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

Our main TV is a PC (Home Theater) and I have tried many different types of keyboards and mice that would work well from the couch. It seems that out of all the different brands/styles I've tried, they're all missing at least one feature that would make them great. I'm happy to report that this model has met all my couchsurfing needs. There are features that stand out to me the most when looking at options: Separate volume control that's easy to find / grope in the dark - Note, touchpad with…

Waited and waited to get this. I finally decided it was then and now. That does not work. Uff. Hope it works for you. Updated 7/17/2018 So far this keyboard hasn't worked for me. Your customer service was fantastic. They did not hesitate to correct the situation in any way they could. In my case, they have credited me for the purchase price and are continuing to work to ensure that I receive a working product.

I've tried many multimedia remote control keyboards for my home theater (HTPC). This is now my second favorite. (My favorite is the discontinued Lenovo N5902 backlit remote). Rii makes an affordable and constantly improving controller. all of the complaints i had with last year's models have now been resolved. *now charges with the ubiquitous micro-USB instead of the outdated mini-USB (slightly larger connector) *includes a removable battery. I haven't had any issues with my last year's battery

I am using this with my NVIDIA Shield TV (Android OS). I have an older version and it has more features than this one. The page up/down buttons are gone, likely replaced with an up/down scroll wheel. The problem is that the scroll wheel only works on a list if you use the touchpad to hover over the list you want to scroll with. If you don't hover over the list, the scroll wheel does nothing and/or doesn't work properly. has clearly separated buttons (see picture - old version on the left, new…

Have been using this for a while and love it. Pros: The scroll wheel makes it easier to navigate web pages. The position of the trackpad in the middle is also very easy to use. The left and right mouse buttons on the ethereal side of the trackpad make precise pressing very easy. Video. But it's not that important. All in all, it's perfect for an entertainment system or just lounging around. :) Update: I've been using it for about 3 years and all of a sudden the charging connector came loose…

Well the keyboard worked fine for the first month after purchase. Then the charge would die off fairly quickly and wouldn't last more than 3 minutes. In the end I gave up thinking it was a bad product. I haven't unplugged the USB receiver from my computer to this day since I bought a new keyboard. However, the USB receiver did not come out. I was so stuck in the computer that I had to use pliers to free it. The USB receiver broke on the first try, but the piece of metal was still on my…

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…

Rii makes a lot of these mini keyboards, so it's important to check which item you're using. That being said, this review is for a mini KB with a circular, backlit shape and red scroll wheel. If it matches yours, you passed the first test. Before trying this particular Rii, I tried bright green, the color was easy to spot on my remotes, but it didn't affect performance in any way. It doesn't wake up when I take it out to use. It was good when it worked. This black version comes with a dongle so

I have 3 previous model keyboards from Ria (2 - 2.4 RF and 1 - Bluetooth). I love her! They have virtually no lag and the rubbery feel makes them a pleasure to use. (By the way, I use them on different computers with Win7/8.1). It was beneficial and I decided to try it mainly because of the scroll wheel, which I miss when using older models. Pros: The backlight is different as it illuminates not just the characters but the entire key. Alternative button functions are also highlighted. The…
