Review on πŸ”Œ Arteck HB030B Slim Portable Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Backlit Keyboard with Rechargeable Battery, Black - Universal 7-Colors by Rob Dixon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

After 2 months, every letter becomes a repeater (Previous title: This keyboard works to the fullest - here's why.)

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 started repeating a letter two or three times in each word. And of course. too late to return. I bought these together with an Arteck protective case and a stand for the Arteck HB030B Bluetooth keyboard (Bluetooth keyboard not included) and was initially a bit annoyed that they were sold separately and not as a single package. I got over it. They're available individually and together, and the keyboard is amazing! 1) Perfect size. I type blindly with fat fingers, so it's difficult, to say the least, to find a tablet-sized keyboard that lets me type 70 words per minute at up to 80 gusts - without a large number of fat-fingered typos. It helps. It's small enough to fit in my purse but big enough to fit my fat fingers. Oh, and it has a really nice touch too. 2) Bluetooth: compatible and easy to pair. I mainly use this with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 (Android), but also occasionally with my iPhone (iOS). Yay for the compatibility! 3) Long battery life with convenient USB charging. ' said Nuff. 4) Easy to use. I might be a bit of a techie, but when something has too many buttons, circles, and arrows, I get overwhelmed. The Arteck keyboard is so simple and intuitive that I could teach my grandmother how to use it in about 2 minutes or less. (Well, if she were still with us.) 5) Very cool with multicolored lighting. I'm easy to talk to. Oh look, it has colors. I'd be perfectly happy with a regular backlight, but the colors add to the fun.
