The Canyon CNA-BTKB01B (or CNA-BTKB01W) Bluetooth Keyboard

Hello.

This will be a short review on the Canyon CNA-BTKB01B (black, CNA-BTKB01W is the white version) bluetooth keyboard.

I just bought this keyboard two weeks ago (my bad) to use at work on my Windows 7 machine because of its sleek flat keys and simple layout (kind of an Apple Wireless Keyboard impersonation only with a lower price tag; again my bad). 

I used it for two days at work and unfortunately all I can say is this
 - the right shift key did not press well on all angles
 - when the PC had been sleeping for the night, when I wanted to get started the next day, the keyboard would not react and had to be reconnected (this means removing the bluetooth keyboard from Windows and reconnecting it using the keyboard hardware connect procedure)
  - during the second day, this would also happen at random times
 - during the second day, certain keys would not register the key press (and get this) in certain applications
 - while typing a long text some keys would appear twice on the screen (I consider myself as an advanced typist and this never occurs to me)

Basically what I am trying to say is that this keyboard is of (very) poor quality. Fortunately, I managed to return it and get my money back. So.. I'm guessing it's an ugly keyboard or .. Apple's?

PS - these two (one and two) are the only documents I could find on this device (other than the seller's website information)
