LIGHTSALT Kurve - 79 Keys Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard, True RGB Backlit, Wired USB Keyboards with Magnetic Wrist Rest, Programmable Software and Macro Functionality - (Brown Switches, Black)

Ergonomic mechanical keyboard with 79 keys. I like how the keys are differently shaped. Interestingly it gives me far more accurate typing experience than normal keyboards. This hexagonal keycaps let’s your fingers instinctively know where things are. It’s a new experience. The material finish is good. The product is light enough but doesn’t feel cheap. This is a programmable keyboard so you can customize yourself. Extra keycaps are inside armrest (good design!) and you can swap Mac/Win keys. 79 keys are good choice for gaming, working and writing. The most impressive feature is the experience using this. It does not take time to get used to the keycap shapes. It feels more of a progress compared to the Square shaped keys we use. Because it works. All in all, I can see this design becoming a new standard.

I saw this unique keyboard and I watched the one review on YouTube. I don't recommend that review. I have over 30 keyboards. I'm kind of a collector, so here's my review.Good:I mostly really like this keyboard. I like the typing feel and the sound and the layout. I like the compact form factor. The wrist wrest shape and storage space is kind of nice.Bad:The lighting control keys on the motherboard don't work. The URL to lightsalt.io in the documentation doesn't work. The email on the instructions doesn't work. I was able to find the website at https://www.guangyanjiaohu.com/. I reluctantly downloaded the application. I don't read Chinese and this website has no translations. I got the application and installed it. I put screenshots through a Chinese to English OCR program to try and understand the UI. I was able to change the colors and the brightness. The application doesn't make the on-keyboard lighting keys work. The keyboard key colors change when you press shift, ctrl or fn. There's no options for that lighting setting in the application. You will always seem to have a blue keyboard light when you hit shift regardless of background key color.Honestly, I can't recommend this keyboard which should be functional and fun.Maybe I'm supposed to use a third-party, open source keyboard configurator with this keyboard, but I don't know which one and I don't feel like experimenting.

The keyboard consumes lot of electricity for basic lightning. There are several keyboards in amazon which have far more features for a much lesser price. Here is a bigger joke- There are no number keys on the right side. This product simply useless.
