Arteck Backlit USB Wired Full Size Keyboard with Media Hotkey for PC and Laptop

I’m genuinely impressed with this Arteck backlit wired keyboard. The typing experience is excellent — the scissor‑switch keys feel soft, responsive, and quiet, making long typing sessions much more comfortable. The full‑size layout with a numeric keypad and dedicated media hotkeys is a huge plus, especially for productivity work. The backlighting is one of my favorite features. You get 7 different LED colors and 3 brightness levels, so it’s easy to find a setting that looks great and works well in low‑light environments. It’s bright enough to see clearly but never harsh or distracting. Setup couldn’t be easier — just plug in the USB cable and it’s ready instantly. No drivers, no hassle. The build is slim and lightweight but still feels solid and well‑made. Overall, this keyboard delivers excellent value: great lighting options, smooth typing, quiet keys, and reliable plug‑and‑play performance. Highly recommended if you want a stylish, comfortable, and dependable wired keyboard.

I've had this keyboard for exactly 1 year, to the day. Yesterday my backspace key broke. One of the guides on the key snapped off. I have really liked this keyboard and I was about to buy a replacement but decided to reach out to Arteck support, hoping they would send me a replacement key only. However, they responded quickly and sent out a entire replacement keyboard. All told, I had a new keyboard within just a few days of reaching out. I am very impressed with Arteck's response. As for the keyboard itself, here is why it is my favorite. 1. It has illuminated keys. The color and brightness can be adjusted. 2. Keys are quiet, which allows me to work when I am in "important" online meetings. 3. Keys have a good feel. They are responsive but firm, making quick typing easier. I have used mechanical keyboards before, and I now much prefer these low-profile, chiclet-style keys over mechanical. 4. The keyboard height is idea for my wrist angle. The riser is built-in, not flip-down feet like on most keyboards that flip up and down at the slightest movement while using. I much prefer this method of raising the angle. This is my go-to keyboard. It does everything well that is important to me. I use it primarily for work.

My first impressions of this keyboard are very good. The keyboard layout makes sense and all the keys are where you would expect them to be. The arrow keys are full size and easy to access. This is extremely important to me as I use the arrow keys frequently and half size keys that are crammed in between other keys on the keyboard are just to awkward to use effectively. This keyboard layout is perfect. I've been looking for a keyboard where the Fn + Arrow keys mimics the Home and End keys and was very pleased to see that this one does this. I very frequently move my cursor around documents and like to jump to the beginning or end of a line and using the Fn + Arrow keys makes this simple. It basically mimics the Fn key on my laptop where I developed my muscle memory to do this, so finding a keyboard that mimics this functionality is a huge plus for me. Also, my previous keyboard was wireless so it would eventually turn off the backlight to save power. This is very annoying and defeats the purpose of being able to see the keyboard when you need it to. Since this one is hard wired, the backlight stays on indefinitely. The dedicated backlight buttons enable me to easily change the intensity of the backlight to three different power levels and off. The keys click perfectly and are very comfortable for a touch typist. The printing on the keys is clear and both the letter and the border of the key are backlit to make it easy to see in the dark. There is a dedicated Fn Lock key that changes the top row of keys from F1-F12 to their alternate functions. Since I routinely use the F5 key to refresh my screen, I don't use the Fn Lock, but it's good to know that it exists. The only unanswered question is durability. But after using it for one day, I'm very pleased with it and give it high marks. My only wish list item that it's missing is that pressing the caps lock doesn't light an indicator on the key itself, but a cap locks light in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard. I like being able to look at the cap locks key and determine immediately whether it's on or not, so this is the only checkbox that it doesn't check, but overall, it offers great value for the money and I'm very satisfied with it.

I replaced a mechanical RGB keyboard with this due to "click" sound reasons that annoyed my spouse. So, I just returned a great ROCCAT Vulcan 122 keyboard for this low profile RGB keyboard, and I thought I would be greatly disappointed from just owning a award-winning mechanical master piece to a budget version of a scissor switch keyboard. I have to say, after I have been playing with this for a bit I am happily surprised, the keys are somehow soft feeling yet with a tactile feel to them but without the "click" noises from a mechanical keyboard, I am very custom to these type keyboard, most people are these days since it is usually the standard issue with new computers, however, they usually don't have any type illumination to the keys so they are not great in low light settings. This keyboard has 7 colors to choose from, you can easily adjust the brightness and which color you want directly from 2 keys on the keyboard set between the right [Alt], [Ctrl] key which I accidentally hit a couple of times with my palm, for future versions maybe put those buttons either under the [Delete], [End], [PgDn] button section of the keyboard to avoid accidental hits. Not a huge issue but a side-note. Other than that, there is not much to say, so far it performs like a keyboard should, it seems to respond well to every keystroke, soft but tactile feel to the keys, firm and steady with no "wiggly" keys. The illumination is "soft" and bright enough on the lowest settings to lit up every key and it has a backlit that doesn't take over the entire keyboard if that makes sense, some keyboard have such a bright backlit it overpowers the key-lights so they drown and with all that light you still cant see the letters of the key which some people need. I don't have the muscle memory in my fingers to remember the wheree the keys are so I need to see the keys when I type or play, not a problem with this board even on the brightest setting, But really, its good enough on the lowest setting. On my keyboard though, the FN row, Win Alt Ctrl and arrow buttons seem to have less illumination than the main keys of the keyboard, not at all a problem on the bright settings but its worth noting that on the low setting they are visible but much less so. As usual the space-bar, Shift buttons has a slightly louder noise level, I have seen people commenting on that on multiple Scissor keyboards, that usually comes from the added little steel pin, that most scissor keyboards have to make those "longer" or "wider" keys "uniform," meaning it gives them a more even press, without it you risk ending up with having to make sure to press the key in the dead center for it to register the keystroke, with it you can hit the key on the edges and it will still register, makes sense? but for that reason it gives a bit of a different noise, still very quiet, just adds that little "plastic hits steel" sound. This time, absolutely no noise complaints from my spouse. It comes with a 4' cord which is plenty long if you ask me, people want ultra long cords for some reason, I sit with the screen maybe 2' away from me at all times, I see no reason to have longer cords. The cord does feel a bit cheap to me, it works but my other keyboard had this thick braided and nice cord which felt solid and like it was made with quality, this cord is thinner, feels and looks cheap and you get the feeling that this is what will fail first with this keyboard. That said, for the money you are spending on this keyboard I have to say I am surprised so far, typing and using the keyboard it feels almost as good as the $160 mechanical I replaced with this board. Even though it doesn't have any Ghosting or rollover features it responds ok in the game I play and typing, this review is all typed down with this keyboard. For $27 this keyboard is a solid choice if you can't afford a mechanical keyboard or if you like me have a spouse that gets annoyed with the "click" sounds from mechanical boards and you are looking for a quiet keyboard with some solid illumination.

Was skeptical at first after reading some of the reviews stating how people like it but I'll have to say I went ahead and ordered it and I'm am in love with this keyboard. They were spot on! The backlighting is awesome allowing you to pick many diffferent colors along with adjusting the brightness level. The grove in the keys keeps your fingers seated when typing and the key travel is just perfect. The keyboard is very quiet. This one is well worth the money and I recommend it to everyone looking for a good keyboard at an affordable price!

I like this keyboard a lot. The key bounce is optimal and the backlight selections are very cool. It's a bit wider than I was looking for but the 10 key was a must. Would buy again.

I was getting tired of turning on a fluorescent light stripe that I had to see on my regular keyboard every morning just to see my keyboard letters much better. For almost a year, I was using a keyboard that I purchased from Amazon under the name Microsoft. After four months, the letters on the keys began to fade dramatically, necessitating the use of a light. I got tired of using the fluorescent because sometimes I would forget to turn it off. Anyway, after so many searches online and back-and-forth reviews online, I went ahead and purchased a Corsair K55 PRO LITE RGB Wired Membrane, and my gosh, the LEDS lights were blinking like crazy. The keyboard letters were so tall, and I was always misspelling everything. I heard one of my coworkers mention Arteck Keyboard to me, and again, I started doing my research. I decided to purchase the keyboard on June 27th, and, oh my gosh, This keyboard is wicked awesome. I love how easy it is to switch the colors by pressing the FN and LED keys. Compared to the Corsair K55 PRO, I could not figure it out, and after calling customer support, I was told that I needed to download some software. Anyway, if you are looking for a nice, slim wireless keyboard with LED lights, this is it. BTW my favorite color is Green. Update as of May 1, 2024. I contacted the Arteck because I noticed that my Shift key button was scratched, and the LED light was showing. I was still under my warranty, and they were fast in responding to replace my keyboard. Thank you Arteck. Update 5/21/2025 Dear Arteck Support Team, I am writing to follow up on a previous warranty replacement for my Arteck HA305-3B keyboard, which I received on May 1, 2024. As of yesterday, May 20, 2025, I have begun experiencing issues with the replacement keyboard. Specifically, the letter "D" key is now frequently unresponsive unless I press it very hard. Additionally, the LED backlights have started to intermittently turn off and on. I have also noticed that sometimes the letters I type are repeated unexpectedly. This is the second time I have encountered significant problems with this specific keyboard model, HA305-3B with the serial number 204-620131. Given that this is the second instance of failure with this model within a relatively short period, I am wondering if this might be a common issue with these keyboards. For the time being, I have had to disconnect the Arteck keyboard and revert to using a 13-year-old keyboard that is still functioning reliably. Could you please advise on how to proceed with this issue?

I had purchased a lighted keyboard because I wanted to be able to see the keys when it's dark. (For me, that's a lot of the time because my keyboard sits under a monitor riser that makes it difficult to see they keyboard.) I hated the one that I got, though, in part because the lights would time out while I was doing research or non-typing tasks, and the only way to turn it back on was to start typing on the keys I couldn't see. This one doesn't have that problem. I can leave the keys lit all the time. There are three different brightness settings. I leave it on the most dim setting, which is fine, even when I'm sleeping in the same room. It's really very subtle, but just enough to enable me to see the keys at all times. You can also change the color of the lights. I like the basic white light (which is really more of a very light blue), but you can cycle through different options to see which you like. The color variety and brightness are controlled by separate keys on the keyboard, which is handy because they're right there when you need them (but they're also out of the way, so I don't find myself messing with them inadvertently.) There are only two things that I'm not crazy about, and they're minor. First, you have to use the "Fn" key to use the function keys above the numbers. I can understand that on a laptop, but on a full-size keyboard, it just seems unnecessary. Just make the function keys work on their own. Second, many keyboards have little "feet" that you can flip out to help tilt the back of the keyboard up. This one doesn't have those handy little guys. I just stuck a couple of small binder clips under the back two corners, and that seems to work okay. The keyboard feels good and isn't overly loud when typing. I'm quite happy with it.

Dies ist nun schon meine zweite Tastatur von ARTECK., und eine andere würde ich mir auch nicht mehr kaufen. Gerade für mich als YouTuberin ist es wichtig, dass meine Technik funktioniert und mich nicht im Stich lässt. Dazu gehören auch meine PC-Keyboards, die ich an alle Rechner habe. Zwischen meiner ersten ARTECK und der Lieferung meiner zweiten, hatte ich einige Tage eine andere Tastatur - harter Anschlag, die Tasten viel zu hoch, Buchstaben bleiben hängen, durch viel zu hohe Tasten kommt man versehentlich auf unerwünschte Neben-Tasten. Aber nicht bei DIESER! ARTECK hat sehr niedrige Tasten, so wie man es vom Laptop oder einem Notebook kennt. Dadurch ist der Anschlag sanft und sehr angenehm. Da ich stundenlang Konzepte (Drehbücher) für meine YouTube-Videos schreibe, ist es mir sehr wichtig, dass die Tastatur LEISE ist - ARTECK ist kaum hörbar (man hört lediglich meine längeren Nägel - wenn man aber kurze Nägel hat, hört man sie - unter den Alltagsgeräuschen - überhaupt nicht. Das ARTECK-Keyboard für den PC kommt mit Tastenbeleuchtung. So kann man zwischen folgenden Farben wechseln: Rot, Grün, Blau, Gelb, Magenta, (Pink-Lila), Türkis und Weiss. Dazu ist lediglich der Druck auf einer einzigen Taste notwendig, und jeder kann die Farbe wählen, die für ihn am angenehmsten ist oder die ihm Spass macht. Wenn die Tastatur auf WEISS eingestellt ist, gleicht sie einer Apple-Tastatur, was ich persönlich als sehr chick und edel empfinde. Ausserdem macht es das Arbeiten in den Abendstunden sehr angenehm, da die Beleuchtung stark genug ist, um selbst im Dunkeln arbeiten zu können. Die Stärke der Beleuchtung lässt sich zusätzlich in 3 Modi "dimmen" - leichte Beleuchtung, mittlere und helle. Die Lieferung erfolgt sehr schnell, und der Kundendienst ist einfach grossartig! Freundliche und sehr zügige Kommunikation bei Fragen oder neue Bestellungen. Fragen hatte ich keine, da die Tastatur selbstredend ist. Einfach den Kabel in den USB-Stecker des Rechners stecken, Beleuchtung aktivieren (falls man das wünscht), und legt sofort los. Keine nervige Installations-Software, keine offenen Fragen. Das ARTECK-Keyboard hat keine "Füsschen", die man hinten ausklappen muss, damit man die Tastatur erhöht - wir alle kennen diese "Füsschen" die IMMER abbrechen. Dieses Keyboard ist so konzipiert, dass sie hinten erhöht ist, so dass man im hinteren Bereich eine leichte Erhöhung von 2 cm hat. Dadurch ist sie eine sehr gelungene Mischung aus flacher Laptop-Tastatur und Erhöhung einer externen Tastatur. Ich selbst nutze sie als externe Tastatur an meine Laptops um meine Rechner zu schonen. Gerade Laptops und Notebooks haben 2 Schwächen: Die USB-Anschlüsse und die Tastaturen, die den Rechner viel schneller kaputtgehen lassen. Mit einer Länge von 43 cm und einer Breite von 11,5 cm ist sie ideal für Viel-Schreiber. Die Haupttasten (Buchstaben) haben eine Grösse von 1,5 x 1,5 cm, so dass man immer jede Taste "erwischt" und man kommt nicht auf eine unerwünschte Neben-Taste. Der Nummerische Block muss jeden Tag neu "eingeschaltet" werden, da er sich nach dem Runterfahren des Rechners automatisch abschaltet. Das wäre die einzge Änderung, die ich mir wünschen würde. Aber da dies auch nur ein Knopfdruck ist, kann ich sehr gut damit leben. Vielleicht ändert es ARTECK in der kommenden Zeit - würde mich freuen! Was ich als ebenfalls sehr wichtig empfinde, ist die Abnutzung der Tasten. Mein erstes ARTECK-Keyboard habe ich vor ziemlich genau 1 Jahr bestellt, mittlerweile habe ich 2 Stück, da ich an 2 Laptops arbeiten muss. Selbst nach "Tippen ohne Gnade" ist die Beschriftung nicht abgenutzt. Noch heute sehen die Buchstaben wie neu aus. Das schätze ich an ARTECK, da die meisten Tastaturen-Beschriftungen sich schnell abnutzen. Alles in einem kann ich diese Tastatur wärmstens empfehlen - was ich auch schon bei meinen YouTubern getan habe. Immer wieder sind Menschen von ihren Tastaturen, und deren Lautstärke beim Tippen genervt. Da empfehle ich gerne meine - ich bekomme KEINE Werbe-Gelder von ARTECK - das ist ledilich meine Überzeugung, aus persönlicher Erfahrung! Auch mein YouTube-Team ist mittlerweile mit dem ARTECK-Keyboard bestückt - und siehe da.... das ganze Team "klappert" zufrieden auf ihren externen Tastaturen - ob beruflich oder zwischendurch privat. LEISE und zuverlässig, so dass keiner von uns den anderen stört, oder von Tasten-Geklapper des anderen genervt ist. Die einzigen Geräusche bei uns ist sanfte Musik im Hintergrund und das fröhliche Lachen meines Teams. Einmal hatte ich von einer Freundin Besuch, die sich wunderte, warum mein Team "nur auf ihren Bildschirmen gucken" - nein, sie ARBEITEN - nur eben lautlos... :-))) KLARE KAUF-EMPFEHLUNG !!!!!!!

Good value for money. The keys on this model are so quiet. In fact the only key that registers a slight sound is the space bar. Also the keys are slimline - akin to that you would find on a laptop and less prone to collecting food crumbs and general household dust. I find that the backlight enables me to type a lot faster, even in low surrounding light and is adjustable for night time use. The actual unit is also extremely streamlined and about 3/4 of the size of a standard issue keyboard allowing more work space. All of the lights are fully functional and the red I find to be very warm a colour. The only thing I would change if I could would be to make the CTRL key slightly larger for gaming purposes but it really isn't too much of an issue for me as I have small hands! I bought this at sale price but feel it is worth the RRP because it is such a space saver and so blissfully quiet. Recommended!

I liked this keyboard enough that I bought a second one. The backlighting is really effective. I have another brand that is a "gamer" keyboard, and it isn't nearly as good, and I paid more for that one ...Cherry keys and all. There is a special key that lets you cycle through all of the colors of the backlighting without a lot of fuss. The problem with keyboards is that everyone has a different idea about what makes a good one. These units are similar, in feel, to an Apple Macbook. Important features of this keyboard (to me) are that it has a numeric pad and full size key caps.

バックライトが今まで使ってたものは、入力がないと自動消灯してしまうので、暗い部屋で使いたいのに不便でした。 このキーボードはバックライト点きっぱなしにできるので良いです。もちろん任意で消灯することもできます。 他のレビューで文字が光らないとありますが、ちゃんとバックライトで光ります。 キーボードの打感はノートPCのようで私は気に入っています。

とても良いです。文字が光り見やすいです。打鍵感もしっかりあり打ちやすいです。光色切替えキーと光量切替えキーがスペースキーと右Ctrlキーの間に配置されているのでスペースキーが少し短くなっています。
