What reviewers say

Reviewers mostly find the wave shape and cushioned palm rest comfortable, and note very quiet typing, long battery life and easy connection to three devices. Opinions on the keys differ: RTINGS found them somewhat mushy and the layout cramped, and PC Gamer found typing lifeless and the ergonomics too basic, while TechRadar and Trusted Reviews rated it highly for office work.
