Pricey, solidly built, heavy

I have just gotten this keyboard, and honestly, writing this review is part of my testing of the keyboard.My reason for purchasing this keyboard is that I had used a few Logitech home theater keyboards that had an integrated touchpad and rechargeable batteries. I loved the convenience of those keyboards, and other than some cheap folding keyboards that never worked quite right, I wasn't able to find anything similar until I saw this, and have been looking forward to the release.The keyboard is rather quiet, especially compared to the Kenisis and Kenisis Gaming keyboards. The keys are a slim design but still feel solid and register keypresses quite well. The build quality is quite solid - if I drop this keyboard, I think I would be more worried about damaging the floor than the keyboard. Bluetooth setup was quick and easy, as is switching between two computers at the flip of a switch. The caps lock and connection indicators are neatly hidden behind the touchpad.I will say I was surprised, resting the keyboard in my lap to use in a home theater or leaning back in my office chair was very comfortable. The split keyboard design does take a little getting used to if you are not familiar with their wired keyboards, however the split is perfect for use in the lap as it lets your arms be in a more natural position, making fast touch typing pretty easy. I was not expecting it to be so comfortable.There have only been two detractors so far, neither serious enough for me to take points off. The first is the weight. This keyboard is surprisingly heavy, solid aluminum build. When I said I worry about damaging the floor if I drop this 2 pound (seriously! two pounds!) keyboard, I meant it.The second issue is that although the trackpad is very smooth on my Windows 11 gaming PC, there is a bit of jumpiness when moving the mouse on my Windows 10 laptop. I used another bluetooth trackpad with both computers to compare and that did not have the same issue. Not sure if it is a driver issue, or setting that might be affecting this.All in all, this is a very nice, solid, well designed and well built keyboard. After using it for a few hours for work, personal use and writing this review, I am quite happy with it. For me, so far, it is worth the price.

Not suitable for mac

I bought this to use as a media center keyboard primarily for controlling a macbook air in clamshell mode connected to a TV. I might be able to get over the lack of a dedicated click (drag and drop is a nightmare) but inertial scrolling does not work at all. I tried all 3 firmwares: windows, mac and basic mouse but none of them are compatible with scroll inertia. For reference, my logitech k830 works out of the box. Given how essential scrolling is to streaming websites and finder, this makes the touchpad effectively unusable for my use case. As a result, I will be returning it.Which is a shame because it's a beautiful and well made device. The bluetooth switch lets me additionally connect to my PC, which I also use on the TV from time to time. It works flawlessly for windows. Pairing was easy and the range on the bluetooth seems at least on par with my K830. The positioning of the touch pad in the center is much more ergonomic than other media center keyboards that have it on the right. Typing is very comfortable and accurate.I would have rated 5 stars if not for the overstated mac compatibility, as I consider inertial scrolling a bare minimum. I was prepared for the lack of gesture support, but the lack of support for inertial scrolling should have been stated in the product description.

No good - Design/Manufacturing Defect - Amazon/Manufacturer will not answer calls/emails

The bluetooth does not work, Otherwise, the keyboard feels good.So, after I got two of these keyboards, I strongly say "DO NOT BUY!!!" The manufacturer will not answer calls or return web ticket requests.Also, Amazon is not that helpful. Amazon say they will send you a return label. Then, they do not.

I wanted to Iike it.

Took over ten try’s to connect Bluetooth. Doesn’t have drag and drop feature on track pad. When it did finally connect had high disconnect rate. Does not play well with Mac.
