Logitech K780, and old friend with a pretty good and quiet typing experience

[VitoBotta]

In another thread I started recently I was praising the Lofree Flow, a mechanical keyboard that I purchased a few weeks ago as I was curious to try modern mechanical keyboards in general, and this one was a winner in many reviews when it comes to the typing experience.

Unfortunately for me my wife wasn't too happy with this keyboard because it being mechanical means it's quite noisy (tried both linear and tactile switches and there wasn't much difference in the noise), and my office/work space is 1/3 of a big room we also use as our bedroom, so when I work at night (and it happens often), and she is sleeping, it's a problem for her.

So I was back to using the Apple Magic Keyboard 1st gen I was using before but then I remembered that I still had the Logitech K780 I used back in 2016-17 with Linux PC while I was having a sort of break from Apple devices to save money (didn't last long).

I didn't remember much about this keyboard as I hadn't used it that much at the time so I tried it now and wow. It's actually still pretty good! It's noticeably quieter than the Magic Keyboard (again, 1st gen) so my wife is happier, and the typing experience coming from the Magic Keyboard and around a month testing some mechanical keyboards (including the Keychron K3 Pro and the Logitech MX Mechanical besides the Lofree) is suprisingly nice!

I feel stupid for only checking out this keyboard again after so many years. I see that this keyboard is still for sale on various online stores so I guess it's still doing well commercially.

Does anyone else here own this keyboard? If not, what do you use daily?

I forgot to mention that with this keyboard I make fewer typos than with other keyboards (including the Magic Keyboard which I have used for a long time). I suspect it's because the keys are round, so there are no corners you can hit accidentally while reaching for what you want to type. I think I may start using this keyboard from now on with my MacBook Pro M3 Pro. I can also use it with another 2 devices with the easy switch feature. The only little problem I have with this keyboard is that the backspace button is a bit weird, so it doesn't register always, depending on how/where I hit it. I guess it's because it's an old keyboard anyway.
