" ... works surprisingly well when playing SNES emulation on a tablet. ... "
" ... Connected to our gaming laptop easily- we use it mainly for Sims 4 and web browsing. ... "
" ... The board can be used on Chrome and could potentially work well on emulated gaming. ... "
" ... I’m not sure how it works with gaming, I imagine it works good, since it works so well with everything that I’m using it for. ... "
" ... Recommend to anyone who upload/streams a lot or plans to, uses their device for multiple things outside games, or anyone who doesnt like talking in gamechat with a mic. ... "
" ... He's trying to get the hang of using a keyboard and mouse again for his FPS games, but he's very happy with the board. ... "
" ... Music for gaming it's great ... "
" ... Something I definitely recommend utilizing if you're playing a game/ typing in the dark and want to use the backlighting for an extended period of time, as the battery will drain in a matter of hours. ... "

" ... It is essentially the same size as the iPad6/9.7, it has multiple colors as the backlight to include 2 different levels of brightness. ... "
" ... Like the LED backlighting. ... "
" ... You need to have the entire laptop raised a bit (on anything, like a couple of books) to look straight into the monitor at a longer distance, but then you can't type. ... "
" ... I love the backlight feature. ... "
" ... I use it in the living room to control a computer which uses my 70" big screen TV as a monitor. ... "

" ... Doesn’t work at all, disconnects after 3 seconds. ... "
" ... It then started to lag and type the same character several times in a row. ... "
" ... other times there is lag. ... "
" ... Sometimes it would just disconnect or not responding, other times it would 'stick' on a key and I'd get a constant stream of the last letter typed until I CTRL-C - and then had to cycle power on it. ... "
" ... Key repeat happens randomly each time on my PC. ... When it finally does connect, it disconnects, and reconnecting requires a reboot of the PC. ... A hard reboot is required each time. ... "
" ... This thing disconnects randomly all the time. ... "
" ... However, when the lag happens, the key input may lag up to about 6 seconds. ... The replacement does not have an lagging issue. ... "
" ... Mine doesn't wake up on key press (half the time), has massive delay (most of the time) and goes crazy like you mashed a key 1000 times (every once in a while) Battery life has averaged a couple days when not even using it. ... "

" ... The battery life is poor and it does not seem to have a “sleep mode” that works well. ... When the sleep mode is on and you begin to use it, It takes a bit longer than other keyboards to “reconnect” each time, not the end of the world but I would splurge for the apple keyboard. ... "
" ... It goes to sleep mode after 2 seconds of not being used. ... Anything you typed while its sleeping is glitch and unreliable. ... "
" ... No idea how to turn off sleep mode, but I’m sure you can. ... Sometimes when you get it out of sleep mode, the first or second key will be delayed or be held down. ... "
" ... Once it went into sleep mode, nothing would make it come back on. ... "
" ... Seems to put itself to sleep after just a couple minutes and then when I do type on it after that it always takes forever for the inputs to come through and they're all caps for a second too. ... "
