The battery life is really disappointing on this keyboard, nowhere near the 95 hours claimed. I have to charge it every few days with moderate use, which is a major inconvenience. Everything else is fine, but this one aspect really drags it down.
Setup on my Linux machine was completely plug and play. Very happy with the performance.
The feel of the Gateron low-profile switches is excellent for typing, and the PBT keycaps are a nice touch. However, I've had some intermittent drops with the Bluetooth connection to my Windows PC, which is frustrating during work calls.
Finally a full-size low-profile mechanical keyboard with ISO layout! The responsiveness is excellent.
This keyboard is a dream for coding. The ISO German layout is exactly what I needed, and the hot-swappable switches make customization easy. The ultra-slim design also saves a lot of desk space compared to my old board.
