Review on πŸ’» Arteck Ultra Slim Stainless Steel Wireless Keyboard – 2.4G for PC/Desktop/Laptop/Surface/Smart TV, Built-in Rechargeable Battery, Compatible with Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP by Mark Greenwood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not suitable for travel or a quiet commute, but otherwise good quality and durable

My favorite wired keyboard on all Revain devices is the thin Kensington keyboard. The only problem with this keyboard is that it doesn't move very well unless you have a long travel bag. This keyboard gets points or starts for two things: its size, as it's very thin and very narrow in length, which is my main reason for buying it. Everything else about this keyboard is a downgrade from my Kensington keyboard, and there's a fundamental flaw in the connector motif. Good: --------+ Thin and light but no plastic. It looks like aluminum or something very nice. Fantastic build quality. + Very small. Some small keyboards say they're small, but they're actually full-size without the number pad. It is low by law. + No stupid batteries. It is rechargeable and the charger plugs into an inconspicuous place on the keyboard. Bad: -------- The loudest keys. You have a fair amount of space between the key and the keystroke under the toe, hence the noise is insane. Colleagues were very upset - the Bluetooth connector is not universal. I bought two of these and each connector had to come with the original device. Those of you used to Logitech devices will surely feel my disappointment. The Bluetooth connector/receiver is out of memory. Unlike many keyboards which usually have a space under the keyboard to place the receiver, this keyboard doesn't have that space AND you must have a receiver as the included cable is for charging ONLY. General: --- ------- For those prone to key loss (like me with ADHD), for those who travel extensively, and for those who like to type comfortably on a slimline or laptop without " crisp" keys; This isn't the keyboard for you. You'll be super upset, super fast. On the other hand, those who want a small keyboard that leads a relatively stationary life where keystroke volume isn't a concern, this is a really good quality keyboard for less than $40.

Pros
  • Great build
Cons
