" ... I ordered this keyboard hoping it would be something portable and durable enough to slide into my bag next to my Android tablet and bring to school every day. ... No, but still quite good and more than adequate for typing notes, emails, and other documents on the go. ... "
" ... Great little keyboard. ... No entry lag, keys feel responsive, just got it, so can't comment on battery life . ... "
" ... I like the light weight and compact size of the keyboard. ... "

" ... Wonderful Keyboard feel. ... "
" ... Absolutely love this Artek keyboard. ... "
" ... I used this very nice Arteck keyboard for three weeks, but ultimately returned it ONLY because I did not like that I had to press the FN key to use the volume control. ... But for the required-for-me volume control, I'd give the keyboard 5 stars. ... The only other way I'd improve this keyboard is by giving it (yes, K810-like) backlighting (and I definitely don't need (or like) the multi-color backlighting I've seen on some offerings here). ... "
" ... The replacement keyboard works great. ... "
