"The keys are flat and don't have the perfected arc curvature that BlackBerry phone keyboards have. (I would know, I reviewed the BlackBerry Classic and it has an amazing keyboard)," an article on Mashable stated, after the keyboard accessory was examined.
"When I pressed the letter 'M,' my thumb kept mashing the buttons around it and I don't even have big thumbs," the review continued.
