    Good keyboard. Bad touchpad.

    Bought for media-center PC running Linux. Easy to setup, works well, the keyboard is very nice to type on, but the touchpad is inexcusably bad for a 100chf device.

    Windows 10, Mac OS and new Linux versions are all built     around multitouch, but this device doesn't support that. 

    Pro

    • Feels surprisingly good for typing
    • Worked out of the box on Linux (libinput, linux-4.6, wayland)
    • Integrated battery with long charging cable (no need for AA batteries, reduced waste)
    • Three backlight levels (high, low, off)
    • Stable - no missed or duplicate keys. (Only tested at <3m range)

    Contra

    • The touchpad is straight out of 2005. No multitouch, no high-resolution scrolling, no middle click
    • Switching function-keys to F1-F12 requires software support (e.g. patched Solaar app on linux)
    • It's a fingerprint magnet

    Overalal a pleasure to use, if you can spend this much on wireless keyboard

    US layout illuminated keyboard with high quality keys and touchpad and built-in rechargeable batteries

    Pro

    • Keys have a premium feel
    • Touchpad is better than on cheaper wireless models of this brand
    • Stylish
    • Illumination works well
    • No need to replace batteries, charges over USB
    • Heavier and thus more stable than cheaper models
    • I have no problems with wireless reception quality

    Contra

    • Charging is over USB but this does not provide a keyboard connection, which would have been nice
    • Default is media instead of F keys
    • F key numbers are dark red, not illuminated, so invisible
    • Left hand mouse button helpflul but here it is on the side
    • Corners of keys and keyboard feel a bit sharp - aestetics dominates ergonomics
    • Somewhat over-priced

    Perfect device with Nvidia Shield TV

    Perfect match for Nvidia Shield TV using bluetooth. Works well with existing unifying receiver. Wish they included a wired option and it would have been a perfect all around keyboard/trackball.

    Pro

    • Easy to configure connections
    • Keyboard and trackball in a compact package thus easy stowaway
    • Just right illumination for home theater setups
    • Great battery life
