X8 Mini Keyboard,2.4GHz Portable Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad Mouse,RGB Backlit,Rechargeable Battery for Android TV Box/Mac/PC/Nvidia Shield

Absolutely love the thing. Bought this for use with my HTPC and it does the job perfectly. The track pad works great, and while I hate track pads, it's much better than having to have somewhere to put a mouse and the room to move it around. The scroll wheel functions just like a normal scroll wheel on a mouse, and has a "middle click" button. The volume buttons are an awesome convenience. The connection is solid and I haven't had a problem with it whatsoever as well. The RGB is either the rainbow effect (it doesn't move or flash) or other solid colors you can choose from; not much customization, but that's not what I bought it for, and shouldn't be what you buy it for either. The brightness of the keys is great in a completely dark room which I do use it in. It's super lightweight, easy to use, and fits in the palm of your hand. The keys feel as nice as they can for a device of this price and size; you're not meant to be typing essays on this of course anyways. Also very impressed to learn that the battery is removable when it arrived! So if the battery dies, no need to throw the whole unit away, just buy a new battery. It also charges via USB-C which is very nice, and does come with a short cable if you don't have one. I will definitely buy another one when I'm in need of a small control device for a PC like this.

Works great. The layout of keys is good and I can read the keys easily. No issues pairing it like I had with bluetooth. Having the scroll wheel built in is very nice.

So, let’s start with the cons, since I could go on about the pros. As someone with large hands, I definitely wish this product was a bit bigger, or at least more ergonomically designed. I often cover the wireless sensors with my finger and have to hold it a bit awkward to type. I also have found that sometimes my PC will randomly stop accepting the mouse input altogether, and I have to get up and unplug/reinsert the dongle to get it to function. That could be an isolated issue, but it still stands. As for things I like, it’s really easy to use and the backlight for the keyboard is bright when it is on. The track pad surface is just big enough, and as much as I like the built in scroll wheel and left/right click buttons, I usually find myself using the trackpad for all mouse use. It’s pretty light, and it lasts quite a while on a single charge, even if you’re prone to accidentally leaving it on like myself. All the buttons are very responsive, and while I don’t use the media and volume keys, I’m glad they’re included. The addition of more full size keyboard keys like Ctrl and Shift also allows for an easy experience when copying or moving files around in folders or filesystems, as well as making keyboard shortcuts a snap. Overall, if you’re looking for something that’s easy to use for a HTPC or gaming computer on a TV, this is a great solution. However, if you’re modifying lots of files at once, you may find yourself better suited getting something like a more typical, “full-size” keyboard-and-trackpad combo. This was a quick solution for me, personally, since my previous mini keyboard remote stopped working after it took a hard tumble. It suits my needs, and Rii has always been a brand that makes the odd products that seem to fit what I’m looking for, with good quality at that.

This is a dream come true really. While flight simming I have to push my full sized keyboard behind my yoke, making typing very cumbersome. I picked up a smaller Bluetooth keyboard to keep off to the side, but that wasn't ideal either due to having to scoot over to use it as intended (with hands on the home keys!). Now I have this handheld keyboard and man is it nice. It's really plug and play on my windows 11 pc. Just plugged the dongle into my USB hub and it worked right away, no setup required. Now it's always available sitting on top of the yoke, so now entering airport codes, frequencies, whatever, is as easy as reaching for it and using it, and works very well. Seems well made with responsive keys and a logical way of using the shift and function keys to obtain special characters and/or the Fkeys. Backlight works well and changing the color scheme is effortless. The mouse track pad also works very well, which was a surprise to be honest. I didn't think it would be useful, but I'm finding that I'm reaching for my mouse less and less. Yeah, it works that well. And this is coming from someone who really doesn't care for laptop track pads. Also, very glad it has a rechargeable battery, just plug it in after every flight and it's ready to go next time. Overall, a very well thought out devise. Highly recommend.

I work for a software company and spend most of my day typing, clicking, and scrolling—so my shoulder and neck have been in constant pain for months. This little device has been a game changer. It lets me work comfortably and dramatically reduces how much I use my shoulder and right arm. It works perfectly, fits nicely in my hand, and feels intuitive to use. If I were being picky, I’d say I’d love a small tactile marker on the F and J keys so it’s easier to tell where your fingers are without looking, and I wish it registered quicker button presses. Even with that, I absolutely love this device and have been recommending it to all my coworkers and clients. Great price too—it’s already gone up since I bought mine, but hopefully it stays reasonable because it’s worth every penny. One more thing to note is that it stopped working for me at some point and I had to update the device driver to get it to work again.

Edit 2: The scroll wheel died this morning. Never buying a Rii product ever again. This review started as a 4 star and has progressively fallen as I have more time with this poorly made product. Must have just gotten lucky with the other model I had that I loved. edit: after a longer time with the unit I'm still struggling with connection issues. It hiccups and reconnects every time I use the device, and yesterday I lost all touch pad control until I unplugged then plugged in the unit. Lowered from to 3 stars. Sometimes it will skip typing whole words or just repeat the last letter typed. Some features not as good as the i8, but still very good. Most of my critiques are because I have 5 years using the older model and have yet to get used to the new keyboard even after a few weeks of use. First and foremost, the wireless radio in the X8 is not as good as the previous model. It always misses double letters or spaces if you type a little fast. The touch pad sometimes struggles to register input and is occasionally sluggish, seemingly due to a weaker reception (anything more than ~4ft gets a bit slow sometimes) . The range of the device seems lower than the i8. I miss the dedicated media controls and right/left click locations. The scroll wheel is very high quality and has a middle mouse button click, but I find it not placed very ergonomically, and I find myself using the touchpad to scroll most of the time (works great) I also preferred the keyboard layout of the previous model, with f keys and a delete button. The larger keys and offset layout of the X8 is good, I just wish fewer functions were hidden behind the function key. There are many improvements and features that I really love about this keyboard. The USB-C charging and easily removable battery are top tier features. My older i8 (purchased ~2019) does not hold charge for more than a day and a half of use anymore, and replacing the battery is less intuitive. The X8 has a standard rechargeable battery that's easy to find replacements for, so in terms of longevity (over 5 years), the X8 is easier to maintain long term. The RGB settings are cool (I keep mine all red) Battery life is great, we use this keyboard every day for light browsing tasks and I charge it about twice a week. Overall, if it were more or as responsive as the i8, this would be a 5 star product. In using this keyboard to write the very review you have just read, I encountered issues with registering double letters, and spaces if I typed too fast. However, the quality is good, and I recommend this for media centers or light browsing.

📏 Size: 5.8 x 3.8 x 0.6 in ⚖️ Weight: ~5.3 oz 🔋 Battery Life: ~3–5 days per charge 🔗 Connection: 2.4GHz USB Dongle (plug & play) --- ✅ Objective: This isn’t just a novelty—it’s a fully functional keyboard and trackpad in one palm-sized unit. The 2.4GHz connection is rock solid with zero noticeable lag. RGB lighting offers multiple color modes. It supports PC, Mac, Android TV boxes, Raspberry Pi, and even game consoles (for text entry or navigation). Keys are tactile, the touchpad is surprisingly responsive, and the built-in multimedia hotkeys are perfect for home theater control. --- 💭 Subjective: For gamers: Don’t expect full-size performance, but for Steam Big Picture or quick console nav, it just works. For techies: Excellent HTPC companion. For casual users: If you hate pointing your remote like a caveman, this is your evolution. Bonus style points: RGB makes it look like it costs more than it does. 🧠 From HiTekHQ: I use this to control my media center from the couch, swap playlists mid-edit, and yes—impress friends with my “tiny hacker rig.”

I really wanted to love this thing as I am trying to set up my PC to run as a sort of quasi console of sorts, but still want a keyboard(and "mouse") conveniently available whenever needed. This device felt perfect as it was tiny and could serve as both in a nice stylish non obtrusive option that could fit in my couches center console next to me for use when needed, and best of all it was rechargeable! (Which my couch console also has built in). So it looked great on paper and even when I first received it I was over the moon by how cool and perfect it looked.... Unfortunately this is where the excitement ended. Upon actual use, what I assume is due to the bluetooth connection being extremely poor, causing it to fail to recognize inputs a lot...especially mouse 1 your most important input...this makes it extremely frustrating to try and do anything. And mind you this is despite it having 2 methods to use mouse 1, both have the same issue, hence why I think its a bluetooth issue more than anything. And mind you my living room is by no means massive, it is about 6/7ft from the receiver which should be more than manageable for a supposed 2.4ghz bluetooth connection. On top of that another extremely annoying aspect is there is no dedicated delete button, rather you have to hit the function key and then the backspace to hit delete, which admittedly wouldn't be a big deal if that was all you used delete for, but since you need to hit ctrl+alt+delete for task manager, and ctrl+alt+fn are all on the same side as one another it makes it rather annoying to have to basically set this "handheld" keyboard in your lap to be able to then position your hands and fingers in a way to be able to press all 4 buttons at once. All in all I gave it a 3 star though to be honest I went back and forth between 2 and 3 as it's probably more of a 2.5 than anything. It does function*, it is neat and compact and convenient*, but the execution just leaves a lot to be desired. I am likely going to grab the highly popular Logitech keyboard alternative instead and am undecided if I will still keep this for simple light tasks and just have the Logitech as workhorse when I need to do more complex tasks but we will see. This is only my first day using it so maybe it will grow on me or maybe it will set my rage in fire even more and I will punt it right back to amazon lol who knows.

i like it

This keyboard works 100% straight out of the box, the trackpad works and the scroll wheel works on my Google Tv menu and in apps, someone tried this on a Samsung gaming monitor with smart tv, and the touchpad and scroll wheel didn't work, so keep this in mind as far as compatible brands and tv types go. The keys are quite responsive, though it's smaller than I thought, even watching videos and images, looks slightly bigger, but until you get it yourself, it is small, but very usable, when using the touchpad, the mouse pointer moves from one side to the other about 25% of the screen if you move slow, if you move your finger on the touchpad fast, it will move about 75% of the way, so at times you will need to slide a few times but this is no big deal, if anything it's a good thing, not being too sensitive, thinking where did the pointer go, the mouse pointer stays on screen for about 10 or so seconds before it disappears, so that's good when watching tv or movies. So confirmed, this works perfectly on my 58" CHIQ 4K QLED w/GOOGLE TV (U58QG7L model), looking over Amazon, they seem to work on several other tv brands, but I cannot confirm these, but should be fine, check reviews for your brand or tv type to see if anyone has listed it.

Very handy and keyboard works great. One down side. If you have an older tv the usb bluetooth can sometimes not be recoginised hence not being able to use the keyboard for apps or tv control. That said if you have a fairly modern smart tv you have no problem using this device.

As discrip, but some time it cutting

Keep disconnecting, then reconnecting, even if below 3meters from receiver. Very disappointed
