Rii (Upgrade) i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, Blacklit Portable Wireless Keyboard with 2.4G USB Dongle for Smartphones, PC, Tablet, Laptop TV Box iOS Android Windows Mac.Black

Handy little controller!! Boyfriend has been talking about wanting the Rii i8 for 5+ years, and when we went to finally get it, we ended up going with the Rii i4 Mini. I did not know what to expect (with either model), but I was down to try it, and it has been great! For a controller, keyboard, and trackpad all in one, it serves a great purpose and has a lot of versatility and functionality!Now, I was very surprised by the size, given that it has a keyboard, trackpad, and a bunch of other function buttons. It fits perfectly on my palm, and the length is pretty much the same size as my hand from wrist edge to fingertip. So, if you have larger hands, it will likely fit well in your hand. When using it, you will want to use both hands since it needs to face the same way as the keyboard. It is very thin and is flat, with no real bulges.It is also extremely lightweight. It is made with plastic materials but is structurally sound. It has a full-functioning keyboard and trackpad, as well as other buttons, most of which are labeled. The trackpad has good sensitivity and gestures. The little finger instructional icon pictures are actually on the trackpad, as shown in the photos (it is not a sticker or removable); I personally find this to be helpful since it helps you to learn them, and you can easily reference it instead of having to find the manual or Google it.It connects to devices by Bluetooth and/or a dongle and is fairly easy to connect. We have used it successfully with our laptop, iPad, and iPhone. One thing to note if using a MacBook - we had to change the trackpad settings on the laptop to make it go two-finger down for down, etc,... this then reversed the actual computer's trackpad.I appreciate the backlight as it makes it very easy to operate in the dark or at night, as well as find if it ends up mixed in the bed or couch ha... The backlight has auto on/off feature which is helpful and preserves battery. We use it mainly as our "tv remote" via laptop connected to the tv, and it is very convenient...sorry not sorry, we aren't going to get up every time we need to pause or rewind, search, etc. It is also wicked helpful for the iPad and iPhone, making typing a breeze just like on a laptop.It is rechargeable via USB-C, much preferred over regular batteries - and it holds a charge for a good while with lots of uses. I think there is a little bit of learning merely from what do all of these buttons do (obviously not your typical keyboard ones), but it is very easy to operate.If you are looking for a compact, multi-purpose remote/controller and mini full keyboard - this is a good one. Given its size and weight, it is very easy to transport. You can also find cases made for it (sold separately), which I highly recommend for longevity, especially if you do plan to travel/transport it... Again, it is plastic - a sturdy plastic, but you will want to take precautions... I can see issues if you throw it in the bottom of a bag and crush it... Also, the price is great for what you get out of it.

This thing is pretty solidly built. I use it from my HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) system. I have other models from other brands and they are not as sturdy as this one is. The touchpad is sufficient for my needs. I wouldn't call it high-end but it gets the job done. The top corner trigger buttons work really nice and the touchpad has basic gesture recognition. The backlit isn't obnoxious and turns off after a while. The 2.4 GHz USB dongle was plug and play on my media center mini PC (Windows 11). No need to download any drivers or software.The product comes with a pretty comprehensive manual/documentation. From my experience, a lot of these products are made as cheaply as possible and don't usually come with documentation. This one does. I use this in combination with a handheld trackball by Elecom. While I do prefer to use the handheld trackball to control the mouse cursor, this remote the perfect sized companion keyboard to type with anytime I want to open up YouTube or Twitch. I was considering a Logitech keyboard with trackpad but it just seemed too big and clunky for my needs.

I've had two of these and a number of other Rii remotes over the last 10+ years. This one is the best.Good layout, backlighting, track pad, control options and usability.The 2.4 Ghz is not bad but if you have any devices on those bands nearby the interference can be rough.My main complaint is that I want to be able to default it into Bluetooth mode while keeping 2.4 plugged in as a backup. Instead of powering on in 2.4 and then having to toggle over to Bluetooth.This thing has been dropped a number of times by my daughter and is still going strong. Even the scroll wheel still works like the day I bought the first one years ago. I use these on my NUC style mini PC's set up as HTPC's.These are more expensive than some other models even from the same company but the functionality is much better.Battery life is solid as well. I get about 2 to 4 weeks of moderate usage out of it before needing to recharge.

I've tried a lot of mini keyboards and so far this one is the best.+ Awesome Range+ Scroll wheel+ Sensative Accurate Touchpad+ Comfy w/ nice trigger+ Stores 2.4 GHz adapter- A Little big and thick- Media controls in middle of keyboard and require Fn press

I use this at work and it’s perfect for my tablet that doesn’t have a keyboard
