HD197

Very useful keyboard supplying wireless usb and 2 additional Bluetooth connection for up to 3 devices in total which have never disconnected randomly or malfunctioned. Battery life on the keyboard is perfect - around the 2 month mark is when I need to charge it, that being after 8-12 hours of use for 5 days a week (on average) Touchpad also makes things a lot easier, due to having a Bluetooth mouse that doesn't last as long (battery wise). Keys are appropriately sized and also suited for Mac and windows use, with the main layout considering windows and some keys have light grey markings to note the Mac keys. Overall a good keyboard, would highly recommend to anyone considering purchasing an efficient and productive keyboard

i have used this for 2 years now and i can say i love it. while no backlight is a pain the battery life and ability to switch between bluetooth devices at the press off a button is soooo helpful. it just worked great. I used it as an extra keyboard for my phone and pc but mostly used it on my steam deck and can say I had no problems till about 1 and half year. then the bluetooth started to get aa bit choppy. so i switchhed to a different channel and worked fine for another 3 months then that started to struggle to work so switched to the usb stick and thatt worked for about 4 months. now however its more of a frustration so i'm getting another one. so expect it to last about 2 years before you need a new one.

This is a almost ideal sofa keyboard providing input to video streamers or PCs using the lounge TV as a display. There is a simple slide on/off switch and three buttons to select the required interface channel with indicators The USB channel uses a bespoke radio dongle in the form of a USB plug to transmit info at 2.5GHz. To a computer it looks like a standard USB hybrid keyboard/mouse. Each of the two Bluetooth channels can be individually paired to a different device. The keyboard is charged via USB and an indicator changes colour when fully charged. The power indicator flashes a number of times, when a power check button is pressed, the more flashes the greater the remaining charge. When the charge becomes low the power indicator flashes to provide a warning. When used with Android devices select keyboard language in Settings to get £ sign etc. I have been using it for some months and the 3 communication channels are a great advantage. There is a matching mouse with the same versatility Works well with Fire TV Cube and modern PCs. Such good design is worth your patronage.

Bought for a tv to save thumb wear. Unfortunately it didnt work for the intended use, but I am using it for something else. I found it easy to connect to the dongle (needed keyboard charging). Only ising it for one device, but aside from the d9ngle, there are 2 x blutooth buttons that will allow connectivity to other blutooth enabled devices. Seems fairly sturdy, and no issues so far.

Summery of arteck hd197 keyboard trackpad combo. Build quailty: Good (metal front plate plastic back) limited deck flex. Rounded off keyboard buttons also will protect the keys from catching and getting damaged. Buttons: really loud, but big and tactile Trackpad: very useable, better then other keyboard trackpad combos ive tried. Pairing was easy for me on my samsung s23 ultra. Dont buy this keyboard if: you are looking to use this in meetings. Its as loud as some mechanical keyboards. If you want quietness get a logiteck pebble. Buy this if: you want a conveniant solution to quickly control a media station, edit spreadsheets on your phone, or use with a raspberry pi like device. Video below is typing sound comparison

The keyboard arrived with minimal packaging that was easy to get in to. A bonus nowadays. The keyboard build, although it is classed as a budget model, is first class. It is of steel construction and feels very substantial. All they keys work well and are similar to those on my laptop. When touched they depress a little so that you know that you have used them. The trackpad is very sensitive and responsive and has a left and right mouse key, as well as the ability to respond to a finger tap. I bought the keyboard to use with the internet etc., on my new Samsung Smart TV using Bluetooth. The only downside that I found with the keyboard was that the keyboard would not connect to the TV by using the instructions that came with the it. However, this was easily solved by looking on the web and finding a YouTube video that explained how to do it. The video instructions were easy to follow and I had the keyboard up and running in no time. Happy to report that it now works like a dream with my TV. A great buy :-)

tl;dr: don't waste time and money and listen to other reviews mentioning short working range. Biggest flaw -- both Bluetooth and USB dongle working range are the worst I've ever seen. For USB dongle it will work ONLY in direct sight of it, and 2-3m max. Anything obstructing direct sight to dongle will make keyboard unusable -- even if you put it on your laps in front of TV, it will stop working. If you turn it a bit, it will stop working. BT is a bit better but the same overall -- won't connect to my laptop under TV in a closet behind thin wooden door. Keyboard itself is pretty nice for this price (metal panel, good buttons, has touchpad, sturdy), and having two BT connections plus USB dongle is a big advantage but it is COMPLETELY ruined by the fact that nothing works unless the keyboard is <1m from the connection source.

I salvaged an old all-in-one PC from a neighbour's wall, installed Linux Mint, and decided to make it into a 'streaming TV' for the living room. I wanted a wireless media keyboard for easy sofa use and order this model. It fits the bill. The keyboard in not exceptionally sturdy but it types well enough and has enough keys to make skipping tracks or adjusting volume easily. One nice touch is that it can support three wireless devices, with a simple button to switch. Therefore, I can using the 2.4ghz dongle with the Linux PC but use it as an iPad keyboard easily without lots of pairing and unpairing. The trackpad works okay, good enough, but is nothing special. Overall, a decent package for the money.
