Okay, I've always owned and uses Logitech devices, and this is the 1st keyboard I own and use that's not Logitech. I love this keyboard after using it for work on a daily basis for about a month. It just works otb. This keyboard functions and feel is comparable to the Logitech Illuminated keyboard, only smaller and lower profile and without the lighted keys.
- Keyboard layout is standard querty. So, no learning curve. The special function keys I have to get used to but this minor.
- Key pressed sound is on the quiet side and with just the right amount of resistance.
- LED indicators for battery, (num/cap/function) lock, power works great and clearly visible.
- On/off switch is also great for saving battery, but I leave mine on all the time, except when it's in the laptop back during commute.
- USB charging is also a great feature and charges fast.
- Keyboard is super light weight, which I really like when carrying it around. I just shove it into my laptop backpack and go.
- I only charge this once before use, and it's been approx. 1 month already.
Workaround:
- Height profile is too low (approx 1/2 the height of wrist pad) without anything to prop it up. After using this without a wrist pad for a few hours, my wrists started to hurt where they make contact with the table surface. Not the fault of the keyboard. I used a wrist pad, and noticed the awkwardness of my hands and fingers reaching slight downward to type. This is not ideal. I propped the keyboard on top of the box it came in, and at this height it is perfect with my wrist pad.
My sister has a keyboard that doesn't have the (num and cap) lock indicators, so I got her this too. She loves this keyboard.

Update March 13, 2023
The product description says the battery "lasts for 6 months with single charge (based on 2 hours non-stop use per day)". This comes out to 360 hours (6 months x 30 days x 2 hours) of non-stop usage. Here my real life usage. I used this keyboard for normal work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, since Feb 2023. Comes out to approximately 320 hours (40 days x 8 hours) of normal usage. I estimated the number of days and didn't exclude the weekends, because I sometimes use it with my personal laptop via a KVM. I never turn off the keyboard.
The battery died on me today around mid morning. I was typing, but the characters registered intermittently. From experience, I suspect the battery, so I turned the keyboard off and then on. Typed again, and this time, only 1 or 2 characters registered and then it stopped completely. I looked at the charging symbol (electric or lightning) and it was off. The power button was all off. So, there's no visible indication to let the user know that the battery needs recharging.
This also happened to my sister, who is less technical and have always used wired keyboard, struggled to figure out what caused her keyboard to stop working. The charging took approx 2-3 hours to complete, which is indicated by a green LED (electric/lightning symbol).
Another odd issue I've encountered while using this keyboard with a KVM switch (JideTech KVM Switch HDMI 2 Port Box 4096x2160@60Hz 4:4:4 with Audio Mic and HDMI Cables Support HDMI 2.0,HDCP 2.2,HDR 10). When switching between my personal to work laptop, the keyboard would automatically enabled the caplock (caplock LED on) for the work laptop. I didn't have this problem before when using another keyboard. It doesn't happen when switching from work to personal laptop.
Still a great little keyboard, though.
Update June 11, 2023 - new keyboard with keys popped off.
One of my wired keyboard died, so I bought another Artech keyboard. I came today and noticed the + and Enter keys were physically not attached to the keypad. I thought it was broken, but I reassembled the keys and it works just fine. My initial reaction was, "oh no. I have to return for a replacement :-(". However, after examining the keys, it was easy to figure out how to reassemble it. Now it looks just as normal as other keys and types just fine. Love this keyboard. Just need to be a little more sturdy so keys don't pop out if dropped or thrown around in the box.
Again, it just works out of the box.
