Strengths:
Hardware feels great. So called "clicky" keyboard is not loud (quieter than my G710+ it replaced). Seem sturdier than my previous keyboard.
Weaknesses:
Software. Can change settings on reboot.
Additional Comments:
I do think the hardware is great but full disclosure, I have loved Logitech marble mice and keyboards for well over a decade. Be prepared for some software quirks. Yesterday my keyboard lights were off after I set a profile. For some reason it was set to dim/off after booting up. I was able to fix it by pressing the brightness key on the top of the keyboard, not resetting my profile, not reinstalling the software, etc. Hardware great, software has quirks... but learn the quirks and it is good experience.

Strengths:
The build quality is nice.
Weaknesses:
But the lighting is atrocious. I figured with logitech at this price point it would have some functionality to alter the lighting to something an adult wouldn't be embarrassed using but it's absolutely awful. The software is total trash, and the only changes you can make are cycling through ridiculously obnoxious RGB "gamer" disco presets. You can't even select a particular colour! On a rainbow disco ball keyboard!
The only halfway sensible preset setting is a solid bright cyan. Is it really that hard to do a simple white? For this cost? And with the lights set to off, you can't really read the key caps in a not-bright room on top of it. So you're stuck with typing on a gaudy rave slab.
Additional Comments:
Like I said, the build is actually pretty nice (and I'd hope so for this cost!), but I'm actually kinda stunned at how poorly implemented the gimicky lights are. I've bought many logitech keyboards in the past but the lack of functionality here is shocking.

Strengths:
Metal
LED brightness button on the fly
Volume control is a little more responsive
Marco Keys
Weaknesses:
Software
Scroll lock indication has been removed
Secondary function keys are not illuminated
Additional Comments:
If it wasn't for the software, and the secondary keys not being illuminated, this would have been the perfect gaming keyboard.
This was an upgraded from the 910 Orion Spark keyboard. This keyboard as is, would look amazing on any gamers desk.
Works well in Windows 11

Strengths:
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Weaknesses:
I've had the E key, the Right Arrow, and the 9 on the numpad all be susceptible to double pressing. Removing the keycap and placing it back on resolves it to an extent, as does just mashing the key a lot, but this kind of quality control just isn't acceptable at this price point.
Additional Comments:
Good keyboard, and the build quality feels great, but I've had more technical problems that I would expect with a keyboard at this price point.

Strengths:
- Solid design, easy to keep clean
- Low profile
- Can customize key lighting per application
- Volume wheel
Weaknesses:
- Price
Additional Comments:
Having used a few mechanical keyboards in past (K70s with MX Browns/Reds) and a Razer keyboard with the Green switches these Low Profile GL Clicky switches are my favorite by far!
Less key wobble than the Razer or Cherry MX switches, The tactile feedback is similar to an MX Brown and I think they are quieter than the MX Reds.
If you're wanting a switch with nice tactile feedback and don't want to annoy your neighbors at work / home this is a very nice keyboard to have!
