    Customers like the size of the keyboard. They say it's sleek and compact, and it fits under a laptop shelf. It's easy to carry and frees up desk space. The keyboard is good enough and has tilting and large enough not to have cramps. It works great with their Cintiq and fits well under the screen.

    "...keyboard, this keyboard is smaller and flat, which makes it easier to carry, the Bluetooth connection is pretty stable, and the keys are comfortable..." Read more

It relies on four CR2032 batteries, which are not rechargeable. Overall, the product is well-built and durable, but the battery is not recharge-able.

    I paid 70, but not even worth the 30 dollars it currently is priced at.
    Seemed like a perfectly constructed keyboard when I first purchased it. However...Materials:After a short time, within a month or two the finish began to rub off of the keys most used. Check the photo included.Pairing:Once paired it seemed to work fine for a while but then now and then it would need to be repaired. Now for some reason, it refuses to pair on channel 1, channel one appears locked. I unlocked the Fn key to ensure that was not the issue. It was time to get a new PC so, I built a new PC to rule out the PC of course. Same issue, not pairing. I had this paired to my Main PC, a Macbook Pro, and a Samsung S7+ tablet.Battery Life:I purchased the unit in late October and the low battery warning at 25% came on within 2 months and hit 0% at 8 months. I realize that math does not make sense. To note that brand new the battery showed 50% as did the replacement batteries that were put in about a month ago as I type, on my new Logitech K380.There does not seem to be a way to reset or clear the pairing channels. I took the batteries out and turned it off and on, it still would not pair. Microsoft support is not helpful.I would NOT recommend purchasing this keyboard since the box of 2032 3V lithium batteries I bought specifically for this keyboard outlasted the keyboard.

    Using the F1 key for changing connection to another device is not as good as I wish. The body and key quality is not very good, but it works for me. I love the minimal design but I wish to had a small tilt
    in comparison with my Logitech MX mini, everything is less responsive and quality is lower, but you are paying half
