It lasted for several long days of working in wireless mode without any sign of conking out on me, which is good news if you want to take it around with you without having to include the easily losable cable on the trip. It's equipped with a 1000mAH LiPO rechargeable battery.

You can choose to either plug it in via USB 2.0 or use the built-in Bluetooth or Wi-fi connectivity. There are ten programmable keys too, and quick-start directions on the back of the keyboard help switch quickly between OS setups, for example. The Wombat Pine Professional will work with pretty much any operating system, but is clearly built first and foremost for Mac users, with Mac symbols featured alongside Windows ones on vital keys (CMD/⌘, etc.), on a 108-key US layout, with a full tenkey and numpad layout. Wombat Pine Pro review: Features and typing experience

The key symbols are dye-sublimated, meaning they're firmly ingrained in the keys, so you won't see them start to rub off for a long time, even in heavy use, unlike many other keyboards where they are printed on and will start to peel or rub off much more quickly.

There's absolutely no flex in it as you hold it, thanks to the aluminium top frame, and it's impressively bottom-weighted too, meaning it will stay firmly in place in your desired spot on the desk. Wombat bills this as 'the last keyboard you'll ever need' (according to the greeting on the inside of the lid as you open up the box, at least), and while I'm obviously not going to be able to verify that with a decades-ranging long-term review series (please speak to my editor if that's something you'd like to see, you weirdos), I can confirm that this keyboard is impressively sturdy in its build quality and key setup.
