Designed for everyday users and businesses alike, the full-size keyboard comes with a number pad, scissor-switch keys, and a laptop-style typing experience. Logitech claims the integrated battery can last up to 10 years, and a full charge allows operation in complete darkness for up to four months.

You can also customize shortcut keys and the AI Launch Key via the Logi Options+ App. This ensures you always have instant access to AI tools like Copilot, Gemini, or ChatGPT.

What’s good is that these keyboards are sustainable, too. Logitech says that the Graphite versions are made from 70% post-consumer recycled plastic.
