“Overall good little keyboard for the price, other 40s cost more but better quality, also I could not find a few characters mapped on this one, not in manual or online.”
“The keyboard is very solid ooverall, but frequently will type two letters instead of one on key press. This is a very frustrating issue and leads to many typos. Without this problem, it would easily be a 5-star keyboard.”

“I was really looking forward to the Qwertykeys QK65 Mk3 Prebuilt, but right out of the box, the left control key was completely unresponsive. After doing some of my own troubleshooting, I pulled the switch and found that one of the pins was bent a full 90…”
