It took about an hour to fully charge this keyboard case (which is recommended before the first use). It paired quickly with my 1st Generation 7" Kindle Fire HD (7" KFHD), and they keystrokes were responsive, with no lag time.As the Product Description says, this case only fits the 2nd Generation HD and HDX.  Since mine is the 1st Generation 7" KFHD, my Fire wouldn't snap into the case.  That said, I was able to place it against the back of the case, where it rested nicely at the proper angle while I did my typing.  However, if you have a 1st Generation Fire, you won't be able to use this as a carrying case for your Fire.  Keep that in mind if you need both a keyboard and a case for carrying your 1st Generation 7" KFHD.  If you have the 2nd Generation 7" KFHD (or HDX), this case should work well as a case and a keyboard.One more note (and in my opinion, most important)...  If you type by touch, like I do, you probably won't like this keyboard because the symbol keys  (like the ; : key and the ' " key, which are normally on the home row, are not on the home row.  My pinky, instead of resting on the ; key, rests on the "Enter" key.  For a touch typist who types at 60+ wpm, this was enough to drive me batty.  It was also enough to remove 2 of the 5 stars, giving this only 3 stars.  However, if you're a "hunt & peck" typist, the "wrong" placement of keys probably won't be as big a deal for you.
