The full-size keyboard round-up: four shiny new 100% layout boards reviewed


Reece tests four full-size mechanical keyboards for Digital Foundry. Which are worth taking home when you need all the keys?

Nonetheless, we've seen a couple of folks throw their hat into the ring since Apple stopped, with arguably the most successful being Logitech, with the MX Mechanical, which is a full-size choice with low-profile switches and all of its useful quality of life features, such as its clever reactive backlighting. The engraved logo is a nice touch.Elsewhere, you get creature comforts such as integrated lock lights and basic media controls and a shortcut key in the top right corner, as well as a pleasantly braided detachable USB-C to USB-A cable for connectivity, but that's about it. The Cherry Utility software that the keyboard comes is Windows-only, though, and provides basic functionality for choosing different patterns for the MX 3.1's RGB lighting, as well as for key remapping and macro programming.
