Stylish, well made and effective.
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 ÂŁ20 when I bought it.

Phenomenal and premium looking
I am one of those who doesn’t usually leave reviews. But seeing so I really struggled to find a decent keyboard I wanted to help others.Positives:• Very high end looking and feel• Cold metal finish• looks more like a high end Apple device• matches the description• comes with batteries• tactile let’s which don’t make a lot of noise• low profile and heavy weight gives premium feel• trackpad is brilliant and comes in handy when doing word documents and even when browsing online• pinch and zoom / magnifier works• scrolling is precise and works great• shortcut buttons above the trackpad work superbly and are handyCons (not many)• enter button is too small. Should be wider.• arteck branding/name is on the top left which makes it look less premium.• the trackpad makes a discreet electronic whirring noise when you use it. Amplified more because my study is peaceful.I would highly recommend this. I bought a £90 Microsoft keyboard and returned it. Then a Dell £90 premium keyboard and returned it. Both were overpriced. Then a £30 keyboard and mouse. Broke after 2 months and felt like a £30 kit. Then got this - absolutely phenomenal and great value. I might buy another a backup but think it comes with a warranty anyway!Please don’t hesitate to buy.

Good product. Well made
Really like the look and feel of this keyboard. Brushed aluminium is very stylish. Keys are well-spaced and easy to type on with enough feedback. Good selection of function keys though the Enter/Return key is a little small.Connects easily and reconnects instantly on pressing a key after it goes into auto standby to save power.My main issue is that the touch pad is not that great: it lacks a little in accuracy and two-finger scrolling lacks smoothness. However it is very usable.It would also benefit from having feet to raise the back of the keyboard and make typing a little more comfortable. Good value for money, I would recommend.
