Arteck 2.4G Wireless Touch TV Keyboard with Easy Media Control and Built-in Touchpad Mouse Solid Stainless Ultra Compact Full Size Keyboard -Connected Computer, Smart TV, HTPC

I am pretty criticical of keyboards because, it’s the the device that most people interact with the most and actually look at the least. I have purchased, tested, and returned test 32 keyboards in the last 7 months with prices ranging from $8 to $400; this keyboard is one of the few that I settled on for the work that I do because I need a reliable input device that can take some action and keep up with the pace. I use 4 To 5 keyboards for specialized work that Ido in the film, creative, and business settings. This keyboard isn’t the best, in terms of a long list of criteria, but I have yet to find a single input device that meets all my needs; the closest I’ve gotten is a 6 inch keyboard made by another company, but it is too small.Where this board excels is in the support of their products. A 2 year warranty is a very long commitment to stand by their product and that’s something that is the paramount when dealing with hardware; and if you’ve ever tried to use a computer without a hardware input device, it’s not a happy time.Frankly, if I i could design and build my own I would because for some reason, the idea of a full size keyboard, meaning a keyboard with the option of lighted keys, a numeric10 key, arrows, functions, macros, and a mouse or trackpad is a uni-llama it just doesn’t exist. So the market is filled with these weak, too thin, too compact and too fashionable devices that may compete on a head to head who has the thinnest device but not who has the best design, or fit for purpose device.100% if you want a keyboard that is comfortable and 100% reliable, go for wired, if wired isn’t an option this is your best best. What works for me, regular AAA batteries means I can have them charged and read to replace as opposed to having to constantly track down cables, bricks. and extensions for the built in batteries. If you need to return, you keep the batteries and therefore you don’t need to deal with all the extra steps of shipping with special labels, packaging, and shipping times. The keyboard has a decent spacing of the keys so you can mount the keyboard from different angles and find the home keys (F & J) and start typing. The touchpad is large enough to have full right/left buttons and also isn’t often throwing keys because the receiver is too far away. Let me tell you this is the a #1 problem you’ll have with any wireless device, if there’s interference, it doesn’t matter how much you paid or how big the batteries are, you’re gonna have problems.Biggest ‘con’ I would say the hot keys over the track pad. It turns out that is the best place my muscle memory has found to grab it from, and it also happens to open a obéisse window. In the beginning this drive me crazy as I was constantly closing Chrimw, but once I remapped the keys to a more useful function, it actually turned out to be a huge help. The only thing that isn’t so much a problem as it is an annoyance is the Fn keys. They don’t gel well with their locations so any F1, F4 etc has to be done with a little dancing and fitness. It’s an easy work around, but at the same time when you’re looking to play a device like a fine instrument and it doesn’t meet the mark, it’s a great let down. But I’m happy with the 2 I have and will probably get a few more moving forward.

I bought one of these to use with a media server and hadn't set it up, yet. When my (wired) blufinger keyboard died I switched to this Arteck since I had it sitting on a shelf.So far, it's working fine - I like the keyboard action better than the Blufinger "gaming" keyboard. A version with a numeric keypad might be better for me, but it's not the end of the world to use the number keys.I kept using my old mouse and simply disabled the keypad (Fn-space).Not a fan of keypads except for things like media servers or notebooks.I really like the keyboard's typing action and ordered two more of them. One to replace the media server keyboard (setting up RSN) and another keep as a spare.A lot of keyboards don't seem to last more than a year or two, so I'm sure the spare will get used and everything could get hard to find if the tariff situation messes up availability.

The key pad works well with a MacBook. I needed it to clamshell my MacBook since my screen broke. The touchpad is inverse though but it’s not that big of a deal. It’s easy to set up and a smooth process. It even comes with starter batteries. Customer service replies back fast also, which is good.

I'm so far impressed by how good this thing looks with the stainless steel keyboard and the raised keys. Feature wise it has all the normal keys and setup but the only bitch I have is the mouse pad is too small. That's it. The previous 2 other brand wireless keyboards had problems and were returned but this one is a keeper. Plugged in USB drive and started working with no problems .

The keyboard is fine, works good. However, there is a 'feature' on the keyboard that causes it to power off after a very short idle time (a few minutes). This requires you to a) discover the keyboard is off by trying to type on it, and then b) flip the keyboard over and toggle the power switch to off and then on again. Really annoying. At the very least, there should be a way to disable this 'feature' but there doesn't seem to be one. Makes it difficult to use without constantly thinking about the power switch.

Arteck keyboard was out of warranty, they did help me through the process of getting the keyboards back in service.
