CHERRY G84-4100 COMPACT KEYBOARD , Black

Small quality built keyboard without the number pad if a little expensive.

At last a keyboard with a proper action! Very well made and just the right size for my compact desk. Highly recommended

I received confirmation of my order for this item on 17/11/2019. It's a nice keyboard, very sturdy, good buttons etc. it's just what I like in a keyboard. But I soon discovered that a few of the keys don't put on my screen the same as is displayed on the key. Disappointingly I cannot use it because of this problem. And so the keyboard is still in its bag in its box because I cannot use it properly. Three times over a several week period I have contacted the seller and pointed this out and informed them that I want a refund. But I have never received a single response from them. It's time to make an official complaint now, but I don't know where to start.

The keyboard is tiny (laptop-sized) and the keys feel pretty good (better than most laptops), but they are tiny. I have pretty big hands and I find it uncomfortable to type for any time on this keyboard. On the other hand, it sits under the monitor for my second input and leaves room for my actual "work" keyboard (the very excellent Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless), so it works for me. I'd still recommend it, as long as you don't have small hands.

Keyboards today are increasingly 'low profile' and mushy feeling with no decent feedback. You cannot tell without looking at the screen whether a key has registered or not. This keyboard, however, is Old School, with proper mechanical switches, which perceptibly (and audibly) click. The keystroke is relatively long - three or four millimetres - which is much easier on the fingers than a 'low profile' keyboard. It's solidly built and durable - you'll be using it for a long time. And though the key pitch - the spacing between the keys - is standard, it's nevertheless very compact and doesn't dominate your desk. There's a cost to compactness, of course - it has no separate numeric keypad - but unless you're an accountant or a data entry clerk you won't miss that.

This is a really compact keyboard, so awesome from a space saving perspective. The keys, however, require a lot of work to depress. I tried to use this over a two week period, but had to call it quits. Just not comfortable at all.

The keyboard itself is okay but the style of this compact keyboard feels really weird and takes a while to get used too but for some people it can be okay

Exactly as I expected it to be. Always knew the back-tick key would be a sore point, and it is. But the key action and spacing are just spot on for me.
