UK Matias Wired Aluminum Tenkeyless RGB Backlit Keyboard for Mac Space Grey

Firstly this is an expensive keyboard, close to the price of an Apple product, for this money, expectations are high.In sum this is a useful keyboard for those of us who want to use cursor keys when touchtyping, something I find impossible with the tiny half sized cursor keys on the Apple magic keyboards. This is the sole reason I bought this keyboard because a regular keyboard with keypad places a trackpad too far to the right (for a right-handed person).Unfortunately the designers of this keyboard placed the single USB-A hub on the right side, which means that for most right handed people the trackpad is again pushed further right than is convenient (image 1)However it does it at a cost to cosmetics. Perhaps this doesn't matter and to me the value of the decent sized cursor keys overcomes it. Considering that cosmetically it is sub-par to an Apple product, it should not cost similarly to an Apple product. I would be perfectly happy with this product if it was priced appropriately, instead of being £100 it should really be £50-70 which reflects the actual quality touch and cosmetics wise.1. The keyboard has backlighting but the function keys are lit in such a way that a very bright light comes from under them directly into the users eyes which looks very ugly and means it doesn't have a nice backlighting appearance. The photo (2) shows this, it far more obvious in real life than it is in the photo. This means the sense of a nice backlight 'glow' is lost as there is a glare from under the function keys2. Much 'thicker' than the apple equivalent. I find this a bit uncomfortable to type on compared to my Apple magic keyboard.3. The aluminium that it's made from probably justifies the price. However the 'space gray' variant is massively different tonally from the colour of my Apple space gray trackpad, so the two don't go together cosmetically.

Firstly it heavy and thats great no movement at all when you type. I searched a long time for a mac keyboard, back lit and without the number section which i would never use and just took up space i wanted for my magic track pad.Dig the back lit colour wheel. types great. simply put it feels as classy as a mac product. yes its pricey but i feel worth it. my only slight issue is the rather weak design of having to press the back lite button along with 0 to switch it on. it is just unintuitive and required actual reading of instructions !
