I ordered a wireless keyboard, and it came last week. It was all right, only I could not open my PDF attachments from church. We put the wired keyboard back, and the first try, the attachment opened right up. So, we keep the wireless with keys where you can read the letters, but keep my wired one, on which people cannot read the worn out keys. That way, if my son works on my computer, he can put the wireless back on.

Why waste your money for something you can't use?

In short, I am going to keep it since it is highly customizable and I want to play around with it, as it is out of the box I am not entirely happy with it, but it is mainly because of the type of switches it uses and the typing feel they provide. Here is a more detailed description: you can use this keyboard in wired mode where you connect it to your computer with a USB-C cable, but you can also switch it to Bluetooth mode to use it with your iPhone, Android phone or a laptop or of course a desktop provided it has Bluetooth. The switch is a slider on the back left of the keyboard, to the left it is wired, in the middle it is off and to the right is Bluetooth. It then has a second slider switch which changes the layout from Windows/Android to Mac/iOS, left is Mac/iOS and right is Windows/Android. When I looked up how to put it in pairing mode online, the instruction said to of course switch it to Bluetooth mode and then to press the FN key + 1 on the number row for 4 seconds. I felt the keys before and noticed a standard layout with Control, Windows Key and Alt on the left side of the spacebar and Alt, Windows Key, what I assume was an application key and Control on the right. So I took a picture of the keys near the bottom with Be My Eyes and it told me that the picture was of a mechanical keyboard with several keys visible. I think it mentioned some of the key labels, I then sent a message asking if there was an FN key and the reply came back promptly “Yes, there is a FN key on the right side between the Windows Key and the Control Key”. Man, I really love this Be My AI service! In other words what I thought was the application key was in fact the FN key. And for those who may wonder, no there is no application key, a Windows key on each side of the spacebar yes, but no application/context menu key. However, in addition to the typical F1 to F12 keys on the top and the Printscreen, Scroll Lock and Pause keys to the right of the F-Keys, there is in fact an F13, F14, F15 and F16 key which are above the numeric pad. These can be programmed. However, this is as far as I can tell not an accessible process as an application called "VIA" is used for this and one has to drag whatever you want the key to do to the key. In fact, you can completely assign anything to any key including macros and in addition to that the keyboard can be completely customized with whatever mechanical switches you want to use. The version I bought from Amazon Canada for a sale price of $109 Canadian comes with Gateron switches and I believe they are the Linear Brown switches. It's wonderful typing, very quiet, but I think for my taste they are too sensitive and often even lightly resting my fingers on the F and J may end up putting one of them into my text. It's also very easy to type say a "ds" if all you wanted was a "d" if you are not a very precise typist. In the end I will most likely order either a set of Gateron switches which are more equivalent to a Cherry MX Blue wjhich is a more clicky switch and requires a bit more force before it registers. The nice thing is that you can use actual Cherry MX switches in that keyboard in addition to the somewhat less exxpensive Gateron switches and you can even use KAILH switches. How easy it is to disassemble the keyboard, pull the switches and reinstall the others I don't know, bvut my store manager is a very handy person so I'll probably get him to do it or at least show me in case I could do it.

Good afternoon Richard, I have the color identifier that also has a light detector. That part works quite well. I also for $25 got a keychain type of light detector from laws actually not loves it was the tech guys. That works quite well. also small enough to keep in your pocket of purse or whatever you’re using. so those two are standalone. Anyway, good luck.
