Picked this up and did my first day of work on it yesterday. Figured I would give some initial thoughts about it.

I picked this up as an Amazon renewed product. It saved me just at $50 off the new price at the cost of long term warranty. I felt it was a worthwhile chance to take and the product arrived to me as if it was new aside from the retail box and such. It is a very hefty and quality feeling keyboard. It is wireless and can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth or by the Unifying Receiver. It's a super handy feature particularly if you have to work with multiple devices. It will pair with one of the line of Logitech mouse as well, but I do not own that.
The keyboard comes with a variety of macro buttons along the top and most notably a knob they call the Crown. I won't echo other reviews to parrot everything it does, but most notably it comes out of the box working volume and play/pause function which was an important feature to me. You can download a companion program called Options that allow other features for the Crown as well as some other minor tweaks and software upgrade options. I personally found the app to be buggy and uninstalled it. In the case that I was going to use this with some of the other features it works with (Adobe and such) you have to have it.
The keys themselves have a concave spot that is really comfortable for feel while typing. The keys are shallow scissor switches like what would be found in a laptop-like keyboard. They have a nice tactile feel and are low noise, particularly nice for the home office. The shallowness is a bit off-putting, but seems worth getting used to. My biggest issue right now is "slamming" on the keys and I am still missing keys a bit. The keyboard is backlit as well and senses when your fingers are close. It's a nice feature that I wanted for dim light situations.
My last "premium" keyboard was a Microsoft Sidewinder. It's plastic construction and weight made it feel much less quality than this one does. It's feature set was nice to me and this keyboard offers a lot of it minus the gaming presets and colored flashy lights. The weight of this unit lends a solid feel and it absolutely doesn't move across the desk. It does have a shallow angle as compared to a normal PC keyboard and is much more akin to typing on a laptop/Ultrabook type device. I don't find it uncomfortable at all.
All in all I wouldn't want to pay retail for one, but at the $50 it brought all but one feature I was looking for (USB passthrough) and that was easily overcome doing away with the cord my previous keyboard(s) had. Recommended if you can find it on sale or refurbished. I will follow up later in regard to how well it stands up.
