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

My favorite keyboard is the Apple magic keyboard. But I needed one for my home pc (old one had broken keys). Don't get me wrong, the Apple keyboard has this one outclassed in just about every metric. But this is FINE, especially given it's less than half the price. It's slim enough, it's light enough if I want to take it somewhere with me, the keys press nicely, it's fairly silent compared to most keyboards, it's smaller than some, sure, but that's ok, and while it's not wireless, I just leave it at my desk 99% of the time anyway (plus it doesn't have to be charged). I even leave the LED backlighting on (turned down to it's dimmest level) It's a pretty good keyboard, I'm happy with the purchase, and I would def. recommend it to someone who needs a windows keyboard!

This is such a great keyboard, IF you have small hands.The "light feature" in this keyboard is VERY well thought out & implemented. The mfg. or designer of this keyboard, made it simple. "Plug & play" .Light feature is easy to adjust.It has 1 small problem... And that's it is SMALL..I had a Logitech K120 I'd used for years, I wanted to upgrade just a little bit... so I bought this keyboard, the 'Arteck HA305-3B'.. but, the form factor/size.. was just too dang small. Sadly. {Honestly I do have large hands}Anyways, I love the concept, I just need it to be the same size as the Logitech K120, or have the same "Ergonomics"..... THEN I'd really have it made!, until then, it's just going to be stored safely away.. sadly.I wish comments still existed on this site, b/c I'd seriously like this keyboard.. or something exactly like it in features.. with the ergonomics of the K120 I mention.Alas, no getting "community help"..

I have bought a couple of these now, since the keys work so smoothly and consistently, and being wired, I can set the backlights to stay on, where the wireless keyboards keep turning them off to save the battery. I set the colors to green, which matches the lights on the mouse and the Alienware computer internal lighting. I have two locations where I use these. The look is great, the backlighting just right and the keys just "fit" my fingers and mode of typing. I had a small issue with one of them and tech support under the 2 year warranty was fast and responsive. I'd recommend this keyboard!

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.

Really nice keyboard, exactly what I was looking for! The flat keys are smooth and spaced out and the RGB lights are a nice touch. Had the keyboard for a year and practically used it daily for both work and gaming with only minimal issues pressing the light key. After a spill, I reached out to the Arteck company and they offered to send me another keyboard free of charge and also another warranty for it. Overall amazing service and great keyboard, would recommend for anyone seeking a flat keyboard!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Keys are satisfyingly quiet. Works like a charm definitely got more than what i paid for. (Note, i only had it for about a week, well see how it holds up in a few weeks)

I purchased this sometime in 2023.This is the best keyboard I've ever owned.The keys are backlet. There are different brightness levels, and if you want to be fancy, you can change the color of the backlight. Not an necessity but a fun frill!The reason this keyboard gets five stars isthe fact that I am very rough on my keyboards.So far letters have not rubbed off like so many i've had in the past, then I'm not gonna lie. I've slammed my fists down on it a few times in (work related) frustration... immature, i know... But what can I say i've got anger issues. The fact is, with the # of times i've banged on the keyboard (hard), it shouldn't work anymore, but it does!Worth every penny!
