D8 Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad, Colorful Backlit Small Wireless Keyboard, Handheld Remote for PC, Raspberry Pi 4, Android TV Box, KODI, Windows 7 8 10

Linux Mint Cinnamon users UNITE! This works flawlessly on our favorite little OS! The color slider doesn't quite live up to the hype from my experience, however I can get a couple shades of blue, one is a teal-ish color, green, blue, red, yellow all show up, there are some other mixes that kind of just look like a bunch of dots of color, but that is an extremely minor detail. The low/medium/high level light works great, the 2 finger scroll and tap works fantastic. Now a lit bigger than say an Xbox controller, but it's a great value for the money

Works well does keep a decent charge. Mouse pad is a little difficult to use

I was looking for a small keyboard for game text chats. I didn't want the one that plugged into the controller because of the controller case. But I didn't want a full-sized keyboard, because I'm just sitting in my chair. Pros -This is small enough to fit on my table beside my chair without taking up all the room on the end table. -It's backlite to be easy to see in the dark when I'm gaming -It works with Playstation 5 -It does show as a mouse but it does work like a regular keyboard. -So far the battery life is decent. But I'm not a 16 hour a day gamer, constantly text chatting Cons -It does feel very lightweight and cheaply made IF that matters to you. But you get what you pay for. I'm happy with it being lightweight. -The charging cord is the Micro USB instead of USB-C. -The charging cord is also tiny. Less than a foot. May want to use a longer cable. -The buttons are very small. Really small. If you're a kid or have the hands the size of a kid, like me, even you may have issues. It's the price to pay for small. Would not recommend for large hands at all. - Stretched out like Stretch Arm Strong, my hand span is 6 1/2 inches and my fingers are 1/2 inch in width. And I have to use my fingertips, and I still hit multiple keys at the same time. Or the wrong key with my fingernail I can't speak to longevity as it's a recent purchase. I've only had it a couple months.

Unfortunately the device can't stay connected to the usb receiver unless you are within arms reach, about 3 feet. Too bad because I really liked the idea of having a large TouchPad 🙃

I've been using wireless mini keyboards as remote controls for Raspberry Pi 3, 4, and 5 computers for years. The computers are running LibreElec/Kodi, and function as a media center to watch movies and browse YouTube. Search Amazon for "mini keyboard kodi", and you'll see a bunch of the mini keyboards. They usually have circular areas on the upper right and left that provide the "arrow" type of controls, a touchpad area between the circular areas, a keyboard below that, and cost around $10. The problem with these mini keyboards is their wireless connections are terribly weak, and the keyboards fail in 1 - 6 months. The last 3 of these mini keyboards I bought were nearly useless. So, I decided to look for something better. The "D8 Mini Keyboard" is an incredible improvement over the ones I've been using. First, it actually works. The connection between the keyboard and the Raspberry Pi computer is very strong (I sit about 10 feet from the computer), and when I press a key it works, I don't need to press it a number of times to get it to work like I do with the other mini keyboards. The touchpad is very responsive. I usually keep the backlight turned off on the other keyboards because the colors are garish and annoying, but with this keyboard they are tasteful and helpful. I particularly like the green color. The keyboard has an auto-sleep mode that engages after 1 minute of inactivity. Just touch any key and it wakes back up. I haven't had this keyboard long enough to know how long it will last, but I can say that I am so happy with it that I purchased a second one as a backup. This is not a keyboard that I would think anyone would use for normal access to a computer because it is very small - it's about 5-1/2" wide and 4-1/4" tall. It seems to me to be more appropriate to be used as a remote control, and access to the letter and number keys is done via your thumbs, like on a cell phone.

Issues with again and again battery lane can’t tell if it’s draining or just dying

I bought this in March of 2024 and the batteries kept dying when charging them. I figured I’d buy a separate charger for the ion batteries but same result. It did work well (while it was actually working) and I like how it typed, the soft backlight, and the mousepad movement was smooth but I can’t say I’d recommend this product due to the short duration of the keyboard.

Battery is fantastic. This thing was $20 I'm sold! It feels nice and is about the size of a console controller, but thinner. Simple to use, fun to master. I use for Samsung dex on an s20+ I am considering buying another for the inevitable because I like it so much.
