The wired connection is good, but the key feel is a bit stiff.

The wired connection is good, but the key feel is a bit stiff.
I had higher hopes for this keyboard, but the keycaps feel very plasticky. They also smudge easily, which detracts from the overall appearance after only a short time of use. Typing just isn't very satisfying.
Integrated well with my Mac, the dedicated keys are very useful.
I've been using this keyboard for a few weeks now and it has significantly improved my productivity. The full numeric pad is essential for my data entry tasks, and the adjustable backlight means I can work comfortably in any lighting condition. Setup was instantaneous with the USB-C connection, and it looks really clean on my desk. Would recommend for any Mac user.
Love the slim profile and how well it matches my Mac.
