First of all, does it look very different from anything you knew, and in our eyes?
It is excellent.
But beyond the design itself, with the arrival of Logitech's new mouse and keyboard, there has been a lot of skepticism, because what can already be upgraded or renewed in this area?
So it turns out quite a bit.
Similar to headphones, controllers and even chairs, we use many designed accessories while we work or when we play (hopefully you have taken care to leave yourself time for gaming as well).
The question that is always asked is why the hit mouse is useful, or the keyboard which is by far the most important thing in the home office - did not really occupy a place of honor in terms of design or technological innovations.
The new Logitech series seeks to reform in this area, but is it worth the price?
Unique design - Logitech POP,
The Logitech POP Keys keyboard
is a wireless and designed mechanical keyboard, it offers comfortable and productive work for prolonged use.
The keyboard includes 5 built-in Emoji keys and another 4 interchangeable keys, along with a colorful design full of style, an advanced user experience and an extremely long battery life - up to 3 years.
Emoji buttons on the body of the keyboard, the case includes additional emoji buttons that can be replaced,
As mentioned, the keyboard is wireless, which proves to be very useful, especially when we want to control computers that are physically distant from us in the home (for example in the living room) or in the office (for example in a conference room controlled by a projector).
The connection of the keyboard to the computer is made by connecting a dedicated USB dongle that comes in the keyboard case or alternatively using Bluetooth.
POP - "pop out" buttons,
Apparently the series is not just called "POP", the keys on Logitech's new keyboard pop out, as in a typewriter of yesteryear.
In recent years mechanical keyboards have made a comeback mainly in the gamers segment, although the POP keyboard is not a gaming keyboard but its design certainly connects to a younger and fresher niche than the keyboards we are all used to.
Beyond the precision of pressing each and every button that is built separately and not as part of a single piece on the mechanical keyboard (as opposed to standard keyboards), there is also the nostalgic element that reminds us of the good, professional and accurate days of typewriters.
Just as the difference between listening to music on a turntable from a record versus listening to a digital file on Spotify, so too in the typewriter effect that the keyboard in the POP series brings to the table.
Customization of the various keyboard buttons is easily made possible by using the Logitech app,
The resemblance to typewriter is something that gives us a kind of sense of importance and a certain weight to the very activity of writing words.
The main problem is that the same weight is also physically expressed in reality, a disadvantage that is probably one of the main reasons that the monstrous typewriters of yesteryear have pretty much become extinct from the world.
Even in our case, the state-of-the-art mechanical keyboard is simply too heavy.
If you are working on a desk, it does not matter much, on the contrary, it may even lead to the stability and fixation of the keyboard in place.
So where does the problem arise?
When we for example want to sit in the living room, and control the computer connected to the TV (for example in the case of a study group the need is very common), in cases like this we want to put the keyboard on our lap and then definitely feel its weight does it no favors.
Logitech mouse - designed with the option of simple customization,
the mouse
What could already be special about a mouse you ask?
Well, Logitech's wireless mouse definitely puts the advanced technology and stylish design at the center.
The design solution refreshes the workspace that usually felt like an overly gray area, but some would think that the design of the POP series might be too colorful and childish.
Customizing the various buttons very easily, and using an emoji keyboard by pressing directly from the mouse itself,
Beyond the design itself, there are a variety of customization options in the mouse section as well, the customization is impressive, you can install the Logitech app (which already comes with the dongle attached to the keyboard, but can also be found online), allowing the user to choose what each mouse button will do more easily. And allows a situation where in different applications the mouse will perform other actions that are set in advance.
In addition, pressing the button located next to the pulley will open the full emoji menu from which we can quickly select an emoji.
Of course you can also choose what will be the role of the pulley which also functions as an additional button.
Logitech's mouse - comes in a variety of colors,
The feel of the mouse in the hand shows that advanced human engineering work has been done, its dimensions are comfortable and its weight is light, all of which allow enjoyment of the comfort of using it anywhere and for a long time.
Mouse battery life - up to two years.
The mouse features a quick transition between fast scrolling mode and high precision mode, thanks to the Smartwheel roller built into it.
The keyboard is heavy, the mouse is light - Logitech,
All Logitech POP series products offer connection to up to 3 devices simultaneously, via Bluetooth or USB.
The price
Logitech POP Wireless Mechanical Keyboard: 499 NIS
Logitech POP wireless mouse: 169 NIS
Full warranty for two years
The Bottom Line
The design is cool and definitely upgrades the atmosphere in your home office or gaming room.
But, there are those who would think it was too much.
The customization of the mouse and keyboard really adds to the young and refreshing experience, extensive use and connection to the emoji culture (the most spoken language in the world!) Which gives added value here as well.
The price is not cheap.
On the other hand, there are no two devices that we use so widely in our daily lives like a mouse and keyboard (except for the curse of smartphones of course) and you might want to consider investing in something that brings both a design line, but both comfort and customization.
The weight of the keyboard is considerable, if you mean it will sit on your knees, give up a mechanical keyboard and go for something standard.
