    For a first keyboard this is pretty awesome. I do miss not having a number pad, but I will order that separately. The large buttons are programmable so I have them set to lock my work PC when I walk away.

    Feels and works great. Everything overall has a well built feel. My sole criticism is that I am unable to locate a method for mapping the joystick that is included with the device.

    A great retro looking keyboard. Good built quality for the price. It reminds me my first keyboard from 1993. It came with the joysticks which is a plus. It doesn't have backlit keys which is not an issue for me.
