“This keyboard is designed to work with windoz and Mac. But I can't find Apple replacement keycaps anywhere. This is the only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5.”
“Screen - it's pretty decent for the price, it works as long as you don't customize the GIF or the JPEG as the software DOES NOT WORK .. it will say it's updated or the screen was updated with the JPEG or GIF you choose but it will only show a white screen …”

“Even tho I live in the middle of Europe the shipping only took 11 working days. It feels and sounds great to type on. And the opening experience was also great.”
