Review on Keyboard Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Silver, Cyrillic QWERTY by Avut Prapratchob ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Medium quality, especially for that kind of money.

In general, Claudia is beautiful, solid and interesting. But the cons outweigh the pros for me personally. I got it from the company at my workplace. I used to want to buy one. But now I don't want to. And I do not recommend it to anyone if the disadvantages I have described play some significance for you. Its pros: Looks beautiful. Both by itself and on the table in the general interior of the computer desk. Seemingly reliable. It appears to be of good quality. The aluminum body speaks for itself. Quite compact, flat, thickness - 3 millimeters according to sensations. At the same time, it is quite heavy and does not spontaneously ride on the table. Cons below: Partially derived from merit. 1. Under my arm - too small. And the point here is not in the absolute size, but rather in the form factor of the keys (that they are low and there is no clear border to the touch). Hitting the keys is a little more difficult than the standard keyboard (because of which I often miss). If I type almost blindly on a standard keyboard, then I need to look at the buttons and AIM directly to hit. As a result, typing is unergonomic, inconvenient. 2. The layout does not meet qwerty standards! The F keys are pressed only together with the Fn button. The colon on the 2022 layout is drawn on the number 5 (where it should be according to the standard), but it actually hangs on the 6 key! And there are many inconsistencies. Klava is especially bad friends with Linux. As a result, again - for those who are used to the standard layout - printing will not work quickly - you will have to get used to the new layout nuances. 3. Klava type wireless. BUT! She doesn't have an answer. That is, on other wireless keyboards and mice there is a USB thing (I don’t know what to call it correctly), which is plugged into the USB connector of a PC / laptop and wireless data exchange occurs with it. But there is no such module. And in order to use this keyboard via bluetooth from a PC, you need to buy an additional bluetooth module and connect to it. And if you don’t buy it, then you have to stupidly join the wiring. And the wiring is only 35 centimeters. If the PC is under your feet, then it won’t reach it, which means you need to have some kind of USB extension cable or hub that goes to the table next to the keyboard. 4. The keys make a metallic clatter when pressed. And quite unpleasant. For some, this may even be an advantage, but personally it annoys me. They write here that she is quiet . No! Compared to cheap claves for 200, it may be quiet, but good-quality modern claves are much quieter. This one would also be quiet if not for this metallic knock, which seems to have been made on purpose (apparently, the developer thought it would be cool).
