Review on 🎨 Experience Comfort and Style with Microsoft's Glacier Designer Compact Keyboard (21Y-00031) by Kichiro Osamura ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I was looking for an analogue of the Apple Magic Keyboard, but for the PC world. Found and happy. Be aware that the keyboard will go to sleep after a period of inactivity. This is completely normal behavior and it takes a second for her to connect to the PC again.

Pros
  • Low profile and scissor mechanism. Compactness. Nice soft key travel.
Cons
  • - The right Ctrl key is missing. To be honest, it would be much better to have a right Ctrl rather than an Experessive key for emoji. - Powered by four DL2032 batteries. For such a low profile, I can’t imagine what other ways to power other than a battery or such batteries exist. But I still think it's a disadvantage. In this case (with such low power consumption) I would prefer the built-in battery, although I could not change it when it degrades. - Plastic case. The aluminum case, like the Apple Magic Keyboard, is still nicer than plastic. - You can not connect the cable and use it as a wired keyboard. Because of this, this keyboard remains an accessory, and not a full-fledged keyboard. You will still need a keyboard with a radio receiver or cable to manage EFI or reinstall the OS on the computer.
