“Had the keyboard since August. Dealt with the same issue as another reviewer of keys double registering but dealt with it. PCB died today. 3 stars because everything else was fantastic.”

“My first better keyboard and I am absolutely satisfied. We'll see how it works after a longer time. I just thought of one small thing, I have nowhere to hide the receiver when I leave with just the laptop and I want to leave the keyboard at home. Like you can…”
“Beware of the double-clicking issue. I have got 2 units of this. They're both having the same problem and worse.”
