Replacement Usb Receiver For Wireless Keyboard

[1x Lightning] This was a replacement for an off brand wireless keyboard. This works so much better and has been reliable and comfortable!

[5 Months] My job has me working from home, and in 6 different offices, some days I can't guarantee which location I'll be the following day. I finally was fed up with just dealing with whatever dusty, used mouse & keyboard might be available in whatever office I was in and bit the bullet to get a good set I could take with me anywhere for consistency. (I did buy a separate rigid clamshell case for the keyboard & mouse to keep from damaging them in my backpack) I've enjoyed using mechanical keyboards for years, from an IBM mechanical keyboard in the late 80s-90s, and a few with Cherry MX Blue switches for my PC since 2010. I hate standard laptop keys and membrane keyboards. The MX Mechanical is a joy to type on and the shortcut keys are a welcome addition (dedicated calculator app button especially). The MX Master 3S is extremely comfortable to use, and the horizontal scroll wheel is convenient since I'm in excel & Google spreadsheets for most of the day. The fact that these are both wireless and share the same USB receiver has made my setup/packup less stressful, no longer fumbling with wires and multiple usb plugs. The USB receiver stays in my laptop and I just flick the on/off switch for the Keyboard and Mouse at the start/end of my work day.

I bought mine from Bestbuy, albeit price-matching I had to pay extra for in-store tax purchase. Two factors I love about this keyboard:  Unifying Receiver and Illuminated keys. Since the new 2018 MacBook Pro build in keyboard, or even the Apple Keyboards, does not illuminated on startup having this Logitech Craft is a blessing. I work a lot in dark places and mostly off site. The USB C charging is another plus for a traveler like me as most my peripherals are usb c already. They keys are premium and the body has a solid build. The heavy weight can be discouraging but it makes it much more stable.  The keyboard is very smooth and the travel on these keys are just right. Not too shallow and not too gamer mechanical. Very polished and disciplined. The unifying receiver plus a 3x option Bluetooth profile is very convenient. I have a single monitor with the usb receiver plugged into it and it makes switching from PC to MAC to MAC to PC to PC etc much more efficient with out installing/paring bluetooth profiles. The wheel takes time getting used to but it is a game changer from Softwares I already use on a daily basis.

[7 lb (3.2 kg)] An inexpensive wireless mic. UHF (mine was 729 MHz.) Comes with USB receiver. Plug into a USB (with power) and then run the mic cable from USB adapter to your audio mic input. Has both 1/4 & 1/8 plugs/wires.

[Ambidextrous] I got this to use as a back up, but I like so much I use it all the time. It has a small usb wireless receiver so pairing is automatic. However it can create interference for other wireless (bluetooth) devices, so I put the receiver on an extension cable and that solves the problem.

[Uncompressed] I would like it if they could sell just the receiver so I could have two wireless signals.

[Membrane] I've used this for just 2 weeks, but it's the perfect replacement for my Apple wireless keyboard. It's virtually identical except it lies flatter on my desk since it obviously doesn't have the battery compartment (they did include optional sticky rubber pads to tilt the keyboard forward). I replaced my old wireless keyboard since I bought the new 2020 M1 Mac Mini and immediately had the bluetooth issues others have complained about. Weirdly enough, I could solve my keyboard issue by turning my Apple mouse off and on, but it got annoying. Right now, this wired keyboard is perfect, buttons all work as they should, choices of backlighting or not, controls sound levels as well as all the other functions I'm accustomed to using. Plus, no cost of feeding AA batteries to the wireless. Time will tell, but right now, I am satisfied, even if Apple finally does resolve their bluetooth issue.

[Mac] This keyboard was the replacement I was hoping for.
