The keycaps are NOT as shown in the photos

I was glad to get this keyboard due to the classic look/font and solid construction, but the keycaps in this new version are different from the photos and the previous rating. A summary of the changes: - The font is awesome ("capslock" "shift" "G") - The layout of the text on the keyboard is different from the photo - the text is on top and in the middle of the keys. The text placement on the product photos is excellent. - In the row of numbers (and other punctuation marks), the characters are on the right (and not on top, like on a classic keyboard) 1! 2@ 3# 4$ 5% 6^. This is unlike any keyboard I've ever used and makes it difficult to find the right character. That black lettering on the orange keyboard looks fuzzy and a little bolder. - The orange writing on the black keycaps differs from the product photos. Orange on black is a combination of "Halloween". I prefer product photos with more elegant white text on black keys. Is there a line printed in black on the spacebar? It was a complete mystery to me until I saw the instructions, apparently it should flash to indicate charging status, but unfortunately this isn't a translucent window. We could lose the black line. Finally, the text is different for some keys (PrintScreen, Insert, Delete, Page Up, Page Down, Num Lock). I am very disappointed as I thought the keycaps looked great in the product photos. Why would they change something that looked so good? These new keycaps look cheap in my opinion. On the positive side, the caps appear opaque. The build quality of the board is solid. love how hard it is The red drinks are fine. Bluetooth pairing seems to be working. I haven't tried the WiFi key. *But* the problem is: the Num Lock key doesn't work! Pad hangs on numeric input. Yes, for me that negates the advantage of this large keyboard. If the RK or the seller can fix these issues (repair number keys and replace buttons) I will update the review with a new review. Pad hangs on numeric input.
