## What people warn about

- High cost not justified by extras (1 comments): "I felt most of the extra functionality and polish that I guess makes up the massive costs of UHK and ZSA wasn't actually necessary." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48160444))
- Unreliable when a phone is nearby (1 comments): "the shielding wasn't good enough to stop it becoming unreliable when my mobile phone was within about 30cm of my keyboard" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48160389))
