Connectivity

The keyboard offers three connection modes: wired USB, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless. The 2.4 GHz mode provides a higher polling rate, which can improve input responsiveness compared to Bluetooth.

Trade-offs

The compact 75% layout omits a dedicated number pad, which may be less ideal for users who frequently input numeric data.
While battery life is claimed up to 760 hours, real-world usage may vary, and no detailed information on charging speed is provided.
Build material and mounting style details are not specified, so durability and typing feel cannot be fully assessed from available information.
