It's a perfectly respectable keyboard for 'classic' computer work. It's excellent value for money, and I'd recommend it.
For a keyboard at this price, there's nothing to say, not the quietest, but like all keyboards in this price bracket. The multimedia keys are practical.
I find it pleasant to use.
I don't know what a higher-end model would do better. It's good enough for me. It suits me!
The photo illustrating the current model (which hasn't had to be 'refreshed') might lead you to think that the top slider has aluminium buttons (for the few shortcuts, including the volume control), but no! From now on, these keys are narrower and 100% grey plastic (which doesn't resemble aluminium at all). But never mind, they don't look particularly fragile (or at least, no more fragile than this lightweight keyboard as a whole).
NB: on another machine, I still have the ancestor of this model - or at least an earlier model very close to the BLUESTORK - which is over 10 years old and still fully functional. It had aluminium (or aluminium-like) keys on the top slider.
The keyboard just doesn't work. Full of bugs. Some keys don't respond, others crash the computer, a real massacre. I have to say that I had not read the reviews!
On the other hand, the delivery is very fast, less than a week for Reunion Island. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy it.
In short, do not buy this keyboard model
I received the keyboard in less than a week but the post office had to reinforce the package (it was probably opened or damaged).
I've been using it for a while now and it looks normal but within an hour the keyboard starts to bug. The pages on google don't open anymore, I can't write a sentence without problems, even the Win10 menu doesn't open...
I've obviously tested it on another PC and it was worse, but considering the price I'm not surprised.
