“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”

“Worked perfectly, best keyboard I've ever owned. For one hour. After that all RGB turned off, and the main function of the keyboard (Typing), no longer works. I can't type with it, the web launcher doesn't detect it either, just don't waste your money.”
