Surprisingly heavy. Clearly not made of plastic only. Mechanical keys, clack, clack, clack—which I love.
Of course, the main reason for this was to have an easy-to-use keyboard in low-light. And during astronomy sessions, one that I could operate in red light mode.
There's a Fn (fun) key on it. It allows control of lighting modes. But documentation was a little lacking and I could not figure out how to get one colour to be on and remain at steady brightness. Downloaded the app, but it didn't work...

Sunday, I did another search, found the software on a Thailand web page. Technically for the Vara keyboard, but compatible. Lots of controls, including brightness. I set up a profile to run the keyboard in red colour, steady, no pulsing. Perfect.

Learning to touch-type was an amazing thing. I was so surprised to discover that I could type in complete darkness. Still, an illuminated keyboard is very useful.

Is my error rate going down?! It feels like I'm making less typos as I go... I dunno. But maybe the mechanical keys have something to do with that!
