After using a membrane keyboard for years, I find it awkward to type on this one since 1) it is so tall (36 mm) and the stand is very helpful for saving my position in games. 2) The 4 mm of key travel is really generous. When pressed, the keys feel nice and smooth, but they take a while to register, making this keyboard less ideal for typing and playing than one with tactile switches. Considering the subjective inconvience and awful characters, I sent the keyboard back to Amazon, where I was able to get a full refund within 30 days.
