“I love my new keyboard. It is as quiet as advertised and I’m very pleased with the overall performance of the keyboard!”
“I have no way through the software to keep the keyboard on for more than a minute. And randomly throughout typing or gaming the keys become unresponsive. Id expect that out of a 20$ keyboard. But this was a 100$ purchase, very dissapointing”

“I really want my numpad to be on the left, so the inter-position between my mouse, keyboard, and Numpad are more ergonomic and balanced. However, if the product has a wireless option, I will for sure buy this version!”
