My reservations were twofold. The price was a bit expensive, and I was unsure about it's ability to enter a computer's BIOS. I have been using a variety of keyboards since the mid 80's, and this one is the easiest to use with relatively quiet keys, unlike other mechanical keyboards, and I can get into the BIOS on my three desktops with ease. And once using it, I haven't thought about the price at all.
-plug and play -light weight -decent battery life
Full size keyboard makes for very comfortable typing. Keys have just the right amount of resistance. It feels nice to use. Typing noise level is on par with standard OEM keyboards. Not too loud, but not quiet. The same goes for the mouse. Clicks are pleasing, it has a nice shape and fits well in my big hands. The ribbed rubber scroll wheel is very pronounced and divides the fingers well. (Read note on scroll wheel in Cons) The keyboard is not clunky or bulky. The shape is pleasing to the eye and hands! That V in the palm rest looks "Edgy" and "Modern" but it serves a function: you may notice the widest section sits under the "home" keys and splits near the "G" and "H" respectively. It sits firmly in place while in use...and us very portable. The mouse also a solid built but lightweight mouse. It is heavy enough to not feel like a toy, but light enough that quick movements in gaming are easily handled. The battery life is amazing! Batteries last well over a year (possibly 2 years!) with daily use.
Got the standard silver and black color scheme. They take seconds to setup and found that this keyboard/mouse combo is more reliable and accurate than my previous setup. Of course, if you really need accuracy, then wired is the way to go.
I have owned it for 2 1/2 months, and i have never had a problem with it. Still using the same battery's.
The Rii keyboard is a very nice addition to our HTPC. It's fully functional with our NUC unit that we use for our outdoor theater. The range of the transmitter is more than acceptable and the additional function keys work extremely well. The lit keyboard is an extra bonus and it has two light levels. Overall, my expectations were exceeded and I found this product to be a true value based on the price paid and the quality of the unit.
The 3 pieces of this set that I used all worked like a charm. The puller looked flimsy but it did the job.
When working with Photoshop or Resolve in a dark room the lighted keys are easy to read. The board fits nicely on a crowded desk without sacrificing key size
both devices use the same USB adapter or bluetooth
