Praise
“I like the heavy feel. The extra surface area is welcome too; suspected I wouldn't miss the ten key. The right arrow key seems to skip at times, as if I pressed it twice, but maybe it's a fault of my own.”
Nathan H.Verified buyer· via Divinikey
Critique
“I recently purchased the Luminkey 75 v2 through Divinikey. The keyboard itself feels premium, heavy, and well-built. However, since this was drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer, the factory unboxing experience was totally ruined by a bizarre packaging…”
