The lightly textured ABS plastic is more prone to wearing down and becoming shiny, smooth, and slippery over time compared to more durable PBT keycaps, and Logitech has also printed the legends onto the keys rather than molding them into the plastic. I’m not talking so much about the rounded shape of the keys-though this does take some getting used to, and even after a few days of typing I still find myself making more errors than I do on a typical keyboard-and more due to the ABS plastic used for the keycaps. Logitech’s keycap choice also leaves something to be desired. But if you were worried about disliking the keyboard because Brown switches don’t have enough of a bump for you, the Pop Keys may disappoint. Now that I’ve been working with it for a few days, I can definitely feel that tactile bump, and it’s doing its job-I don’t need to bottom out the keys to get presses to register. That said, compared to both the Gateron and Cherry MX Brown switches in the other mechanical keyboards I use regularly, the bump in the Pop Keys’ TTC Brown switches is awfully subtle, to the point where I wondered if it actually used linear switches the first time I used it.

But as a starter mechanical keyboard, or as a mechanical alternative for other Logitech Bluetooth keyboards like the budget-minded K380 or the MX Keys Mini, it’s an aesthetically striking option with reliable connectivity and a decent feel. Its keycap quality leaves a bit to be desired, too.
Its high-contrast, high-saturation color palette, rounded typewriter-style keycaps, and dedicated emoji keys will instantly turn off people who just want a keyboard-looking keyboard. The Pop Keys is definitely not for everyone. Which is why I’m glad to see Logitech expanding its mechanical keyboard offerings with the $100 Pop Keys Bluetooth keyboard. That’s doubly true if you’re looking for one from a more established company that can provide US-based technical and warranty support and well-maintained, actually useful software.
#Popkey keyboard pro
For Facebook Messenger and Google Hangouts users who have a love of GIFs, it offers a quick and easy way to get them into their chats – for everyone else it still needs some work.Further Reading Razer Pro Type Ultra wireless keyboard review: A grown-up mechanical clackerĪs we talked about in our review of the Razer Pro Type Ultra, good wireless mechanical keyboards are still hard to come by. PopKey is a fine GIFf keyboard, but still early days. This is not a huge struggle, and tying it to an account rather than your device does mean that your GIF will always be to hand on any device, but security fans may not want to sign in just for a keyboard. The other element is that to make use of PopKey’s more personalized features you have to create an account or login with Facebook.
#Popkey keyboard update
That means that all of you Whatsapp, Telegram, Twitter, and other messaging people will just have to wait for an update if you hope to use PopKey on your app of choice. Firstly, currently it only works with Facebook Messenger and Google Hangouts.
So far, so simple, but it’s far from perfect. True, this is one more stage in the process than is ideal, but its a good start. Selecting the image you want, you can then copy it from the app and paste it into your chat to be enjoyed by the recipient. There is also search function planned for future updates. Creating an account will also let you keep track of your favorite GIF and upload your own. Clicking on any of these opens up its library of GIF for your perusal, with any new ones indicated by a blue dot. It defaults to pages of categories such as LOL, OMG, and other less MEME like options. Recognizing you are on the GIF keyboard is simple thanks to its clean black interface.
