AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the comfort of the keyboard mouse set. They mention that the wrist pad is comfortable, the key travel is medium/low, and the feel of the keys is good.

Customers are mixed about the keyboard size. Some mention that the keyboard is really great, they love the ergonomics of the keys and wrist pad, and the feel of the buttons. The split makes it feel more natural to type, and they have good feedback. Others say that the keys are not for the best typing experience, they are sticky, and it's a challenge on the non-alphanumeric keys. The logoff key is the most problematic issue, and switching between Function keys and Media keys is difficult. Some of the keyboard keys are starting to lose their texture from all the friction.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I found the Microsoft context-sensitive menu pop-up key -- equivalent to the right mouse button -- of the MS EP4000. See picture. I don't love this location. But at least it exists. I'm moderately used to it's weird inaccessible placement. But I do have to always look to find it, instead of knowing it's location by muscle memory, like most keys. I probably should put one of those raised gummy circles (like on my delete key and fn key here in the pic) on it.
Also, I like this keyboard now so much that I bought one for the office too. It's outside office standards, so I paid for it myself. (This really helps avoid the constant disorientation of working on two different keyboard between home and work.)
UPDATE (7 Apr 2021, a few months into ownership).
The problems I wrote about below, seem to have miraculously evaporated. I have no idea why. Now this keyboard only spams the volume-up (or down) signal to my PC maybe once a month. And I’ve found that just taking the USB fob out for a second, and cycling the power button on the keyboard clears that every time, and takes maybe 5 second. For something that happens maybe once a month, I can live with it. It is otherwise a very comfortable, fast, easy, quiet keyboard. I’ve even become accustomed to toggling between F-keys and media keys. All in all, this is my new favorite keyboard.
ORIGINAL REVIEW
This seems the best option for users who loved their Microsoft Ergonomic Pro 4000. Same split layout, and the other keys are more nearly where muscle memory expects them to be (INS, Home, pg up, DEL, end, pg down). And the key action is awesome: actually way faster than the MS EP4000. ... BUT:
WARNING #1:
Around 1-4 times a week, the communication between my PC and this keyboard locks in some weird setting, like increasing the volume. I can unintentionally get max volume this way in <1 second, with zero forewarning. Happens when I haven't even touched the associated media key.
At that time, no other inputs are possible, since the keyboard is busy spamming that one keystroke to the PC. The only solution is (after ripping my headphones off) to remove the USB fob from my PC, wait a minute, plug it back, and hope for the best.
Usually that works. But sometimes it's just more of the same, and I have to manually restart my PC. At least that (a reset) always fixes it. But it's a terrible interruption to workflow. You can lose important work that way!
This happens on both my self-built PC (keyboard drivers installed), and on my HP laptop (keyboard drivers not installed). So, it's not a problem with my PC. It's not a mechanical sticking (no key is physically wedged): it's a logical sticking.
To be clear, it's not just "volume up" that gets locked active. Other keys too. Volume down. And toggles between apps. And stuff I can't really explain/describe: I just see a lot of fibrillation on my monitor, as the various apps go nuts - so far without editing content, but long term who knows?
I should RMA this keyboard, but the key action is so damn fluid - I type a lot faster on it - that I'm dragging my feet on the RMA. That, and it's otherwise the prefect replacement for my beloved Microsoft Ergonmic Pro 4000.
WARNING #2:
I HATE that I have to toggle between the F-keys between F-functions and media key functions. I am not used to that. My old keyboard -- like many who buy this, I bet -- was a Microsoft Ergonmonic Pro 4000 (before Microsoft ruined that line with their terrible 7000 update). It had physically distinct media keys vs. F-keys. So I'm used to adjusting sound volume instinctively, without thinking about it, and ditto hitting F2 to edit a cell entry (e.g., in Excel), or hit F11 to enlarge my browser (to remove navigation bar shrubbery). But on this Little Compromise of a keyboard, I have to constantly recover from hitting an F-key/media with the toggle set to the wrong usage. Aarg!
I am slowly learning to press the F/media key toggle, while watching my monitor for the brief flash that tells which mode it's in, then deciding whether to repress the F/media key toggle again, before trying to get either an F-key or a media key to perform some function. I'm Not loving that!
I would REALLY prefer a keyboard set-up like the MS Ergonomic Pro 4000, but that is probably tied up in a patent, that MS won't release or reasonably license, but neither will they manufacture them anymore. Oh, you may still find one on eBay, used, for $300. Ugh.
WARNING #3:
The Microsoft context-sensitive menu pop-up key -- equivalent to the right mouse button -- of the MS EP4000, is missing. Replaced by a second key: "opt/ctrl". You'd think the driver software would let you program this key to do different things. I have not found how to make it act like the awesome key that it replaced (the Microsoft context-sensitive pop-up menu key). I'm still mourning the loss of that little key of wonder. Slows me way down to have to take hands off keyboard to fiddle around to right-mouse click every time.

I have not found how to make it act like the awesome key that it replaced (the Microsoft context-sensitive pop-up menu key). I'm still mourning the loss of that little key of wonder. Slows me way down to have to take hands off keyboard to fiddle around to right-mouse click every time.
One concern from the beginning was that the keyboard itself only has support legs at the bottom that allows you to tilt the keyboard so the palm rest is in a raised position (two positions are available). Unfortunately, for people that don't stand at their desk or taller people that work in a seated position, the opposite (function key side side raised) might be preferred. To that end, I searched online for possible solutions. In the end, I picked up two of these fancy 2" speaker isolation pads (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RNB7BYP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) and stuck them under the front of the keyboard in just such a way to get the perfect tilt-back without any wobble. Works great! The bottom line is you can't go wrong with this excellent keyboard from Logitech. Way to innovate, Logitech!

I love being able to switch between devices, very handy - although the logi flow software could use some work. I find it doesn't like to keep the communication going between Macs and PCs. Hopefully that gets patched.
The material used is lovely and doesn't feel cheap. It is very comfortable to use. I had been a Microsoft Sculpt user prior but I'm sold on the switch. I much prefer this keyboard.
