I really like the Logitech Romer-G mechanical switches and it's nice to see them extending the product line beyond gaming devices and into the business/consumer markets. If you have fond memories of typing on big heavy duty computer and typewriter keyboards in the past you will like something like this. The keyboard is solid (while not all that heavy) with keys that have a wonderful amount of tactile feedback along with a springy click too (but not too springy).

It's a very comfortable typing surface in a minimalist design. The keys have deep travel (meaning they can be pushed down far) and respond well for touch typers like myself.

The only reason why I'm knocking a star off is because it is less feature-rich vs. their Logitech G413 gaming keyboard that costs $10 more and also offers the Romer-G keys. The G413 keyboard is backlit (this one is not), has a USB pass through port for mice, and offers a more extensive macro functionality through its software vs. the very limited amount you'll get with the K840.

Built quality is nice and I like the minimalist design. It's very easy to remove the keys for cleaning and they reattach just as easily. The top is metal which provides a nice rigid type surface but the bottom is plastic making this not a very heavy keyboard to move around on the desk or between PCs.

It connects with a USB cable to just about any device that supports USB keyboards (including PCs, Macs, and Android devices).
