Quality

Solid build quality, i love the calculator function

The keys feel nice and it’s made well

I've gone weeks without charging, and like the keyboard it has a long long charge.

This numpad should work using the same dongle as the keyboard, blows my mind that does not work like that.

Price

For the price it seems like a very fair deal.

Packaging/appearance

Looks great and truely a joy to type on.

Competitiveness

Having worked at ibm (twice) i can say that it's not the best company.
