TECKNET 2.4G Wireless Compact Mini Keyboard, UK Layout, Black

The keyboard arrived promptly, the next day after ordering. It was packaged in a box in which it fitted perfectly, so there was not masses of excess cardboard to dispose of. The keyboard itself is very thin and light, with a fixed stand across the top end so it tilts at an angle when you use it. The setup was very easy. I installed 2 x AAA batteries (not included), plugged in the nano USB receiver, turned the keyboard on with the small switch on the bottom of the keyboard, and it was ready to go. I would say the size of the keyboard and the keys themselves are a good size for touch typing. I am able to type quickly and easily using this keyboard. I have tried this keyboard with my android box and it works brilliantly. You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the menus on the Android operating system, and the enter key to select something. The backspace key will take you back to the previous screen. This keyboard has so far worked with all the Android apps that I've tried on my Android box, including Kodi. The only little glitch I have found with it is that the volume keys seem to work in reverse. So when you turn the volume down on the keyboard, this turns it up on the android box and vice versa. I don't know if this is just an issue with my particular type of box, which is a Q-box. I have also tried this keyboard with my Android phone. I purchased a micro USB male host to USB female OTG adapter, which I plugged into the micro USB charging port on my phone. I then plugged the nano receiver into the other end of the adapter, turned on the keyboard and like magic, I was able to type on my keyboard, and the letters, words and sentences appeared on my phone instantly! This is SO useful if you need to type long messages on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, texts, e-mails etc. Although this is advertised as a Windows or Android keyboard, I thought I would try it out on the PS3 and PS4 also. I was hopeful at first when the arrow keys started navigating through the menus on both the PS3 and PS4, but when I opened any apps on either of the playstations, the keyboard stopped working. On the whole, this is a great keyboard, but there are a couple of little things to be aware of: - The nano USB is so small that I found it fiddly to remove from the USB port in my Android box when I took it out to try in other devices. This should not be a big problem as it will not need to be moved much and will probably be staying in the Android box for the foreseeable future. - When the Android box is in standby mode, the keyboard cannot 'wake it up'. I don't think this is a fault with the keyboard though - the keyboard communicates via the USB nano receiver and if the device, and therefore the USB port is on standby (turned off), then the keyboard is not going to work. This is a little bit annoying, but it is the same problem I have found with my USB mini keyboard. On the whole, I like this keyboard a lot and will be using it with my Android box from now on instead of the USB mini keyboard that I was using before as it is so easy to navigate with and type on, even though it's a bit bigger than the mini keyboard.

Packaging Packaging is delightfully minimalist and hassle-free. The keyboard is inside a thin plastic sleeve which ships in a snug cardboard box made of recyclable cardboard. It is easy to open but also sturdy enough to protect the contents well. From an environmentally friendly perspective, they could likely do away with the plastic altogether without affecting the robustness of the packaging, but all-in-all, this is some of the more environmentally conscious modes of packaging I have come across for items in this category. Inside the Box The box contains the keyboard (with the nano receiver clipped inside a special recess inside the battery compartment). In addition, there is a warrantee card and a minimalist instructions card. About the Product The keyboard is comfortable, light and surprisingly sturdy for the price. It seems to be made of good quality plastic. The keys are of a comfortable size and are responsive with a satisfying action and setting the device up is effortless. At the moment I’m using it as a “remote” keyboard for my Microsoft Surface which I have connected to my TV for nights when I want to work in comfort from the sofa without the weight of a tablet or laptop on my lap. I have not been using it long enough to be able to comment yet on battery life and how battery drain may affect the drop-off range of connections. However, so far it performs exactly as one would hope and expect for a device like this when used under “normal” usage conditions. The instructions claim that the batteries can last for up to 6 months - not an unrealistic claim given my similar experience with another TeckNet keyboard I use in my office. Conclusion I am very pleased with the product. For the price it seems reliable, easy to set up and use and as a bonus it looks good in my living room (which seems to be the standard for TeckNet products in general). I’ll post an update on battery life and connectivity/stability if anything noteworthy pops up, but for now I am happy to recommend this keyboard without reservation. It’s a fine device for the price and it does what it needs to do comfortably and without fuss.

The keyboard, after it arrived (which incidentally was next day to me), was easy to unbox and, as there was little in the box except the keyboard, a basic set of instructions and a nano dongle (which is inside the battery compartment) but alas no batteries. I guess you can't get everything but I know all other manufacturers have supplied batteries when a wireless keyboard (or mouse) has been purchased. EDIT: For this reason, I have reduced the review from 5 to 4 stars. The keyboard itself is very pleasing on the eye and very smooth to the touch. I wouldn't say the keys are capable of advanced gaming but they will certainly do the job of an avid novice or dare I adventure into intermediate gamer although there are no clicks of keys or anything like that; they are just smooth as a, well, flush keyboard. For battery life I have awarded 5 stars although this is a bit of a lie as I haven't had it anywhere near that long so I'm going by what the manufacturer states and, as I have purchased many a TeckNet product before, I have no reason to believe they would lie about such a thing. EDIT: Battery life is AMAZING! I had it on standby for over a year and it still woke up, as Tommy Cooper would say, "Just like that. Ha Ha." It would have been nice to have a dongle that is 5,0ghz rather than the conventional 2.4ghz as this is obviously far less congested and in a standard house which has multiple phones, mobiles, tablets, laptops and other such wireless devices, the 2.4gz bandwidth can become rather congested. All in all this well built and flush keyboard is lightweight, small and extremely thin so you can just slip it in your briefcase along with your mobile Windows or Android device for use as and when required while you're out in the street, riding on the tube or simply having a picnic along the canal. I would highly recommend this, and all other products manufactured by TeckNet. I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF ANY PRODUCT I REVIEW AND ALL MY REVIEWS ARE UNBIASED AND TRUE

The first time I bought this keyboard was in Jan 2018. It’s been fantastic. I have used it daily for both work and gaming, it only decided to die on me within the last few weeks. Seeing as it is now Jan 2022 - thats a good 4 years of daily consistent use. Pros - Easy to charge - Battery lasts ages. I charged it only a few times, which is impressive given sometimes I was using the keyboard for over 14 hours. Given the intense use I was surprised to only really need to charge it once every 4-7weeks. (I knew it was dying when I started to need to charge it for 3 hours of use out of nowhere when it also stopped charging.) - The personalisation settings with the light are a lovely addition. - Easy to pair to multiple devices and link them in between diverse device use. It will disconnect you from a previous device if you connect to a new one but the process of reconnecting it is extremely simple. - Small in size so perfect for travelling - Has a warranty included if you sign up for it Cons - It lies flat on the surface of your choice. It does not have little feet on the top two corners for elevation that make for a more comfortable typing experience. This is however superseded by the fact that it is very easy to travel with. - Sometimes you need to switch the off and on button to ‘restart’ it to regain connection (VERY rare - usually when very low on battery)

Great keyboard! Fits perfectly in my work bag and very light. So convenient for office commutes. Keys need a bit more pressure than other keyboards but not a huge issue. It’s connected via a small usb stick, and it’s compatible with any device that has a port. The stick can be stored under the keyboard which is really handy. Only been using a few weeks but very pleased so far

Excellent little keyboard that I carry in my backpack for my weekly visit to the office. Nicer to use than a laptop keyboard and smaller than a full size keyboard. There's a USB dongle for connectivity and the keyboard has an on/off switch so you don't waste the batteries when not in use. No issues with normal typing doing a technical job (I'm not up to secretarial typing speeds!)

Worked fine so far & was very easy to connect. My main gripe is the daft design choice to have the off switch on the underside of the keyboard, rather than on the back, where it's more easily accessible.

Perfect for my little home workspace! really easy to set up. looks great and tucks away nicely under my laptop stand. I've been using it for approx 3 months now and the battery is still going strong - this was an initial concern as I didn't want to be changing batteries regularly. I needn't have worried - this has been permanently 'on' since I set it up! i find it a really lovely keyboard to type on - not too noisy and the keys feel smooth when typing. I love it!

Necesitaba un teclado inalámbrico para mí tablet y me decanté por este. Funciona correctamente, el funcionamiento de las teclas en relación a su presionado es muy agradable, no es como otros más rígidos. Es pequeño y elegante. Muy contenta con la compra.

Toen ik het product net nieuw had, was ik er erg blij mee. Toetsen typten fijn, goede prijs-/kwaliteitverhouding (dacht ik). Na drie maanden zijn er zes toetsen afgevallen. Terugklikken werkt niet, aangezien de toetsen weer snel eraf vallen.

Was fine at first, but has already stopped recognising new batteries - after trying multiple sets of batteries, it reads them all as dead. Only bought in December, so lasted around 2 months. Don't be me - listen to the bad reviews.

Como han dicho otros no es teclado de Reino Unido como advertido pero teclado alemán!

El teclado va con dos pilas de las pequeñas y no tiene problema ninguno en conectar. La clavija que va al ordenador esta dentro de donde van las pilas para que no se pierda. A mi me llegó bien sin ningun problema con las teclas.
