Nothing unusual, a normal product.

Unless, since the "USB whistle" on the keyboard can be used as a footrest in a pinch. It is permanently attached to the keyboard, and a new one cannot be purchased separately. But I wouldn't call this a drawback either.
If you press the standard shortcut to exit a program (Alt + A4), your computer will immediately enter hibernation mode because the sleep function is assigned to F4. If you want to use the function keys independently of fn, you'll need to press fn + Caps lock, however this configuration will be lost if you remove the batteries or power down the keyboard.

Pros

- I got this keyboard for my PC since its layout is so familiar to me from the wireless "Apple Magic Keyboard" that I use on my Mac. - It's wirelessly functional, but the system treats it as wired, so you can access the BIOS without a hitch before booting into the operating system. As built-in batteries tend to die after a year or two, especially if you don't use the device for long periods of time (for example, Apple's greed has led them to abandon removable batteries in the newest versions of their keyboard and trackpad), this keyboard requires AAA batteries (I prefer to use rechargeable ones so as not to waste money on them) to keep it running. You may worry free that your morning coffee will not ruin it because it is waterproof.

Cons

For left-handed people who typically use the fn button to simulate the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown keys, its placement on the right side of the keyboard may be inconvenient. - Although there was a Windows 10 compatibility sticker on the keyboard box, I found that the touchpad was not as convenient as the Apple Trackpad (the surface is not as smooth, and the size is smaller, for example), and that Windows 10 gestures such as three fingers up (Win + Tab) and others did not work. - In Windows 10's preferences, the touchpad disappears entirely, and the keyboard acts as if it were a mouse instead. - Although there is a single light that illuminates when the keyboard is powered on, it serves no purpose and provides no indication of whether or not Caps lock is on or whether or not the function keys are active. - It's unfortunate that there aren't any customizable drivers for the keyboard and mouse. If you assign a call to your program or some function to the Media Button, then when you press them, the keyboard can perform an action on default (which you erased, ale Microsoft?! ), with the place with what you configured. However, the Microsoft "Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.8" does not provide much configuration, and the setting of Media Buttons generally works with glitches.
