Title: Stylish, well made and effective.
Review: I originally bought a different keyboard from this same company, which can be found at the following link.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XLYMXY3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I have several computers in one room and I had hoped that a multi device wireless keyboard, would enable me to cut down on a bit of desktop space.Unfortunately, although I liked the aesthetics of the keyboard, it failed to reliably connect to more than one device, and I returned it to Amazon after spending a very frustrating couple of hours trying to get it functional.Having learned that 2.4G connections work reliably in my office, but that bluetooth connections do not, I abandoned the idea of ‘one keyboard to rule them all’ and purchased a couple of these, instead.I own a couple of highly effective Logitech K400i 2.4G keyboards, and considered buying another two of this model, especially as they were on sale at the time of purchase.Then I saw this product, also on sale, at a very slightly cheaper price than the Logitech board, and ordered.The product arrived the next working day.It looks good, the keys are well spaced, with a good, positive action that is pleasant to type upon.Without disassembling the unit, I cannot say for sure, but the keys feel like they have a plastic scissor below the button, with a membrane below that.No keyboard of this type is going to give anything like the kind of tactile sensation experienced when typing on a mechanical board, but if you are used to using a fairly high end laptop on which to type, you are going to feel right at home with this.The trackpad works and seems as effective as the pad on the Logictech boards.I am using these two boards with Lenovo M920 Tiny PC’s, both running Windows 10 Pro, so I don’t use gestures, and cannot comment on how well they are supported.Set up was very simple. Plug in the RF dongle, and that’s it. Good to go.Aesthetically speaking, you’ll either like this, or you won’t.The brushed metal body of the board is going to be a fingerprint magnet, but to my eyes, it looks quite good on the desk.The keys have a pleasant look, the plastic used feels fairly high quality,and the ‘chiclet’ style will be immediately familiar to those of you who like to be told what to like by a certain manufacturer, although I have doubts about the longevity of the legends if you are intending to use the board all day, every day.All in all, I am pleased with my purchases. I cannot comment on the reliability or longevity of this board, but generally speaking, this is an excellent product that is completely suited to my needs, that cost less than Â£20 when I bought it.

Title: Faulty item but excellent Artek customer service
Review: ***UPDATE 03/03/2021***I have now rested the replacement keyboard in an office environment. No problems whatsoever. Really nice keyboard to type on. Works well.***UPDATE 15/01/2021***Since returning this item Artek have contacted me via email with a generous offer to send a replacement item free of charge. This is despite the fact that I have been given a refund by Amazon. Despite having already bought an alternative keyboard from a competing brand I have accepted their offer on the basis that the original keyboard may have been faulty rather than design flawed. At this stage I am very impressed with the level of customer care that has been demonstrated and will update the review again after I have tested the replacement keyboard.***ORIGINAL REVIEW***At first glance this thing is good value. It’s well made, feels sturdy and made from quality materials. The layout of the buttons is good for man sized hands and the media controls are nice to have.However, I had a few problems with it which ultimately have caused me to return it. The main issue is the wireless range; this is nowhere near the stated ten metres that is stated in the product details. Suffered with an intermittency from my sofa about four metres away from the receiver, mostly when using the touchpad. I had to move an armchair very close to the receiver, about 1.5 metres away. Even then I had to hold the keyboard up in the air to use the touchpad.I think it would probably work fine if it was placed on a desk, right next to the receiver but this is no good for use in a living room as a media controller. Aside from the range issues this keyboard would benefit from some further mouse buttons placed ergonomically where the hands naturally sit when holding/using it on your lap. For instance, on the underside of the keyboard where your left hand naturally falls (or in the are above the F1 key).Overall, very disappointing. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Title: Great keyboard for that all in one experience!
Review: My tale with this keyboard has it’s ups and downs but thankfully it ends with an up, a big thumbs up!Impressed by it’s styling and compact design, I was drawn into purchasing this keyboard to fit my ‘sit on couch and control PC plugged into telly’ experience, much like the bad guy does in James Bond, Tomorrow Never Dies.The price too is very competitive.However this is where my story takes a downward trip. After receiving the keyboard, I discovered there were some technical issues with the kit. It kept losing connection, I couldn’t track properly with it and it wouldn’t function beyond 3 metres, way below it’s advertised. Now you would say, “return it!” But the fool that I am, decided to forget about it and go on holiday! Whence I returned, I remembered my misfortune and the anguish struck deeply as I was no longer within Amazons return period.But yet, after contacting Arteck and explaining my issues, they very kindly and heroicly sent me a replacement! Huzzah I cried! And so yay, the problems were fixed! I am once again, a happy man. Sitting on his sofa… typing this out… on my shiny and impressive Wireless Touch TV Keyboard from Arteck!Buy it! It’s worth it!

Review: I am pretty criticical of keyboards because, itâ€™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 isnâ€™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 Iâ€™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 thatâ€™s something that is the paramount when dealing with hardware; and if youâ€™ve ever tried to use a computer without a hardware input device, itâ€™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 doesnâ€™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 isnâ€™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 donâ€™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 isnâ€™t often throwing keys because the receiver is too far away. Let me tell you this is the a #1 problem youâ€™ll have with any wireless device, if thereâ€™s interference, it doesnâ€™t matter how much you paid or how big the batteries are, youâ€™re gonna have problems.Biggest â€˜conâ€™ 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 obÃ©isse 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 isnâ€™t so much a problem as it is an annoyance is the Fn keys. They donâ€™t gel well with their locations so any F1, F4 etc has to be done with a little dancing and fitness. Itâ€™s an easy work around, but at the same time when youâ€™re looking to play a device like a fine instrument and it doesnâ€™t meet the mark, itâ€™s a great let down. But Iâ€™m happy with the 2 I have and will probably get a few more moving forward.

Review: This is a very short review, because the keyboard and the touchpad both work great! What more can I write? A poem about a keyboard? (For linux users like me, a three button touchpad would have been more useful, but I knew about it when I purchased it, so cannot complain.)

Review: I bought an Artek keyboard like this one three years ago to use on a raspberry pie computer. I has worked well, so I bought a second one for my kodi pc. After four months it stopped working. I contacted Arteck to make a warranty claim. I went through their troubleshooting (new batteries, reboot, Esc+Q etc) and Arteck sent me a new keyboard. They stand behind their 24 month warranty, you just have to jump through a few hoops (6+ emails).
