With regard to keyboards, there is a vertiginous range of options. Even if you have strong preferences for, say, a mechanical keyboard, there are any questions of aesthetics, size and perhaps more importantly, the question quite subjective of feeling on your fingers. The LP85 screws is a discrete Mac style compact keypad that has just entered the clogged and competitive keyboard space. How does it behave in relation to Apple s magic Keyboard, clearly the device that the LP85 would like to replace?
Mac users enjoy elegant aesthetics, and the good news is that the LP85 is a real winner in terms of quality of construction and appearance. Available with black or white touches, matte gray brushed aluminum body is solid and look great, with slightly rounded corners and high stability on the desktop. There are two thin silicone bands to prevent the keypad from slipping but no options for adjusting the angle or height. While the Apple Magic Keyboard keypad descends from 0.43 to 0.16, the Scrooge keyboard has a much softer 2-degree angles. In terms of global size, the LP85 has about the same size as a magic keyboard.
Beyond the appearance, the LP85 screws has low latency optical and mechanical switches under a little higher buttons than the Apple Magic keypad, but thanks to a larger degree of displacement, it also gives a return. Sound satisfactory and clickable. Because it is a compact keyboard of 75% size, each key, except the alphabetic keys, has several functions. While the keyboard has obviously been designed to integrate perfectly into a configuration centered on Apple, the LP85 easily switches into a Windows environment with automatic key reallocation. Another screwed screw size device, the V84 mechanical keyboard includes actual Alternative Alternatives for Windows and macOS. I used the LP85 as a daily steering keyboard for several days and found it comfortable and enjoyable to use, even if any small keyboard requires a period of adaptation to different spacing. The sensation of the keys under the fingers was excellent, and in wired mode, it was ultra-fast and responsive.

One of the LP85 screw bonus is the RGB backlight under the keys, which can be programmed in 19 dynamic color modes or 8 static color modes, or of course completely off. The backlit keys are a standard feature of most keyboards, of course, but the RGB options add a little fun factor and fun to what is somewhat banal activity. The RGB lights however exhaust the battery and have an impact on the time between the charges. The LP85 can be connected via the non-braided USB-C cable included, or connects via Bluetooth to up to three simultaneous devices, which is always a bonus when switching between multiple computers or game platforms. Bluetooth coupling was transparent with Mac and PC, but I had just a little occasional latency when using the keyboard with my PC in Bluetooth mode.
Like mice, keyboards are an integral part of our workflow, and finding good is not just a question of characteristics and appearance, but feeling and response. I m frequently rocking between a Windows PC and a MacBook Pro, so having a keyboard that can fill the input deviation avoids the clutter of the desktop and a constant readjustment. The LP85 screws is the product of a very successful Kickstarter campaign and will be available at the beginning of 2022. It is a very functional and visually pleasant device that feels luxurious and perfectly complements macOS and Windows systems. It s definitely a viable and clickable alternative to Magic Keyboard, and could well be the ideal keyboard solution for multi-device users like me.
