" ... Great feel as you type and at a great angle for me when on the risers. ... "
" ... I do have the unfortunate situation where the 'W' key has to be pushed down all the way and is very sensitive to this before it notices it. ... "
" ... For the record, when they start to go, it's because the keys don't 'bounce' and 'type' as smoothly as before, but no issues with keys failing. ... "

" ... Bottom line - Cheap and good design, but bad quality could push this to a 1 year use only situation. ... "
" ... CON: the so called LEGS that fold out in right and left front corners DO NOT LOCK, therefore are flimsy and easily fold up, making the keyboard a 'delicate flower' or you will constantly be folding legs back out again. ... Someday may look into superglue or a 'permanent solution,, legs that LOCK would solve the issue. ... ONE star deducted for leg design flaw. ... "
