Ergoguys Llc FK418BTLSB Matias Backlit Wireless Keyboard Black

I like the keyboard and the feel. I like the back lighting. I purchased it to be able to switch between a primary Windows Computer, a Windows notebook and a Macbook Pro. It does that well. But my main issue is that there is sometimes a delay or missed keystrokes when I am typing fast and I am not a fast typist. Prior to this one, I had purchased a different bluetooth multi connect keyboard that was much cheaper and it did the same thing except worse. So this may be an experiment that I may use on a different non-critical system. I miss the Logitech K800 non bluetooth keyboard that I was using prior to this and I may end up going back to it.

This keyboard is much too expensive for what it is. At $20-30 I would rate as a 4, because it does work well PROVIDED YOU USE A MAC and you aren't accustomed to PC style keys. As a PC keyboard it has several very damaging flaws, among which: no NUMLOCK key (the user has to remember it's a key labeled "clear") no INSERT key (you have to press Fn and Delete simultaneously, it doesn't always work either).As a keyboard in general: Battery life nowhere near specs, backlighting very poorly done (function keys are ILLEGIBLE in backlight mode as are several other keys) and the keyboard drops connection regularly. I have that keyboard as well as a logitech bluetooth mouse, I have had to remove and reinstall the Matias keyboard 4 times now in 2-3 months of usage to get it to work, whereas the mouse is still configured solidly.I think it says it all that I have to keep a second keyboard handy so that I can log in whenever the Matias keyboard fails to come online upon return from sleep or hibernate.They say the backlight battery lasts up to 2 weeks, the reality is more somewhere around 3 days. The backlighting looks NOTHING like the beautiful, thoroughly misleading picture on their website.DON'T BUY FOR PC. THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING FOR MAC. THE BACKLIGHTING FEATURE MUST NOT BE IMPORTANT TO YOU.

I bought this keyboard as a replacement for an Apple keyboard that I destroyed by spilling Ruby Red on it. I wanted a backlit keyboard that was wireless and had a 10-key. This keyboard fits all of those needs and even has a multi-channel Bluetooth capability for use with multiple devices. The problem is that I find the keyboard hard to type on. It is sluggish on keystrokes and frequently misses a large number of keystrokes. I find that I am having to put too much force into typing just to get it to respond correctly when I type. The result is that if I don't type hard it will miss numerous keystrokes that I typed. All the other features seem nice, but if I can't trust it to get every keystroke, then it's useless to me. Unfortunately, I'll have to box this thing up and send it back, which I hate to do.

I was after a backlit keyboard, it's unfortunate that Apple will not produce any, I would certainly buy one. I guess I expected more. It was a very expensive keyboard, backlit yes, but some areas were more backlit than others, and the light was also showing out of the keyboard. If I'm going to pay over $120 for a keyboard, it better be a nice keyboard or it will get returned

This keyboard is awesome and has an adjustable backlight brightness. The feel is a whole lot better than Apple's Magic keyboard Gen 2. I can vouch for it on my iMac and MacBook Pro, when I tried to use it on my work laptop an HP, it worked for a little bit then got discounted and I didn't want to bother my work's IT dept. to connect it again. But for MAC devices it allows me to use one keyboard on multiple devices. The quality is great, maybe 1% lower than Apples but the key feel is 100% better than Apple's Magic Keyboard 2.

Works essentially as advertised. I'm having some issues with keys being intermittently transmitted (Sometimes I don't end up with all the letters I type), but the multiple connected devices is super nice and reliable. My USB keyboard doesn't always wake up my mac, but this always does, which is nice.

The company never disclosed that in order for this to work with Windows PC you must have a 3.0 DongleIt will not pair of you use a 4.0The 3.0 is very hard to find in a Bluetooth USBU need to make people aware of this cause there are very few PC equipped with BluetoothNO 3.0 USB DONGLE THEN THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS PC UNLESS THE PC IS BLUETOOTHPLEASE BE AWARE

Works as expected. Keyboard keys are so-so. I switch to Dell keyboard they are much more fun to type.

Fantastic addition to any Apple setup especially when you have multiple devices. I can now easily switch between my home and work setup.
