Should you buy this?
- Buy it if

- Skip it if
- You strictly require wireless Bluetooth or 2.4GHz connectivity to keep your desk free of cables or to easily connect with tablets and phones. You prefer out-of-the-box PBT keycaps that do not attract fingerprint smudges or develop shine over extended periods of heavy typing.

How this rating was made
The score comes from one evaluation of the Flipkart specification table against today's cash price, calibrated so most consumer electronics land between 65 and 88. Affiliate partnerships never change a score, and no brand pays for placement. Where the store withholds a specification, the model is told to treat it as unknown rather than assume a good value.
