That is not a keyboard stand. That is a stand for your phone, since you can connect to your PC using 2.4 RF and to your phone using Bluetooth, and easily swap between the two via the switch toggle. The biggest issue with this keyboard is the quality control. I have gone through four of them in less than three years (all replaced for free under warranty), but eventually they all have the same issue: a key will double register or not at all. The soldering on the PCB is simply not good enough for heavy use over long term. Swapping now to ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless...
The WOW factor is when you realize that half of the keys double register on 90% of the keystrokes, or sometimes not register at all. Temu keyboard for 15$ are way better
As much as I love this keyboard, it's become intolerable. Just a few months in, it developed double-press issues, missed key issues and chattering issues. Then I went on to reddit and discovered that these are pretty common issues for these keyboards. If you're not encountering them, then you are probably in an environment where there is no dust. Otherwise most of these problems develop due to dust getting into the key switches. Blowing compressed air into them or contact cleaner solves the problem for a while, but then that stops working too. The only amazing thing about is the lightspeed wireless tech that lets you run this keyboard without ever turning it off for MONTHS on end and no perceivable lag at all. Now I'm looking into printing a custom PCB that can use the lightspeed chip and let me use cherry switches instead.
I bought this keyboard in October 2023, to this day the battery says "Good". I haven't had the need to change the batteries and I play games for up to 8 hours some days, I've left it on by accident, and still the battery is full. Maybe there are better keyboard out there, but this one hasn't failed to me yet and again, the battery goes CRAZY.
Avoiiid tthis crap keyboad. It suffers from a chronic issue where most of the keeys doubl ttaap or don't tap a all. There's no slution either. Some say it's a battery issue, some say iis the sftwaree, neeitehr wrks.
I can confirm. I believe this is the hardware issue. Some micro cracks in the base. This can be an explanation why the premium batteries, which holds full 1.5V longer works better. If 1000V jumps 1 mm air gap as spark, additional 0.5V can jump 0.5 micron
I've got a solution for you. The main reason why this happens is due to dust getting into the trash-tier keycaps. A can of compressed air into the affected switch solves the problem ( at least for a while). Sometimes it takes spraying 'contact cleaner'. Sometimes it's due to the battery issue but the solution isn't just changing batteries. You're probably using rechargable batteries or cheap ones (they produce a slightly lower voltage that this keyboard hates). Get the expensive Energizer heavy duty ones for this keeb. Also ensure that the keyboard has a direct line-of-sight with the wireless receiver. If that doesn't work, rue the day you bought this pos that was just a keyswitch away from being top-tier.

You don't need to turn the keybooard off. I never did with mine and battery life is 18 months.
Thank you👍
Thanks 🙏
The wow factor for me was WOW it's only been two months and the paint has already started wearing off the keycaps!
Not being linux friendly was a deal breaker for me. Tks for the review.
DO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD. I got one and it became unusaable due to chattering. I got a second one and the same happened 140 dollars wasted.
I have a Mirco$oft X6 KB thats 13 years old, NO issues...
Many of the keys have faded for me over just 2 years
Give it another year and you'll wish that was the least of your problems.

Yeah, i can totally confirm.
