Review on Rii i8X Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad Mouse – Portable, Backlit, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, 2.4GHz by Joe Bottomkent

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice little keyboard for HTPC

This is really good value for money. The keyboard is very small, but suitable for thumb typing. Most of the time the input is recognized, not too many dropouts. I think the keyboard would be better if it was a bit bigger, it can be difficult to hold on to due to the curves. The backlight is very good, however, it's not always on when using the keyboard, and there's a dedicated FN+Win key that turns it on and adjusts the brightness, which is great except that a specific character on the key isn't visible is at night. , even when the backlight is on (the letters FN on all keys are not visible at night when the backlight is on), so finding the key is impossible, so you just have to remember that the Win key turns it on. Annoying, but you can live with it. The battery life seems great, I only charged it once out of the box and 3 weeks later it was still on the same charge. Overall I think this is one of the best wireless mini keyboards I've used to control my HTPC.
