(Backlit Version)Rii RK707 3 in 1 Multifunctional 2.4GHz Wireless Portable Game Controller 62-Key Rechargeable Keyboard Mouse Combo Turbo Vibration Function for PC/Raspberry pi2/Android TV Google/TV B

I purchased this to use with my Tivo Stream 4k, which I later replaced with an Nvidia Shield (more on that later).First,WHAT I LIKE:-Keyboard/trackpad and gamepad all in one-USB Dongle (BT connections just can't compare to USB dongled devices)-Compatibility. This works with any device that can take input from a keyboard, mouse, or gamepad.WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:-I'd love to see a place to store the USB Dongle. Something like this is handy to keep in my backpack, but USB dongles are easy to lose. I love it when a device has a place to store the USB Dongle in it.-Keyboard responsiveness.MY REVIEW:This will work with pretty much any device you can plug a USB dongle into, but I think it comes in most handy when being used with an Android TV box, especially if you already wish you had a keyboard.Alot of Android TV apps have made pairing the TV app with your account fairly simple, but not all.Some still require you to enter a login and password, so that makes the keyboard a must have.Beyond that, if you're like me, and access media from various location on your network, often requiring credentials, and entering IP addresses, then just go ahead and buy this right now.The first time you have to enter credentials with this, you'll be satisfied you purchased it.The gamepad, is very responsive. The ergonomics are good, considering what it offers, and does this while trying to remain compact, and the fact that there's an entire keyboard on the other size.There are many of these devices and you'll notice most of them don't exceed 4 stars.Don't let that hold you back like It did me for awhile before I finally "splurged" on this one.When you use it, you can see why no one really raves about these devices, but at the same time, you're so glad you got it.No, it's not as good as typing with a real keyboard, but a real keyboard is huge by comparison, and any decent keyboard is going to cost twice this device. You may sometimes find yourself having to retype a key, but it's still waaaaay faster than pushing arrow keys multiple times on an AndroidTV remote to get to each letter.No, it's not as good as a PS or XBX controller, but it's half the price, and has a full keyboard on the other side.For under $30, to have all of this functionality, that's small enough to be stored with your TV remotes, but capable enough to type, and game, that's a bargain.There's a part of me that wonders what if the manufacturer decided to make a premium version of this? What could they do with say, double the budget?Something important to note:This will work as a keyboard, AND a gamepad on ALL Android TV devices . . . except Nvidia Shield.On the Shield, you can ONLY use the keyboard.If you switch over to the gamepad function, it will not work, unless you choose to use Bluetooth, which is not ideal for low latency.This is NOT the manufacturer's fault, as I've tried other USB dongled controllers, including an official XBX controller, and none of them would work with the Shield.This is by design since Nvidia wants you to use their shield controller, not your own.Lastly, my seller was BoomTek and I wanted to shout out because I lost my USB dongle last month and they sent me another one and even told me how to pair my device to the new dongle. Great customer support.

I really wanted to give this thing 5 stars. in the end, there just too many little quirks to justify 5 stars.However, what it does, it generally does very well. For a raspberry pi (or one of the many functional clones), especially running retropi, or for an HTPC, this would be a great addition. the most telling proof is that on my laptop, with both the built-in keyboard and a cheap Logitech wireless, I am choosing this device to write this review. that was almost enough to push me into giving it 5 stars.One thing the Rii does *really well* is manage battery life. Though I wish the backlight stayed on longer (or was adjustable beyond "on" and "off"), I've had mine for over a week, I purposefully did *not* charge it fully when I received it, and it is still going strong.The quirks: In a typical review, you'll find sections like "the good" and "the bad", but in all honesty, this device doesn't really have any outright "bad" qualities. everything that I don't care for, has some fairly easy workaround.* there is no right-shift. this makes normal typing cumbersome. However, sticky keys is pretty simple to enable. I really wish it was enabled *on the device*, though, because when switching keyboards to a full-size keyboard you have to remember to turn it off* the "red"/"function" keycaps appear to have been applied over the top of the black parts of the keys. in normal light, this isn't a problem, but one of the points of a backlit keyboard is to be able to use it in dark conditions. since several important keys are "red" (all of the F-keys, single quote/apostrophe, double quote) it limits the usefulness unless you memorize the key locations. Many of the key locations are somewhat sensible, but there are more than a few that are pretty arbitrary.* switching modes is a bit of a pain. when switching from the mouse/keyboard side to the joystick, many programs only look for a connected joystick startup. so you can't launch the program, then switch and expect the joystick to work. some programs are fine, but others are not. The little USB adapter they give you should be able to present the joystick mode regardless, so your computer can detect the joystick. This isn't terrible, but it is definitely annoying, and it makes this far less useful than it could be. if you have to have a separate mouse or keyboard, what's the point?* the joystick maps don't always match. For example, with the joystick in "red" (x-input mode, according to the manual) mode, the joystick is recognized as an "Xbox 360 controller" Unfortunately, a "left thumb button" press results in your game seeing a "right thumb button" press. Pressing the right thumb button yields "button 13". pressing "Y" yields "black". this means that the default mappings for most games will have to be adjusted. not a huge deal, unless you have to adjust 500 games, but yet another minor annoyance.So, why do I suggest it's a perfect Pi accessory if I had problems? because none of the problems I had were deal-breakers, for my use case. I think it's helpful to know some of these things going in, but none of them make me regret my purchase. I'm considering buying another one to see if my computer can distinguish between them and because I have 2 OrangePi devices in need of keyboards.
