Lost connection all the time

I've been using this product for a few months and this is my review. The reason I bought this keyboard is because of the wifi on my desk. However, despite the excellent quick key response and keystroke, it constantly loses keystroke when typing. I lose a word or a letter before I type after going to the bathroom or something. I understand it takes some time to reconnect, but I believe it should respond once the connection is established. However, the character or word is lost even after…

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Very expensive

NOTE. My particular configuration uses Gateron Brown switches. This is a fantastic keyboard and looks great. She's definitely tall, which some might find uncomfortable. I highly recommend getting some rest if you're not used to wrist-raised typing. It also makes accessing the top row a bit tedious. Bluetooth may be unstable and may take a few seconds to wake up from sleep mode. The wired mode works absolutely fine as expected and it's nice that they gave you that option. The keycaps are cheap…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • makes me angry

Overall a good keyboard, there is one more thing to note

I just got this keyboard for my Macbook Pro and Windows desktop. I'll hook it up to my phone when I get a chance, but thought I'd put something up quickly for people to see. 1) It has more clicks/noise than brown switches. Honestly, that's what I wanted, not too loud. There were hardly any brown ones. About me.2) The keyboard is high. Much taller than my other keyboard without the battery. I'm not sure if this will be an issue, but I still use a wrist rest, so it's not a big deal. 3) The…

Looks good, not very comfortable.

I snapped a picture with the K4 after reading all the great reviews and to be honest was confused when I got it. I was going to use it mainly for writing in MS Word (basic writing, around 80 wpm, no games) and needed a numeric keypad to be able to enter numbers for my work. It seemed like a great first mechanical keyboard for a beginner with a lot of cool features, so I was sold. Unfortunately, it's a lot nicer to look at than to use, and that's after I've really tried to love it and give it a…

Good keyboard, with some problems

I'll say right away that this is a good keyboard. The mechanical keys are solid and work exactly as they should. It's much easier to use (for me) than Apple's "chiclet-style" keyboards. I definitely recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a good alternative, albeit with some caveats. When you start your computer and turn on the keyboard, pressing a key (any key) often causes the keyboard to "blink" - the backlight goes out and the keyboard is unresponsive. This only takes a few seconds…

Pros
  • Not cheap, but decent
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was

Great keyboard and tips on making it Perfect keyboard

I'm VERY picky about keyboards. I'm over 50. I know. it's an obsession. I travel and print a lot. My requirements for this keyboard in particular are that I wanted the keyboard to be compact enough to fit in my backpack, but still have mechanical keys and a number pad, which is essential for my work. I also wanted Bluetooth or at least a detachable cable. Most keyboards have a non-detachable cable, making them cumbersome when traveling. In order to combine all of these features into one…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Weight
