“I don't like writing reviews but I do like reading them lol. What I am trying to say is that don't sleep in this keyboard. I even liked it more than my Lemokey L3. I got the one with the side printed keys and banana switches. This is my 3rd keychron keyboard.”

“It’s nice but if it was with the volume thing on the top right like in the aula 75 it would be much better”
“When I charge the keyboard it only holds for like 10 hours and then I need to charge again”
