The editors didn't like
Split keyboards are an acquired taste
Setup takes up a lot of desktop space
And some users will lament the glossy shell on the mouse that attracts sticky fingers and fingerprints
Pricey
Split keyboard takes some getting used to
Keyboard has a pronounced learning curve. Lettering may wear off early
Solar panels dominate the top of the keyboard
Loud keys
Touchpad is overly sensitive to accidental touches
Lies flat and can't sit at an angle
Separate number pad is easy to misplace
Typing ergonomically can involve a difficult learning curve

Design makes this the coolest ergonomic keyboard yet, Scissor keys feel better than previous mushy keys, Smaller shape makes for smaller footprint, Gap in the middle is firm and doesn't flex
Function switch makes using function keys difficult, Mouse never gets fully comfortable

Souplesse d'utilisation grâce au pavé numérique séparé, Pack clavier-souris tout-en-un, Sans-fil, Piles incluses
Qualité des touches qui laisse à désirer, Repose-paumes pas si confortable, Pas de rétroéclairage, Grandes mains pénalisées, Souris basique, Dongle USB irremplaçable (norme propriétaire)
