Testing of the Enermax Aurora Micro
I have being using the Micro for well over a month or so and immediately felt right at home with it. This could be largely due to the fact that I use a laptop for everything I do. Typing reviews and other documents, I was able to navigate across the keyboard without any issues. The fact that there is no number pad, when I am going through my spreadsheets was a but of a letdown. But then again this is a micro keyboard and you can't be a micro if you add another four inches to the side for a number pad.
One reason why I like keyboards like this and ones on laptops is for the short key strokes. The pressing of the keys are solid and short and this is due to the scissor structure. This allows me to type as fast as my skinny fingers will let me.
Gaming on this little monster was not so bad. Granted I am used to using a G11 for this purpose. The experience was different but very toleratable. I don't see anyone have any real issues using the Micro for this purpose but having a full sized keyboard is a better gaming experience.
Conclusion
If you are a common user of laptops and other portable devices, then you will be more than pleased with the Enermax Aurora Micro. For those that are not fans of the short stroke keys of such keyboards, another keyboard would be a better fit. For me, I felt the keyboard was solid due to the aluminum structure, but it was more than that. The keys were sturdy, but they were also very responsive and quick. I guess the scissor technique underneath the keys really pays off.
The only drawback to the Micro is the location of the Home, End, Page Up and Down keys. They are FN keys attached to the direction arrows. This will cause some discomfort for people that use these keys on a regular basis.
