I bought one last week with the extra $5 off. Heads up to those considering it. It arrived couple days later from UPS, shipped by a company called "click go and buy". The keyboard is in excellent condition, with nearly no wear at all (like shiny keys which I would hate). Just some minor scuffs on the bottom plastic. The aluminum top and all the keys are in nearly new condition. This of course is YMMV, but I rolled the dice as it's 2/3 off the retail price. The battery was completely dead when it arrived. Charged it up with no issue and a week later it's still at 88%.

Is it USB-C? Thank you!

No. It's the lightning version which I prefer since my trackpad and mouse are the lightning version also.

I got a green one from a recent deal at woot. It looked ok, but battery would not hold a charge for more than a few minutes, and it would not pair. Waste of time. My experience is that Woot refurbished stuff is more trouble than it is worth. This has happened with other items I have bought from Woot.

I definitely lucked out, and on this keyboard definitely a dice roll.

I bought 2 other refurb items from Woot. One was an air purifier and the other a steam mop. If they were sold as new I wouldn't have questioned it, other than shipping in a plain brown box.

Same experience. Left it charging overnight. While plugged in the OS claimed it's at 100% charge. After unplugging it, bluetooth disconnected and when I plugged it back in, the battery is at 3% and wouldn't connect unless it's plugged in.
Setting up a return is also frustrating since the keyboard has a li-ion battery, you need to contact Woot via email instead of going through the standard process.
