I FOUND MY DREAM KEYBOARD!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a compact, tenkeyless, chiclet-style keyboard, then this is the best option on the market right now. I've been looking for YEARS for this exact keyboard - that's like a laptop keyboard transported onto a desktop. But nobody has ever brought one to market that I liked. Also, just because it's created by Microsoft doesn't mean you can't use it with a mac! I'm using it with a mac right now and it works seamlessly after switching the option and command buttons in the keyboard settings. Previously, the only keyboard to come close was the Logitech K811 and K810, but those were discontinued years ago. I've tried the Logitech K380, but the circle-shaped keys took some adjustment and I found that it slowed my typing speed by 33%. I tried the Logitech MX Keys and the Surface Keyboard, but their large number pads that I never use were terrible for my own ergonomic preferences. I tried the Apple Magic Keyboard but it hasn't been updated for over 5 years and the clicky feel of the keyboard was a little too sharp on the fingers. The best keyboard for me until this moment was actually an Apple Magic Keyboard Case for iPad + Sidecar to a mac, but that's missing an escape key as well as the ability to command + tab, b, i, etc. (I dealt with it by remapping those options to my mouse...). As a programmer, my keyboard is probably the tool I use most often in my life. The fact that someone finally made my dream keyboard makes me life that much better. So to conclude my rant. If you want a great "laptop" keyboard for your desktop setup. THIS IS IT!

uses four coin-cell (C2032)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great in size and weight. Easy to carry in a backpack. Bluetooth connection is a plus. the only thing I don't like about it is the batteries. It uses four coin-cell (C2032) batteries. make sure you have spare batteries at all times. I would prefere a rechargable battery or a AA/AAA bateries which you can find easily at home or any retail shop.

Great for small desk
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great size for a small desk user like me but if you have multiple razer products that use Bluetooth you will experience some lag. I tried using one usb Bluetooth connection for both of my wireless device but it still cause some lag. But one thing I noticed is that positioning of the device also matters to reduce lags.

Descent product from Microsoft
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great compact keyboard for windows but I miss the right CTRL key. Otherwise it’s been working fine. You can map the snip key to CTRL but again you need another application running in the background.

A great Compact keyboard for working on the go
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work construction; I keep this in my vest and am able to pop it out and use it at a moments notice.
