I bought this exact keyboard for my wife and a relative of mine. The key caps have smudge off problem after a short time of use. I had requested replacement keycaps twice already. Durability is a bit meh. To me it is kinda a big con.

But no, the keycaps remain a negative across this entire keyboard segment.
