Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The scissor-switch powered chiclet keys offer a surprising amount of travel, considering they're set in a thin sliver of plastic. There's a Symbols menu that gives you quick access to the full range of English punctuation marks. Like many premium productivity keyboards, the Designer Compact features a multi-channel Bluetooth wireless connection.
Pros
  • Sleek, minimalist design
  • Easy to use
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Battery life could be better
  • Expressive Input key requires four CR2032 batteries
