The Perfect Size and Great Quality
The keyboard on my YOGA laptop failed due to a bad ribbon cable. I just picked this up and I am so happy I did! It is the perfect size, it's backlit and has all of the features I'm used to. It connects every time and there is no delay, or dropped keystrokes. I also bought the protective case and it is also excellent!

Great little keyboard, particularly for people who hate typing on phones.
Got this as a replacement for another similar bluetooth keyboard that didn't meet my expectations. This one is great - small, light, easy to pair, good battery life, and types well.I use it when I have to sent messages of any reasonable length on my phone, as I hate typing on the phone keyboard. (When I am at home, obviously - I don't cart this around all day...) For that, it works great.

Arteck Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard
I use my pc's in an HTPC setup, and because of that I have had 2 expensive mechanical keyboards broken. My baby daughter almost broke a 3rd a few weeks ago, so I decided it was time to get a keyboard dedicated to non gaming tasks. It had to be a keyboard that could connect to all my gaming PC's and even my tablets and possibly even my smart phone. I have successfully paired this keyboard with 2 Windows 10 PC's, a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, a Nvidia Shield K1 tablet, and even a 2012 Asus Nexus 7 tablet even though I'm pretty sure the description for this keyboard says it won't connect to Asus Tablets. The keys are spaced very well, and are spaced just about like any other keyboard you would be using. It's kind of like typing on a laptop keyboard but of course without the 10 key. The keys feel pretty good, and are responsive. I was noticing some lag, but after moving my bluetooth dongle to the front of the pc, it seems to have went away. Before that I was getting some serious latency issues. (lag). The dongle's movement seems to have remedied that. On to some pros and cons.Pros: 1.The size, it is very small, and very light. I believe my Note 3 is probably as heavy as this. If not, it's fairly close. This keyboard would not addmuch weight to anyone who plans on traveling with it. So it would definitely work well with people who want to type a little better and faster ontheir tablet of choice.2. Aesthetics, to me it is a fairly attractive keyboard, and looks good in a living room setting for someone who doesn't want that over the top"gaming" look. It's all plastic, but has a brushed aluminum look to it.3. Has back lighting. I know you know this from the product description, but in an HTPC setup which will usually have limited light, that isdefinitely a plus.4, As stated before the keys, they are quite good, especially for something in this price range. Very responsive, don't feel overly mushy andthey do provide some tactile feedback.Cons: 1. The auto shutoff feature. It can be a little inconsistent. I understand that a keyboard with back-lighting and in such a small form factor willprobably need some sort of shutoff feature to make battery life acceptable but the wake feature isn't that consistent. Sometimes it takes up to10 seconds to fully wake up to begin typing again. As a result, I just hit the space bar and count to 10 before I attempt to type again. So far thishas remedied the problem, but 10 seconds to wake can be a little tedious at times.2. The back is pretty slick. If you plan on doing any real productivity type work with this then you will either need to prop it up against a fairlystable tablet, or you will need to get some little rubber feet to stick on the corners. It's not really an issue to me, as I only use it my lap, and onlywhen I'm not gaming. Even when I use it with my Shield tablet, I use it in my lap, but it does need to be mentioned as a con.For $20 dollars it seems like a pretty good keyboard. It's got a lot a features and functionality that you would expect from any keyboard. It's definitely got some quirks and it's not perfect, but then again the Corsair K70s I bought that were broken weren't perfect either, and they costs 6 times what this did. If you have realistic expectations for a $20 dollar keyboard and take care of it, It may be a decent purchase for someone. I can't speak to the durability of the product yet, but if any issues arise, I will update my review to reflect them. It may be an inexpensive keyboard, but that doesn't necessarily have to mean cheap. Hope this review helps someone. I apologize if it's too long for some, but I like to be thorough because I want people to know what I have had success connecting it with, and why I bought it. For those of you who care, the large Arteck logo isn't even on mine. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even say "Artech" on the packaging. It says HB030 Bluetooth keyboard, and that's fine by me. I don't really want big tacky logos on something that sits on my coffee table.Arteck Universal Backlit 7-Colors & Adjustable Brightness Ultra Light & Slim Portable Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Keyboard for iOS iPad Air, iPad Mini, Android, MacOS, Windows Tablets PC Smartphone Built in Rechargeable 6-Month Battery

Great little keyboard! Love it!
What an incredible little workhouse!! Connectivity has been super easy, as I am not a tech type person. I have used it with my Samsung, iPhone, iPad, and my son has linked it to his PS5. I find the battery to be sufficient for our casual needs. It’s lightweight and perfect for travel in lieu of a laptop or easier typing at a cafe. It has quiet and backlit keys. I could not be more satisfied with the convenience of this keyboard.

Amazing keyboard; excellent value
I bought this keyboard for use with an iPad. An external keyboard allows you to utilise all the screen on the iPad (since you don't need the soft keys, they disappear). It's really made a difference using Office products (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) on my iPad, and my productivity on any single document has improved several times over. Out of curiosity, I connected it to my laptop and I have to admit, I like it better than the space grey Apple keyboard I normally use. You're not supposed to put prices in these reviews, so I'll say it this way: you could buy seven Arteck keyboards for the price of one Apple keyboard. It's important to note that the Arkteck keyboard does not have a number pad, and the key spacing is slightly smaller than the Apple keyboard, but I don't think this has a significant impact on use.Pros:Ergonomic--I have large hands and long fingers, but I find the keys perfectly spaced; moreover, the height of each key contributes to a tactile reach, meaning that my fingers are better able to find each key by memory, which is not always the case with keyboards with much smaller key profiles; and the click-and-clatter of the keys is pleasant rather than jarring. The keyboard is extremely thin and light (but a weighty light, not a cheap light, if you get my meaning), and easily fits in my briefcase, attache bag, backpack, desk drawer, etc.Inexpensive--definitely not very expensive, but it has the weights and appearance, and general design of a more expensive keyboard; this keyboard's cost is so low, in fact, I bought several to give t the family, and to have at home and the office, as well as one that lives in my backpack for those just-in-case times.Back-lit keys--changing the colour of the back-light is fun, but the back-lit keys as such are extremely valuable when you find yourself in low-light situations; also, the lighting has two settings so you can find the one that best fits your eyes and the available ambient light.Charge--The technical specifications indicate 366 hours of non-stop use without the back-light. I can't say I've tried to run it in such a way as to test the claim precisely, but, using the backlight for about three hours in the evening and no backlight for around five hours during the day five days a week, and around half that on weekends, I can report that I haven't charged the keyboard for the three weeks that I've owned it, and it's worked perfectly the entire time. This isn't particularly different from my experience with the Apple keyboard, which has no back-light.Durability--I'm not particularly careless with the keyboard, but I've dropped it a couple times on a hard tile floor and experienced no issues with either its cosmetic appearance or utility.Cons:No number pad--this is the only issue I have with this keyboard, but to add a number pad would negate the form factor and one of its key features, size, since it is deliberately designed to be small and ultra-portable. However, if you are used to a number pad, you will notice not having one and it can make working on documents with lots of calculations a bit more trying than you might like.
