Mistel BAROCCO MD770 RGB Wireless Split Mechanical Keyboard, TKL Ergonomic Gaming Keyboard 85 Keys (Cherry MX Red Switches, Linear Lighter)

I got the keyboard 2 days ago and can honestly say that I cannot miss it anymore!As I stopped counting how many different keyboards I had over time - I can honestly say that I do recommend this one!The goods:- Super keyboard feeling , didn't have a single typo anymore (as many other keyboards produce unwanted double / no keys)- Ergonomic keyboard layout (split keyboard)- Keyboard is small (compared to others) while still having the same sized key caps- Yes - the keyboard has cursor keys! (not like another one I have which is really hard to get used to without)- Battery build in in case the power gets turned off - so settings do not get quickly lost- USB-c- BT- Lots of additional functionality (e.g. on keyboard programmability and very colorful illumniation)- The price is correctThe things which would make it an even better one would be:- The illumniation is a pure "below the keys illumination" - which is less useful than having the letters being illumniated (this is my biggest ask for improvement :) )- As I have a KVM which requires Prt Screen and Num LOck (which are both absent on the keyboard) it requires to have another keyboard close by. Would be awesome to be able to add those keys via double function onto another key (e.g. Fn+ [ or so).- There is no way to see the remaining battery power of the keyboard. Neither on the keyboard nor on the computer. (Didn't try BT yet - maybe that reports it)- All settings are gone once the battery is empty (a bit of static ram would help)Last sidenote: Both sides have a USB-C Plug, but only the right one is able to drive both sides. I did of course start with the wrong side...

I've been using this keyboard for about 6 months now, and I'm pretty much happy and satisfied with the MD770 RGB Wireless.Comfort - 5/5I'm behind a computer for 90% of my time at work work so having an ergonomic split keyboard is very useful and comfortable for me. What prompted me initially to buy the MD770 was wrist pain, and after some weeks of using this keyboard, as well as rest at home and using immobilizing braces on my hands at night, the pains went away. I won't credit this keyboard with miraculously curing the strain on my hands, but it certainly helped!Usefulness - 4/5......In the Office and At HomeEvery day I take this keyboard to work and use it in the office, connected via bluetooth to my work laptop. When I'm at home, I plug it in and use it for playing video games. I usually play FPS and RTS games, so I've never had an issue with missing keys, but I suppose people who play RPG's like WoW would be limited by a missing numpad and other buttons.This can be (mostly) fixed by just buying a separate num pad. I use a bluetooth numpad to accompany this keyboard at work and at home.......EfficiencyIt took some getting use to but I my typing speed has increased and I've found that the split keyboard configuration is generally more efficient to use, because I don't have to move my hand around so much to reach for keys anymore. I would choose the MD770 or any other split keyboard over a regular one any day.......Bluetooth ConnectivityI don't usually have a problem with connecting the MD770 to my devices, but sometimes it takes a few tries or even a device restart to get it connected. I suspect it's because of all the BT and 2.5ghz signals in the office disrupting the connection, or maybe it's just the keyboard. In any case, it doesn't really bother me, as I can always just plug it in with a USB-C cable into my laptop and use it immediately.I do really appreciate the fact that it can configured to connect to several devices. I've paired my MD770 with my work laptop, my personal laptop, and tablet and can USUALLY switch between them seamlessly.......MacrosHonestly, this could have been a 5/5 for overall usefulness but I just don't like how the MD770 doesn't have any accompanying macro software that comes with it to change key assignments. Instead, if you want to macro a key to something else, you need to configure it using the keyboards various macro layers and button combinations. This is far too complicated for me, a casual keyboard user to use, but is something keyboard enthusiasts might be into. It's definitely not my thing, and I couldn't care less about it.Battery Life - 3/5The one thing I'm actually disappointed by is the MD770's short battery life. It's a major complaint in many of the reviews, but I DO want to point out that the battery life is largely affected by the light effects on the keyboard. With lights on, I've found that it can last between 1-2 hours without being plugged in, which is pretty pointless if you ask me. Why even bother putting flashy lights on a bluetooth product if it can't survive more than an hour with the lights on?At the very least, you can stretch out the battery life to more than 8+ hours on bluetooth if you keep the lights off on the keyboard. Like I said, I use this keyboard at work everyday with bluetooth turned on (without the lights), then plug it in at home to charge (I use the fancy lights at home because they're cool). You can use it while it's charging so as long as you charge it every night, you will probably not see any interruptions throughout your daily use.Aesthetic and Feel - 3/5......TextureMy MD770 came with blue keys and a black frame, as well as extra keys which I installed onto my bluetooth numpad to match. The keys are textured and feel nice to the touch, and since they're textured, they don't reflect the sheen left behind by oils or sweat! The material also cleans well with alcohol-water (I don't recommend using cleaning wipes or anything with bleach, as it'll destroy the material eventually).......BacklightingThe reason why I gave this a 3/5 instead of a 4/5 is the fact that the lights on the keyboard don't illuminate the keys very well. The LED's are oriented in such a way that they shine around the keys, so that the lights are in your eyes instead of illuminating the keys you should be looking at. It's bearable at dimmer settings, but it's distracting as hell when set to max in a dark room while playing video games.My old keyboard's backlighting illuminated the keys and allowed me to see them in the dark (the letters themselves were lit up) but the MD770 can barely accomplish even that.VerdictAll things considered, I'd give the MD770 a 4/5. It's not perfect, especially with the poor backlighting and disappointingly-short battery life, but it suits my daily purposes at work and at home and for that I cannot really complain. Overall, I'm satisfied with this keyboard, and expect to use it for many years to come.

The split design took some getting used to, but now that I'm used to it going back to a regular keyboard feels so cramped. I also love that you get so much functionality without any software required, as I frequently switch between Mac and PC.Also, customer support is excellent. I live in Colorado where the weather in winter is very dry and static electricity is a constant issue. I destroyed the left side keyboard with a particularly strong static discharge. After a few months of working on a cramped keyboard again, I contacted Mistel about replacing just the left side and they were very helpful and prompt. I almost forgot how much nicer it is to work and type on a split keyboard.

Loved it at first it was tented and sounded great. We have had the keyboard a few months and it won’t charge.

I've been keyboard warrioring for the last 30 years, grappling with ergonomics as I get older, fatter, and lose time to stretch daily to achieve the perfect dad bod.Jokes aside, this replaced a Realforce 87U Topre that I used for ~15 years. I loved the feel of the keyboard but becoming a dad over a gym rat, lost mobility in my chest from home row placement. I tried a few ergonomic alternatives - Truly Ergonomic, Ergodex, Kinesis Freestyle (old scissor style) over the decades. This is a natural feel to keep the chest opened and back tight.A++. I'll have my kids build a shrine to this keyboard when they come of age!

As other reviewers have said the wireless is shoddy and I spent hours trying to get it to work. What is the point of buying a wireless keyboard if it doesn't work?The screw to fasten down the footpad for the keyboard was too big so couldn't use it.The positive is the keyboard is solid and feels really good. If only the 2 things above worked it would have been 5 stars.

I returned this product because the manual basically states, "when fully charged, the keyboard will only have power for 30 minutes."30 minutes? Why even make it wireless at that point?
