(Updated 2018,8-Color RGB Backlit) Rii X8 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad Mouse Combo, RGB Backlit, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery-Black

i like it

As discrip, but some time it cutting

Keep disconnecting, then reconnecting, even if below 3meters from receiver. Very disappointed

The Rii X8 Mini Keyboard has been a fantastic addition to my HTPC. It’s compact, lightweight, and incredibly convenient for navigating from the couch. The wireless connection is stable with no lag, and the built‑in touchpad makes it easy to control everything without needing a separate mouse.The RGB backlighting is great for nighttime use, and the keys feel responsive despite the small size. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, which is perfect for a living‑room setup where I don’t want to constantly plug things in.For controlling an HTPC, this little keyboard does exactly what I need — simple, reliable, and comfortable to use. A great buy.

Excellent product. Works as described, quick recharge and good battery life.

This is great. I got it as a second remote as our kids keep misplacing our tv remote and I prefer to use this one now!

Absolutely love the thing. Bought this for use with my HTPC and it does the job perfectly. The track pad works great, and while I hate track pads, it's much better than having to have somewhere to put a mouse and the room to move it around. The scroll wheel functions just like a normal scroll wheel on a mouse, and has a "middle click" button. The volume buttons are an awesome convenience. The connection is solid and I haven't had a problem with it whatsoever as well. The RGB is either the rainbow effect (it doesn't move or flash) or other solid colors you can choose from; not much customization, but that's not what I bought it for, and shouldn't be what you buy it for either. The brightness of the keys is great in a completely dark room which I do use it in. It's super lightweight, easy to use, and fits in the palm of your hand. The keys feel as nice as they can for a device of this price and size; you're not meant to be typing essays on this of course anyways. Also very impressed to learn that the battery is removable when it arrived! So if the battery dies, no need to throw the whole unit away, just buy a new battery. It also charges via USB-C which is very nice, and does come with a short cable if you don't have one. I will definitely buy another one when I'm in need of a small control device for a PC like this.

I have been using these for a while now. About a year. I went to exchange the one that wasn’t working when it started to work again. But I had already requested a replacement. I kept both and had to pay for the second one and that’s fine.So the devices are great, but they are weird. They will work perfectly for a long time and then one will stop working for about 3 days. Then I swap to the other one during that time. I think it may be a moisture issue. If you look at the touchpad on both, the circuit board is slightly exposed on the right side. What I believe is happening is moisture is getting in and temporarily shorting it out, but once it is dry, it works perfectly again. It stays charged for a long time and doesn’t take long to charge. 1 night of charge gets me about a month of use. I haven’t had to swap to the other one in about 6-8 months now. I love these devices, but because of the issue that I mentioned, it is impossible to give it five stars.If they can fix that issue on the next iteration of this keyboard, I will easily give it five stars. It’s not laggy, all of the buttons feel great, I can type fairly quick with it. Everything else about this handheld keyboard is perfect. It has its own FN key and those functions are really helpful.Oh no, my app froze. I need to open the task manager. Easy. Hold FN then press Enter.If you choose to get one of these, you won’t be disappointed. But if you run into the issue that I have, I suggest just having one as a backup. Both of mine will do this, but like I said, it’s been almost 8 months since the last time I had this issue.Get it.Old review: Today is day 9 of owning this device. I owned one of the older models of the Rii and it was an absolutely fantastic device.I bought this one as a replacement and it worked like a charm at first. Now the right half of the touchpad doesn’t work. You can actually look down into the right side of the touchpad and see the pcb and gridded pcb pads that look like they should have been under the touchpad.Even the left side isn’t working great now though. Its spotty to use until I figure out how to get a replacement.I really wanted to love this device because it was fantastic at first. But I can’t even get 2 weeks before the product stops functioning properly? I hope this one is just a lemon and that the next one works better, but seeing that I can now no longer use it. 1 star.
