compact, wireless & customizable

Pros: Compact design allows for more room for other things on my desk. Elegant minimalist design. Easily configurable keys and macros. Light effects, while not something i'm usually into, the "heat map" setting actually makes me want to type faster! 3 ways of connecting to the PC is handy.

Cons: Battery life could be a tad better, been using for 2 weeks and its already at 2/10 battery. The space key sometimes sticks a little if pressing on the far right side. I miss the number pad from my full keyboard.. but im getting used to it, and worth it for the smaller footprint for me.

Fantastic keyboard

My first better keyboard and I am absolutely satisfied. We'll see how it works after a longer time. I just thought of one small thing, I have nowhere to hide the receiver when I leave with just the laptop and I want to leave the keyboard at home. Like you can with some mice where you can hide the receiver inside.
