Its alright. Often has connectivity issues. But the hardware and chassis are good, and the keys work fine. Had it for 3 years without much of an issue.
Never buy Bluetooth keyboards that aren't at least rocking BT 4.0. This is my work keyboard and it's been so for the las 18 months. 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Not a single hiccup or weird disconnection. Once it starts missing a keystroke every month or so, I know it's time to plug it in and charge it up.
Great to type on, but a little lacking in extras.
I use this as both my gaming keyboard and the travel keyboard I take with me to accompany my iPad--connecting via Bluetooth. However, connecting to other devices / switching between connections doesn't seem to work most of the time, which is sad. (It's supposed to support switching between 3 BT devices, but following the instructions simply doesn't work for me.)
The backlighting isn't especially helpful, impaired by the solid keycaps, but that wasn't why I bought the keyboard.
So--overall, a solid keyboard at a great price for all-day typing, whether at a desktop or on the go, just don't expect all the bells and whistles of some other keyboards.
This is the first mechanical keyboard that I've really spent time with, and I'm pretty impressed. I ordered two so that I could leave a brown at work and keep a clickyclacky one at home - I don't see any of the QC issues mentioned in the other review. Mine are both solid, sit well, and don't rattle. I am not familiar enough with Cherry MX switches to claim that they are genuine or not, but my brown switches do have a tactile bump. Only issue is the lack of a Linux/OSX utility for programming keys, but everything works so I haven't had any need for it.
I ordered the cherry mx brown switches on this keyboard, and after typing on it for about an hour, it's safe to say that these are not genuine switches. They do not have a tactile bump whatsoever, and they push very easily, almost like a cherry mx red switch.
On top of this, the middle of the keyboard case is bowed outwards, causing the keyboard to slide everywhere when typing on it. The only way to alleviate this issue is by using the extendable feet props, which causes the keyboard to rest at too sharp of an angle for me to use effectively.
Lastly, there are at least two (2) loose components inside of the keyboard. If I shake it, I can hear them rattling about. I have yet to open the case to see what's going on with it, but so far it doesn't seem to be affecting the usability of the keyboard.
Overall, I really expect more out of a $150 keyboard, and I really did not expect to be given off-brand switches.
The only reason I am keeping it is because it's the only bluetooth mechanical keyboard that I can find, however I am very disappointed in it.
I know, but as stated in the review, I'm keeping it because it has bluetooth connectivity and it works, which is really the only good things I can say about it. I'm just really disappointed in the quality of it.
I like it a lot.
Cons:
No battery level indicator / unable to see battery level in Windows / Mac OS. Maybe I'm missing something.
Pros:
The weight and rubber feet are just heavy and sticky enough to keep the keyboard securely in place on my desk without feeling chunky.
Zero issues switching back and forth between Mac and other OSes with this keyboard. Mac OS initially complained once about not recognizing the up arrow to the right of the shift key, but all keys work correctly after closing the dialog.
The updated instruction manual that came with the keyboard is clear and accurate.
The backlighting is a nice touch on an otherwise low-frills keyboard.
Construction quality is better than I expected. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard. All the keys are level, switches feel equal across the board, all the lights work, and the usb port is sturdy.
A battery level indicator and better software support for customizing the fn layer would earn 5 stars.
