PC Tech Thread

I love it and hate it depends on what I am doing. This is my first mechnical keyboard so I am not used to the much deeper keys and the sound it makes. I have been a life long Mac users so I am much more used to the Mac keyboards with much shallower keys.

Objectively speaking though, I think it is a very nice keyboard, I am thinking of getting a palm rest, which is something I have never used in my life, because the keyboard is a lot thicker than most keyboard out there. In fact, the company recommends a palm rest. Why so thick? Because the batter is larger than average... The problem is there is no battery indicator so I don't know how long it actually last in real life, so I just charge it when I charge my mouse, which is probably OOT...

But yeah, overall, I enjoy using it when I am not annoyed by the sound, but then it's not the keyboard's fault as all mechnical keyboard make the same sort of sound, I already chose the quieter keys... not sure if it's any better than any other mechnical / gaming keybaords out there.

Having saying all this, I am considering buying a USB wireless keyboard or a longer cable for this keyboard (becaucse my machine is about a good 1.5 away from where I sit). It would seem there is a bug with the Bluetooth on Win 10 - the Bluetooth keeps discounting for micro seconds, so I consantly have to wake up the keyboard even just after not typing for a little as a min, which is perfectly normal if you are looking at something.... I initially thought it was the keyboard but I never had the same issue with it was paired with my Mac and obviously I have now tested it with my Bluetooth mouse and have done some Internet search... The only way to resolve it is to restart the computer... I have had this machine for 2 weeks and I have had to restart it 4 times so far because of this.

I was watching the Device Manager the other day and OMG, it kept flashing every few seconds and the status of both my keyboard and Bluetooh mouse kept changing from paired to connected... it was well weird. I hope there is a fix soon...

And by the way, whilst it comes with the Win /cmd keys and a couple of other keys to allow you to swtich between Win / Mac layouts, they have forgotten the @ is the ' key on Win so there ain't @ as the ' key and " as the 2 key for you to switch, which might bother some people... I don't know, I get confused sometimes simply because of my Mac background...
