A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

I can evaluate this device with two ratings. For the first month of use, I can put 3 months, because of the too brutal approach to rearranging the keys and, accordingly, the long time to get used to it. In the future, I can put a solid 4. For its price, it performs its function well. I can’t put a five because of the lack of a stand for the hand and a little oak assembly. In general, if you get used to it (and this is a long process), then it will meet expectations.

Pros

The main advantage of the keyboard is the price. The small design and rearrangement in most cases is quite convenient and takes up much less space on the table than a regular keyboard (I will write about the minuses below). It has interchangeable panels (not a critical plus, but for faster development it’s not even bad). Again, the rubberized keys are very comfortable for the fingers. The included bag is very useful for carrying to LAN games. What's more, the bag even has a mouse compartment!

Cons

One of the important disadvantages is the rearrangement of the ALT, SHIFT and CTRL keys. The keys raised up, due to the transfer of the CapsLock key to another part of the keyboard, feel very uncomfortable and unusual . Out of habit, the finger reaches for CTRL to sit down, and instead of it it turns out to be ALT. Of course, you can reassign the keys in the control, but this is already a cost. The second disadvantage would be the non-standard and inconvenient arrangement of the F1-F12 keys. For compactness, of course, they came up with an interesting one, but willy-nilly, even after long days of getting used to, you count the number of keys to hit the right one. Radically changed arrangement of symbolic keys. It also takes a long time to get used to their new location. No brush stand. In principle, a trifle, but since they made such a device for gamers, then it would not hurt to roll a little more plastic for the brush, on the lower part of the keyboard.
