I have purchased several of these keyboards in different sizes, and I have finally learned my lesson that despite the great form factor, nice design and excellent feel of the keys, they will fail rapidly and frustratingly. For a while I put up with the fact that some keys often double-type and others often require multiple presses to type at all, but as the problems get worse ultimately I give up. I would *love* these keyboards, and happily pay somewhat more for them if they only were reliable.
I bought this keyboard to replace a bluetooth wireless keyboard that I had. The problem with the previous keyboard was after starting up my MacBook Pro, I had to wait for the bluetooth keyboard to connect before being able to enter my password at the login screen. With this keyboard, it's no longer a problem. Aside from that, the keyboard feels great while typing. There is some noise while typing but not as bad as from the 'butterfly' keyboards on some Apple laptops.
