This keyboard definitely is quirky. Only having one CMD key instead of one either side of the space bar takes some getting used to, along with the FN key being to the right of the space bar instead of in the bottom left corner like normal. But my fingers adjusted within a few hours of using it, and I definitely type faster on this keyboard than any other I've used.
I really really like the return lever that they've included. I actually use it more than the regular return key. You can also program the lever to "press" any other key or combination of keys that you like. For a while, I tried it to replace pressing CMD and I together for italics, which was really handy. I just missed using it to enter!! It also makes good sense as a tab button, because of the pushing action, but the tab key is so close that I can't justify that. I use it a good deal when I'm doing something with my mouse that also requires pressing enter a lot, like when I'm entering citations from Zotero into my word processor. It is definitely quicker because my left hand is already close to it.
The main issue I have with the keyboard is that it doesn't have a backlight. This isn't a deal-breaker for me, but I definitely didn't notice that until I used it. Because this is my desk keyboard and I won't travel with it, I rarely use it in the dark because I always have my desk light on if I'm working late, (and I suppose it's true to typewriters which also didn't have them!) but it just seems like something you expect on most keyboards for this price.
I've had no issue with the bluetooth connectivity, and I've yet to run out of charge, although I do have it plugged in pretty regularly.
One of my favorite features is the iPad stand (shown in pictures) which they seem to have improved on from earlier versions because I find that the iPad fits well and isn't too upright. (I have an iPad Pro 12.9 2020 with a leather case on it.) This feature is AWESOME and when you've got the right app up, really emulates the typewriting experience.
All in all, I'm very happy with this product, it was worth the money, and I absolutely love it!
