The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

Compactness and the absence of an intermediate block with arrows and home ends are both an advantage and a disadvantage. For notebook inmates, a numpad is enough, and it is generally enough, getting used to poking into a numlock is not for long, and the convenience is worth it. It is a pity that the buggy doiver interferes with use. The inmates behind the usual PCs will have to relearn a little. If you are too lazy to poke into Namlok, then there is a mini-block with arrows with a total size of the "Shift" key.

In general, this device is a controversial thing just because of its compactness and the price that is not particularly justified even "there". Therefore, claves without Cyrillic do not sell well here, which is why they can be bought for $55 in the 2022 in 2023. Which already looks like the real price in world retail.

Pros

dual link: both BT and USB 2.4GHz. Whistle included. VT is important to me, claves with it are obviously more expensive, but they do not occupy ports. In a good way - some kondovost and weightiness. This is important for a separate cursive clave. The keystrokes are short and clear, there is a clatter, but not very loud. It's not a membrane. The position of the hand is generally familiar to the user of a good laptop keyboard. The arrangement of the bottom row is standard, marking both for wine growers and apple lovers. The right Fn button is an unusual thing, but useful here. Standard AAA batteries (batteries included) A smart pocket and buttons for switching between devices are five. The mechanical switch engine is also excellent. On my clave - only the Latin alphabet, so we will write down the forced disposal of the manner of looking at the clave when writing as dignity. At the same time, the lack of backlighting can somehow be justified by the lack of need to look at the keyboard, although for a 4tyr + device this is already a shame. But, nevertheless, vendors do not put any backlights or other obvious devices in their crafts on radio channels.

Cons

But the shortcomings make you tense: 1. Price for claves with printed Cyrillic. It's definitely not worth it, Logitech is not a premium manufacturer, although it really wants to . but it's like Acer's: Wishlist collapses into reality :) I bought a Latin one. Didn't even put stickers on. Now I understand that I bought in vain. 2. The driver is constantly buggy: after some time spent in NumLock OFF mode, switching to number mode does not work on keys 2 and 8. They simply become empty until the OS is restarted or until the keyboard is paired again. In short, ketai product as it is. Well, little things: Condoness is also a minus, since such keyboards are usually made a little softer and lighter in terms of key travel. And here everything is also not difficult, but there is a difference. How to put it . You write with a little marching step, it doesn’t bother me. But in a direct comparison, a person will still choose Satechi. Their keyboards are better than MacBooks (for me, Apple's keyboards are not the best, but this is just a well-known standard).
