Highlights
Quality
The quality of the keyboard is extremely nice and the response is very good.
Easy to connect, it does not take up much space and the keys feel very good, they do their job.
I managed to botch myself out of one of my activations in the last year due to my computer going bad and having to replace it.
I didn't deactivate these softwares before reinstallation and now i don't have the access to the old computer to do so.

This is a great piece of equipment for the price.

For what you get, however, $99 clams is a really good deal.
