Beautiful look, great design. Works perfectly.

If you're looking for a compact keyboard then this is an exceptionally good choice - it's good value, has a very attractive design and all the keys are in the right places. On many compact keyboards, the right SHIFT key shifts to make room for the arrows, but since touch typing uses the Shift key and almost never uses the arrows (since they always seem to be in different positions on any given keyboard), this doesn't have one Sense playing around with the layout of the TYPING keys. This Arteck board has just the right layout and I can type at full speed without looking, which is an absolute requirement for my needs. A few words on technology and aesthetics - this keyboard (I have a black model) is surprisingly attractive. It's super thin and the body consists of a slightly curved front (top) layer of plastic with two buttons that protrude far enough to provide pleasant tactile feedback and a smooth sheet of steel that curves around the bottom of the body and contains a refined steepness Curve up to maintain a slight slope. Four small rubber feet prevent slipping and a small rubber slide switch is used to switch it on. The overall look is very nice and it's by far the most attractive keyboard of any size I've owned. There's a micro-USB charging port on the right edge, but I can't say how long the charge will last. , because it has been working on the first charge for more than a month. While the lithium-ion battery isn't very large, it also consumes little power, so I don't expect to have to plug it in more than a few times a year. My only concern is that there is no way to swap out the built-in battery. In fact, this is less of a concern than it used to be, as the latest lithium-ion technology seems to last for many years. If it lasts, say, 5 years or more (which seems very likely), then replacing it with another $22 in 2025 wouldn't be a big deal.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
