Takes a few days to get the hang of the key positions, but once I did, I love it. Very quiet and smooth.For the price, it’s a good keyboard! Would recommend.Pros:• Removable AAA batteries that can be replaced with rechargeables. HUGE plus for me. I hate having non-removable rechargeables that, once depleted, the average consumer can’t/won’t break into to replace and will chuck out and buy a whole new device.• Typing angle feels good• Switching between 3 devices• Convenient hot keys• Decent tactile key feel• Relatively quiet typing sound.• A place in the battery compartment to store the dongle. The board is too big to travel with, but it’s nice to have a place in case you have to move or something like that.• Wrist rest feels okay enough for me to put it in the “pro” section. Kinda… fabric-like, but also sort of grippy…? Keeps your hands in a good position.• Bolt receiver, so the wireless connection is allegedly more secure, but I have no way of knowing. It connects other Bolt-ready devices to the same receiver, so USB ports aren’t clogged. Did this with my Logi Lift mouse.Cons:• My board’s keys have inconsistent coloration. A couple are a deeper grey. Not a huge problem, but for the price of the board, it shouldn’t be an issue.• Key legends are either stickers or printed on, which I know from experience won’t last.• No backlight. I understand that it saves tremendously on power for a wireless keyboard, but it’d be nice to have the option. Again, for this price.• The wrist rest is monolithic, meaning that it’s a part of the board. I understand that it would be difficult to maintain the structure of the wave shape with a detachable piece, but there must be a way.• The wrist rest also doesn’t appear to be easily detachable, washable, or replaceable.• I had to go to another website to order. For some reason, Amazon won’t let you buy it unless you have a business account, but I can go anywhere else to get it. Shouldn’t rule #1 of selling something it to let people give you money?Neutral:• Not a fan of the “Y” key’s placement. I’m a touch-typist, so I was trained to hit that key with my left hand. That could be remedied by creating blank, mappable keys where the “T” key extends out. Something similar can be done to where the “N” key extends out for those trained to hit the “B” key with their right hand.• No wired version or detachable type-c wired/wireless version.Improvement:My ideal version of this keyboard would keep all the pros, but also have:• A detachable, easily removeable, replaceable, and cleanable wrist rest.• Low-profile, hot-swappable, mechanical key switches• A backlight -Customizable RGB for gaming and/or just a dimmable white for business.• Offerings in a type-c wired/detachable wired version• TKL, 75%, and 65% layout versions.• Also, if they could tune the Bolt receiver to make it low latency like their LIGHTSPEED receiver, this keyboard would be amazing, but I understand that encryption and authentication adds latency.I got one for home and work. I love the feature to be able to control up to three computers with one keyboard and switch between the two with a button.Bluetooth connection is flawless. Control 3 computers separately or AT THE SAME TIME! Flow from one to the other without having to push any buttons. I paired mine with the Logitech MX anywhere 3 and can flow through and copy and paste from multiple computers at AT THE SAME TIME! I love this thing, truly.Works great! Easy install.
