Battery life seems more than adequate and the device will charge while being used in wired mode.
The only complaints I have relate to the speed with which it switches between devices. For the typical user this probably wouldn’t be an issue but for someone that’s switching multiple times within very short intervals the lag is enough to become frustrating.
The switches on the side for selecting wired or bluetooth and Windows or Mac are small though not frequently used.
There is no software which is both a positive, (you don’t need any) and a negative because there’s no key customization.
Your only indicator of battery life will be a small led next to the small selection switches not a deal breaker but not ideal either.
All in all I recommend this keyboard, it offers the benefits of a mechanical with good tactile feedback, support for 3 devices, nice RGB backlighting at a very fair price point.
The key presses feel great, and the LED's are just fun to look at!
Bluetooth functionality works AMAZINGLY on this as well! Really easy to switch from one device to another.
If you have multiple devices, this keyboard is for you!
But the killer feature is the RGB lighting effects. They are just brilliant and transform a humble keyboard into a showpiece for your room. It's basically a keyboard and a lava lamp at the same time. Looks amazing in a dim room.
In order to pack all those features in one keyboard, I realized that concessions had to be made, but I didn't want any concessions to impact my ability to TYPE. Meaning, I needed a full sized keyboard and high quality keys.
This is really the first keyboard that met all my requirements in a keboard. Full size with number pad, yet compact. Bluetooth with removable chord and quality build and keystrokes.
So... what did I have to give up?
First, I had to concede to a thicker keyboard. In order to accommodate a backlit and bluetooth mechanical keyboard, the manufacturer needed to add some weight and thickness to amp up the battery to give it the juice to perform. This affects its compactness to a degree as well as typing comfort for some, albeit for me it doesn't impact my comfort or ability to type.
Second, I had to concede to a keyboard that goes to sleep after a few minutes and I have to be patient while it wakes back up, as well as deal with some occasional Bluetooth lag.
Third, I had to concede cursor keys (Which I rarely use anyway) that are a little tight and a "0" on the number-pad downsized to a regular key instead of an oversized thumb key.
Fourth, I had to pay $104 for all those features.
So... I'm pretty happy about my purchase, but here is what I think (at least for me) would make this a better keyboard.
1. I would either make the keyboard sleep user-defined through an app, or I would scrap Bluetooth altogether. By far, my biggest complaint is how quickly this keyboard sleeps. I have a business and I am reviewing invoices and documents and then entering and updating information as needed. 90% of the time, when I'm ready to engage my keyboard, it has gone to sleep. It's not worth it. This needs to be user definable based on need, or simply done away with. It isn't usable in its current state. As such, I always leave it plugged in when I work. I DO love the fact that it uses a detachable USB-C which makes it easy to connect to my laptop for power and data.
2. If Bluetooth is scrapped, I would build a really slimline version of this. Take out the battery, remove the Bluetooth and skinny this keyboard up by a half inch or more by adding half-depth keys. That would be an extremely comfortable keyboard, light and compact, while only sacrificing Bluetooth, which really doesn't work effectively anyway.
3. I would bring back the big 0 thumbkey on the number pad. I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to accomplish this; maybe lose the "control" button and build that function in elsewhere, maybe. But for people who need a tenkey, we NEED a tenkey. We are entering data, and to constantly look at the keyboard to make sure I'm hitting a diminutive "0" key (the most commonly pressed key in data entry), it's too distracting.
If the company make bluetooth sleep function user-selectable and remapped the keys to accommodate a bigger 0 numpad key, I would be very happy. OR
If the company made a model that scrapped Bluetooth altogether, and made this a really slim beast by removing the battery and building half-high keys, AND remapped the numkey (see above) I would be equally blissfully happy. In fact I would probably buy them both and give them both 5 star reviews.
Aside from those issues, for a compact keyboard with mechanical keys and a number pad, this keyboard really delivers.
Something I would have liked a wristrest. They do sell one separately, which i am sure helps reduce cost for the keyboard itself, however the bottom side of the keyboard is not magnetic so you may have trouble with it moving around if you have your keyboard on a plush deskpad like myself. Also, the model i got had Gateron G Pro Browns. I love the feeling, but they really are a switch meant for heavy handed typing. I do sometimes miss keystrokes cuz i stop when i feel the bump, but the actuation point is a little bit past the bump. For use for purely typing, I am gonna have a hard time finding something that beats it but I would recommend the hit swappable version to easily switch them out if needed.
this is my daily driver at work, i have a Razer huntsman at home.
The clickiness is definitely much more refined than the gaming board i have at home, but a very enjoyable experience. The keys dont have too much travel, the sound isnt overbearing and works well with my work environment and typing while on calls. Worth the price.
