Edit: I’ve had this thing for about a year and my opinions have not changed. It’s a solid mini-keyboard and definitely worth the price, holding up well. Charge lasts 4-6 weeks before having to plug it in. Touchpad has sort of lost its texture from all the use, but still works well enough. Keys are small enough that they’re difficult to type on, but finger peckers / typing novices will find it just fine. Charge indicator has never worked, nor has the low battery indicator. It has always just lit up the wireless LED when charger is plugged in. So the only warning it’s going to need a charge is when it simply stops working. Not a deal breaker, but hope they fix that in future versions.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I’ve owned this keyboard for about 6 weeks now and it’s an absolute gem for a home theater PC. It’s proven durable so far, having four kids tends to put handheld devices through quite a torture test. The backlight LEDs are bright and having the three color options is awesome.I’ve used plenty of expensive brand name keyboards, and the touchpad on this is among the best. I don’t like that there’s not physical mouse buttons under the touchpad, but thankfully there is a physical left click button (on the left side of the keyboard) that saves the day. Perfectly usable is how I’d describe it.The keys are small and hard to type on, but nothing worse than what I’ve experienced on any other small form factor HTPC keyboard. They work just fine otherwise.I really love that the F1-F12 keys are the primary button, and you have to hold down the FN to access the secondary media functions. A lot of HTPC keyboards have this backward where you have to hold FN to use F1-F12 keys at the top, and media keys are the default– I’m a PC user going back a couple decades, so not having native F1-F12 keys is almost impossible to get used to. This keyboard does it right in my opinion.I’m 6 weeks into it and I haven’t had to charge it other than when I first got it. My kids and wife are the primary users and they know to switch the keyboard off (it has a power switch on top) when they’re done with it. Switching the power on activates it immediately, I’ve never had to reconnect the transmitter or do any kind of re-pairing. If you leave it set for awhile with power on, the backlight turns off and seems to go to sleep on its own, but wakes right away with any keypress or mouse movement. It just works every time.The only flaw I’ve noticed is that when I plug it in to charge, the wireless LED turns on. I can see that there is a low battery indicator, and a battery charge indicator, but I haven’t seen the charge LED light up, even with the charger connected. If you have the keyboard switched off or on and plug it into a charger, the wireless LED lights up. I’ve verified the keyboard is taking a charge by connecting a USB load meter to it in between the keyboard and charger. It draws about 300 milliamps anytime the charger is connected, which tells me it’s charging just fine. That said, I’ve never depleted the battery, so I’m not really sure if the low battery indicator works. But the charging LED certainly doesn’t, it turns the wireless LED on instead while charging. Why? I’ll never know but since it seems to be charging fine, I won’t complain. I’ll know for sure when it finally runs dead whether the low battery indicator works, and will try to update this review.In conclusion this is an awesome keyboard and works perfectly for this application. My last keyboard was an expensive Logitech and the charger port broke off a few months in. This keyboard works better and using the touchpad is a much better experience. This has a USB tether for charging (that slips inside a plastic cover) which will likely last a long time if not abused. They also include a USB extension cable in the box so you don’t have to put any strain on the short USB tether. The fact there’s no charger port to break off is a good thing in my opinion. I really feel like buying a couple more of these just to store away in a closet because I’m sure it won’t last forever and they will probably stop making these at some point– this keyboard is that good that a spare or two would be nice to have and the price is right!
