“Looks good, sounds good, preformed good but the software is a bit slow to recognise the keyboard and one of the clips on the back is a bit broken, it is hard to click and is loud”

“Great keyboard but K2 is too small for my clumsy hands... not their fault. A larger one may have worked better for me. Otherwise I like everything about it.”
