Arteck2.4G 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 love these keyboards and keep coming back to them when I need one. Solid construction, sleek appearance, small footprint and good key response for such a flat keyboard. The trackpad works great and the battery life is stellar. They easily work at 12-15ft away, and further with direct line-of-sight to the receiver. I don't know if they are technically spill-proof, but I did have an accident with one once, and had to drain, clean and dry it before using it again. Afterward it was like it never happened....I'm using that very keyboard to write this review.My only complaint is that the price tends to fluctuate a bit on these. In the $25 range, they are good buy, but at recent prices, I'm glad I don't need another right away. Just do what I do and watch for a sale, then buy a couple to have an extra on-hand.

I was very impressed with the quality of this keyboard, especially given the low price. I's easy to set up and works great. The one thing I regret though, is that if I had it to do over again, I would buy one that the keys illuminate.

First off when I opened the keyboard it looks like it is used. It already had fingerprint smudges on the touchpad and the metal surrounding the keys also had what looks like finger smudges. It also had one very small scratch. I know I didn't pay much for this keyboard, but I did expect a new one. It did however get delivered very quickly. It had free overnight delivery. I ordered late evening and got it early morning the next day (Houston, TX area).I got this for use with my NAS that can plug directly into my tv via hdmi. When the dongle is plugged into one of the back USB ports the keyboard only works when I am standing within a foot of the NAS. At two feet it is intermittent and any further it stops working. Touchpad that is, I didn't try typing. I tried the front USB that is normally used to do quick backups with a thumb drive, so I won't be able to do that easily with this keyboard plugged in. In the front port, it does work at about 6 or 7 feet, which is how far away my chair is. I didn't try it any further. As the title states, the touchpad sensitivity is not so good. It is sometimes a little difficult to get the pointer where you need it, to click. The pointer is not smooth, it is jerky. Maybe due to connection, but even close it isn't smooth. The keys seem to work okay. I was able to type into a browser fine. Although one of the shift keys clicks when pushed, but it works. I have an app for my phone with a touchpad area that works well (maybe a bit too sensitive), but typing is with the normal smartphone keyboard. Not as good as a regular keyboard. That is why I got this keyboard/touchpad.I'm giving it 2 stars because it does function and was not expensive. Not worth sending it back and it is slightly better than the phone app. I guess I'll keep it. I thought about 1 star since it also appears to be used. But since the delivery was so fast I decided on two.Update: I tried this on my desktop to see if it was maybe my NAS that is the issue. It was similar on the DT. If I plug into a back USB port it works but intermittently. USB port to keyboard about 3 feet with stuff in between. I have a USB extension cable and if I put the dongle on the top of my desk it works pretty nicely. I think I could get used to the feel of the touchpad if it worked like this. I then went back to my NAS and if I plug into the front USB and stand within 2 to 3 feet with nothing between the dongle and keyboard, it works pretty nicely. Certainly doesn't work at 10 M. So it seems the signal strength is weak on this keyboard.Update 5/10/2022: I have updated from 2 stars to 4 stars for their service. They contacted me quickly to try to rectify the situation. They sent me a replacement keyboard but unfortunately it's connectivity wasn't any better. They then issued me a refund and are sending a full-size multi-device Bluetooth keyboard for my inconvenience.

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.
