What reviewers say
Reviewers find it comfortable and easy to type on, very quiet and light for a full-size keyboard, with long battery life and strong value for money. The common criticisms are the lack of a backlight and plain looks; RTINGS found the materials somewhat cheap-feeling, and How-To Geek found it hard to clean and repair.
