Review on Experience Ultimate Convenience With The Rii Mini Bluetooth Keyboard: Backlit, Portable, And Compatible With Many Devices by Chris Graves

The item arrived quickly within Prime delivery timelines. I appreciated the minimal packaging as I hate smaller items packed in loads of bubble wrap and Styrofoam. The item arrived in a padded envelope and in a small box undamaged.I found it was amazingly simple to set up. I have a custom Kodi box running KodiBuntu and OpenElec. I have one wireless USB dongle already plugged in so I plugged in the Rii's WiFi dongle next to it. I turned on the Rii and it worked instantly! I literally didn't do anything else for it to work properly in my setup.The back-light is essential and that's why I purchased this unit. Although the keyboard isn't lighted 100% evenly, all keys are illuminated in a nice soft white glow (some keys are slightly brighter than others.) When using search fields, the keyboard sends key commands to the Kodi quickly and efficiently allowing me to verify what I've entered on the screen immediately.I also really appreciate the physical on/off switch. The switch is tiny so it's out of the way. It's positioned on the top right edge of the device in a very ergonomic position to where a quick jaunt of the finger flips it on or off. The switch itself also has a couple "grooves" on its upper edge that allow you to locate it without looking directly at the device - a simple yet intuitive touch. This all makes it very convenient to quickly turn off the device when not in use leading to reduced battery consumption.Not all keyboard keys work for all software configurations. This review is based on my Kodi box setup. All the important keyboard keys work properly so far, including the volume, back, enter, and video controls to name a few, but I have yet to test each and every key.Pros:+ Feels GREAT in my hands. The soft rubber is very attractive to hold - I found myself holding it and not even pressing buttons.+ Very LIGHT weight+ Instant and easy setup. No installation or registration required (your setup may require additional steps.)+ Includes a USB charging cable and WiFi dongle so you only use ONE USB slot!+ Keyboard buttons are spaced out evenly. They have a nice feel to them and good tactile response when pressed.Cons:- The mouse touch pad is little hit and miss. I use the keyboard mainly for navigating.- No battery level indicator - only a low ba
