Arteck Bluetooth Keyboard, Stainless Steel Universal Portable Multi-Device Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for iOS, Android, Windows iPad Tablet PC Smartphone

Keyboard is good size and keys are fine for the price. Rechargeable battery is convenient. The problem is that it does not reliably pair to my iPad Pro. It paired without problem the very first time, then later became really sluggish (a keypress would take several seconds to register). Only solved by powering both the iPad and the keyboard off and on again. I switch keyboard off when not using. When switched on again it will not reconnect automatically to iPad, and attempting to connect through the iPad bluetooth settings is unsuccessful. I have to power off and on the iPad and keyboard, then pair again through bluetooth settings. Most frustrating. Update 26 December 2021 The seller contacted me and offered a replacement keyboard as my first keyboard was under warranty. It arrived Christmas Eve, so I’ve only had it a couple of days but it works perfectly. Connected first time, and now connects automatically without any issues. Just what I was looking for. It has been consistently responsive - no issues with lag between key presses. For the money it is really is a very good keyboard. Easy to type on. Compact design but feels solid enough and the rechargeable battery is convenient. So Iupgrade to 5 stars - for quality, value for money and great customer service.

Excellent keyboard - easy to set up. High build quality and nice typing action. Like the fact that no extra USB dongle is required so it doesn’t block up a USB port unnecessarily. Long charge life on the battery is really convenient Highly recommend.

I needed a keyboard that I could use while I was running my MacBook Pro through a monitor and had the lid closed, while also wanting something that was a little more ergonomic than the one on the MacBook. I'd looked at keyboards like the Logitech K380 and my partner had an Anker one that worked OK, but this was one of the highest-rated ones on Amazon, so thought I'd give it a try - and it was a good price too. It seems well made, with a metal back to it, and the keys make a satisfying thunk when you tap on them. It was easy to set up too, and paired easily. The only real issue I've had has been with key layout. It doesn't mirror the MacBook's one, and in many ways is completely different (the '@' key for example on a MacBook is shift+2, but on this one, it's where it would be for a PC), and there's some confusion when you're trying to find keys you don't use that often. For the former, it's simply a matter of your finger memory finding the same key as you'd use on the Mac, but sometimes it can be a pain when you're trying to find the backslash, for example, and you have to go around the keyboard randomly striking keys to find out where it is. Alt and Command are switched, as are function and control, so you'll find yourself stopping typing and looking at the keyboard occasionally. For general day to day use, it's absolutely fine - reliable and well made. The battery life is excellent (I don't think I've charged it since buying it a few months ago) and it hasn't drained its charge even when I've forgotten to turn it off - which is great. If I wanted a Mac-specific keyboard, I'd probably have to buy the official Apple one which, at that price, isn't going to happen. If you can put up with the occasional annoyance and hunt for the right key, you won't do much better than this.

I've been using this for about 2 weeks and I'm very happy with it. Pros: + It looks and feels high-quality, for an extremely reasonable price. I particularly like the chrome metal backing, which looks sleek and gives it rigidity. + Rechargeable battery which lasts for ages. I've only had it 2 weeks so I can't say how long a single charge provides, but I haven't needed to charge it yet. It comes with a mini-USB charging cable, in case you don't already have a million of them lying around your house. + The keys feel good, with a satisfying click when you press them. + No connection problems. I use it with MacOS and it connects in a fraction of a second as soon as I turn it on. + Super compact and slim. I generally prefer keyboards without num pads as I don't need to extend my arm too far to the right to move the mouse, so this size is perfect for me. + I like the slightly raised back, which means the keyboard is slightly angled when it rests on a table. + Small rubber pads on the back mean the keyboard does not slide around. + The copy/paste/cut, play/skip, volume and search keys are all quite useful. Cons: - No function lock, so you need to hold the fn key if you want to use the function keys. - I use MacOS and the order of the keys takes a bit of getting used to. The mappings are: win = command, ctrl = control (makes sense), alt = option, fn = fn (also makes sense). I kind of wish the alt key corresponded to command, as this would more closely match the layout on my Macbook. But I've mostly gotten used to it by now. For Windows users this shouldn't be a problem. Overall I think this is astoundingly good value and it exceeds my expectations. I did quite a lot of research before deciding on this and I'm very happy with my choice.

Windows11もiPhoneもiPadも、電源ＯＮで直前につないだ機器に一発でつながりました。登録した３台までなら簡単に切り替わり、薄くて軽いので新幹線での移動中や、外出時に仕事で重宝しそうです。一度設定すれば、次からは簡単につながるので内でも外でもこれ１台で十分かも。使った感じバッテリーの持ちは相当持ちそう。

Did not receive anything that remotely looked like the product in the picture. The package received was scratched and torn and the keyboard was dirty with stains and scratches all over it.

I purchased this Arteck external keyboard for use with my Ubuntu laptop, and overall, I’m quite satisfied with it. Build Quality The build quality of the keyboard is excellent. The materials feel premium to the touch, giving it a sturdy and durable feel. Initial Pairing Experience When I first tried to pair the keyboard with my Ubuntu laptop, the process was a bit frustrating. Initially, the laptop did not recognize the keyboard as a Bluetooth device, even though my mobile phone and other devices detected it without any issues. After disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth on my laptop, the keyboard finally appeared in the list of available devices, and I was able to pair it successfully. Since completing the pairing process, I have not experienced any connection problems. Room for Improvement While I’m generally happy with the keyboard, there are two areas where it could be improved: 1. Key Travel The key travel is longer than my previous external keyboard. While this is a matter of personal preference, I prefer shorter key travel for a faster and more responsive typing experience. If you specifically want a keyboard with short key travel, this may not be the right choice for you. 2. Charging Port The keyboard charges via a micro-USB port. In an era where most devices are transitioning to USB-C, I wish this keyboard used USB-C for charging. It would have been more convenient to charge all my devices with a single cable instead of needing to carry a separate micro-USB cable. Despite these minor drawbacks, I believe the Arteck keyboard is a solid choice for those looking for a well-built external keyboard.

The keyboards are great, good value, sturdy, easy to use etc. I purchased 19 on behalf of my workplace and the company were unable to provide a GST invoice for these products - when I asked for one, they supplied with me with an invoice with the wrong amount, shipping included (which was free) and only for 1 or 2 keyboards. When I tried again, I got the same response and eventually was told there was no invoice. No tax invoice came with the goods either. They also arrived 4 days late meaning they weren't able to be processed in the correct financial year.

I bought this keyboard in January. After about two months, the ALT key to the right of the spacebar just fell off. I don't even recall pressing that key. It doesn't snap back on, and that's really annoying. They tell me it has a two year warranty, but I don't see a way of contacting them to remedy this. I'd be happy just to have the key fit back on, if there were some way of doing that. UPDATE TO 1-STAR REVIEW: Quite soon after I posted the review, Arteck contacted me to express concern over the failed ALT key, and to reiterate that their 2-year warranty covers this problem. They provided me an Amazon link that would send me an identical keyboard at no cost. I quickly received the new keyboard, and began to try it out. After several weeks of it working flawlessly, I'm happy with the turnout. For unrelated reasons, I did not review the keyboard again immediately, but I am pleased to do so now. This experience has put keyboards on my mind. It's hard to find a good keyboard these days. I have been touch typing since Grade 10; that's about 50 years. It is one of the best skills I have learned. Back then quality of key feel used to be a lot higher. Genuine IBM keyboards felt beautiful. I attribute the decline in keyboard quality to the introduction and importance of the mouse for controlling the screen and selecting commands. I see fewer people touch typing at computers as a result of the mouse, voice recognition software, and touch screens. I don't even know if typing is still taught in high school. We have to accept that the golden age of keyboards and their use has long gone. I remember fondly my Northgate keyboard on my 286 and 386 machines. Its demise was partly the result of newer machines lacking that large round keyboard connector. So much for progress. The search for a quality keyboard continues. And this brings us to Arteck's model. Unlike other accessory keyboards I have used, Artech's keyboard excels for several reasons. The metal frame gives it a solid, quality feel. It is longer than many other keyboards, so your fingers do not feel crowded. The Bluetooth connections made to my cellphone worked flawlessly. Most important, keyboard feel is quite pleasant, and most welcome after using other, cheapie, keyboards. Non typists won't understand this, so there's no point in explaining the connection you feel to a good keyboard. My experience with this product is all positive. It's an excellent keyboard at a good price. The company stands behind their products 100% and wanted me to be satisfied with its purchase and use. I am completely satisfied with this keyboard, and recommend it unreservedly.
