If backlighting is important to you, it's better to look at something else.

22 November 2020

So, the keyboard itself is membrane and quite okay, the backlight is spotty but done very well and evenly, and you can only see that it's spotty if you look very closely. It has two rubberized feet and two flip-up feet for height adjustment. The feet are grippy, and the keyboard doesn't slip. The overall feel is decent. The keyboard passed the spacebar test, conditionally; the travel of all keys, including the spacebar, is good and quiet, except for the spacebar. If you touch it lightly, it makes noise. Now more about the backlight: the brightness is adjustable, and so here are two sides of the coin. In the dark, the keys are visible, and that's super convenient. The downside is that you should set the brightness to maximum since lowering the brightness works via PWM (flickering). When you look at the monitor and then shift your gaze to the keyboard, it makes you feel nauseous because it's very obvious that it flickers. When the brightness is at maximum, it hurts your eyes due to the bright external light from the keyboard. The USB cable is normal; it could be worse, but it's quite a decent cable.

Decent appearance
Normal key presses, haven't checked the number of simultaneous presses, but there were no problems
Backlighting, no need to squint searching for a key, and the backlight itself is even
Quality cardboard box, the cat appreciated it

The engraving on the keys is done with very good quality paint, but I'm afraid it's not permanent, though time will tell. The PWM from the key backlighting is unpleasant to use at reduced brightness, and even at maximum brightness, it's not the best it can be—this is a significant disadvantage because it questions the purpose of this backlighting. The spacebar is noisy, but it's tolerable. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the drawbacks within the first few days.
