Arteck2.4G Wireless Touch TV Keyboard with Easy Media Control and Built-in Touchpad Mouse Solid Stainless Ultra Compact Full Size Keyboard -Connected Computer, Smart TV, HTPC

I bought one of these to use with a media server and hadn't set it up, yet. When my (wired) blufinger keyboard died I switched to this Arteck since I had it sitting on a shelf.So far, it's working fine - I like the keyboard action better than the Blufinger "gaming" keyboard. A version with a numeric keypad might be better for me, but it's not the end of the world to use the number keys.I kept using my old mouse and simply disabled the keypad (Fn-space).Not a fan of keypads except for things like media servers or notebooks.I really like the keyboard's typing action and ordered two more of them. One to replace the media server keyboard (setting up RSN) and another keep as a spare.A lot of keyboards don't seem to last more than a year or two, so I'm sure the spare will get used and everything could get hard to find if the tariff situation messes up availability.

I love these keyboards and keep coming back to them when I need one. Solid construction, sleek appearance, small footprint and good key response for such a flat keyboard. The trackpad works great and the battery life is stellar. They easily work at 12-15ft away, and further with direct line-of-sight to the receiver. I don't know if they are technically spill-proof, but I did have an accident with one once, and had to drain, clean and dry it before using it again. Afterward it was like it never happened....I'm using that very keyboard to write this review.My only complaint is that the price tends to fluctuate a bit on these. In the $25 range, they are good buy, but at recent prices, I'm glad I don't need another right away. Just do what I do and watch for a sale, then buy a couple to have an extra on-hand.

Okay changed my review from 2 stars to 4.... The lack of scroll wheel config is ultimately Microsoft's fault but PLEASE Arteck, update your drivers to be touchpad based or include software to provide an easier option for ppl to change gesture scrolling direction....If you google how to invert touchpad direction windows 10.... you'll find steps to edit the Windows Registry to do this.... But it's NOT for the faint of heart.I've been in IT for 11 years (General IT management for 2, hardware support for 5 and software support for 4)and this was relatively straightforward for me. It took maybe 20 minutes to search and figure it out.... But it's still VERY VERY TEDIOUS....The steps:From the start menu search for device manager and click on itIn the box that pops up, click the branch for "mice and other pointing devices"If you see more than one option start with the top one.double click on itGo to the details tabin the drop down bar, click on device instance pathRight click and copy the "value" and paste it into a notepad (oh yea open notepad)Go back to the start "search" and type in cmdRight click it and choose run as administratorType regedit into the black box.This is your computers registry! Welcome!The registry might be open to a branch already.You're looking for HKEY_LOCALMACHINE> SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet> Enum > HID > VID_something_something... Mine was VID_248A&PID_etc etc....Open the dropdown arrow for the one that matches your notepad valueClick on device parametersIn the right side of the window you should see a list of options...Double Click on FlipFlopWheelChange it from "0" to "1" and click OKHold down the ctrl button and the S button... to save the registry.Close out of the registry... If there was more than one HID or mouse device listed in the Device Manager, SAVE the notepad with them unless you want to go through those steps again to get the other one.Now restart your computer and if you edited the correct one, it'll scroll the direction you swipe!!!!I know because I'm using the keyboard right now to write this and scroll around..I don't know why microsoft took away the mouse wheel scroll option in the control panel. Maybe so software drivers could control it? But the registry is still there it's just a giant pain for more people..............Here's my original rant from 30 minutes agoIf you use 2-fingers and slide up on the touchpad, it scrolls down... slide 2-fingers down the track pad and it scrolls up.EVERY SINGLE LOGITECH I'VE EVER HAD ALLOWS THIS OPTION TO BE CHANGED.This comes with no additional driver options and no additional software..I got this because it seemed solid and I liked the idea of a lightweight (software-less) keyboard..Sadly Windows 10 has done away with scroll wheel options built-in.Instead they rely on the manufacturer to provide this through the drivers..It's EXTREMELY disappointing because I really really like the feel of this keyboard over the mushy logitech ones.But I'm forced to move back to logitech as I can't get used to the inverted scrolling. My brain just can't do it. Not when I use in-direction scrolling for every other computer in my life lol. (work, media, laptop, etc).Darn shame.I gave it 2-stars because the build-quality is definitely excellent. It feels super solid compared to logitech. I'm so sad I have to go back.If you're still reading this, do NOT get a charge-able logitech keyboard. The internal battery is microscopic.You have to charge it daily even with average usage or the keys will start mis-registering.Stick with the k400 plus... it runs on 2 AA and it'll last you a few years.

I am pretty criticical of keyboards because, it’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 isn’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 I’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 that’s something that is the paramount when dealing with hardware; and if you’ve ever tried to use a computer without a hardware input device, it’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 doesn’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 isn’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 don’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 isn’t often throwing keys because the receiver is too far away. Let me tell you this is the a #1 problem you’ll have with any wireless device, if there’s interference, it doesn’t matter how much you paid or how big the batteries are, you’re gonna have problems.Biggest ‘con’ 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 obéisse 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 isn’t so much a problem as it is an annoyance is the Fn keys. They don’t gel well with their locations so any F1, F4 etc has to be done with a little dancing and fitness. It’s an easy work around, but at the same time when you’re looking to play a device like a fine instrument and it doesn’t meet the mark, it’s a great let down. But I’m happy with the 2 I have and will probably get a few more moving forward.
