Arteck Universal 2.4G Wireless and Bluetooth Touch TV keyboard Multi-Device with Easy Media Control and Build-in Touchpad Wireless Keyboard for Smart TV, TV Box, TV-Connected Computer, Mac, HTPC

I think it's nicer than it looks in the ad photos.Easy to set up and works well.

With 2 PCs it is inconvenient littering a desk with 2 keyboards and 2 mice so I jumped at the opportunity to get this keyboard with trackpad because it supports 3 devices with easy switching between them.But really I would not have done so if it had not been for developing bad RSI from unavoidable over-use of a mouse, reason being that I am hopeless with trackpads, I always give up on them and use a mouse, but here I had a reason, the need to let my hand recover from mouse-induced RSI.So I eagerly set up the new keyboard and quickly had it working with 2 PCs. The non-Bluetooth connection with the dongle works well. Bluetooth connections to PCs I find are flaky because of the inadequacies of Microsoft's Bluetooth implementation in Windows, leading to missed button-clicks, missed movement, and so on, so for my main PC I always use a non-Bluetooth connection.I made an effort to adjust to using the trackpad, which Windows sees as a mouse, so I adjusted the mouse options in the Settings app, which helped. But I quickly discovered why I never got on with trackpads in the first place. Firstly I find using a mouse is much quicker, I can't get the knack of using a trackpad quickly, I've tried, but it just doesn't work for me. The other problem is that occasionally my little finger would accidentally graze the trackpad, something which, with time, I might learn to avoid, but it caused me no end of confusion wondering where my text cursor had vanished to, as that light graze caused focus to switch to another app. Not the fault of the keyboard or its trackpad, just MY fault in not being able to re-train myself.So I persisted for a couple of days, by which time my RSI had lapsed somewhat, so I went back to my familiar keyboard (also an Arteck!!!) and (Anker) (vertical) mouse. But I keep the new keyboard handy for when I need it. It is always useful to have spare items such as this, you never know when you will need them.Incidentally the trackpad can be disabled and the keyboard itself has a nice action and a good layout. Not quite as quiet as my other (first) Arteck keyboard but good enough. I did notice however that on occasions I would press a key hesitantly and get 2 characters appear in my edit, which suggests debounce is not as good as it should be. Not a problem I have with my first Arteck keyboard.So I am glad I got this keyboard, and using it with the trackpad disabled is an option if I can't fix my tendency to accidentally graze the trackpad. The trackpad incidentally responds to 2-finger movements for scrolling, which is good.I also like the fact that, as with my other Arteck keyboard, it is rechargeable, which saves a lot of hassle with batteries. And lastly, the keyboard is stylish, smart-looking, and it does not wobble or shake, as it has good resistive feet on the underside. As well as an on/off switch in case it is not being used for a while. AND a recess with a magnet to retain the USB dongle used for the non-Bluetooth connection.Overall, it's a very versatile keyboard. Not often you get something this versatile.

People who know me will tell you I don't give 5 stars easily ! But this is a real exception to that rule. Rechargeable and the battery last days of operation. It has a simple one press, 4 light flashes (25,50,75,100 %) charge indicator. Charging cable is included, but it's a standard micro-USB anyway. 37cm wide it fits (IMO) perfectly in your lap and is light but the keys are big enough to operate easily. I don't know about you but I don't like keypads that are too small and fiddly. As Goldilocks once said this is "just right" ! Simple connectivity by radio to USB dongle, need to be fairly close but no problems or Bluetooth. I've connected to ; PC, Fire-stick, iPhone, Android mobiles all with no issues whatsoever. Good looking black and brushed aluminum with built in mouse pad and left and right mouse buttons where the numeric keypad would be on a regular keyboard. Mouse pad again (IMO) is just right, not sluggish and not lightening fast that you can't see it ! The fact it's mobile and can be used with many different devices make this a great thing to have in a modern household, especially if (like me) you hate typing on remotes. Just get one or stick it on your Christmas list !

I tried a number of keyboard alternatives to work with my apple/android devices and found the Arteck HD197 works perfectly. It connects seamlessly to my devices has a good build quality with a very positive key typing action and an excellent tracker pad. Connectivity is either bluetooth, which I am using, or wireless USB which I found works with a USB to USB-C adaptor if required. Great value for money

Initially worked well but after time it went faulty: unless I’m less that 0.5m away from the receive it won’t work.Sod’s Law this happened just after my return window closed.I’d recommend finding another keyboard.UPDATE 03/07/24 - customer service team got in touch to say that the keyboard has a 2 year warranty and shipped out another keyboard for me to use. I haven't checked the keyboard works yet and I hope it lasts longer than the last one, but good customer service.

tl;dr: don't waste time and money and listen to other reviews mentioning short working range.Biggest flaw -- both Bluetooth and USB dongle working range are the worst I've ever seen. For USB dongle it will work ONLY in direct sight of it, and 2-3m max. Anything obstructing direct sight to dongle will make keyboard unusable -- even if you put it on your laps in front of TV, it will stop working. If you turn it a bit, it will stop working. BT is a bit better but the same overall -- won't connect to my laptop under TV in a closet behind thin wooden door.Keyboard itself is pretty nice for this price (metal panel, good buttons, has touchpad, sturdy), and having two BT connections plus USB dongle is a big advantage but it is COMPLETELY ruined by the fact that nothing works unless the keyboard is <1m from the connection source.
