Customer Reviews:
I purchased this keyboard not for gaming but mostly for typing. I suffer from familial tremor (AKA Essential tremor) and it makes typing a real challenge. I am a ‘touch typist’ and using a typical membrane-type keyboard, with the tremor, I found that I was unintentionally taping the wrong keys or getting multiple presses on keys I wanted to type. I’ve found that with this keyboard having more ‘key-press resistance’ and longer throw, my typing has improved significantly. Way fewer accidental keystrokes and almost zero duplicate keys. The keyboard is very solid and heavy and seems well-built, so I expect many years use from it. I haven’t owned it long enough to know how good the battery life is, but I expect it’s good as they keyboard seems to go to sleep after a bit of non use. It wakes up fast and always transmits the first key pressed, so it not a problem with one exception – if your first letter is a capital, the keyboard, on waking up, misses that you are holding down the shift key. So you have to press and release and press again (and hold) the shift key to get a capital. Note that this only happens when it was sleeping – during normal typing, there are no issues. **EDIT** – After upgrading the firmware, this is no longer an issue! Upping this to 5-stars! | Over-all, though, I’m very happy with this keyboard. Tremor causing my typing skills to go from 80+ WPM with 100% accuracy to under 20 WPM and 20%+ error rate was very frustrating. With this keyboard, I’m still not where I was, but I’m at least back up to 30 WPM and 1% error – a significant improvement over membrane keyboards.
