==Description== The ''laptop pro'' is a silver case with black keycaps, [[75%]] [[Bluetooth]] wireless keyboard that uses the [[Plate mount|plate-mounted]] [[tactile]] and heavily dampened (quiet) [[Clicky|clicky]] [[Matias switch|Matias switches]]. Its main features are: * the ''laptop pro'' is a [[Bluetooth]] wireless keyboard * designed specifically for the Mac, so all Mac function keys work right out-of-the-box and without the need to download any extra drivers * a great number of symbols are printed on the keys' right side and can be easily accessed by pressing the <code>Option</code> key for the lower right symbols or simultaneously pressing <code>Shift</code> + <code>Option</code> for the upper right symbols * all 3 built-in USB ports are charging ports only (for example, attaching a mouse to the keyboard's USB port will not do anything) * the <code>Esc</code> backlight serves as an indicator for the Bluetooth status (charging, a brief OFF/ON light, needs charging, etc.): ** 3 blue flashes β you turned the keyboard/[[Bluetooth]] ON ** 3 amber flashes β you turned the keyboard/[[Bluetooth]] OFF ** continuous blue flashing β [[Bluetooth]] pairing in progress ** solid red β low charge; the time to charge the battery; the red light may not appear if the battery charge is completely depleted ** solid amber β the battery is charging * there is an ON/OFF white button on the back of the keyboard that turns [[Bluetooth]] wireless ON or OFF β use it frequently or whenever the computer is idle or OFF to save the battery charge * to prolong the battery charge: ** initially charge the battery for 5 hours ** turn OFF [[Bluetooth]] whenever not typing, and ** if this is your only keyboard, make sure to charge it before the charge is completely depleted β you can use the charging cable while typing ====Type feel==== The keyboard is solidly made with an easily recognizable [[Alps SKBM White|Alps SKBM white switches]] type feel to it but with significantly reduced auditory feedback/sound. This is achieved, as Matias explains, by sound dampening on the downstroke and upstroke. The sculpted [[ABS]] keytops make typing more precise by not easily losing the home row position. ====Build==== Surrounded by a tough plastic housing and being [[Plate mount|plate-mounted]] there is very little torque/twist flex and almost no board flex when the keys are pressed very hard.
