In this segment, the review highlights several key features of a keyboard with a 4,000 mAh battery. It provides up to 10 hours of battery life with backlighting on medium brightness and over 200 hours with backlighting off. However, it falls short compared to the Logitech MX Mini mechanical keyboard, which can last up to 12 months without backlighting. The keyboard also supports Bluetooth connectivity with multiple profile options. The reviewed wrist rest features a stylish two-tone design with an acrylic build that complements the RGB lighting, though it lacks cushioning. Priced around $140 USD and higher depending on the switches, the keyboard boasts high-quality materials, distinctive keycaps, and excellent switch options, particularly the baby raccoon switches. Overall, the reviewer highly recommends it for those seeking a premium, unique keyboard experience. Links for more information and purchase options are provided in the video description.
