Marshmallow KW100 Wireless Keyboard – Green Tea Latte | Silent Scissor Keys,Compact Design,2-Year Battery Life, Compatible with Windows/Mac/Chrome/iOS & iPadOS Devices with Dedicated Copilot Key

I received the ASUS Marshmallow KW100 keyboard in proper brand-new condition, and my initial impression has been very positive. The keyboard looks good, feels well made for a compact plastic keyboard, and the colour options are one of its strong points. The key travel is also good, making typing comfortable for regular work, browsing, messaging, and light productivity use on a tablet. I am currently using it mainly as a tablet keyboard. The typing experience is pleasant and the keys are quiet enough for everyday use. The keyboard is slim and can still fit inside a standard laptop backpack, so it is portable to an extent. The only initial difficulty I faced was pairing it. It took a little time to understand the correct Function-key and Bluetooth-key combination needed to put it into pairing mode. It is advertised as supporting up to three devices, but I am still figuring out how to create and switch between multiple device profiles properly. Once paired with the tablet, though, it works well. For tablet users, there are a few practical considerations. It is not extremely small, so it may feel a little large if you want something that is very easy to carry everywhere. Also, there is no protective cover included, which leaves the keys exposed while travelling. You need to be a little careful when carrying it in a bag with other devices or accessories. It also does not include a trackpad, so you will either need to carry a separate mouse or use the tablet touchscreen alongside the keyboard. A positive point is the battery arrangement. It uses AAA batteries, and the battery compartment at the front is easy to access and replace. That is much more convenient than keyboards with sealed rechargeable batteries or difficult-to-reach button cells. My only concern is pricing. Since this is a plastic keyboard with no metal construction or trackpad, it could have been a little more affordable. It is also a light-coloured keyboard, so it will need regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent it from looking dirty over time. Overall, this is a nice, comfortable, and visually attractive Bluetooth keyboard for tablet and everyday use. It is worth considering if you value typing comfort, quiet keys, and colour options, but keep the size, exposed keys during travel, lack of a trackpad, and slightly premium pricing in mind.

I earlier used Targus Wireless keyboard due to cheaper prices, didn't even last 1 year and felt hard to type. This one instantly felt much value for money with an extra thousand rupees. The keyboard feels pleasant to type and the looks are brilliant. It almost gives me a typing experience of Apple Magic Keyboard, but more silent than the Apple one. The build quality feels premium like a > 5k price keyboard as I have also used Logitech Mechanical Mini in past but that one lasted ~5 years and I wanted to kind of now like the membrane type keyboard. Connectivity was smooth, just took 30s to do first time with the MacBook. Its weight is also sufficient enough as it does not move even when you type faster and bit heavier. I am currently using it with MacBook and an Android tablet, the device compatibility and switching experience is great. I'd recommend it to whoever wants to go with the membrane keyboard. Many thanks to Asus for bringing quality product at very affordable prices!

It is a good Bluetooth keyboard. The color of the keyboard is very pleasing to see. It works fine generally. Pros- -Design-The keyboard has a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing design. The color (Green tea latte) is so pleasing and beautiful. -Size-It is also very compact and I was very surprised that I could type much more faster on this keyboard. -Connectivity-It can easily connect up to 3 devices and switching between them is very easy. I connected it to my laptop, tablet and Android phone and switching between them is very easy. -Scissor keys- Before buying this keyboard I had never used scissor keys. I must say it so pleasing to type with them. -Ergonomics and typing comfort- The keyboard is flat and very comfortable to use for typing. I am able to type way faster than any other keyboard that I have I used. Cons- -Bluetooth issues- Yeah, the only way this keyboard connects itself to the device is so messed up. Ever since I bought it I have been facing random disconnecting issues. I will be using the keyboard and suddenly it goes off. The device could have had USB wireless connection as an alternate. -Malfunctioning-The keyboard malfunctions randomly and inputs what I type in upper case even though CAPS lock is not switched on. ASUS needs to work on the connectivity of the device. This keyboard should have come with a 2.4 ghz connector if this is the case. -Automatic sleep-The automatic sleep mode thing on this keyboard is ridiculously fast. Just inside 5 mins and it shuts down. This leads to lots of typing mistakes. Especially while typing passwords and pins. Of course it is an essential thing for a Bluetooth keyboard to save battery, but at least Asus could have given the option to shut it off. -Completely dead some times- The keyboard is just dead at times even though the battery is so new. I don't understand why this is happening. Even after switching it on and off it does not respond. Then by some miracle after sometime it comes back to life. Update-this issue has reduced now. Maybe it was a software issue. It is a good Bluetooth keyboard even though it has its cons.

it is a bit small but very responsive and smooth, no lag or delay, and the keys are absolutely low noise easy to type and truly soft keys… the look and feel the ergonomics are commendable and give premium feel. The font on keys is big and clear. Seems like a good investment, this is on the very first day of purchase so endurance, life span, and durability as we go from 0 to 6 months and onwards is only wait and watch…hope this helps… thanks!

Reasons why I chose this keyboard: 1. Mac layout - Easy to use if you are accustomed to the mac style keyboard layout. 2. Too much hand movement while using navigation keys - It is compact, same size as mac keyboards. Therefore, very little hand movement. I was using a full size keyboard earlier. 3. Mac cmd and alt signs on the keys - I get confused when there are shortcuts with those signs. It is easy to understand those shortcuts as the signs are given on the keyboard. 4. Separate shapes for up/down and left/right keys - Since the size is different you can understand which one is what just by feeling them, without looking at them while typing. 5. Perfect shape for my small hands - Again one of the reasons I chose this because I don't like moving my hands too much while typing. 6. Value for money - All my requirements met at 2k :) Things I didn't expect and I liked: 1. Ergonomics - The keyboard is slightly tilted and you can adjust the height as well. Two levels are available. I used MX Keys before and I still feel at home with Asus Marshmallow. 2. Good build quality - Honestly I feel it same as Logitech MX Keys build quality wise which costs around 4 times more than this. 3. All functionalities I needed are available - Dedicated media keys. Windows/Mac layout switch. Things I miss: 1. Capslock led light - I usually press the caps lock by mistake and there is no way I can understand from the keyboard that it is on. 2. Odd placement of the fn key - Although I haven't felt it so far, but the fn key could have been placed on the right side of the space bar or the leftmost part (where ctrl key is present, same as Mac). This is just my personal preference. 3. Dark color option is not available - Only trendy looking colors are available. Professional subtle colors like gray can be added :)

Very disappointed with the product. Although the quality is fine but the connectivity is a major issue keeps getting disconnected. Not worth it.

It's the best ever! So compact, so lightweight. Initially, I was a bit reluctant about how it was going to be, since things that appear this beautiful are not always the most practical. I feel so happy as I write this review using the Asus keyboard that I just received. The usage is seamless, and ah I love the feel of it! 100% recommend and worth the money. Especially for someone, who's into more minimal and non-corporate looking devices, this one's for you. I was using a keyboard by IGear before this, typewriter inspired, it was quite beautiful, but supremely bulky and had USB cable system which is honestly not very compatible with new Mac series with C-type plug in. This one barely took a minute to connect via bluetooth! Have a satisfactory motivation to study all day and utilise this keyboard ☘︎

Amazing keyboard. Would 100% recommend. Don't buy the pebble, buy this and save your money.
