. We all know how maddening that is. Based on the difference in quality, they have to be saving at least 50%. Its sad, and unfortunately a sign of the times. Its terrible. Dont buy it. I have been a huge Logitech proponent for more than 20 years. I bought the first wireless mouse they offered in the late 90s, which had a giant transceiver, bigger than the mouse itself, and it was awesome! It would still be awesome today. I dont have any alternative recommendations, other than get something else, and perhaps youll have to pay more than typical consumers expect to pay these days... I do believe Logitech does still offer quality components, but unfortunately its difficult to tell if thats what youre buying.

I had high expectations for the wireless K270 keyboard. But its been replaced by a traditional old-school USB keyboard. The Logitech K270 started out fine. I could sit with it on my lap and my Logitech wireless Trackball (which is fantastic) on my arm rest. But after about two months and out of the warranty and customer service window it started lagging. That is, I could hit a key and literally (and I knowingly use "literally") it would take 5-10 seconds for the letter to appear. As I got impatient, I might hit the same key several times and then magically 15-20 letters would appear. This happened in word processing, emails, whatever application I was using. Various comments online suggested this isnt unusual and suggested possible cures: change position of the unifyer chip; plug directly into the computer, move stuff around on my desk. Nothing worked and doesnt work. While Im piling on, the overall build is cheap. The key movement is loose and clicky. But I could have lived with that. I cant live with 10-second letter lag time. If you try one, keep track of your warranty time and return in that window if you have to. Good luck!

Logitech products used to last for years with flawless performance. The last few products Ive purchased all started failing within two years. I used to buy their top of the line stuff, knowing itd be with me for at least three years, sometimes as long as ten years. I stopped buying their expensive stuff because it no longer lasted. Now the cheap stuff like this keyboard doesnt even work that well out of the box and within six months is noticeably dropping connections every time I used it. Within two years it cant type a sentence with out missing letters and dropping connections for many seconds out of every minute. Im typing this on a Vitalitim wireless keyboard that worked out of the box with no software and no hassle. No lag, its light and sturdy. Im sending the K270 to the landfill along with all the other logitech mice, universal remotes and headphones that have crapped out a few years after purchase. Im done with Logitech, the software is a hassle that adds less value than inconvenience and the build quality is rubbish.
