And you know what that means, time for a list of things that annoy me!

First of all, this is a wireless keyboard... but it really isn't? It connects via bluetooth and no desktop computer I ever had actually had bluteooth. I have it on my laptop, but my laptop doesn't really need a keyboard. So this is wireless keyboard if you make it wireless, which is semi false advertising really.

This is a low profile keyboard, for a mechanical keyboard at least, but that doesn't mean much since it's about 3x the height of a low profile non mechanical keyboard.

Oh wait, connectivity... the keyboard comes with a usb cable, but the cable is so short it's impossible to connect it to the pc case via any usual route (around the monitor, through the cable hole, etc), so it just has to go straight from the kb to the case, which really obstructs me trying to work with the mouse. So connectivity in any case is bad.

Now, before I get a wrist rest of some kind, I must say... the keys are sharp from the bottom side, some more than others. The right option key is so sharp it's as if someone has cut the plastic with a knife at some point. I'm sure I could cut myself given enough times of sliding my finger through there, which just tends to happen while I type.

Without the wrist rest, just letting my hands drop on the keys as usual, every time I move my left hand a bit forward, the left control key scrapes against the lower part of my palm.

I got red switches, which I had in... whichever mechanical keyboard I had before this one, Razer something or other? Anyway, they felt much more to my taste there.
Here they feel almost non existant. The finger just falls through and clicks at the bottom.
Now, that's not the worst of things. It's easy to type at least. However...

Unfortunately, the keys are not very stable on this keyboard, meaning they rock in all directions a lot from the center point. So now that I'm very new with it, it leads to silly typing errors because no feedback + unstable keys is a bad combo.

The sound is not too loud, which is like. Although it's not particularly pleasant, more dull and plasticky. I think I might get used to this.

Does anyone know of an affordable wrist rest for a kb of this size?

I'll consider this an improvement over the non-mechanical Logitech Mx Keys S I had before, which was so shoddily made that 6 keys fell out within a span of a year from very light (albeit often) typing, the color got peeled from skin contact and it lost signal every few months or so.
