Compact for comfort & travel.
There are several advantages that come with a compact keyboard...

More free space on your desk.
Using your mouse is more comfortable - because you don't have to move your hand so far.
Easy to pack for trips.
If you loathe your laptop's built-in keyboard, the Mini Quiet Pro is narrow enough to fit in your laptop bag.

It's really quiet.
Mechanical keyboards offer the best performance, but they're noisy - too noisy to use in most offices, or around other people. This is the first one that's quiet. Over two years in the making, it's the only mechanical keyboard that keeps both your fingers and your co-workers happy.

3 extra USB 2.0 ports.
Some keyboards have 2 USB ports - most have none. We're giving you three! You can plug in flash drives, digital cameras, your mouse, and more.

Detachable keyboard cable + a spare.
If you plan to take your Mini Quiet Pro with you, we've made that easier to do. Keyboard and cable detach from each other, and we provide an extra cable that you can keep stowed in your laptop bag, for use on the road.

Laser etched keys.
All those symbols are handy, but what happens when they wear off? They won't. They're laser etched - burned into the keys with a laser - so they'll never wear off.

Sculpted keytops.
The latest trend in keyboards is to have very flat & wide keys, with little or no space between them. You see this a lot on laptops and netbooks. While they look great, they can also be a little tricky to type on. The flatness makes it very easy to slide out of home row and lose your bearings.
The Mini Quiet Pro bucks this trend. It has traditional sculpted keytops, curved to fit your fingertips, and keep you from sliding out of home position.

Audio & media controls.
Dedicated keys let you control Volume Up / Down / Mute. Plus, by holding down the Fn key you gain access to strategically located Pause / Play, Next Track, and Previous Track keys.

Ghosts busted.
Most keyboards allow only a few keys to be pressed at once, so they can't keep up with very fast typists. The result is called ghosting - letters missing from what you actually typed, or additional letters that you didn't type.
The Mini Quiet Pro has special Anti-Ghosting Circuitry (also called n-key rollover) to eliminate these problems. You can type as fast as you're able; the Mini Quiet Pro will keep up.

I previously had the Realforce 87UW (55gm), which while very good quality, the keys felt quite heavy and tiring after a while. I replaced it with this Matias one, which has been excellent. Feels buttery smooth compared to the Relaforce but very tactile at the same time. My typing became instantly faster and comfier.

The keyboard is relatively quite and feels much better than the cherry mechanical ones imo.

Reliability wise, I have the keyboard for more than a year now and I only had a problem once, about six months ago, with the left Ctrl key missing some strokes. I removed the key and put it back on again, and the problem seems to have been solved.

I highly recommend the keyboard (I got a second one for home).

I would love if Matias comes up with an even more compact one (e.g., without the F keys and a more compact case).

This is an absolutely fantastic keyboard. My iMac came with the Apple Magic Keyboard which I don't particularly like because the arrow keys are ridiculously small.

I don't like the keys on most mechanical keyboards because of how close they are together, but for whatever reason - it might be down to the curved design of the keys on the Mini Quiet Pro - it's a dream to type on, despite the keys being so close together. Each keystroke feels intentional and the switches are very tactile but quiet. You can easily feel the actuation point, whereas on an MX Brown, it's difficult to notice. It's what the MX Browns should be, both in terms of tactility and feedback.

It's a good keyboard. It's probably the only one I could personally recommend, and I've tried many - Unicomp Ultra Classic, Varmilo VA88M, Filco Majestouch-2 TKL and the Cherry G80-3000.

Very good tactile switches. And quiet.
Inset number keys a bit confusing but probably won't use them anyway.

This keyboard is quiet enough to use in an open-plan office and feels good when typing.

I was slightly worried about the layout, especially the function (fn) key placement over on the right side, but having used the keyboard for a while I now believe that this is one of it's best features. The placement of this key makes using the volume keys (on the cursor keys) and the home and end keys (on page up and page down) a one-handed combo. Someone should have thought of this years ago!

The Alps (reinvisioned) keysswitches have a good professional quality and feel to them, and there are enough ports on the chassis to plug in whatever you need.

The keyboard comes with 2 cables of differing lengths keeping your desk in order. And a nice detail is that the cable USB connecter is designed to work either way up (you *can* plug it in upside down or the right way up).

The keyboard is also small enough and light enough to be carried in a normal sized backpack with a PC.
Has worked flawlessly on Win10 and on Linux, including all the media keys and function keys like 'insert' etc.

Overall I am impressed and would deiniately choose a Matias keyboard again.

Excellent product, good switches, relatively quiet too. Best combination of size / noise / tactility.

Got this for when working in an open plan office. Very quiet and excellent tactile feedback. A real programmer's keyboard. Service from KeyboardCo was very good indeed (again).
