Summarized Review

  • Very functional. Love the feel of striking the keys and it emits just the right amount of click/sound. -Looks good. Grey color matches that of my laptop. -Easy to pair upon setup. -Quickly connects when awaking computer from sleep mode, though sometimes with a very slight lag. By habit now, I'll usually hit the shift or arrow key to give it a jolt.

  • This keyboard has a very good touch. Instantly read to use.

  • OMG where has this keyboard been all my life? Solar powered and full sized Bluetooth with number keypad? Take my money NOW! I was going to buy a solar keyboard but it wasn’t Bluetooth. Then I used multiple Bluetooth keyboards that weren’t solar. This keyboard does it all!

  • Although the battery life is simply not even worth discussing due to the super cool solar panels, the stability is something that deserves the negative type of attention. Unfortunately, the keyboard disconnects and lags very often — way more than my other bluetooth devices. Even so, I’m overall still happy with the purchased, especially because it is a very ecological product.

  • After a short pause typing, it can the take a few seconds for the keyboard to reconnect again. Which means you loose the first few letters of what you type.
