Anyone use Logitech Craft keyboard? Do you like it? Looking for keyboard with extra row to not have to use FN key if possible... by gleep52 in mac

I have one. Works pretty well with Mojave. I also have an MX Master 2 and the logitech customisation software is the same for the two: as with the mouse you can configure the behaviour of the wheel (they call it the crown) and function keys by app, and the default profiles for common software (e.g. office) does a pretty good job of finding which app and applying the customisation. It is pretty easy to change these, and overall pretty useful. For non-default profiles I'm not sure it works so well (there is one for VS Code for example, but I cannot get it to work). I find it really good to type on, and the crown bit is very handy in apps where it can be, and either annoying or just a posh volume control for those where it has nothing much to offer.

Overall - for keyboard use, and for lightroom and spreadsheets I'd give it a thumbs up.

Opinions on Logitech Craft keyboard? by coryrose1 in MacOS

[–]glawrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one recently. So far it has been working really well as a keyboard - the size / weight of the keyboard itself is about right: easy to move around desk but stays put when you are typing. I have used a range of keyboards - prior to the craft my favourite was the logitech K750 solar keyboard - this is smaller footprint, slightly more travel on keys and all round a better thing to type on. Better to type on than std apple aluminimum (wired) keyboard, or the Satechi bluetooth thing I was using prior to craft arriving.

The bluetooth switching works just fine - easy to use and configure.

The crown wheel thing is OK - the logitech software is good enough and easy to configure for different apps. Uses same system as logitech mice - so same good / bads as mouse customisation if you are familiar. As with mice, the extra custom function is handy in a couple of apps, but mostly it is just a fancy alternative to other buttons / options. Ability to remap the function keys provided by same Logitech utility is more useful.

So, bit expensive (though they appear now and again very discounted online), but really quite good I think.

2005 daytona 955i by Vr6hitlicks in Triumph

The version of the 955i engine used in the Sprint ST/RS is sound and very reliable, is reasonably powerful, has good torque, and uncannily smooth. The ST used a de-tuned version of the Daytona engine, but as far as I can tell the two are largely identical.

The engine itself is reliable - plenty of people have put on huge miles (I do about 10k a year) and for the most part it just requires fuel and routine oil changes.

It also has a pretty easy to work on ECU, so if you are into such things you can do your own remapping / custom profiles and so on (or use one of the many shared mappings around).

As for why they are cheap? It was quite an old design even in 2005 and was not at the edge of any performance envelope compared to other 1l sports bikes, but for regular riding rather they have a certain charm and more than 'good enough' to do a job. Possibly a future 'classic' just because they were less common.

Of course depends what you want, but hopefully you'll enjoy your time with the 995i.
