What do you guys think of this keyboard? I uses Cherry ML switches and is I love how compact it is.

I am curious because this keyboard is being used at my work (I work in a hospital). It's not in the best of shape but I think it would clean up pretty good. This keyboard is very rarely used because it is attatched to a computer that is used for answering call lights and the screen is touch screen so the keyboard is down out of sight.

I really want a compact keyboard to carry arround for a laptop and this is perfect. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to bum seemingly old worthless keyboards from your place of employment. :eyebrows:

Wow I went full derp on this post. There is already a thread in the first page that gives a full review on this board. And better yet, I posted in it!

Nevertheless I am still interested in how one might bum a board that no one obviously cares about, and barely uses, from your workplace.

Cherry ML switch? AKA meh switch... Not much like on it apart from the low profile and footprint.

Hmm, I understand it might not be the best switch, but If I could find a way to bum it off my work place, then I could have a decent portable keyboard to use with a laptop for free, instead of paying 100USD on a Poker.

2nd hand version of those thing cost less than 20USD in China.

It ain't that bad. Like I mentioned in my review, the trick is to be really light with the ML switches. If you hit your keys too hard, it'll feel wrong. But it's a really nice, solid, little keyboard.
