“I really like this keyboard, particularly due to its ISO PT layout. For the next iteration, I suggest using a higher-quality plastic, as the keycaps feel a bit cheap. I would easily pay 20/30 EUR more if the keyboard felt more premium.”

“very compact, build quality is great, and I don't even feel any latency when using the keyboard wireless.”
