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

When connected to my Android tablet, the HB086 was configured by default to US layout (the £ key produced #). I wasted some some time,finding out that the configuration needs to be changed in Android Settings (Language & Input). Then it worked properly as a UK keyboard. This isn't mentioned in the instructions. Otherwise, it is an excellent keyboard with a good touch and a solid feel. It has handy keys and shortcuts for cutting, copying and pasting, which are otherwise fiddly in Android apps, There are several other function keys, one of which calls up Google search. Unlike other reviewers, I found the Escape key works OK (in Android). However the virtual keyboard or language switching keys did not work. The former would have been handy for flipping to an on-screen keypad to add foreign accents. Still, if you need to do this, you can use the keyboard icon at the bottom right of the screen to display a mini onscreen keypad, while you are still still using the physical keyboard. Pairing is quick and easy, without the need for a password, and unlike my previous £10 bluetooth keyboard, it does not go to sleep for an annoying 1/2 second after a pause in typing. It has a built-in rechargeable battery which charges up quickly with lights to show progress, but the instructions are unhelpful about replacing the battery: They only say that prising the case open "destroys separate keyboard battery from circuit board". Still that may not be a problem for some years. The Arteck costs 80 per cent more than the cheapest on the market, but so far it seems well worth the extra.

Excellent. Very portable, good key action - works very well. Paired easily and battery seems to last well (only used for a week so far).

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.

The little Arteck Bluetooth keyboard came with speedy delivery to my rescue, and very pleased I was with my purchase and its performance. The keyboard feels heavy and high end in my hands, this is given to its steel finish on the back. My previous Bluetooth keyboard was a cheap plastic-ky affair which gave me no pleasure whatsoever and gave up after only a short while. The connection to my Windows laptop was almost instant, once I took upon myself to browse the small user manual and discovered (and I wish someone had just told me), that the only action required from my end to connect is to press Fn and C. Anyone knowing that, needs to look no further and will have access to instant and seamless connection. The keyboard is charged through a usb cable, which is a step ahead of the previous battery-powered models I had. The cable is provided with the keyboard. The layout is close to the standard UK keyboard. I have not tried to connect this keyboard to any other devices than a Windows computer, so I cannot comment on its compatibility to iOS devices, which should also one of its features. The price is a little higher than the basic models of a Bluetooth keyboard, however to my eyes this is completely justified by its high-end feel, hassle-free connection and usb-power, which saves on batteries and is more environment-friendly.

This is a perfectly fine keyboard, although there's nothing "fancy" about it. Pairs easily with Windows 10, and the keys are spaced out nicely, meaning that the typing experience is pleasant enough and typing speed is not hindered, once I got used to the low profile-ness of the keyboard I was able to get close to my peak 75wpm typing speed. The stainless steel construction seems sturdy (although I've only been using the keyboard for about a week), and adds a nice weight to the keyboard, which coupled with the rubber feet underneath means that the keyboard doesn't slip and slide around my desk. The keyboard does go to sleep after a period of time which saves battery, but does mean that you have to remember to wait for the keyboard to wake up before keypresses are recognised. Recharging is done via micro USB which means that phone chargers can be used to recharge the keyboard if a PC USB port is unavailable. Additionally, the keyboard works which charging (I've seen some rechargeables that don't). Since I've only had the keyboard a week I'm unable to comment on exactly how long the battery will last, although I haven't had to recharge it yet, so it's at least a week! The only real oddity is that the "|" and "\" characters are on the Z and X keys which means to type either of those characters you need to use the "Fn + Z" or "Fn + X" key combination which takes a little getting used to. In "normal" typing that isn't an issue, but as a programmer these are keys that are used more often. Not an issue, just a bit of an oddity. Overall I am very pleased with this keyboard. It feels nice to type on, and works consistently well.

I wanted an occasional keyboard for my iPad Pro 12.9 but didn't want to pay the price for the Apple keyboard. Nor did I want a keyboard attached all the time, but only when needed for particular apps, like Davinci Resolve. This does the job perfectly - it connects up to the iPad immediately and continues to work without drama whenever I need it. The build quality is much better than I was expecting for the price - it has a metal back which adds rigidity without too much extra weight. It's much nicer to work with than the pop-up iPad screen keyboard and is small enough to pack with the iPad when travelling. It also sits well on top of the front flap of my iPad cover (see photo) while balanced on my lap - this is a very stable working position and does not tip over like a laptop can. It does make a bit of a clacky sound, but it's not too bad. I suspect it might not be a good fit for a really fast touch typist who needs a silent keyboard with a really fast action, but it's fine for everything else, especially given how cheap it is.

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.

UPDATE! See original review below and take all of the positives described. Seller responded and replaced the keyboard. Now it works as intended, I'm really pleased with the purchase. I have even waited a month or so since the replacement to ensure that the gremlins of the first have not reappeared. If I had received this fully-working keyboard originally, I would definitely be writing a 5 star review. Make sure you get a good one and this will definitely satisfy all of your requirements for a stylish, sturdy, lightweight yet full featured keyboard Sadly, there is no review category on Amazon for "Reliability" for which I would rate it 0. If I had rated it in its first week, 4.5 stars overall as it feels like a quality product from the start: well built, sturdy, satisfying key action and so comfortable to use. Furthermore, it was a doddle to connect* to my pc, my iPad and my android phone. It has all the features of a larger keyboard (save the numpad) that you could ever need packed on to a space-saving and portable footprint. Reading the above, this could have been my favourite ever keyboard to use IF it had only worked properly!! Initially I thought that it was a bit fickle on waking from its energy-saving hibernation mode, often needing re-connecting. However, this minor annoyance was only the start of it. As many other reviewers have mentioned, after only 2 months a fault developed where it would suddenly stop registering any keystrokes for 10-15 seconds then dump all of them in one go with numerous repeats and omissions. This issue is not confined to any specific keys, it occurs at random; sometimes recurring frequently and sometimes appearing not to have any issues at all. There is no identifiable source to this keyboard's problems and I have since replaced it with a different Bluetooth keyboard without experiencing any repeat of these issues. Disappointing, as my new Bluetooth keyboard has been 100% reliable but is nowhere near as comfortable and feels cheap and tacky by comparison. I could, nevertheless, type this review without wishing to throw the ARTECK keyboard out of the window in frustration....

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.

The overall design, materials and quality is top tier. And although this is a smaller type keyboard, it feels like a full size keyboard, no crowding, so I can type at speed instead of thumb typing on my iPhone screen. My only critique would be it doesn't show on my iPhone the battery strength/level like other blue tooth devices, like head phones and ear peaces. Having said that the product does have a lot of battery life per charge. I do recommend this product and would buy this again.

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.

タブレット用にこれまでE社、S社のBluetoothキーボードを使ってきましたが、一部のキーが効かなくなる、押しっぱなし状態になるなどの不具合が多かったため、こちらの製品を買ってみました。 底面がアルミなので剛性感があり、強めのタイピングでもたわみがありません。 パンタグラフ式でキーピッチも19mmあり、下手なノートPCよりも打ちやすく感じます。 裏側の四隅にはゴムが貼ってあるのでしっかりホールドされ、打っているうちに机の上を滑ってしまうこともありません。 ファンクションキーには輝度調整、検索、ボリューム調整、バッテリー確認と必要な機能が割り当てられており、「Fn」キーとの同時押しが不要です。 置いた時の傾斜も、完全なフラットではなく、かといって傾斜がきつすぎることもないちょうど良い角度です。 USB Type-Cで充電できるところも評価ポイントでした。（大手製品でもまだマイクロUSBのものが多くあります） 一つ注意点として、デバイスとペアリングした際、一部の記号（【(】や【「】など）の配列が変わってしまっていることがあります。 その場合はアプリストアから「ELECOM キーボードレイアウト」というアプリをインストールし（※このアプリ単体では起動できない）、物理キーボードの設定で「日本語109A配列」から「日本語エレコムキーボード」に変更すると正しい配列になります。

I LOVE this keyboard!! Good User Manual, easy pairing. Perfect key size, spacing, depth of travel. Very quiet function lets me type notes while on calls. Quick response after sleep mode. This is the second one I've purchased. First one was 4.5 yrs old & going strong, but I got it too wet with disinfectant wipes. I use this keyboard cover, which is a near-perfect fit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075K5TXCL). Bought "Used-Mint" from Arteck and it was perfect condition.
