My hubby and entered the world of mechanical keyboards over the last year or so, and like many who do, have started to build a bit of a collection. This is the smallest in our "fleet", and our first *magnetic* keyboard. With this form factor, you get no F-keys at the top row, and only a single row for Del, Pg Up/Dn, and arrow keys tucked into the bottom right corner in lieu of a second Ctrl key.Hubby says he didn't expect to like a keyboard this tiny as much as he does, but so far he hasn't run into a single scenario where he really misses the F-keys (apparently his only known use is to toggle absolutes in Excel) and has adapted to (and now prefers) the placement of the Pg Up/Pg Dn, and Del keys on the side. He says that the compact size has two great benefits:1. It barely takes up any space on our desks at all with the small form factor2. the slightly tighter layout requires less travel between keys, resulting in a faster typing speedAs far features unrelated to the size/form factor - things we love are:1. I'll never get over the sound - this keyboard has a great single "click" for every key that bottoms out, not a crunchy, muted sound, but a solid "tick tick tick" for every-single-key. Love it.2. This one will be more controversial, but the design is kind of extreme but really cool, with the flowing lines across the keyboard that flow from one side to the other and then invert the effect for the solid yellow sections. It almost has a reptilian look.3. all connectivity and buttons are on the back - we aren't fans of side ports and switches, so having everything hidden allows for cleaner wire running, less things bumping buttons on the side, etc.4. The LED effects are bright and look awesome against the already dynamic design on the keys5. The design with the labeling on the side of the key, rather than the top just looks elite. Functionally, it is still just as visible, if not more than when the labels are on the top of the keys, because the side points to use as a user. Totally just a cool-factor thing, but we love it.As far as things we don't like about this keyboard.... well, we honestly struggle to come up with any other than that we would have appreciated having a home and end key (two other helpful Excel keys), but we may solve that through some creative key re-mapping. Overall, it's a serious piece of fun and productivity hardware and it nails all of the key requirements. With the noise it makes, it's not something you would use when you're sitting next to your partner in the middle of the night while they try to sleep, so I guess I could say that it's not usable in all situations/scenarios, but you probably already know that if you're buying a mechanical keyboard.Full disclosure, we haven't even begun to delve into the nuances and added functionality that the "hall effect" magnetic switches give us, but are aware that there is untapped potential there that we haven't even scratched the surface on.Overall - great little thing with a loud, but cool, design. Definitely our favorite in the keyboard "fleet" at the moment.
