I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

This is already the 3rd keyboard of this model in my practice. The first two were wonderful. In those "good old days" this model corresponded to an "excellent" rating, but now I put only "good" on a new purchased product.

The keyboard currently on the market is a cheaper "restyling" from the magnificent exclusive that this model once was. Still present: a hub for 2 USB and a rise in the case along the entire length along the rear edge. The keyboard is heavy and non-slip, but the metal casing is gone. The keys are thin and well pressed, but due to the cheapening of materials, a clear feeling of pressing was lost. In favor of fashion trends, the strict classic professional layout was replaced by the "pop" FN + multimedia keys - this is certainly good for "likes", but bad for work related to the active use of the keyboard. Due to the fact that the differences from cheap analogues were minimized, the price is clearly too high.

Pros

+ Num-Caps-Scroll-Lock indication, very noticeable, but not cutting the eye with brightness, I have never met such a successful solution + 2 USB hub + heavy and does not slip on the table + high-quality packaging (the keyboard is heavy, additional depreciation will not hurt)

Cons

- the price is too high (the model was cheaper and now such a high price has become unreasonable) - the classic model was remade and it became with FN + multimedia layout; on the market in general and this manufacturer in particular has a lot of multimedia keyboards and few classic ones - now this model has also lost the classic layout (many photos show a clear mismatch - the classic model without FN is still shown) - FN + multimedia in this model in an "uncomfortable" variation - to control the volume with one hand, you need to unscrew the brush and stretch diagonally across the entire keyboard
