I ordered this keyboard to replace an old keyboard of the same brand that began seriously dating. This keyboard interested me for quite some time, but its price had repelled me at the time. However investing in such a keyboard is a very good choice. Typing is soft, quiet, well get used to the keyboard layout (it's been almost 7 years since I had my old keyboard) but believe me, it changes! Key illumination is very nice, I have not yet had the opportunity to really use this feature, but I think it can be a plus when working or playing in the dark. I am very happy with my purchase!
