The backlight works great and the battery life is impressive.

Works great, the backlight is great, but when you first turn it on, every time the backlight comes on for a second, you have to fiddle around in the dark to find the buttons to turn the backlight back on, it would be a lot better if it remembers your settings and goes back to the state it was last installed. I'm also not sure yet if it's a keyboard issue or an android issue, but sometimes when I'm programming I press the { key right after the tab key, it just creates a space, so I have to use…

  • Stable test results

Longevity Issues - UPDATED

UPDATE 5/9/2017. Support contacted me after reading my review. They were very helpful and immediately replaced the keyboard for free even after I explained I could fix the original one. Sometimes good customer service is everything - and of course they delivered it this time. Added 1 star for customer service. Thanks very much! So far so good in terms of battery life. I'll update again after writing a few thousand more words on it. -------- Ordered as a travel keyboard for my trusted Surface2…

The keyboard doesn't work

Great keyboard, but ONLY IF IT WORKS! This is the most disappointing product I've bought in years. I bought a keyboard and it had terrible plug and play issues. It's embarrassing, to be honest, that the keyboard backlight only turns on when connected via Bluetooth. Also, the fact that the backlight turns off after just 10 seconds is crazy and defeats the whole purpose of a backlit keyboard - finding keys in the dark. In any case, I bought a second keyboard because I realized that the first one…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Periodicity

Wow. What have I missed?

Being a touch typist, I missed the ease of typing on the iPad keyboard. So when I invested in the 5th generation iPad, I decided to explore the idea of a keyboard. I didn't have much hope that I would be happy with this because I'm very, VERY picky when it comes to keyboard feel. As a typist, I've always chosen typewriters—yes, typewriters—and now computer keyboards—by feel. We have to match or it's over. If it doesn't have that special something I'm always looking for, I'll dismiss the…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • No

Upgrade: Upgraded to 4 stars. Two months after I wrote the keyboard instability report, Arteck support contacted me and offered a replacement. I'll see if this one works better over time. I appreciate the attention to after-sales service and replacement, although the two-month delay is a bit slow. Update: downgraded to 2 stars. The keyboard has become ridiculously sensitive. I'm a blind machinist and not a pound. Even if he was very careful with the slightest touch, he would get angry when he…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • High price

Colorful but not for long. {Edit: Beware of over-ratings]

This is the perfect form factor for my use case and is very light. I was very excited when I first used it, but the pleasure quickly wore off. After the first charge, I connected it to multiple devices (iPad Pro, Windows laptop) and it worked fine. I turned it off and put it on the shelf until I could pair it with a Mac-mini for use with a portable recording studio. Work with a laptop about 2 feet behind the monitor. It worked for about 2 days, turned on for 3-5 minutes during the day (mainly…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other options

Works great, great customer service, just a few cons

Pro's - $20 - Super light and thickest, probably about 2 1/2 - 3 quarters deep - I personally use this for my Asus netbook with Windows 10 and my iPhone 5S just for testing. (The iPhone's ease of use was really handy as I'm using this keyboard right now to write my product review on my phone. - Nice choice of keyboard colors - The battery seems to be holding the charger really well, although I can't say how long time, but I can say I used it sparingly for about 5-6 hours in one session on a…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Blank
