## Description

Buy

Review: Great little keyboard - Compact and well made. Slight deck flex but nothing significant Good short travel key feel, and pleasant tactile typing experience. I'm able to type faster than my old keyboard as a result. Dips in the keys make orientation on the keyboard easier. Useful configurable function keys certainly in Linux anyway. Battery life has been good no recharging in the last month easily greater than 40 hours and going strong. Paired flawlessly in windows and Linux and possible to use with same dongle as same brand mouse with a couple of steps Only criticisms are that as other people have noted that some of the indicator lights don't go out until further key press occurs and no caps lock indicator. Not an issue for touch typing. Edit ***** The battery was problematic a few days ago. Customer service was excellent. Despite the time difference I had a reply in less than 24 hours and quibble free a replacement was dispatched and is charged and working already. I can't recommend them enough. Would be happy to buy again without a worry now I see they stand by the 2 year guarantee.
Review: Clicky but not clacky if that makes sense - Great little keyboard in a small form factor but still has all the key features like a full numeric pad. The buttons feel like a laptop keypad which is fine by me, I was worried it my have a "dead flesh" feel about it (Sinclair Spectrum) but it feels very positive but not noisy. It has an on/off switch and I was worried I would need to turn it on and off to save the battery but its been fine for months without turning off, battery indicator still shows full. Its just a shame it dosent have drop down feet to angle it towards you a little but thats just a minor niggle

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Generally excellent
*by N***B on 26 February 2025*

Great keyboard, lightweight and responsive. One small niggle for me (which is why I only give 4 out if 5) - there's no number lock light. So I'm constantly trying to type numbers and finding that I'm moving around the screen instead because the number lock is off. Have decided to buy another model from the same brand but with a number lock light.
