Are there any alternatives

At $99 for the Pop Keys and $39 for the Pop Mouse, there are plenty of alternatives to these Studio Series peripherals. The Pop Keys’ most notable competitors include other retro-inspired keyboards like the Qwerkywriter S, Rymek KnewKey, and Azio MK Keyboard. All these keyboards come with similar mechanical switch mechanisms and circular keys that make them resemble typewriters, but none offer the same modern versatility of the Pop keys, including dedicated emoji keys, media and function keys that can be customized, and a support for Logi Bolt. Another attractive quality of the Pop Keys is that it is between $100 to $200 less than some of its closest competitors.

　　

How long will it last

Logitech’s Pop Keys will, like the typewriters that preceded it, last you for a very long time. The batteries are good for three years of use, and replacing them with fresh batteries will keep you going for much longer. Though replaceable batteries aren’t as good for the environment as rechargeable internal batteries, the upside is that you won’t have to worry about the batteries being able to hold a charge as the Pop Keys ages. This means that rather than throwing away an otherwise perfectly usable keyboard years down the line because the internal battery has aged out of its useful life span, you can just swap in new batteries and keep on going on this keyboard. Logitech offers a one-year limited hardware warranty for the Pop Keys in the U.S. and most of Asia, though you can get a two-year warranty if you purchase the keyboard in Japan and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

　　

Should I buy it

Yes, if you rely on or use emoji, the Pop Keys is an invaluable tool for your home or home office. Though it was designed for teens and tweens, the Pop Keys is a fun keyboard that is sure to brighten up any room. Logitech has modernized the typewriter for the modern age.
