What customers say about "Keys"

Logitech MK520 Wireless Keyboard

The keys feel a little more "gritty" which allows my fingers to grasp the keys better.
Keyboard also has some interesting shortcut keys on the function row.
You get to snap the keys a little and they respond well.
All of the keys work. I like the comfortable wide hand rest below the keys.
The keys got slower to respond, prone to freeze-up and super frustrating.

Shortcut keys for sleep and settings is nice.
I love the versatility of it with the programmable keys.
Furthermore, the keys are located where I expect them!
The keyboard is made of some non-smooth plastic, keys feel like cheep plastic.
And I noticed some of my keys had the symbols rubbed out.
