In this segment of the video, the speaker reviews two of the best laptop keyboards for 2021 based on personal opinion. They start with the Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard, highlighting its wireless design which reduces desk clutter and provides a long battery life of up to two years. The keyboard features quiet rubber dome switches, good typing quality with stable keys, and excellent compatibility with various platforms via Bluetooth, although some function keys may not work on all operating systems. The F4 to F7 keys can be programmed with any function.
Next, the Logitech Ergo K860 is introduced as the best for work due to its ergonomic design aimed at providing support and reducing physical strain. It features a curved split keyframe, a double-layered soft foam wrist rest, and front-end tilt legs that can adjust to four or seven-degree angles. Despite its initial awkwardness, users adapt quickly. The keyboard uses Logitech’s perfect stroke key system, similar to scissor key mechanisms in laptops, and connects wirelessly through a unifying receiver USB dongle and Bluetooth. The keys are comfortable but not backlit, emphasizing its role as a professional work keyboard.

In this part of the video, the focus is on three different keyboards:
1. **Logitech Ergo K860**: This keyboard has a split key design that may take some time to get used to but overall, it is impressive. Its standout features include front-end tilt support, which assists in maintaining proper hand positioning, and a double-layered soft foam cushion that adds to its comfort and professional look.
2. **Anne Pro 2**: This 60% keyboard comes with various Gateron switches, per-key RGB lighting, and supports both Bluetooth 3.0 and wired connections. Initial models had software and hardware issues, especially with the original Oben software, which was non-intuitive and unreliable. The latest model has improvements such as better Bluetooth connectivity, USB-C port, enhanced switches, and improved stabilizer bars for larger keys, enhancing both typing and gaming experiences.
3. **Logitech MX Keys**: This all-round keyboard is built on a single metal plate, making it highly durable but also quite heavy, weighing nearly 1.8 pounds, best suited for desktop use. It connects via the Logitech unifying receiver and can be customized using Logitech Options software. This software allows remapping of function or media keys and other functionalities while managing paired devices and battery-saving modes.
