Great wireless keyboard for under $150
I was skeptical of ordering this keyboard because of the layout, however it exceeded my expectations. Extremely smooth typing and feels really nice. If you want a nice wireless keyboard without spending too much this is the one. Minus one star becuase the launcher/software could use some work.

Nice keyboard, not easy to handle the colors
The mechanical keys on this are nice, but at least on a Mac, the colors were difficult to manage, though this is my first keyboard with that as an option.
