One morning the unit just died, no lights, could not be made to type anything. I guess power supply in it gave out. I could care less about the way the light pulsed under the keys, I do like some basic backlighting, but do not care too much about it at all, I just loved the ergonomic layout and the mechanical keys. ETA: Company sent me a new cable after I messaged them, not that I suspected that was the problem. When I pulled the old cable out the USB 3 socket inside broke loose and was rattling around in there. After I had a chance to pull keys, remove screws and open it up and determined that the socket that the USB cable plugs into snapped off somehow, even though I had it just sitting on my desk plugged into my docking station ever since I got it. Perhaps it had been failing and that is what made the keyboard go dark, and when I pulled the cable out, for the first time, that is what made it go down. Either way, a bad non-reinforced delicate design and I conclude that my instance of this was not soldered well to boot. BE GINGER w/ your Keyboards, if you buy. Read more

I really wanted to like this keyboard - but I just can't get used to the shifted keys.
