Perfect, compact, easy to use and has a backlight!!!
Really love this keyboard. It is a perfect fit in my average sized hands, all the keys are easy to reach. The backlight makes it perfect in low light. I wish the function keys were able to be visible with the backlight on as well. That is just a minor issue as there are only three function keys that I use. It has a full keyboard which others don't, which is what I need. I connected the dongle to my computer and am able to use it in any application. My main use for it is in Kodi and it is so much better than the full wireless Logiteck keyboardbwith touch pad I was using.I would recommend this over any other mini wireless keyboard of similar look as it has the right and left mouse buttons located at the top instead of two little buttons by the touch pad, sort of like a Playstation controller. You an also do right and left clicks on the touch pad as well as scrolling. The touch pad it is the perfect sensitivit for me, much better than the Logitech I was using.I also love the replacable litium ion battery, which can be purchased on Amazon as well, BL-5B. The keyboard turns itself off when not in use and is awoken by any button press. It also has an on/off switch when not in use for extended periods of time. Mine charged quite quickly, the first recommended charge before first use. Not sure how long will take to charge from dead or how long a full charge will last but will edit once I find out.The only negative thing I would say, and this is just personal opinion, is I wish it had the six axis feature. If it did then it could be used as a game pad as well for racing type games.No installation required completely plug and play. Convenient, easy to use, fits in my average size hands perfectly, has a full QWERTY keyboard and love the backlight feature. Also you can't beat the price! Overall, I would recommend this over similar items on Amazon!Additional info after a couple weeks of use...Have had the mini keyboard for a couple of weeks now and wanted to add some more thoughts.I still am very happy with the keyboard and its performance. I have had no issues whatsoever. I am not sure what the complaints about the battery life are about, I have been using it daily and the battery lasted me just over two weeks. It may be due to the other reviewers using the backlight excessively, that I am sure drains the battery much faster. The layout is perfect for my needs, using it to navigate through Kodi which is installed on my PC desktop. It also works on the computer without issue, which is located behind my flat screen TV.I have had no issues with it disconnecting or with distance. The furthest I have used it is about five feet from the computer. Still am very impressed with the fit in my hands, layout and feel. Really like the fact that the right and left mouse buttons are located on the top if the device and not littlle buttons on it.As to others complaining about the touchpad and the curser being erradic. I think it may be caused by a dirty or greasy tochpad. I experienced the same thing but once I cleaned the touchpad it worked as usual. Made the mistake if eating fried chicken then using the keyboard with greasy fingers. It is responsive with minimal, if any, delay.I still believe it is worth my five star rating and would recommend it over other mini keyboards of similar design but without the added features. Only thing I would like to suggest is a six axis feature be added so it could be used for game play without having to rely on the buttons for everything.

Wonderful little device, and cheap too
I'm reviewing the Rii i8+ 2.4GHz version of this keyboard.I'll start with the "bad" (not really bad -- just something I've seen other people mention): I have seen other reviews saying that the mouse is "twitchy." To be fair, I had this experience briefly also... until I switched fingers. It does not seem to work well with my thumb. Using my thumb, the mouse moves erratically, and sometimes doesn't register my movements at all. However, if I use my index finger, it works like a dream. Not exactly "my" dream, per se, since I'm not a big touchpad fan in the first place, but it works as well as any other touchpad. I think it's related to surface area. If I use my thumb, or jam some other finger onto the pad, it stops working well, but if I use a light touch with the tip of anything but my thumb, then it works flawlessly.The keyboard works as you'd expect it to. i.e., there are no technical problems whatsoever. As others have mentioned, it does go into a power-saving mode if you don't use it for a few minutes, and you do need to "wake it up" by pressing a key before you can use the touchpad again. You can't wake it up by moving your finger on the touchpad.If you're like me, you may have looked at the pictures and expected it to be somewhat bigger than it actually is. In reality, it's about the width and height of a game controller (I think -- I once had an Xbox, so that's my reference), or maybe a little smaller, and it's much thinner. It's very light (much lighter than my phone, for example), and that may affect your perception of its build quality. Personally, I found the fit and finish to be very professional, though I would have preferred the instructions and branding on the touchpad to be removable. To me, the lack of weight mostly lends to the impression that if I threw it against the wall, my primary concern would be what it hits on the ricochet. I'd expect the device itself to be fine. No, I haven't actually tried that, and no, I don't ever expect to. But for some reason, that's my mental standard for "how sturdy does this feel".Overall, I find myself to be very satisfied with this little device. I have a bunch of computers, phones, and other devices that could all benefit from a keyboard, but which don't need one all the time. The Rii keyboard is the kind of thing where I could buy one for each device, and it would neither cost too much nor take up too much room. It even comes in several colors, which makes it easy to tell which keyboard goes with with device. I wouldn't want to use it as the primary input device for anything like a computer, as there's no substitute for touch typing, but for occasional use, it's a whole lot better than an on-screen keyboard, and it doesn't take nearly as much physical space as a real full-size keyboard.Addendum: I see that Rii now sells a similar keyboard where they've replaced the pad on the upper right with a scroll wheel. This seems like a fantastic idea, as I use the scroll wheel quite a lot. Mind you, the two-fingered scrolling gesture on the touchpad does work just fine, but an actual wheel would certainly be welcome, and I've already ordered one of those new devices. Too bad they don't seem to have multiple colors for that one yet.

Small, lightweight, batteries last forever. (Figuratively speaking)
Love this little gadget. Only minor knock- the touchpad is a little jumpy. Takes some getting used to, and still requires a bit of extra finesse. But the unit boots up in under 2 seconds, functions EXACTLY the same say as a full sized keyboard (so no learning curve), and a charge can last thru months of use.Some folks might find the keys to be small, but I mean... you're ordering this BECAUSE it's small, right? Having owned the original Motorola Droid cell phone with the slide-out physical keyboard, where the keys were about 2/3 this size, I'm fine with these keys.I am using this on a dedicated media PC connected to my TV, thus my desire for a tiny form factor. Sits right with my remote control, easily out of the way when not in use. The real selling point compared to a larger keyboard is the dedicated media buttons. Play/pause/FF/REW/VOL+/VOL- without having to remember which keys to press or move the mouse to the screen icons. No more fumbling to pause the TV when the phone rings, etc.
