“Great ultra slim keyboard. Would like to see a similar design as this with backlighting and maybe legs for adjustable height.”

“I love this keyboard. It works very well with my setup. The key switches and the knob are perfect. My only feedback is that I wish there was a southpaw version of this keyboard. As a person working with numbers and creativity, the K17 Pro Southpaw version…”
