The K-235G is decent quality and I have had no issues with it so far

My MAIN PROBLEM however, is that the backspace key is as big as a letter key, and the enter key takes up a lot of space that could be used to make the backspace bigger

Bad key positioning for me, but I’ve been using a Logitech for years so it’s probably something I can get used to, though for whatever reason the key is moved from above enter to left of backspace

If you’ve never used a keyboard before, this is meaningless, but having used a particular setup for a long time this is a very strange change that takes a good bit of getting used to

I haven’t had any ghosting problems, it allows a fair amount of keys at once (3 on each side? no way for me to really tell)

The keys are firm and not mushy, and require a little force to push

They are rather quiet, and not as clacky as some other models

The orange keys look nice, but in the dark they aren’t quite as noticeable as I had hoped (Got this instead of a backlit one for cost issues)

The media keys up top are mostly useless, the four on the left are a music note (it’s function is unknown, I see nothing happen when I press it and there were no instructions in the box,) Play/Pause, Volume up and volume down

The right set is (open homepage in your browser) (open your email) (search) and (My computer), I use none of these and got more use out of my Logitech’s calculator key

It may be possible to reprogram these keys to do more useful things, but the keyboard came with no software or instructions so I assume you would have to use an external program to do that

For the price I paid, I can’t complain much, but I think I will be getting a different board and passing this to someone else, I would rather get one that’s more comfortable than try to adapt to this one
