Looked real nice, and worked okay, for 2-3 days!
This puppy is going back.. I read the negative reviews (the only ones that you can trust), but I bought it anyhow because the allure of lighted key caps was so inviting, and my vision is not so good. And it looked great for about 2-3 days. Then I started to get double or triple key-press entries for some keys pressed. Widespread, but not even 50% of the keys.. enough however to render the keyboard unusable. And having cut my electronics teeth at KeyTronics (a high-end keyboard manufacturer).. I know that it is not so hard to make a good keyboard. This is a noisy keyboard, has kind of a long travel for the keys and there is virtually no tactile feedback (except when you bottom out). The feedback is mostly auditory. The LED color selections, and dimming capability are nice, but first and foremost, the keyboard must function as a keyboard. I've come to an obvious conclusion - I would say "Do Not Buy". I'll never buy any revision of this, nor any product, from this company again. You only get 1 chance to trick me. This one was your chance. To lure me back is going to require extraordinary improvement. If they read these reviews (the manufacturer), which they should, because Amazon is probably their biggest customer, then they would know how to improve it. 1. Make it work reliably 2. Dedicated Hibernate key (screen blank) 3. Clear key for the calculator 4. Add tactile feedback (this will be tough, requires higher quality switches) But the concept is fantastic. Why can't they just make this thing work? My opinion: Avoid :)
