![]() ![]() Beyond that, the Pop Mouse is a generic Bluetooth mouse with some fancy colours. That said, it would work fine for both right- and left-handed people, and it even has a remappable third button below the scroll wheel (Logitech says it’s for emoji, but I can think of several other functions that would be better). It’s not very ergonomic, which made it an instant write-off for me. Matching aesthetic aside, there’s not much going for the mouse. Alternatively, you can bind the emoji keys to other functions if you don’t want the emoji, but if you’re doing that, why spring for the fancy emoji keyboard at all?Īlong with the Pop Keys, Logitech has a matching Pop Mouse. However, if you want the key function to match the keycap, your options are limited to the eight provided keycaps. You can customize which emoji show up when you press these keys using the Logitech Options software and even have different emoji sets for different apps. The four default emoji are □□□□ and the board comes with four extra keycaps for □❤️□ and □. ![]() Of the five keys, the emoji picker was far more helpful since I can never remember the Windows keyboard shortcut for summoning the emoji picker (its Windows+Period for those who don’t know). The Pop Keys gives you four emoji keys and a fifth to bring up Windows’ emoji picker. For example, I’d love a dedicated Print Screen button for capturing screenshots. The Pop Keys board has one position, like or not (I liked it, for what it’s worth, but many likely won’t).Īs for the dedicated emoji keys, they’re nice to have, but I can’t help but feel like there are more useful options. One other frustration is the lack of adjustable height options. The keyboard itself almost looks like the switches can be removed, but I don’t think they are (and I didn’t try out of fear of breaking something). Unfortunately, Logitech doesn’t offer an option on its site to customize the switches if you don’t want the browns that come with the Pop Keys board. While my wife likely doesn’t miss the relentless clacking coming from my home office, I do. The keys aren’t nearly as loud as the Cherry MX Blue switches in my Durgod board. ![]() ![]() Regardless, I like the feel, but if you’re a fan of more tactile switches, these might not be for you. I haven’t heard of them, but after some quick Googling, I learned that the switches are similar to Cherry MX switches, ranging from “mediocre” versions of Cherry counterparts to “slightly better,” depending on who you ask. Looking closely at the switches themselves on the keyboard, they appear to be ‘TTC’ switches. Speaking of typing, the Pop Keys use a ‘brown’ mechanical switch, according to Logitech’s website. What good is a keyboard if you can’t type on it? If you’re comfortable venturing out to a store like Staples, it might be worth going and trying the keyboard out on the store display before committing to a purchase. That said, it’s something to keep in mind for any dedicated typists out there. Maybe that’s a product of muscle memory - I do spend the vast majority of my day plunking away at my keyboard, so it’s entirely possible that the sudden shift from square to rectangle keys is too much for my brain. As much as I like the look of these keycaps, I find them more difficult to type on. Let’s start with the elephant in the room: the circular keys. ![]()
