Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
1. Packaging was a disaster. No outer box, one of the flap inserts was loose and flying around, and the lid seemed re-taped together—maybe refurbished? I don’t know. Surprised nothing was damaged.
2. I received the wrong color, but I won’t bother with returning/exchanging. The color I did receive is bold, bright, very rich.
3. Everything functions as expected. USB connected within seconds of being plugged in (Windows 10). Need only one AA battery each for the keyboard and mouse. Mouse wheel has a nice traction. The left thumb button goes back a page on your browser. The keys are higher, allowing for a more tactile typing action that I like. Also, the key surfaces have a “matte” feel that I prefer, not shiny-smooth, and allows the fingertips more grip. They base of the keyboard has two feet you can flip open to raise the front of the keyboard. They seem slightly flimsy, so flip with care. One nice thing is that there is a light indicator that seems to show battery life.
4. The only thing annoying thing I noticed is that not all Alt key shortcuts work, but they ones with the 4-digit symbol codes work fine.
Overall exactly what I needed for the job. If I had gotten my preferred color, would be even happier.
UPDATE: After 7 months of heavy use (I am a tech writer and copy editor), the keys just couldn't handle the abuse. Great little keyboard otherwise, but I need something that will retain its markings.

UPDATE: Quirky look, smooth operation, bad paint job
