Poor

I had a disappointing experience with this keyboard.

Delivery Delay: It took more than two weeks to deliver.

Stability Issues: The keyboard is unstable without the two stands. If you prefer not to use the stands, it wobbles annoyingly.

Backlight Limitations: The backlight does not illuminate the letters; it only provides fancy lighting around the keys. Typing in the dark is challenging because the letters are not visible.

They offered to refund 8 pounds due to the keyboard being unstable and wobbly, but I was expecting a replacement instead.

Buy from a seller with a better return policy.

Good build quality but my typing speed has fallen dramatically with many many typos.

Not recommended for people moving from other low profile "laptop-esque" keyboards. You should go for a keyboard with spaces between the keys like laptops do.. The K series (different to the K Max series) would be better suited. Don't make the same mistake as me because the advertised return policy isn't forgiving.

good keyboard

Easy to set up, possibly long lasting thanks to hot swappable switches and keycaps both of which are available from the seller as well.
After programming for about two weeks, the only issue is some switches (backspace is the most offensive) are sticking and start deleting line after line. I can easily reverse it most of the time but it can be extremely distracting and possibly unstoppable depending on the OS hence 4 stars.

Awesome keyboard

Quality keyboard, good design, top quality. Delivery was slow because it was an international shipment, but worth the waiting.

Plastic, not leather

I like the colour and design but I was expecting a real leather pouch but this is made of PU. Leather comes from animals, this is not leather. For £25 plus shipping this is way over priced. I could have bought something else for half this cost
