You can connect the keyboard to up to three devices, such as PCs, phones, and tablets, and switch among them on the fly pressing the Bluetooth button (normally F1). Like many premium productivity keyboards, the Designer Compact features a multi-channel Bluetooth wireless connection. As someone who prefers mechanical keys, I notice the issues more acutely than someone who only uses this kind of keyboard. And, unlike many keyboards, the Design Compact can be quite comfortable as long as you have a light touch. To be clear, these are issues you’d experience with any thin, laptop-style keyboard to some degree. If you do it for long enough, it can start to hurt. Pressing the keys hard feels like trying to push your fingers through a wall. That comfort, while impressive, is still relative: Using a keyboard this flat takes its toll on the fingers. It immediately sets the Designer Compact apart from cheap budget keyboards you’ll find on Amazon, which look very similar to it and cost less, but are also uncomfortable and frail. The small, but substantial action in each press is smooth, without a millisecond of squishy feedback. The scissor-switch powered chiclet keys offer a surprising amount of travel, considering they’re set in a thin sliver of plastic. Typing on the Designer Compact is both a high- and low-point. It seems like having all these keys moving around the periphery should force a learning curve, but I only fumbled for an old key once or twice. The Function key has been moved to the left side of the Space bar, between Control and the Windows key. Screen Lock and Delete get new keys to their right. Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down share F9-F12. Menu and right control have been replaced by a scrunched set of arrow keys in the bottom-right corner-the Up and Down keys are half-sized, sharing a single chiclet square. The Designer Compact has 79 keys, slightly less than the 87 found on a standard TKL, and a gently modified layout. To condense the keyboard into a single block of keys, Microsoft crams the system functions keys you normally have between the alphanumeric keys and the number pad-the arrow keys, Page Up/Down, Screen Lock, Print Screen, etc.-into a few extra keys on the right side of the board.
