The keyboard is really reliable. The best thing about this keyboard is if you have cats or eat at your desk from time to time as it is very easy to clean between keys as there is no ledge around the platter like other keyboards. The keys sound muffled, which I personally like. Most importantly, it's fairly sensitive so you're going to make mistakes a lot more often than usual as the keystroke is really smooth so you don't get the precise tactile pressure you get on any other mechanical keyboard. Once adapted to it, it's durable and will hopefully last as long as the advertised optical dongles suggest. Finally, if you like the ones that don't have a number pad, make sure you select that option I overlooked and got the full one.
