Arteck Universal Backlit 7-Colors Bluetooth Touch TV Keyboard with Easy Media Control and Build-in Touchpad for TV-Connected Computer, Smart TV, Desktop, Laptop, iPad, Surface, Tablet, HTPC

Like most folks, I've used multiple of keyboards in my life. Of the various keyboards I've owned, I've generally had a high regard for Logitech keyboards. Unfortunately, I could not find any good option from them when it comes to a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad. The Arteck keyboard had decent reviews so thought I'll give it a try. My use case -- I wanted a portable keyboard+trackpad option for my Steam Deck. I don't currently own a laptop (have a mac and a PC desktop), and so figured I'll use my steam deck with a portable monitor and a bluetooth keyboard. I've used it for about a month now, and I am very impressed. This keyboard has honestly surpassed my expectations. I expected it to be a generic cheap product with bad build quality. In fact, it turned out that is one aspect I'm the most impressed by. After having using it for a month, I'm honestly surprised how good the build quality is. All keys have a good amount of travel. It's comfortable typing on this keyboard (as well as can be expected on a keyboard this size). Like I said, I've been using it with my Steam Deck, and it works just as expected. I didn't have to install any drivers. Steam OS connected to it just fine. And it works just as well in Desktop mode and in Gaming mode. The keyboard goes to sleep as expected, and if I return at any time and press any key it immediately wakes up the steam deck. The back lights are good enough. The trackpad works well. I can tap to click. Two finger scrolling works very well, and swiping down with three fingers shows the desktop. The trackpad buttons are of excellent quality as well. I've had no issues with the battery as well. I just put it on charge maybe once a week. Not sure how long it'll last if I don't but it seems good enough. I know i'm giving it an exceptionally glowing review, but I feel this product does deserve it. At this price I wasn't expecting anything nearly as good. Edit: 1+ yr update. The keyboard is still working just as expected. Absolutely no complaints thus far. One thing I noticed on the Steam Deck -- the trackpad gets identified as a 'mouse' in Linux Desktop, instead of a trackpad. That means to change pointer speed, scroll direction etc. you have to go to mouse settings instead of trackpad settings. Linux says 'No trackpad detected'. That had confused me at first. But the mouse settings do all I want, so no issues. But that does mean there is no way to turn off 'tap to click' in Linux (at least none that I could find). But I like to leave it ON anyway, so not a problem for me. One (very) minor gripe is that the manual is not available on the Amazon page, nor on the manufacturer's website. If you forget the instructions, having a manual is handy. Luckily a google search brought up PDF manual easily on one of the generic manual websites. I would suggest you download it and keep it for reference. I've pasted basic instructions using a label-maker on the back (I tend to forget the keys for changing colors, brightness etc.)

Update 10/24: Still going strong. Charge still lasts a couple of weeks of daily usage, sometimes very heavy usage, and always with backlight enabled. Have only had two instances where it lost pairing (died) and had to be re-paired with the PC. Still 5 stars! Update: It's been a few months and everything is working much better now. I did upgrade my PC's wifi/bluetooth and don't have any range/interference issues any longer, so those related issues aren't the keyboard's fault. Overall this keyboard is much better than any of the Logitech keyboards I've used for the same purpose, including the K480 Bluetooth keyboard. The Arteck keys are much nicer than the any of the Logitech keys, and it's way less bulky. Charge time is slow but the battery lasts a long time, so that's not really a negative. Changing my rating to 5 stars. ----------------------------------------------------------- I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks now, and do like it overall, but there are a few issues I have with it. It has even become completely unresponsive to the point I thought it had died, but I managed to fix it and am using it now as I type this review. Battery life overall has been very good, lasting several weeks so far with about 15 hours of use per week. * Keyboard sleeps too soon at times. Not sure why it does this, but it has stopped accepting input while I was typing a few times which is very irritating. I believe this is a range/interference issue, so be sure to stay within 15ft of the connected device. I use it at the edge of this range, and experience this occasionally. * Touchpad becomes very laggy at times. Same as above, this seems to be a range/interference issue. * Touchpad stops emulating mouse clicks when tapping the touchpad. Press 'Fn + Right Option' keys to re-enable the behavior. * Becomes completely unresponsive (dies) for no reason that one can immediately discern. The keyboard just stops working completely. Powering it off and back on would light the backlight for ~3 seconds and nothing else. No amount of power-cycling or key pressing would revive it. I was very frustrated with it and had resigned to having to request warranty replacement, but gave it one last try today. I pressed 'Fn + C' to try re-pairing to the PC, and it lit up! It turns out it had simply lost pairing with my PC! Be sure to do this if yours suddenly becomes unresponsive (including "dead" battery). If you can tolerate these issues this is a good keyboard overall.

This bluetooth keyboard will not pair with any computer. It is a total waste of money. Despite stating it has a 2 year warranty, Arteck just brazenly refuse to honour the warranty.

Great customer support. Best keyboard I had. Typed really well vs others and helped me type faster with less typos. It has a good weight to it, and the mouse track pad works well. Battery life is fine. The backlight gave way recently but support was on hand to sort. Whilst light worked it was perfect for night time work on laptop. Size is also just right - not too big so can be carried easily in a backpack but not too small that typing is ever an issue. Bluetooth connectivity really easy 10/10

I've been using this for over 2 years now. It's a backup keyboard for my gaming PC. As such it doesn't get treated particularly well, it's normally kicking around on the floor beside my simracing rig. Despite this it has never let me down. Having the keyboard and a trackpad is a godsend for when you need a mouse for navigation but not control and need to save space. It's light, the bluetooth connects first time every time. The battery is great, I think i've had to charge it a handful of times in 2yrs. No bloatwear or drivers. For under £50 you can't beat it.

Better than any of the Rii Keyboards. I give this HTPC keyboard with trackpad 2 stars, whereas I would give the Logitech K830 4 stars. There are no trackpads that can match the ones for Macs. For Windows, K830 is widely regarded as the best, but that was released in 2014, and technology has gone backwards. This Arteck HB305-4B has a terrible trackpad. The scroll functionality is almost so unusable that you're tempted to navigate with the arrow keys. The keyboard and backlights are good, but I need to press the ALT key extra hard to get it to work in Premiere. The volume controls are the main buttons on an HTCP keyboard, but they have been shoved in among the other buttons, forcing you to look at the keyboard each time you adjust it. The left and right mouse buttons feel the same as every other button so you will not naturally click them correctly each time and are they are way too low under the palm of your hand, so you need to stretch your fingers awkwardly to simply click and drag. As well, neither the the trackpad nor the mouse buttons awaken the keyboard backlit, which is ridiculous. The unit sits nicely on your lap or your chest if you are lying down. It looks good on a desk and doesn't take up much room, the keys feel nice and are spacious enough for me. Even though I give this 2 stars, I have not tried anything better yet, and I make HTPC keyboard review videos. The trackpad is really bad. I had to change the registry key in Windows 10 to get it to scroll in the proper direction. (run regedit, search: flipflopwheel, change value to 1 and restart your PC). I'm relieved that it scrolls in the correct direction now, but scrolling sometimes requires me to slide two fingers down the trackpad by more than a centimetre before the pointer moves. - Scrolling, Dragging and Pinching are awful - Volume Controls tucked away - Backlight good - Battery good - Keyboard good
