Number Pad & USB-C Port Don't Work
Loved the slim profile and the shortcut options. Haven't tried all the device ports as I just recently received the keyboard and am returning it. Of the two USB-C ports, one doesn't work at all and the second one will power all keys except the number pad keys.It appears that the number pad doesn't work. There's no number lock/unlock key, so you would expect the number pad to function automatically.This was introduced to the market as a kickstart (crowd-funded) venture. It appears that in their eagerness to get the product to market they 1) failed to create a robust, reliable design and 2) don't have proper manufacturing testing procedures in place to catch basic electrical/mechanical performance defects before the keyboard leaves the assembly line.I processed a return for the keyboard and ordered a second one, hoping that I would get a functioning keyboard. Nope, same issues. I contacted Kolude via their website and got no reply. Online searches for reviews indicate they have poor customer service - buyer beware! I received a reply via the Facebook Messenger app with very poor instructions to do some registry edits to my hard drive in order to get the number pad to work. The REGEDIT instructions given don't match what's visible in the registry. I don't care to risk screwing up my laptop in the hopes of getting the keyboard to work properly. This one is also getting returned.

Great Idea!
I got this keyboard because I have been looking for good usb-c hubs and this stood out as it was a hub all in a keyboard. I am using the keyboard right now to type this review.I'm using this on 2 Windows machines. The keys are labeled for Mac OS (cmd key) but you can get the Windows key function from the "alt opt" keys, so that takes some getting used to, but I don't have a lot of need for those and the other function keys are a little different due to this I have not had any issues.The only thing I would change is to add a second HDMI port to support 2 external displays from the dock, I can attach that directly to my devices, but it would be nice have that option on the dock/keyboard.Pros- Compact- Easy access to ports- Stays cool- Can be used with my work and personal laptop without with a quick swap.- Keys feel pretty goodCons- Only a single HDMI Port, would love it if there were 2.- Documentation in with the device is pretty light.

Stylish and solid keboard
This keyboard is exactly what I was a looking for. It is extremely thin but with considerable heft. It appears to be made up of two solid slabs of aluminum so there isn't any bend at all. All of the ports seem to work as described. I would prefer if the USB-A port on the right side could be colored something other than blue in order to differentiate between USB 2.0 and 3.0 though. The SD/mSD card readers function just fine and the other USB-A 3.0 ports also work as describe.The backlighting is sufficiently bright and can be quickly controlled with the two light bulb buttons above the right number pad. Each individual key appears to be lit, which is definitely preferable in my book. I've connected the keyboard with my own USB-C cable since the one provided is really short. It would definitely not be long enough to reach behind all the way to the back of my desktop tower.Key travel is shallow, similar to the scissor-type found on MBs. Travel is shallow but they actually feel better than the ones on my 2021 MBP, but obviously much different from my blue-switch mechanical keyboard. The round keys will take a bit to get used to but it isn't bothersome whatsoever.It even comes with a basic silicone protector, which may be useful for some but it's a bit too rubbery for me to use on a daily basis so I don't see myself using it much. It comes with two "risers" that you can stick to the back of the keyboard, which I recommend if you want a little bit of tilt when you're typing. The risers made it more ergonomic for me personally. In terms of an all-in-one keyboard hub, this keyboard has met my expectations.

Really great keyboard for Windows
Definitely but this with the coupon. It takes a little getting used to if you’re using for windows instead of mac, but honestly nothing beats the sleekness of these keys. I would recommend buying a usb c to usb c cord to replace the one provided in the box as that one seemed to break quickly.Remember:Num lock can be turned on for windows with Fn+DeleteTop function keys are enabled by Fn+Esc
