Great little keyboard, particularly for people who hate typing on phones.
Got this as a replacement for another similar bluetooth keyboard that didn't meet my expectations. This one is great - small, light, easy to pair, good battery life, and types well.I use it when I have to sent messages of any reasonable length on my phone, as I hate typing on the phone keyboard. (When I am at home, obviously - I don't cart this around all day...) For that, it works great.

Small and easy to read
This is a good keyboard has no tactile function but it is cheap has good lighting and connects pretty well over the Bluetooth. Very portable, it is VERY slim and has decent battery life even with the lights on.

Great, inexpensive wireless keyboard
I bought this keyboard to replace a Logitech KB11 whose keys began to come off. It's very difficult to find a Bluetooth wireless, back-lit keyboard in a compact form - there just aren't many made. I use the keyboard for 2 reasons: first, I'm not crazy about the feel of my Dell XPS 13 laptop's keyboard - both the Logitech and this Arteck keyboard have more travel and responsiveness than the Dell keyboard.Second, since it's expensive to replace a laptop's built-in keyboard, I try to use an external keyboard whenever I can. In fact, once I've opened the laptop, I just lay the Arteck on top of the laptop's keyboard and I type on the Arteck, thus preserving my laptop's keyboard. If necessary, it's much easier and cheaper to replace a sub-$30 keyboard than the one on the Dell!Four things one should consider before purchasing and using this keyboard:#1: This keyboard is small - only about 9.5" across. The Dell keyboard is 10.5" and the KB11 is about 11.5". So people with larger/longer fingers may have issues typing. But it's very light and portable! I take it with me in my laptop bag.#2: Point #1 implies that this is NOT a keyboard you're going to use for gaming. It's just too small for that purpose.#3: I added a Velcro strip (the soft, fuzzy side) underneath the edge of the Arteck keyboard containing the power button and Arteck logo. I found that when I just laid the Arteck on top of the Dell and used the small rubber nubs supplied with the keyboard, the keys on the Dell keyboard were getting pressed. This small amount of Velcro raises the top, back edge of the keyboard just enough to prevent this from happening.#4: Bluetooth connectivity is good. But be aware of what I do to connect to the laptop:A. I power on the keyboard (and my Microsoft Sculpt comfort mouse) before I power on the Dell.B. Once everything is powered up, I turn off Bluetooth on the Dell and turn it back on.C. I start typing in Notepad or in the search bar (I'm running Windows 10).I have had Bluetooth issues before on this laptop and I know it's all due to software drivers because recent Dell, Microsoft, and Killer WiFi patches have made things considerably better. But be aware that any reviews saying the keyboard doesn't connect may have nothing to do with the keyboard at all - it can be the Bluetooth drivers!The back-lighting is very good, by the way. Both the Logitech and the Arteck are very lightweight and recharge through a small USB cable. This keyboard also has IOS/Android/Win buttons, but I only use it with my Dell so I can't say how well it works with other devices.Overall, for the price, it's a great keyboard and I recommend it. Hope this review helps!

Great little keyboard! Love it!
What an incredible little workhouse!! Connectivity has been super easy, as I am not a tech type person. I have used it with my Samsung, iPhone, iPad, and my son has linked it to his PS5. I find the battery to be sufficient for our casual needs. It’s lightweight and perfect for travel in lieu of a laptop or easier typing at a cafe. It has quiet and backlit keys. I could not be more satisfied with the convenience of this keyboard.

Great Customer Service - Keyboard DOES work with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
If you read my previous review, ignore it. I received a defective keyboard, as the replacement works just fine as a basic keyboard for my Raspberry Pi 3 using RASPIAN PIXEL out of the box. The function keys don't appear to work out of the box on a basic PIXEL install, but that's fine; it'd be a nice bonus but certainly neither expected nor anything I'd deduct a star for.It's quite light, and pretty easy to type on for a keyboard of that size. The light does turn off after a few seconds, but it comes back on when you start using the keyboard. The delay I experienced previously, and the shutting off after a few seconds, is not present in the second one. The first one, the one with the problem, was received in a brown box. The second one, which is working fine, came in a white and grey box with a cellophane window on the front of the package. While the brown box looks nice and is evocative of quality, and the white/grey box seems cheap, the keyboards appear identical and are attractive in their own right. It looks very much like brushed black anodized aluminum, but they are actually plastic yet they don't feel flimsy nor cheaply made. The backlighting has several options, not just the three primary colors, and are very nice.At $20, I'd be pleased with the purchase for a tablet or for a home entertainment center that didn't need a mouse or touchpad. For my Raspberry Pi project, it's not quite what I need (frankly it's too easy to steal) but it does work for its basic functions on it just fine.ARTECK has fantastic customer service, which solidly placed the new keyboard in 5-star territory. They care about the product and the feedback they receive. On their own they replaced the keyboard immediately after seeing my first review without waiting for a replacement.I cannot comment on the battery life, but other keyboards I have had with this type have had battery lives measured - at a minimum - of several hours if not days, and standby batteries of months on end. I do expect the same of this keyboard even with the backlight since the backlight does turn off quickly.[Previous UPDATE: added a star for customer service. On their own, ARTECK responded with a code to replace the keyboard quickly to replace the first one I have. As soon as it arrives, I will charge it and see if it works with the Raspberry Pi. I promised to update this as soon as I know. ]
