The key is functioning, the wood is very poorly finished and raw (chipped on the sides). When the box is closed, you get the stick out barely, etc. only with long fingernails or a tool / nail file The stick is used falschrum, so that the wooden box hanging down instead of up, where it would not interfere. The stick can be ergo use for a laptop only when you break off the wooden box or the laptop is on the edge of the table, so that the wooden box can hang down the stick. Too Bad.
