The Logitech Craft is a good, versatile wireless keyboard. It's ultimately very similar to the Logitech MX Keys, except it has a unique creative input dial on the top of the keyboard that can be programmed to undertake different tasks depending on the software you're using. Typing feels great, due to indentations on each key that should help reduce typos, while the tactile switches are quiet and stable. While there are programmable buttons, they're limited to a list of preset features and unfortunately, you can't set any macros. Ergonomics are only decent, as there are no adjustable incline settings, but the low profile should make for a comfortable typing experience. That said, you can pair it with up to three different devices and switch between them at the press of a button.
Our Verdict
The Logitech Craft is a good keyboard for casual gaming. The ergonomics are decent, despite the lack of any incline settings due to the low profile. The keys have a low amount of pre-travel and they don't need a lot of force to actuate. The creative input dial complements various Office and Adobe software as well. That said, while there is a white backlight, there's no RGB lighting and you can't set any macros.
