Arteck Compact Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad Tablet iPhone PC Black

This little keyboard is the perfect laptop keyboard. It's lightweight, has shallow keys, and it's obviously super portable. It works really well with my HP Omnibook And I'm sure it will work even better after I find an upgraded HP Omnibook that I'm currently shopping for! Great functionality, terrific finger comfort and quiet. Also a very great value!

So I got this because it needed to fit inside a messenger style bag that would fit a 14" laptop for use with my ROG Ally. The thought process was to use this to do some PC gaming on the go, stuff like World of Warships that just can't really be played with the built in controller. Therefore I needed something light, with a semi-full size keyboard but in a compact factor. I have the Logitech K250 but it was too big to properly fit inside the bag. I also had the ProtoArc foldable keyboard and while THAT was a fantastic device, my son needed a portable keyboard more badly than me to I gave it to him. I wanted something that didn't need folding so I happened upon this one and decided to give it a shot. I will say that it's actually pretty darn good. I'm a touch typist so the keys have pretty decent travel and feels okay, but not too mushy. Portability is there, it's really light. I have the same batteries that came with the device and six weeks later haven't had to replace them, and they've been in use for about an hour a day for five days a week since, so not too shabby. Overall, glad I got this and fits well with my scenario. Eventually if I go with another ProtoArc I'll keep this around as a dedicated desktop keyboard, even without the numpad on the side.

The connectivity of this keyboard is great. Really quick and painless. It is a very clickity clackity board so there will be no silent typing. Definitely on the noisier end of the spectrum. The thing that bothers me most is the CTRL key placement. Why they decided not to put it on the corner is beyond me and is something I’m going to need to get used to, especially since all my other keyboards have a normal placement. It is very light which may hint to lower quality but it may be purposeful for ease of transportation. For the price I paid I’m very happy.

Great keyboard for the price! I had been using Logitech K380 with a Chromebook & having issues. Purchased this Arteck keyboard and am very happy with it. It is easy to setup and use and when pair using Bluetooth not have to enter code. Also Logitech pairs with upto 3 devices which I believe creates complexity & confusion

This keyboard is perfect for working with my tablet! Very handy since it easily fits into my backpack!

I have only had the keyboard for 1 hour and I love it. I am entering all the books I have read from Kindle Unlimited into a spreadsheet on my iPad. I entered the first 150 from the iPad keyboard and that was a pain, not easy to type fast (feels like hunt and peck). I just entered the next 50 very quickly and easily. The keyboard feels good and is very responsive, no lag between key press and showing on the screen. It is a good size, I use it like a regular keyboard (actually typing with both hands). My fingers are not crammed together so I can actually type comfortably and quickly. It is very light but the rubber pads on the bottom keep it from sliding around so feels solid. It is longer than the iPad is wide which is very good. I am excited and recommend this to others. It is battery powered and I don’t know how long the batteries will last (at least an hour so far). Great price, good feel, highly recommended.

I normally don't write reviews. Even the few times I have written one, I have generally been positive in my feedback. I truly do want to commend small manufacturers that take the time and effort to create products. However, this time I am compelled to write a negative review. This keyboard showed me all the great characteristics it claimed to have. Quick, easy connectivity and pairing, great battery life, small and lightweight. Those were all great. But it has started failing in the single most important feature a keyboard should have. The ability to type reliably. It's been just a short few weeks since I bought this keyboard and started using it. I use it with two of my iPads and my old MacBook Pro. I can confirm that, while it connects with all of them flawlessly, the typing experience leaves a whole lot to be desired. The keys simply stick too much. I can't even pinpoint if these are specific keys that are sticky. Practically everything is a lottery. For instance, hitting the spacebar will start generating 20 or more spaces. Backspacing to clear them ends up in the keyboard running amok and wiping out 40 characters, including the 19 unwanted spaces from the previous operation. I virtually have to resort to 2-finger operation, hitting keys precisely and carefully, and taking my finger off the keyboard so as not to give it any additional touches to go crazy. Just over the last couple of days, it frustrated me no end by repeating keystrokes as I was trying to login to my computer. Just imagine that. Logging in means the password characters appear as asterisks. You cannot even figure out which key has repeated. It took me about 10 minutes to login. At first I thought it was just me typing too fast. But it seems I can touch-type at a slower pace and it still misbehaves. I am extremely annoyed by this and am thinking of returning it. I am not sure if other users have ever experienced this. Perhaps it is a matter of a malfunctioning keyboard, not of its design. I can only provide my feedback from my own experience. And it has been bad. The problem is that it happens so randomly that it makes me wonder what exactly is going on. For example, this entire review has been typed using this keyboard and these problems have only occurred a few times. Of course, the few times include when I had to backspace to fix a typo and it ended up wiping out whole sentences. Extremely frustrating. I am actually going to write to the vendor and either ask for a replacement or a refund. Update: The vendor has been very prompt in responding to the review and offering a free replacement. I appreciate their efforts and am now awaiting the new keyboard. Keeping fingers crossed and hoping this one works out better. I'm revising my review upwards by a bit.

EDIT: After the below review Arteck customer service got ahold of me almost immediately. I wantto say I am extremely impressed with how fast they contacted me and how much attention the representative paid to my problem. They offered to send me a replacement free of charge and after I confirmed my order number I had a replacement the next day. The replacement is perfect. There is no warping and everything works exactly as it should. I must have just gotten a random bad one the previous time. I would recommend this keyboard for anyone looking for a light weight keyboard that is space friendly, pairs easily with mac products, and has good battery life. Well done Arteck. I really like so many features of this product. It paired easily with my mac, the size is great, and so far the battery life seems to be pretty good. HOWEVER, the plastic body casing on the unit I received was incredibly warped. Its very easy to see visually but even more noticable when you start typing and can feel the body flexing beneath your fingers. It also makes alot of noise slapping against the desk because of this. I really do like this keyboard and to be honest I almost thought of ordering another one because it fits my needs quite well but ive already spent the money. and dont feel like doing returns during the current pandemic. Maybe I just got a bad one. Its workable, just frustrating.

It works it connects but takes batteries thats on me I should have read more carefully

Pros: Light weight Fast key travel Cons: Slow to switch between devices, have to restart the keyboard every time to connect with another device Literature which came with the product said supports Bluetooth V. 3.0 but product description said can support V 5.0

Matched my expectation. Works well with my apple products

Really easy to install/connect to my laptop. Works promptly when the laptop is switched on. Nice feel to the keyboard. Keys feel solid and the connection is clear. A couple of the special characters printed don't align with the software I use but [e.g. shift 2 is not the @ as described but " - I think this is an apple vs microsoft config thing - but it is easy to overcome/remember the differences]

Replaced my standard keyboard that came with my Dell all-in-one. Easy to pair with my windows desktop. The only pain is that shortcuts aren't as easily performed. For example I have to also press the Fn button if i want to adjust volume or lock screen. Takes some getting used to but not a deal breaker. Super slim and compact!
