> 3 dayI use Apple products and absolutely hate their beautiful thin keyboards. I spend more time correcting my typing than I do actually typing. So, I was eager to find a new keyboard that was pretty but vastly more usable. This keyboard has the potential to be that solution to my problem. When I first got it, my typing accuracy skyrocketed. I could feel the keys, their edges, and when they were clicked (I got the brown switches). Setup was easy, although the manual could be improved. I operated it as a wired keyboard for the first day while I let the battery charge. There is NO indication when the battery becomes fully charged though. It does use an LED to let you know approximately how the charge level is holding up. Mine said it was 80%+ for the first 4 days I was using it wirelessly. Today on day 5, it started spewing greek characters non-stop. I assumed the battery had dropped too low and shut it off. After plugging it in for a few hours, it seems to be working OK again. I am skeptical though. The firmware needs to be updated so that the Left LED starts flashing red hours before the keyboard starts vomiting gibberish. That way the user can plug it in to charge, before encountering problems. Better yet, the keyboard should include SW to allow you to configure the keyboard, select lighting options, and provide a pop-up when the battery is running low. This is 2022 after all. Im hoping a dead battery is the cause of my recent problem. Ill be testing it more in coming days and will make the final decision whether to keep or return while I still can. The keyboard feels great, and I hope I decide to keep it. Even if I do keep it, the battery life is a factor of 4-5 shorter than those unusable Apple wireless keyboards. Update: I wish the keyboard integrated with MacOS better. I never use the CAPS key, but I do activate occasionally by accident. I should be able to turn it off. My solution was to pull the key and switch, clip the wire leads off the bottom of the switch, and reinstall it. The keyboard should also have a character buffer so you can start typing right away while the keyboard is reconnecting to the computer. Currently you need to tap a key, watch the left bar blink blue for a few seconds, and then begin typing. Again, an indicator showing whether the keyboard is currently (dis)connected would be very useful.

> 3 dayWorks out of the box for MacOS no issues. Great to have a PBT keycap keyboard alternative to Keychrons ABS keycaps. Being hot-swappable is also awesome, as Im able to customize which switches to use across the keyboard. The keycaps are very low-profile: very comfortable with a sort of muted feel and sound with the brown Gateron switches. One complaint I have is that feel and sound variance is a little more pronounced than on other keyboards Ive used: arrow keys are especially brighter / more snappy than keys in the center. Not a deal breaker, and considering the very limited low-profile PBT options that work out-of-the-box on Mac, I would still recommend.

> 3 daySomehow got used one, on the box its even says renewed... If that was really just my mistake - then fine, thats ok, if it works - Im ok with that. But there were no keycap/switch puller and 2.4G reciever in the box. Overall quality of the keyboard is good.

> 3 dayWell built compact keyboard. It’s my first wireless mechanical keyboard.After going through all the positive feedbacks it has on YouTube, I decided to get one for myself. Delivery was quick, packaging was alright. Easy to set up and keyboard feels sturdy. Like in the other reviews, the backlight on keyboard is not that great as the letters are not lit but the borders are. I was aware of it anyways , so was not a deal breaker for me .

Greater than one weekI am a heavy computer user for work and this keyboard is a joy to type on. Despite the low profile, the keys feel great. The keyboard overall feels well made and solid.

> 3 dayThis is my second-ever mechanical keyboard- Ill admit, the low profile switches took a day of getting used to, but now that Im used to it its just as fun to type on while being 10 times as pretty. The keycaps are incredibly high quality and well-designed: no bootleg misprint icons to be found here. The build feels reasonably solid and the hot-swappable switches are a nice touch for if I ever want to try tactiles in the future. Some criticisms: The 2.4GHz dongle, according to the manufacturer, is unencrypted- but also it has a very short range. This makes it fairly useless, as with Macs, Bluetooth is a more reliable option with a wider range, and on PC, the one thing youd want it for, namely writing a boot password, is a security risk. I do not have the equipment or time to test if sniffing is possible, but I would err on the side of caution and use wired mode when your PC is booting. Bluetooth, however, works okay during boot on Mac and in the Operating System on Linux. My second criticism concerns Mac/Linux operation: the firmware is proprietary, and currently, key remapping software is only available for Windows. The manufacturer says the key remapper will also be available for macOS Summer 2022, which I will update this review if they deliver, but Id rather they open source the software and let the community handle it.

> 3 dayThe plastic body isn’t rigid enough. It looks nice but loses out on the typing feel with plastic body and frame. Feels very shallow when typing on them.

Greater than one weekIve been looking for a keyboard that can comfortably type on, having multi-device function and with pbt keycap. This keyboard is low-profile with PBT keycap, multi-device functionality, well built/packaging and stickers and in a resonable price. I would recommend to go with the brown switches that gives you a little bump/response when you type. This keyboard is simply the best TKL keyboard on the market for office right now. Way better than those logitech ones. Get it!!!! (If we can have a 100 keys version with numpad on this 75keys would be even better) Below are my expericen for the past year: Keyboards that Ive tested: Logitech G915 TKL Pros: low profile Cons: Pricy($175 on sale), no pbt keycap, getting oily after several months of regular use. Razer Huntsman TKL V2 elite linear switch: Pros: Extreme silent, PBT keycap Cons: Pricy($160), wired, too responsive for typing, can have a lot of typo Razer Huntsman TKL V2 elite clicky switch: (I mainly use it for gaming) Pros: Clicky, PBT keycap, 3.5mm total travel distance, 1.5 mm trigger distance. (Extremely good for typing) Cons: Pricy($150), wired, a bit annoying in the meeting because your colleague can hear you typing Corsair K70: Pros: linear switches, PBT keycap, $99 on sale Cons: Too responsive with 3.5mm total travel distance and 1.2 mm of trigger distance. Wire.
