Review on FELICON Mini Portable Wireless Keyboard - 84 Keys For Android, Windows, PC & Tablet-Dark For Home And Office In White by Matthew Seamster

Looks much better on paper and Youtube than in reality

The keyboard looks nice and the 84 key layout is perfect for my mobile usage needs but that's about where the positives end.The stickers used to label the keys aren't aligned well and it looks like it was outsourced to some 4th grade art class.If you can type 130+ WPM then this keyboard will be a great bottleneck to your productivity as it doesn't seem to have enough bandwidth to keep up. When typing quickly there are frequently times when it will still detect inputs even though I've already lifted my finger from the corresponding key and the problem goes away entirely if I intentionally slow my typing. This is the first time I've run into such a problem despite having tried a multitude of different generic BT keyboards with my tablets over the years and it's honestly quite disappointing considering this is the most expensive variant I've tried to date.The marketing and other paid reviews brag about the amazing automatic sleep mode, but since it takes 15 minutes of idle time to kick in you're basically wasting 15 minutes of battery life every time. What's more, if something accidentally presses against one of the keys during transit the keyboard wakes up and resets that 15 minute wait period. I put the keyboard in my bag before heading out for lunch and found that it was trying to sync when I pulled it out again about an hour and a half later. This would be a complete non-issue if the board simply had an "off" button and is another example of something "smart" being a lot dumber.Despite only having used the keyboard for seveal hours my impression thus far is that it is all show no go. It's far worse than the Arteck keyboard I was using recently which costs 50% less, would not recommend this 308I to anyone.Edit - updating this review to one star because the batteries didn't even last a week. What a piece of junk, definitely returning to Best Buy.
