Great feel and performance

While working at home I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard that would allow me to switch between Windows and OSX. It's the same keyboard. Excellent tactile sensations when typing. Robust construction. The legs rise and offer good ergonomics. The size is great without the numeric keypad, but sometimes I miss it. Aside from my Razer Black Widow Ultimate, this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. Definitely the best wireless keyboard.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Weight

Works very well for what I use it for

I'm switching between a Mac mini and an external laptop keyboard and it's great. No KVM. Just one switch on the side to switch between laptop and Bluetooth Mac mini. I had no problems with that. I will say that I wish the buttons that toggle between the two settings were bigger(?). And also the caption that defines what mode you are in was bigger. really tiny, black on black. The typing speed is great and my fingertips don't hurt like on other keyboards. There are no problems with games.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

This keyboard works great in wired mode. WiFi is a mess.

When using wireless mode and typing at a normal or fast pace, the wireless connection keeps disconnecting or hanging up, resulting in many keystrokes. I rebooted the board, tried flashing it with a different firmware and contacted the manufacturer who offered a basic set of troubleshooting steps, although I told them I'd spent hours trying to get it working. They then offered to film me with it and send it to them for them to investigate further, an invasive suggestion that I felt was anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Fits

Great modding platform, beginner friendly

Highly recommended as a modding platform for beginners in the world of mechanical keyboards! Superior quality, standard keycaps, durability, and built-in features. (Note: I don't use Bluetooth, I used a wired connection and most of the negative reviews on this please read on, otherwise this is my personal review as a gamer, streamer and keyboard enthusiast.) First it came for a day, which a lot was impressive. When I opened the package, I saw a very good keyboard and a thick, breaded cableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Little things
