Keyboard is almost perfect as an Apple alternative. It covers the layout perfectly. Only downside is that it requires to lock the Fn key upon every restart. It should follow the "use fn keys as function keys" option in the mac os keyboard panel which works native Apple keyboards. Alternatively, if it had it's own startup Kext instead of having to manually reset this per startup it would be much better in an audio workstation with ProTools or any DAW using specific mac key commands that require the function keys. If it wasn't for the great backlighting I wouldn't be using it, but I guess it's a necessary trade-off for working at night.

So far works as expected.
Like a few others have mentioned, the light leaks out the edges of keys more than the character on the button. The keyboard itself feels very Mac like. I think a slight tweak on the button design could fix the light problem, but it doesn't bother me much. It took a couple days to get used to.

FAQ
We can confirm compatibility with the MacBook Pro models. If your keyboard is not detected we recommend unplugging the keyboard and restarting your host device.
We recommend directly connecting the keyboard to a USB-C port of the computer itself. In these cases, we would recommend our Type-A to Type-C Adapter to 'convert' your standard USB. Please note: updating to the latest OS is recommended.
While our keyboard shortcut/function keys were designed to mirror macOS and iOS, we can confirm that they are also compatible with Windows. Please note: the keyboard connects via USB-C so please ensure that your computer is equipped with this port.
There are 3 levels of brightness, simply press the F5 key to decrease and F6 to increase brightness. You can also toggle the backlit keys off if needed.
Not at the moment, for now they only come in Space Gray, but maybe in the near future.
