I am satisfied with the product, it is made well, the price is also pleasing.

Somewhere after a year of use, the "Shift" keys and one and the second at the same time stopped working. Couldn't print big letters. I bought another keyboard and have been using it for about a year. Recently I decided to connect X7 and lo and behold - it works! I am writing a review from her. The keyboard design seems dated, but I don't care. There are no 2022 characters on the rubberized keys. For me, this is not a minus, since I took blind typing courses. There and English differ with difficulty. Since they are not painted in a different color and merge. The "F" and "J" keys have a more pronounced "ribbing" for a ten-finger typing. Those who know will understand. The spacebar has been reduced due to the shortcut keys added on the sides of it. It is convenient to use. The design of the keyboard protects the chip from accidental spillage of liquid. It is implemented like this: Around the holes of the keys, under the very keys there are sides 5-6 mm in height, and in the platform itself, at the bottom there are 3 mm. through holes for draining liquid. Therefore, the liquid does not get on the microcircuit. Spilled a whole mug of tea without causing damage! But bathing her is contraindicated! The manufacturer made a cruel joke in the numbering of shortcut keys! The "G8" key is missing. Pay attention to the bottom keys. They are in order, but after the "G7" key comes "G9". )) But there is a "G16" key, although there are only 15 of them! At first I thought it was just me, but no. The pictures on the sites are displayed exactly as mine. This fact causes either misunderstanding or laughter, but not anger, that's for sure. The keyboard itself is quite stable, due to the considerable weight in comparison with others, as it has an increased size and additional. keys. As a result, the keyboard is multifunctional and protected from accidental spills of liquid on it. In general, a positive opinion about the keyboard!

Pros

Lots of programmable keys that are cleverly placed in convenient places, with the exception of the "G11" key. There are additional keys to increase and decrease the volume in a MEGA convenient place. A more comfortable place is hard to find. There are also other auxiliary keys for the convenience of video and audio playback. There are rubberized 8 keys, according to the manufacturer, with special wear resistance. Again, the fact that the keys are red and rubberized for many is a minus. Shifts and the "Backspace" key are long. The "Enter" key is also big. For me it matters. Enrage keyboards with truncated such important keys. The design of the keyboard protects it from spilling liquid on it. But not from "bathing the keyboard". I'll tell you more about this later. This function has proved to be effective in practice. Excellent software with which you can very flexibly configure shortcut keys. I will not describe, but there are enough functions for 95% of users.

Cons

Subjectively - red rubberized keys. It looks like red moccasins with black trousers for a certain contingent. ) But this is done so that "without looking" the fingers lie where they need to, and the cl of the keyboard is gaming and this design looks more aggressive. Given that there is no backlight. The keys are easily soiled and dust-attractive. In the sense that after a short use, dust particles and incomprehensible traces are visible on it. And not even from dirty hands, for example. Since spots also appear on keys that are not used at all. The keyboard is larger than average and takes up a lot of desk space. For some shooters it can be critical. When the mouse hits the board of the keyboard at an unnecessary moment. I got used to it, I don't have that problem. The multimedia keys on the right sometimes stick, as their size is almost a with a hole for them.
