Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard review: Is it worth spending so much money on this keyboard?

Logitech has been a household name in India and abroad for decades now. They have made home in some form or the other in almost all the houses. Whether it is a keyboard or a mouse you want to buy, you will definitely look at options from Logitech. Recently, the company launched the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboards in India in full-size (with NUM pad) and mini options. We got our hands on the full-size version of the keyboard for review. This is our Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard review and is it worth your shiny penny.

Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard review: Design

As always let’s first start with the design of the device. The Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard is a superbly well-built keyboard that exudes brilliance. Premium-ness is written all over it and it looks very futuristic. Since it is a full-size keyboard, it has the full function NUM pad also on it. Read also: Logitech MX Mechanical, MX Mechanical Mini Keyboards and Mouse launched Dressed in shades of grey and silver, Logitech has used 40% recycled plastic and low carbon aluminium, based on the carbon-neutral policy they have. Talking a little bit more about it, the packaging that Logitech has used is also made of recyclable materials. There is hardly any plastic used in the packaging and you will find cardboard or paper used to package and ship the device. This is great for eco-sustainability and they also provide distributor service, in case you want to recycle your old devices. power-and-usb-charging Coming back to its looks, users get a USB Type-C charging port on the top right part of the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard. All the multimedia keys and more can be found on the top of the keyboard that double up as the function keys. These include search, calculator, media playback and volume buttons, a special emoji button and our favourite the computer lock button, which is located on the top right corner of the NUM pad is also there. multimedia-keys The keys can be pulled out and set apart, which makes up for easy cleaning. The Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard is also 7-level backlit with 5 illumination modes, which include breathing and random key illumination as well. In case you are wondering is it an RGB backlit keyboard? Then no, this has a single white colour lighting. The best part is, as soon as you bring your hand close to the keyboard the lights turn on their own. Logitech-MX-Mechanical-num-pad Lastly, you will see the Logi branding on the top of the keyboard on a nicely laid black bar with a low battery light indicator to its right. Yes, the ergonomics have been kept in mind and the user gets twin pull-out feet underneath it, which raise the keyboard a few millimetres for a better ergonomic feel.

Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard review: Performance

Let’s talk about the performance of the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard now. We have written this review on the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard and were very happy with it. The keys on this keyboard are super smooth and are a treat to work with. When you switch keyboards, there is a subconscious learning curve of a device. But it did not happen to us, as soon as we laid our palms and fingers on this keyboard, we felt right at home. Logitech-MX-Mechanical-wireless-keyboard-backlit The Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard is a mechanical keyboard as the name suggests. However, there is not a lot of travel space between the key presses. That is a good thing as the tactile feel is very good and with leaner, flatter keys you end up typing much faster. multi-device-support Another bright point of the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard is its multi-device support. Users can connect it to up to 3 devices at the same time and switch between them in real-time by pressing the 1, 2 or 3 keys placed above the home and page up keys. As per the company, you can switch between Windows and MAC as well. Though we could not try this, between Windows to Windows it worked fine. The keyboard can be connected to any device using the supplied USB dongle or Bluetooth. A power button is also given next to the USB charging port to turn off the device completely. As for the battery, the company suggests that the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard can stay alive for 15 days after full charge (backlighting turned on), or up to 10 months when the backlight is turned off. We have been using it for the last 8-9 days with the backlight at 50% and it is working well without the need for a recharge. Read Also: Logitech MX Anywhere 3 review: For the professional in you To stress-test it further, we did play a few games with it like DOTA 2 and CS: Go. To our amazement, it performed rather well. Almost as good as full-time gaming keyboards by the company. Overall, we were very satisfied with this luggable keyboard.

Verdict

Overall, the keyboard is very robust with aluminium added to the show. We were able to type with extreme ease with the Logitech MX Mechanical wireless keyboard and interestingly there was less fatigue. The keyboard registers the lightest touch and the not-too-loud mechanical sound is just right. This keyboard is aimed at creators, makers etc. So, at Rs 19,999 is it worth buying? That is a firm yes. With its multi-device support, ergonomics, and beautiful looks, you will not feel that you overpaid. If you can afford it, buy it.

iQoo Z6 Pro 5G review: A lot of hits and few misses, right buy at this price?

iQoo Z6 Pro 5G was recently launched in India at a starting price of Rs 23,999 and it looks good on paper with the kind of specifications it boasts of. We put it to use for a few days to see its pros and cons and here’s our iQoo Z6 Pro 5G review detailing them.

iQoo Z6 Pro 5G review: Design and Display

As far as the design of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G goes, we have a bag of mixed feelings. The back panel and the frame of the smartphone are made from polycarbonate – which is not entirely a bad thing, but the real problem is that the look and feel of the device isn’t premium. We have seen better at this price point from the company. The matte finish means that the handset doesn’t get smudged easily, but then, it’s not enough to keep dust off the phone. The rear panel houses the camera module of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G, which comes with three lenses. Besides this, there is only an iQoo branding on the back. The power and volume rocker keys are sandwiched on the right while the top and bottom house the speaker grill, Type-C port, SIM tray, microphone and secondary microphone. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G 2 Flip over and you will see the 6.44-inch display of the device that comes with a waterdrop notch on the top to house the selfie camera. It is outlined by thin bezels but the chin is obviously relatively bigger in size. There is also an in-display fingerprint scanner. Speaking in more detail about the iQoo Z6 Pro 5G display, it is an FHD+ AMOLED HDR 10+ screen which comes with a peak brightness of 1,300 nits and a 90Hz refresh rate. The colours projected on the screen were vibrant and accurate and they remained consistent at different viewing angles. The text and images appeared sharp and clear and the sunlight readability could be better. Watching videos and playing games on the device was overall a good experience. To sum it up, we would say that while the design of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G could have been better, the display makes up for it and can be counted among its pros.

iQoo Z6 Pro 5G review: Performance and Cameras

Before we speak about the performance of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G, let’s take a minute to talk about its specifications. The handset is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor clubbed with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. It houses a 4,700mAh battery that comes with support for 66W fast charging. The device runs Android 12 skinned with Funtouch OS 12. While the custom software means that there are some interesting gestures on the device, it also gets some bloatware along and not all of the pre-installed apps can be uninstalled. You might also get an annoying number of notifications on the device, but luckily, most of them can be disabled. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G 3 Coming to the performance of the smartphone, iQoo Z6 Pro 5G did impress us, especially for its price. We threw a variety of tasks at the device, and most of them were handled well. Even when we tried to multitask and used navigation while watching videos on YouTube (no, it wasn’t us who was driving!) the handset could take it. Gaming on the device was another plus. Even when we tried playing heavy games like Asphalt 9: Legends, they ran smoothly. Credit for this can also be given to the display’s 180Hz touch sampling rate. You can also enable the ‘Monster’ gaming mode on the device to get an enhanced gaming performance. The phone did warm up a bit while gaming, but it wasn’t enough to label it as a ‘heating issue’. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G 4 The battery of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G was another definite plus and the phone lasts a day and a half with usage involving gaming, watching videos and clicking pictures. The in-display fingerprint scanner worked well at all times while we had the phone with us. Finally, let’s talk about the cameras of iQoo Z6 Pro 5G. The handset comes with a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, there is a 16MP lens on the front panel. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G image sample Pictures taken with the primary camera during the day had a good number of details and the colours appeared vibrant. But the images lacked a certain clarity and sharpness that one expects from a phone at this price. The Portrait Camera of the phone could also be better. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G image sample 2 When we tried using the ultra-wide camera, it did manage to get in a lot more space, the details in the picture went down too and we noticed some distortion. Even the colours of the images taken were affected, which is not the best thing to happen. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G image sample 3 The macro camera could also only do an average job. We weren’t too elated about the results of the selfie camera either. They could have been a lot better and more consistent and the colours could be more accurate too. The low-light photography of the device was definitely not among its pros. At best, we can call the shots taken as average and we highly recommend enabling the Night Mode to get better low-lit shots.

Verdict

At the given price, iQoo Z6 Pro 5G left us with a bag of mixed feelings. While the display, performance and battery are its pros, the cameras and the design could be much better. The device also misses a few features like stereo speakers. The phone doesn’t tick all the boxes but if its pros are important to you while the cons don’t matter that much, you may be happy with it. However, there are quite a few options available in this price range that offer all that the iQoo Z6 Pro 5G does along with a much better camera performance – an aspect that’s important to most people in today’s age when sharing on Instagram is the new normal. iQoo Z6 Pro 5G Pros
  • Smooth performance
  • Lasting battery
  • Vibrant display
iQoo Z6 Pro 5G Cons
  • Average design
  • Inconsistent cameras

Overheating can cause your phone to suspend several important tasks. This may range from the LED flash not working to the camera app crashing altogether. Crashes due to internal temperature are more common when you’re using your phone under direct sunlight, which results in the device warming up. The best thing to do in this scenario is to put your phone down and wait until its temperature drops down to the optimum level.

Check your phone’s storage

Check your phone's storage If the camera app on your phone crashes as soon as you take a picture, it is likely because your device is running out of storage.

Go to Settings>Storage and clear some large files on your device to make space.

Use a third-party app

iQoo 9 Review: Is this an excellent gaming smartphone for the money?

0
Hey readers, here is another review from us. This time, we have the iQoo 9, a brand-new gaming smartphone that was recently introduced in India. In the semi-flagship and premium mid-range segments, it competes with devices like the Oneplus 9RT and the Xiaomi 11T Pro. So, let’s get into it, this is our review of the new iQoo 9 smartphone.

iQoo 9 review: Design and Display

Consequently, we were able to obtain the iQoo 9 Motorsports edition, which features a relationship with BMW. We have the Legend model, which is adorned with a tricolour stripe that is intended to evoke the sensation of a racetrack or something similar. In addition, the iQoo 9 is also offered in a black alpha colour variant with a textured pattern. iQoo 9 review: Design and Display Having a premium glass laminated shell and metal framing, this phone exudes class. It has an IMT matte back throughout, and its soft-matte surface feels wonderful in the palm. The BMW tri-coloured stripe also adds a distinctive aesthetic flair and an iQoo branding. Additionally, the sides of the phone are curved for a more comfortable grip. Due to its evenly distributed weight, the device, even though it’s heavy,  doesn’t actually feel that hefty. We believe that for seamless ergonomics, the frames should have remained somewhat smooth on both sides. iQoo 9 review in India On the right side of the frame, all the buttons are conveniently located and offer excellent tactile feedback. Additionally, to add some extra character, the power button has a recognisable blue hue and a textured finish. Certification for an IP address is the only thing iQoo 9 is missing. But the SIM tray is shielded from moisture accumulation by a rubber gasket. The iQoo 9 boasts a stunning display in addition to a gorgeous design. With a refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 300Hz, it sports a 6.56-inch full-HD+ 10-bit AMOLED display. The peak brightness is 1200 nits. All of this results in brilliant colours that maintain high contrast levels. The screen has an exceptional natural white balance, which produces natural colours and prevents colour shifts when viewed from the sides.  iQoo 9 review: Design and Display Under the worst circumstances, the screen becomes more than bright enough to remain visible. One can binge-watch OTT video with Widevine L1 certification and HDR playback capability. The phone can be unlocked quickly with the in-display fingerprint sensor, and you receive light haptic feedback while doing so. While the stereo speakers produce great music quality and can be rather loud. Although a more evenly distributed output from the top and bottom speaker units would have been preferable. You are looking at one of the best displays for the money when you factor in the 120Hz refresh rate. Although the lack of an LTPO 2.0 panel means that this screen can only switch between 60Hz and 120Hz, we feel that iQoo is being overly rigid with the adaptive refresh rate here. However, this is not the problem. Some of the most popular apps with the Smart Switch default to turning on the phone at 60Hz.

iQoo 9 Review: Performance and Camera

Let’s now discuss the performance aspect of the smartphone. The iQoo 9 has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ SoC, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage capacity. iQoo boasts a sizable Vapor Chamber liquid cooling system for gaming, however even with that, the phone quickly becomes significantly warm and becomes uncomfortably hot when playing for extended periods of time.  We have been using this phone as our primary phone and it seems high-end, quick, and fast. Gaming is also enjoyable on this phone. In the few sessions we played, BGMI has excellent gameplay, maximum graphics, ultra HD, and ultra frame rates. Other than that, the gadget has a few other gameplay gimmicks in store. A pressure-sensitive button included in the iQoo 9’s display can be designated as a control in certain games. For an immersive gaming experience, there is also a dual X-axis linear motor. review of iQoo 9 We appreciate that the iQoo 9 includes the most recent Android 12 upgrade and will eventually receive Android 14 since the business has promised two significant Android updates and three years’ worth of security updates. FuntouchOS and all of its features are present, without a doubt, but the phone also comes with a lot of bloatware that is simple to remove. Aside from this, the UI and UX experience is generally good. The triple-back camera array has a 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 primary sensor and “Gimbal” technology. A 13-megapixel wide-angle or macro sensor and a 13-megapixel portrait sensor are also included. A 16-megapixel selfie camera sensor with an f/2.45 lens is also included for taking selfies and making video calls. iQoo 9 Review: Performance and Camera iQoo 9 Review: Performance and Camera In daytime images, iQoo 9 enhances the white levels, yet the colours look realistic and have a lot of detail. The same is true of ultrawide shots, which effectively capture highlights and shadows but lack fine detail. On the iQoo 9, portrait photos appear sharper and have better contrast and black levels. The phone’s Gimbal OIS feature technology ensured that photographs remained clear and brilliant at all times. Selfies also express a similar tale and look great doing it. The skin tone seems to be normal.
Portrait Image
iQoo 9 Review: Performance and Camera We also enjoyed the iQoo 9’s regular nighttime photographs because it is able to allow in more light, which results in a decent dynamic range at the expense of a little less contrast. iQoo 9 Review: Performance and Camera iQoo 9 review in India In terms of videography, the iQoo 9 is capable of shooting at up to 4K@60fps. In our limited time with the device so far, we haven’t had a chance to shoot many videos, but the sample footage shows that it has good video stabilisation. However, in resolutions like 4K@30fps and 1080p@60fps, it drastically crops the frame. It is frustrating that the front camera can only record videos in 1080p and does not support 4K at this price point. With regards to the battery life, the iQoo 9 sports a 4,350mAh battery that includes a 120W fast charge. The charging speed is quite quick; it charges the phone from zero to fifty percent in around five minutes and from zero to full in twenty.

Verdict

Considering the device’s specifications and characteristics, we can conclude that it directly competes with the OnePlus 9RT. Its specs complement the 9RT perfectly. Therefore, it is a mid-range phone that is fairly fascinating and aimed at both mobile gamers and photography fans.  The variant launched in China is completely different from the one in India. So, as opposed to the Snapdragon 888+ in the Indian edition, the Chinese iQoo 9 has the most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. In addition, both phones have different screens, cameras, and designs, among other things. The fact that it ships with Android 12 out of the box and can be upgraded to Android 14 and that the manufacturer has included a 120W fast charger inside the box helps it create a positive impression on us overall. If you are looking for a good gaming smartphone in the mid-segment you can definitely take a look at this one.  iQoo 9 Pros Beautiful display with 120Hz refresh rate support good video stabilization IP52 rating great for gaming Fast charging iQoo 9 Cons Heats up really fast Weak audio quality For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Users Can Co-Author a Single Tweet using the Twitter CoTweets Feature, Currently in Testing

CoTweets, a brand-new way to Tweet collectively, is a feature that Twitter is currently testing. Through this function, two accounts will be able to co-author tweets on the microblogging platform. This will also include the co-authors’ handles and profile pictures. The social media site is testing out a new function called CoTweets that enables two users to write a tweet jointly. CoTweet can be identified when users see a header containing two authors’ usernames and profile images. According to the company, eligible Twitter users can now send invitations to CoTweet with another user. Eligible Twitter users can draft a CoTweet in the interim by going to the Tweet composer. Following that, they must tap the CoTweet symbol after adding the jointly written message. From their list of followers, they must then choose a co-author and invite them. Before sending an invitation, users can only make changes to a co-authored tweet. The business advises users to delete their previous tweets and start again if they need to change them after sending an invitation. The business says that this feature is currently only accessible for a small number of carefully chosen accounts in the United States, Canada, and Korea and is still in the testing phase. The network’s long-form content publishing tool, Twitter Notes, was also made available to users last month. It allows users to build on their ideas and express in-depth thoughts on the website. Currently, a small group of writers are taking part in a test of Twitter’s Notes feature. Similar to how you can retweet or quote a tweet, you can share lengthy information with your followers by using notes. The best part is that since you can write and publish your notes without ever leaving Twitter, viewers won’t be sent to a new network when they open them. Clicking on the card is necessary to read the Note. As we previously mentioned, only a small number of Twitter users have access to this function, so if Twitter Notes is currently being tested in your area, you may be able to view a writer’s Notes by clicking the Notes icon on their Twitter profile on the online platform.

What’s the Easiest Way to Learn Poker?

Worldwide, poker is one of the most popular card games. Since the 1960s, the rise of televised poker has helped to globalize the game. Since the early 2000s, the rise of online poker has made it accessible to people around the world. Today, the Twitch streaming platform also includes poker hosts who play live for subscribers. Still, just because most people are at least aware of what poker is, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to play. In fact, poker is a deceptively complex game. In addition to memorizing hand rankings and rule variations for each type of poker, players must also learn strategies, the basics of mathematical probabilities, and how to contend with unknown variables like bluffing. Those looking to learn the basics should first select an online platform, as it’s a more convenient method than in-person tables. For example, those who play PokerStars online have access to large tournaments, a range of poker variations, and plenty of loyalty rewards. But, most importantly for newcomers, they also have access to a poker school for beginners. Keep a lookout for similar guides, as they’re the first step to learning poker the easy way.

Beginner Guides

The easiest way to learn poker is to take your time with a mindful and incremental approach. Keep a guide with you as you play your first games. Don’t be afraid to stick to beginner tables, as the game unfolds at a slower pace. Some players also take notes during this time, marking down what works and doesn’t work for them. Keep in mind that there’s no simple way to learn the basics— even seasoned pros like Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey confirm that the best method for learning is experience. Once again, keep a look out for free games. By sticking to free games, you won’t have to worry about managing bankroll right away.

Memorizing Hand Rankings

One of the toughest parts of learning poker is understanding hand rankings. Learning the top rankings like a royal flush and a straight flush is just the beginning of prepping for the showdown. As mentioned above, top poker platforms offer multiple versions of poker—and hand rankings shift slightly with each. To make learning poker easier, stick to one type of game, whether Texas Hold’em or Omaha. Learn the ins and outs of one style of poker before moving on to the next. And consider listening to a poker podcast, especially to glean more about hand rankings. Thinking Poker podcast, for example, often reviews poker hands to help break-down strategies in certain situations.

Study the Pros

Once you’ve nailed down the rules of your preferred poker variation and have memorized the basics of hand rankings, along with a few extra tactical tips, the easiest way to learn poker is to follow a pro—especially those who closely mirror your preferred playing style. Each poker legend has their own unique approach to the game; Negreanu is analytical and conservative, while Ivey is focused on minimizing risk-taking. On the other hand, a pro like Phil Hellmuth relies on a more rigid tight-aggressive approach—which he also advocates for beginner Texas Hold’em players.
