Revainrating 3 out of 5

Impressive little keyboard

I really wasn't expecting too much from this keyboard: I originally bought it because my laptop's built-in keyboard had failed, and I wanted something in the same "compact" size that I use would like to take to work. But it didn't take long for me to realize that this was too good a keyboard to constantly risk bumps and scratches on my commute to and from work, so I decided to pull it out of that unenviable rotation and put it as my primary Keyboard aside for my secondary home computer system once I had the "Linux" distribution set up on that second computer. This keyboard is relatively light, its keys are firm but also wide enough, with the keys spaced just enough apart that they don't create too much of a "tight" feel. Of course, fitting into those dimensions requires the lack of a separate numbered keypad - and in that regard, my only real issue is that it's recognized as a newly added device every time I reconnect. , you will most likely need to RESET the board to get out of the "number block" mode that seems to be set by default (who was the genius that gave us this nasty headache, I wonder). So overall, this model easily meets both needs, whether it's a primary or a backup keyboard. - Presented.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not the best
