Great typing experience but spotty Bluetooth makes it useless
Not sure if this was a defective unit or what. First, as everyone has said: it looks great, and it's very pleasant to type on. I use a mechanical keyboard at work (Cherry MX Brown) and a buckling-spring USB keyboard at home, and this ranks up there with those in typing pleasure. I did some phantom typing on it while waiting for it to charge and was really impressed with the build quality and the typing experience. A couple of build quibbles: the space bar is noticeably different from the other key caps and feels cheap in comparison, and scroll knobs (which I'd hoped would be functional for, y'know, scrolling) are fixed, plasticky, and similarly cheap feeling. Those are pretty minor and ancillary quibbles, though. The real problem is this: when connected to a brand new iPad Pro, over the course of an hour's use, it lost many keystrokes, doubled others, and at one point insisted it was connected while not registering any keystrokes at all. Reorienting the iPad made no difference. When it was registering keystrokes correctly, there was also often noticeable lag between keypress and printing to the screen--sometimes I'd think it had disconnected and then two or three entire words would show up at once. If this offered a hardwired connection, it would be easy to recommend. As it is, though, it sure doesn't seem ready for prime time--and definitely not at this price point.
