Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I bought the Craft keyboard and vertical mouse through Dell (I had a Dell eGift credit that was due to expire) and was going to post reviews on Logitech's site but apparently they don't allow for that, so here I am.I didn't 'need' a new keyboard a mouse, but since i had $200 bucks in eGift credit and have been a loyal Logitech consumer for years (was using their Wireless Illuminated keyboard and MX2 mouse) I figured, why not? #TreatYourselfFirst, the keyboard is beautifully made. It has perfect weight to it, feels heavy and solid, the keys are soft and easy to type on with minimal user noise, and the back-lighting is probably the best I've seen on a keyboard. The 'wheel' in the top left is great for easy volume control and since I'm a standard PC user, not a graphics artist, I'd only use it for that.The one thing I hate about it, and is the reason I returned it, is it lays flat. Almost all keyboards give you the option to raise them on the back two legs, with good ones giving you two height options. I'm a user who always has it raised to the highest level because that's how I type, but this keyboard has no raise options at all, so it's a 'one size fits all' which makes no sense. I use a wrist support pad when working and now the keyboard is too low and I have to reach out for it in order to type this review. Not ideal at all especially as this price point.The vertical mouse is nice but light as a feather. For some this might be great but for me, I like a little weight to feel like I'm actually using the piece of tech vs pushing a marshmallow around. Other than the new design it doesn't feel any noticeably better to use in my hand, so this was returned to.All in all for at retail of $199 for the keyboard and another $99 for the mouse I expected a lot more from Logitech and am disappointed in both products. Many others will probably love them, or hate them, or fall somewhere in the middle but at $300 bucks for tech you can get for under $50 (keyboard and mouse) and from a company and brand as established as Logitech you should love them at first use.
