Do you have a TV Box or Smart TV and are tired of typing with the remote control? Here you are...that's it...don't look at anything else. Seriously guys, this little gadget is incredible...it's one of those little gems that you buy cheaply...you think, oh well, let me give it a try...and as you use it, you smile with joy at how well it works. The build quality is just OK, don't expect much, it's a lightweight plastic after all, you'll use it on beds and sofas anyway, not for playing ball with it. As for its functionality, it's very good both as a keyboard and as a touchpad. It has a QWERTY keyboard (Greek characters are not displayed on the keys), convenient shortcuts with the fn key, and 3 different buttons to click on the mouse depending on where your hands are each time. The keys are not completely silent but they don't bother either. You can use it either with its rechargeable battery or with 2 AAA batteries, which is very convenient because let's face it...with its price, it won't come with a top battery, but the point is that if it breaks, you don't throw it away or search for a replacement (which is usually difficult with Chinese gadgets)...you just insert your own batteries and use it. It operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, so it is compatible with most devices. The package includes the keyboard and the USB adapter, a short mini USB cable for charging, the rechargeable battery, and some very simple instructions that are not particularly detailed for you to read all its functions. Finally, I left out the backlight, which is worth every penny. Nice lighting, strong, with the option to choose a steady color or RGB mode. With the fn+f2 keys, you can switch between 3 colors, blue, red, and green. By holding down the fn key and dragging the touchpad, you can also select 4 additional colors (purple, yellow, blue, and white). To activate the RGB mode, hold down the f2 key and drag the touchpad with your finger. At such a price, I don't think there is anything better...it's definitely worth a try! Happy shopping!
There are probably different versions circulating (or mine is faulty) as I bought it for SMART TV control and encountered the following problems on a Samsung Led smart tv 2018 with tizen os.
I can't keep a backlight color: either I choose one of the RGB functions that are so "techno" and bright that it's like a disco ball, or I turn it off.
In the youtube application of the smart tv: some letters ("e", "x", "del", "ctrgr", etc.) either don't register or when you press them, they produce incorrect characters.
In Netflix & Browser applications, the keyboard and navigation work relatively fine.
The dedicated media buttons, volume, mute, menu, etc. also don't work on the tv, you have to find the corresponding F8, F9, etc. keys.
I would return it, but with a cost of 5 euros, it's not worth paying for shipping.
On the positive side:
- It is indeed small and lightweight.
- It has two battery options (its own lithium or 2 AA).
- The price
I give five stars just for the price; with this money, you get much more than you pay for. As many others have written, it does its job, so it is extremely value for money!
It does the job just fine, economical, moderate construction. The truth is I was expecting something bad but fortunately it is decent..connected immediately and easy to handle...
Well. I have used 2 other minikeys from a different company (sanio) so far. Both of them were of very low construction quality and they did their job for no more than a year. Then, some buttons and keys started not working, the trackpad may not have had a very good response, etc.
Of course, I didn't expect much more from products that cost 5-10 euros, they did their job and I always had in mind that I would replace them in 1-2 years.
This particular one lasted 1 day...
I can't know if I made any mistake myself, so far all the minikeys I had were plug and play, meaning I connected the usb and they started working. This one, worked fine, as soon as I connected it the first day and the second day, nothing.
I have connected it to 3 devices and it doesn't work on any of them. I have tried putting in and taking out batteries, connecting it to different usb ports, even updating the drivers for the usb ports (if possible)... nothing.
If anyone has any suggestion for me to try to fix it, okay, but its rating won't go above 3 stars, because even if it eventually works, compared to the previous ones, it has disappointed me.
Given the proportions regarding its size, it is an excellent small device that performs perfectly for what it is intended: a small keyboard for your living room or bed. It is made of relatively cheap material and therefore requires special handling and care. However, it has a very special function to fulfill, and in this field, it excels, especially in its mouse function, where similar devices usually suffer. In this case... congratulations to the Chinese who invented it...
You don't get it to write fast, but neither for the quality construction. In my case, I got it because I wanted to relax on the couch and watch movies, videos, and much more on the TV (which is connected to the PC)
Good plastic but bad electronics. I had it for 3 months and it was working fine, but one day the contact for the battery just came off. I soldered it back on and after 3 months it started not registering my movements on the touchpad and had a delay of more than 3ms
Unfortunately, I was expecting to receive a rechargeable controller as shown in the pictures, but I received one with batteries. I will have to keep it because I need it urgently, but I would have liked to receive what I ordered. ☹️
It is incredibly convenient. Don't expect any amazing plastic quality, but it is a sturdy construction. The battery lasts quite a while (it has a battery similar to old Nokia phones). It's perfect for speakers or a media center PC. Obviously, you won't write an essay on it, but that's not its purpose. It would be perfect if there was a model that could program the volume buttons of the TV (like some other remotes), but for the price of a pack of cigarettes, I can't complain.
The ultimate value for money. Don't expect fantastic build quality, if you start pulling buttons they will come out. For its price, it does everything and it's worth it, otherwise you have to spend a lot of money for something that does what this does. Keyboard and mouse, wireless, rechargeable battery, and a backlit feature that you can turn on and off at will so you don't have to search for the Delete key in the dark. You can use it wherever you want, for PC, TV, if it has USB and functions "like a computer" it will probably help you! I bought two so that if one breaks I don't have to search to see if the model is still available. Nothing has happened to the first one yet!
Good keyboard, it helps a lot for smart TVs or TV boxes that I have connected. It gives me a bit of trouble because I was used to the Savio keyboard that has the keys (trigger) on the top, which fell once and the triggers broke, that's why I got this one. It seems good, time will tell.
I use it with an old laptop that I have connected to a smart TV instead of a TV box, and it does its job perfectly. For its price, it is excellent. It is used from a distance of 3m.
Very useful! It is a cheap construction but it serves you well. It has beautiful colors in the lighting. It saves energy. On the second day, I couldn't close the battery cover, but I used duct tape... haha
There are similar products on the market, but this one excels in the fact that you can comfortably type in the dark even if you don't know the blind system ;-)
So far, it is very good. It is the version with non-rechargeable batteries. I will come back later because in the past I had bought the same one with a rechargeable battery and it had swollen
I got it for my 10-year-old LG smart TV because it was somewhat inconvenient to navigate the cursor on YouTube, search for videos, etc.
Fantastic little tool. No more tedious selection of each letter individually on the keyboard.
It works from 4m away, comfortably.
The touchpad is nice, and the click is good too.
Excellent value for money!
I have bought about 10 of these little machines. More than half of them had an issue with the trackbar. When they work, they are perfect, but most of the time they don't. This particular one works fine when you open it, but when it goes into power save mode, you can't even mark the X to close the window.
It is good, I didn't expect it, pleasant surprise. I had bought one from Logitech but it didn't work at a distance of 1.50 meters. This one works perfectly fine and has nice lighting. Update 14/04: The battery runs out quickly and it freezes with simple use.
We had it for two years!! When we got it, the child was one and a half.. Imagine what it endured until it literally broke it. It still worked even when it was half broken. I probably charged it ten times during this whole period! It had a huge range, it even worked upside down. Used it with a mibox 4s. It's beautiful, lightweight, and very functional. The only negative thing is that it was easily lost. It fits under the couch and slides away, but with a three-year-old child, everything slides away. We have stepped on it, thrown it, and sat on it dozens of times. The colors are very bright (it bothered me a little), of course, we will buy it again. We have already given it to friends. If it had voice command..!! Unfortunately, it doesn't activate/deactivate the box, but with only six euros that I bought it for, we can't have everything. The connection is made with a mini USB stick. A purchase that doesn't require thinking
Review after one month of use on TV box.
It does exactly the job I wanted. The construction seems cheap (it smelled a bit like plastic when I opened it), but it hasn't presented any issues so far. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
It is the best.
Functional.
Lightweight, easy to press buttons, all the buttons you need,
and the craziest thing is that it takes either a USB battery (which is included) or AAA x2.
I ordered 5 for friends and relatives and probably more
I wonder how I lived before I bought it!!! I had a Logitech K400 that had drained my soul and I had paid 7 times more for it! Note: Some keep a steady LED color and some blink like crazy, like DISCO lights. I don't know if it's a feature or a defect, but the ones that blink are terrible because they distract you and confuse you while typing. The battery is the classic type of Nokia, meaning it charges in both mobile phones and if you have a Nokia around, you never run out of battery. As for the price... the battery costs half the money if you buy it separately!!
If you overlook the small buttons that make it a bit difficult to use, it is very value for money. It is very convenient with the smart TV and saves you time!
Unfortunately, the battery of the product swelled after a month of use. While it was functioning, it was incredibly convenient and overall, apart from the battery, the build quality is quite good for its price. Due to its value (purchased for about 14 euros), I didn't bother looking for another battery. Instead, I downloaded a wireless mouse application on my phone and it did the job I needed.
