AMAZING!

I was apprehensive going into this that I would have issues with the board.
Despite that, I took the plunge and swapped out my old DZ65v2 with the BT65.
I never expected it to be this good! The Bluetooth connection is solid as a rock, despite being in an Alu case with a brass plate. With the lights turned off, the battery lasts for weeks. I plug it in every now and then, and it hasn't run out yet. There is no delay in connection. When I come to my workstation in the morning, it is immediately connected.
The keymap configurator is very intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't had any issues changing stuff around.
My only single issue has been the fact that the battery level doesn't consistently update in the Windows Bluetooth settings. It will spend a week at 84% and then randomly jump to 62%.
In light of all the benefits and things that just work, I suggest that if you are considering converting your compatible keyboard to Bluetooth, just take the plunge and buy it. You won't regret it!
