Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ iClever BK10 Bluetooth Keyboard: Rechargeable Bluetooth 5.1 Multi Device Keyboard with Number Pad for iPad, iPhone, Mac, Android, Windows - Full Size & Ergonomic Design by Eric Carr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Disable the energy saving setting of the Windows Bluetooth adapter in the device manager!

As soon as I started using this keyboard, I noticed that when switching from one application or window to another, there is a 1/2 second input lag and the first character repeatedly is entered, although I have only clicked once. I am using this with a Dell Latitude 7490 laptop. First thing I did was update the Bluetooth drivers from the Dell website. It did not work. I cycled my keyboard and then restarted my laptop, then disconnected and reconnected, but the problem persisted. I initiated a trade on Amazon thinking I had a bad keyboard, but later found it very important to disable the power saving option for your Bluetooth adapter in Windows Device Manager. You might think that the manufacturer of this keyboard should have a special insert in bold red letters advising customers to do this first. Otherwise, the keyboard works well now, and I really like the slim form factor. I got some desktop real estate back without sacrificing 10-key functionality. I've used a Logitech K800 before and it's a great keyboard but it takes up more space compared to this one. It will probably take me a while to get used to typing on these unobtrusive keys.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
