Well made entry-level mechanics

This keyboard should appeal to many. The processing quality is very good. I chose Gateron Brown switches and am very happy with them. Very little deck flex or bounce - this is a mature product, especially for the price. The noise when typing is pleasant. I've used it with Mac, iPad, Raspberry Pi and Linux/Win10 single board computers. Bluetooth worked fine on all of them. The button feels good, but I might try an O-ring (damper switch) to soften the hit a bit. I tend to hit switches when I'm typing fast. My wishes/complaints: Bluetooth off timer is short. Even just 10 minutes will make a big difference and probably won't have a big impact on battery life. The sleep timer can be turned off, but a longer timer would be better. The layout is good, but it's awkward for a Linux programmer/user to press Fn2+Esc to get "". Maybe I'll remap some keys. There is no software included with this board, you must use whatever your operating system can use to display the levels. Aside from these minor issues, it's excellent value for money. Good introduction to mechanical keyboards.
