I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

I used this keyboard for a day, after a low-profile logitech - it's very inconvenient to type! I make so many mistakes. It seems that the area of โ€‹โ€‹the key, its size is smaller. Or maybe the edges of the key are too high, forming a "side" for which the fingers cling to when moving. I also noticed that after the low-profile K740, the hands are very tense, as if you are breaking your arms when typing, put a notebook under your wrist - this is much better, but for good you need a wrist support. Another feature of the mechanics is that it doesnโ€™t work when you press it all the way, but at halfway, itโ€™s not very convenient in games, and especially when driving a car in GTA or cyberpunk, when taxiing, you get the feeling that you need to dance on the button, look for the trigger point, and on the membrane is simple with this. In general, you can get used to everything, of course, but the question of what is more convenient is an open one. And for comparison, I used another clave from the old aimak of 2022, with a high profile of the keys - and so on it, due to the flatter shape of the keys and their larger area, it is more convenient to type and the brushes do not get tired like that, because. fingers can be kept closer to the surface of the buttons and not lift as high as you move between the keys. The keyboard as a whole is not noisy, but much noisier than the membrane, typing actively, even on red switches, if someone is sleeping nearby is not very comfortable. I used to think about click switches, but at night they would probably be heard even in the next room, so no, thanks. As a result, I returned the Claudia, although tactile and in quality - an excellent product.

Pros
  • - workmanship is very decent, metal case - if you do not take into account Ali and the Chinese, then it is quite an adequate price for such quality and guarantee - compactness
Cons
  • - inconvenient shape of the keys, if you do not type with all fingers, because when moving, fingers cling to the sides of the buttons, you have to raise your fingers high, as a result, your hands get noticeably tired, you need a stand. If you type with all your fingers, then this may not be a problem for you. - no wrist rest - loud compared to membrane keyboards - clumsy 2022 font (writing), albeit with backlighting) (it was not for nothing that Jobs was fond of calligraphy - this creates comfort and peace for the eyes, many manufacturers neglect this) - I read a lot about the software, which is clumsy, but it worked fine for me, but very meager functionality
