Review on Arteck Ultra Thin Bluetooth Keyboard 9.7 Inch – Enhance Your Tablet Experience with Top-Quality Accessories by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Sensitivity and reliability issues Degraded performance

This is a promising product that is becoming increasingly frustrating to use. The keyboard is extremely unreliable. It keeps adding multiple keystrokes, which requires continuous revision. Spaces and punctuation in particular are very common, sometimes up to 5 times for a single keystroke; To make matters worse, the navigation arrows and delete function are *also* repetitive, which means it's almost impossible to go back to the offending characters to delete them, and doing so will almost always delete a few characters, so you end up deleting incorrect characters. and you have to reprint them and repeat this whole fiasco over and over again. Furthermore, there is a delay between typing the navigation arrow and the actual movement of the cursor. Therefore, you may not know what letter you are on when you try to delete or paste it. The result is a constant, annoying back and forth that sometimes gets so bad it's almost impossible to write anything. After 6 weeks of daily use I'm getting more and more frustrated with this keyboard and don't think it's a good product. .Some other criticisms: The layout is Mac-centric with some overlaid two-button functions. Not all blue function keys work. The Bluetooth connection is usually good, but it breaks from time to time and it can be very difficult to recover. Battery life is good, but there's no low-battery warning; it just doesn't work anymore. Because the, as already mentioned, sometimes the Bluetooth connection also stops working. It can be hard to tell why your keyboard isn't working - it could be the connection, it could be the battery. In short, the keyboard works fine *when* it works, but when I try to use it I constantly compensate for its flaws. I'm bored of this.
