" ... Def improvement over having a full-size keyboard (I never used the 'calculator' section anyway). ... Hmm - typing that made me curious - so I picked up the keyboard and looked down the length of it with my 'calibrated' eye. ... Then I tested it by typing. ... *Also, Arteck contacted me within 48 hours of my initial review - reconfirming that they warranty the keyboard and would replace. ... "

" ... Yes, it's not as small as the controller keyboards, but you can't beat this quality. ... "

" ... Wonderful smaller keyboard fits nicely on the desk and is very easy to use. ... "

" ... The key board is sleek and comfortable for everyday usage. ... "

" ... The keys are a little hard when typing, but I got used to it and now really like it. ... "

" ... You can feel the springs and the mechanism behind the keys. ... "
" ... It connected easily, and I like the placement and action of the keys. ... "
" ... It could be a little quieter, but it is really not bad at all unless you are hammering the keys (again, it gets quieter with some practice). ... "

" ... Getting connected was seamless ... "
" ... I use it for work as part of my ergonomic set up with my laptop. ... It’s lightweight, easy to connect to laptop, easy to type on (although a bit noisier then my laptop keyboard), and stays connected to my laptop without interruption. ... "
" ... Compatible with old PC and Windows. ... "
" ... I have my PC hooked up to my big screen and needed a wireless keyboard to use when I'm sitting on the couch. ... "
" ... Paired fairly easily with my Kindle Fire and android phone. ... "
" ... As I use my laptop as my primary home computer and not as a portable, it remains plugged in at all times at the risk of ruining the chargeability of the laptop battery. ... In the end, this was an affordable solution to a frustrating problem with my HP laptop. ... "
" ... The Good: Compact size is same proportions as my Dell Latitude laptop. ... "
" ... Just keep your cell phone at least a foot away from the receiver and it works great . ... "

" ... I edited the review to a very pleasant one because they contacted me personally and offered to send me a new USB piece to connect the keyboard. ... "
" ... This USB transmitter set up is far better suited to my use case and even when using this for over 8 hours per day the battery lasts for months without needing a charge. ... "
" ... This keyboard connected flawlessly via USB dongle. ... "
" ... It is a plug and play install of the small USB dongle was a snap. ... "
" ... But my experience with it was pretty straight-forward: unbox it, charge it, connect the USB receiver to my computer, turn on the keyboard, and start typing. ... "
" ... Charging port is very easy to be broken. ... "

" ... I can have my key board and my mouse in the key board drawer. ... "
" ... I have a gaming keyboard but now I use this one more often because I can move my desk around to work anywhere in my room with only one HDMI cable connect to the computer. ... "
" ... If you use a wireless mouse as well, problem solved! ... "
" ... So yeah I can say I have been using this for gaming, just not the modern typical WASD + Mouse gaming people have pictured. ... "
" ... I created a makeshift standup workstation for myself and it only has a 1' x 2' surface for a keyboard and mouse. ... The full size keyboard I had previously took up most of my work area leaving little room for the mouse. ... "
" ... Very practical, small but having all the necessary, really space saver on my desk, the keys are soft and precise. ... "
" ... As a sidenote, the Logitech USB receiver that I use for my mouse was right next to the Arteck one and is completely intact (and I have not taken it out of my laptop for the last two years). ... "

" ... after comparing many bluetooth models i decided on this one and really lucked out . ... "
" ... Bt even then, why not spend a little more for one that works better. ... "
" ... I use this as an alternative for my macbook and I've had no problems with it, no issues with the bluetooth connection, and, for casual gaming from a laptop, it does the job well. ... "
" ... I have probably six or seven small PC keyboards that I was trying to use, but inevitably the Bluetooth connection would stop working, the keys would stick, the keys would break, or the missing keys (due to its small footprint) would be very tedious and annoying. ... "
" ... I mean just the fact that you can use the keyboard using either a 2.4ghz usb or bluetooth makes it worth the price. ... "
