In addition to that, the material is a neodymium fingerprint magnet.Īs of the keyboard – it has good travel, clicky feedback, and very large keycaps, thus making it comfortable for long typing sessions. Wherever you press – in the middle of the keyboard or around the touchpad you will notice how much does it bend. So, the rather poor build quality can be most prominently seen on the base.
