This keyboard is easy to connect and operate. I love the ease of use and the trackpad. I purchased the optional mouse, which works really well, but I rarely use it due to the ease of use of the trackpad. The outside of the keyboard is stylish, but I gave the sturdiness a 4 because I have only had it for a few weeks, and I hesitate to give it a 5 yet. However, I have not encountered any issues thus far.
