Review on πŸ” GenBasic Advanced Wireless Backlit Keyboard with Touchpad - Ideal for Android TV, Media Center, and Raspberry Pi by Meechie Camlin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent, almost perfect remote control HTPC / KODI

In fact, these are the same devices as the Rii, and they are of high quality. I've been using them for several years and they are no different. They seem to have been renamed after this company, but they really are of very high quality. The only downside I've found over the last few years of daily use is that the backlight doesn't always turn on automatically and requires a 2 button combo to turn it on every time, and the buttons are so good and clicky are a bit noisy. These small complaints are not a reason for me to shoot down a star. The only reason to remove a star is that I don't see a way to turn off the trackpad, which is overly sensitive and touching it a little will distract from what you're doing with the buttons. As long as you can stay away from the trackpad, this is a near-perfect remote. The backlight is very bright, the battery lasts for months on each charge, and the keys show little to no wear after heavy use. Use with Windows 10 and Kodi.
