Great addition to the home office, I'm very glad I got the Bluetooth

below. I have a PC with a wireless keyboard, but it uses a USB dongle. To use it with my company laptop I would need to move the dongle from my PC to the laptop. (Yes, I know, the first world problem.) My laptop only has two USB ports and I was hoping not to take up a valuable USB port as I need another one for my Jabra. I also didn't want to keep moving the key back and forth between computers. It was a great alternative in terms of value for money, comfort, build quality and features. They offer this in a cheaper non-bluetooth version, but I'm glad I have this version. It took a few tries to pair it with my laptop but once I did it hasn't had to be paired since and is fully functional. It has an on/off switch, but will also turn itself off after a few hours of non-use to save battery life. Just press a button or two and it wakes up. It can be configured to work with up to three different Bluetooth-enabled devices, including phones and tablets (but I haven't tried it yet). There are three different keys to tell the keyboard what device to connect to, so I can toggle them for use with my home PC as well. It's thin and light, but the keyboard is almost full-size, including a number pad and arrow keys. . This is good for all the Excel work I do. The keys are a little flat and shallow, like "island" keyboards on some computers from the 80's, but I'm used to that. They have good feedback and I don't make many mistakes (besides the ones I usually make). One thing I haven't gotten used to yet is that sometimes when I want to use the Left Shift key, I usually press Caps Lock instead. I usually see my mistake and correct it, but over time I have to correct it. Others here have noted that the keyboard isn't tilted, but I haven't found that to be an issue. It is also very durable and of good quality. As I'm writing this during the coronavirus pandemic, I try to disinfect it from time to time (at least a few times a week) with a light spray of isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and then wipe it down. It didn't cause any problems with battery life, functionality, or appearance. I have not tried bleach and would not recommend it.

Pros
  • Sequin
Cons
  • Appearance
