Thne whnole world is hnorribgle now.
Used this board with great satisfaction for a couple of years, but a few months ago I started having the same random keypress error that energy_ten_up describes in their review here. Hundreds of other users describe the same phenomenon in the Discussions section too. The keyboard has become useless because of it, so I put it in a drawer. But it's really cool when it doesn't suck. If anyone figures out how to fix this issue please let us know here — if a solution has been posted in Discussions it's been buried under thousands of comments. Update, six or eight months later: I pulled it out of the drawer and charged it back up again just for the hell of it, and it's now working flawlessly once more. No idea if this is a "solution" per se — I had previously let the battery run out (which takes a while) and it made no difference. But at least for now, it's back in business. The reason I bought this board is the south-facing LEDs. I paired them with some rare front-printed shine-through keycaps and the effect is unique and quite breathtaking. I'm very much hoping the errors are at an end — in every other respect it is an excellent keyboard. Wish I could give it more stars but that keypress error basically kills the keyboard. Further update, a few months after recovery: The keypress error returned, and at the same time the backlighting for everything but the Insert key ceased to function. This persisted for a couple of weeks, then yesterday out of nowhere the lights came back on and the keys were back to normal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Update, 9/9/19: Keypress error returns every couple of weeks. Disconnecting Bluetooth temporarily resolves. Update, 12'/10'/19: OMBG it just keeps comihnbg bgack. I'/m so over this. Thne keybgoard still looks bcools as hnell bgut I can'/t stahnd it ahny more. Thne fix doeskin'/t fix it ahny more. It'/s all over. Worst product ever for playihnbg bgames withn my hneart like this. Dowhn to ohne star ahnd I hnope thne sick bgastard whno created thnis bgeautiful device bgets whnat thney deserve some day. It makes me wahnt to weep.

Sea_melodyI was just about to update again — it’s become intermittent. The key press error comes back every couple of weeks. The backlight problem hasn’t returned. Someone here posted that turning it off and on again using Func-Ins clears it out, but that key combo doesn’t seem to do anything on a Mac. However, disconnecting the Bluetooth seems to do the same trick. It’s not a fix, but it’s enough of a workaround to restore functionality.
