- Size, comfort
- Not
- Good assembly, quality materials, compactness and functionality, works with Mac and Win
- Not
- Comfortable, does not slip on the table, rather bright backlighting of the keys. A big plus is the automatic shutdown of the backlight. Works for a very long time on a single charge (4 times longer than MX Keys)
- The paint was quickly worn off near the lower right corner (in the area of \u200b\u200bthe arrow to the right). The desired function is not always called. For example, the Delete key (upper right) always locked the system, no matter which function key mode was enabled.
- nice keys, comfortable to type, got used to it quickly after a poppy
- backlight "smartly" turns off after 5 seconds when connected to a mac via bluetooth, the microphone in the airpods is naughty (instead of my voice there was a robo-voice) no cable connection there is no button for switching wine / poppy layouts, only through software
- the quality is top notch. nice materials. works stably, nothing falls off - the connection keeps stable. compact . Holds a charge for a long time - I do not use the backlight, because it is not relevant for touch typing. You can customize the keys with standard software, assign macros, quick commands. I don’t use fast switching to devices, I tried it, but I need it.
- this is a drawback of all direct claves, it is direct. the wrist has to be turned. Not ergonomic.
- 1. Quickly switch from one device to another. 2. Low key travel. Switching to MX Keys Mini from a Dark Project KD87A Gateron Teal Cap mechanical keyboard. Personally, I'm more comfortable typing when I don't have to lift my wrist high.
- 1. Unusual short Shift. 2. Next to the left Shift there is a key that repeats the characters "\" and "/", although square brackets are drawn. It turns out, a useless key that duplicates another. And I would like to be able to put square brackets without switching to the English layout.
- 1. Beautiful 2. Thin and light 3. Pleasant key travel 4. Holds the battery for a long time, a week without charging for 8-9 hours a day, the flight is normal.
- 1. The first 10 minutes after turning on the computer, the bluetooth connection with the keyboard is constantly reconnected (F1 flashes), it is impossible to work, one character is entered after ten. After 10 minutes everything is back to normal. Moreover, if these 10 minutes do not poke into the keyboard, the problem will not go away. I've tried turning it off completely - it doesn't work. If you turn off / turn on the keyboard - the stupidity starts again. Who is stupid, the keyboard, or bluetooth, or both, is incomprehensible, but wildly infuriates. After 10 minutes passes and everything is fine the whole working day. 2. The insert key for some reason does not obey the general "switch" f1-f12/fn. As a result, regardless of the setting (fn + esc to switch), for the classic paste combination "Shift + Insert" you have to press Shift + Fn + Insert. "It's inconvenient, you can't press it with one hand anymore 3. A very small left Shift for the sake of an absolutely unnecessary duplicate key with brackets. As a result, when typing with ten fingers, you need to have a large stretch of the little finger and ring finger in order to press some key combinations (for example, Shift + 2). 4. Extra letter e next to enter. Usually it is in the top row. With a ten-pointer set, it’s again unusual to hit Enter with the little finger, I’ll probably get used to it, but not yet. 4. I did not understand how the fn key to mute the microphone works. At least in Discord it is not supported. 5. Custom print screen prevents other screenshot programs from intercepting this key
