  Every time the PC goes into sleep mode and wakes up, the keyboard presses random buttons and you have to unplug and plug the USB again, wasted money. Unfortunately, it is the only membrane keyboard with this layout.

  Today I bought it.

  The keycaps are of very poor quality. Specifically, there was excess paint and plastic on the Caps Lock key, causing it to be stuck with the "A" key, so whenever I pressed "A," the Caps Lock would also be activated. I removed it, scraped off the excess paint and plastic, and fixed this issue. The next problem I noticed was that the Alt-Tab combination often didn't work. Eventually, I discovered that the Tab key was the culprit. I removed it to see that half of its foot was broken, not due to my own usage but the way it came from the factory. I replaced it with a Tab key from another keyboard, and it worked. However, overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to fix it yourself.

  Layout: It is as you see it in the photo, with the right Shift key being small and an extra key next to it. I was used to this from another keyboard, so it's not a problem for me personally. However, there are differences from the photo. The right Control key is not Control but Num Lock! The key right next to it on the left is not the Menu (Right Click) but a key related to lighting, it doesn't produce any keycode for the operating system to read. To the left of that is the FN key. So essentially, we have two dead keys in that area. Although there is a separate button on the top right for adjusting the lighting (and sound).
  Note: The Home, End, PgUp, etc. keys correspond to those on numeric keyboards and not the Home, End, PgUp, etc. keys that are located right below the Print Screen, etc. keys (which don't exist here). This makes a difference in some applications that are programmed to work with the former but not the latter. Essentially, you are buying a full keyboard without the Home, End, Ins, Del, PgUp, PgDn, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break, right Control, right Super/Win, Menu/Right click, Keypad *, Keypad /, Keypad -, Keypad +, Keypad Enter.

  In terms of desk support, I think it is very good since it has 4 points with rubber pads, whether the feet are closed or open.

  From the antighosting test I did, I don't see any significant antighosting, as with Alt pressed, at most you can press two additional characters in the wider area of WASD.

  The cable is long and quite thick.

  In terms of lighting, it has a variety of options and can be adjusted using the scroll wheel, the FN key, the arrow keys, and the lighting button. So, three different buttons for one function...

  Overall, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you specifically want a relatively small keyboard with more buttons than other TKL keyboards. If you want to reprogram the keys, like I do, in Linux with xmodmap. And if you have another membrane keyboard to replace the keys that you may find problematic (which I believe you will). It says on the box that it has a 5-year warranty, but I don't think it applies in Greece, at most 2 years. I didn't even bother because even if they replaced it, I think it would still have the same issues, maybe with different keys. It's not worth its price, if I were to estimate, I would say it's worth around 8 to 10€.
