Since I did not purchase a chemical laboratory for the room, the presence of the smell of plastic was quite upsetting to me. Let someone take care of it, because I'm used to the idea that neither a laptop nor a keyboard nor a phone is free of any odors that aren't naturally present in those items. Which gives the impression that it is good for the environment. When I came across this information roughly 15 years ago, I was given the recommendation to purchase a keyboard that was manufactured under the control of official huge companies. Microsoft was in charge of the production of a keyboard of this kind, which has been around for a long time. A keyboard that was "manufactured under FCC control" was one of the items I purchased approximately 5 years ago. It is inexpensive, but it does not have any odors. The keys are fairly tight, so I chose to replace it with this K-380 instead because it has better ergonomics. I came to the conclusion that miracles do not occur. You shouldn't put too much stock in glowing testimonials if you haven't even given the product a shot yourself. Regrettably, determining the whole consumer properties at a business can be a challenging and time-consuming endeavor. Only when I'm at home. I will bring it back to the store and ask them to exchange it with something made by a different firm. I really want to see the store during the meeting, so fingers crossed!
