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

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.

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.

I like the back light. It charges and works properly. The battery life is 4 - 6 days using as a TV remote control with backlight on. The mouse is a little flaky though in the fact that it seems to have a delay which makes it hard to zero in on what you're trying to select. Having a larger mouse pad doesn't really make much difference if you're only using your thumb. It is nice to have two finger scroll. Not sure I would buy this one again because of the mouse delay issue.

It works fine and goes a good distance but when it goes to sleep it does have like a 10-second wake up time I'm sure it's only like three seconds but it seems like an eternity

Super cool lighting, responsive buttons that don't do that weird 2 button ghost press that some cheaper keyboards do. Press the button 1 time and only 1 character will be input not 2 not 3. Very crisp keys that remind me of classic phones. The touch pad works great and I enjoy the placement. Love that I can also see it in the night and works great on my gaming computer when I'm using a controller and just need a keyboard for starting up a game or inputting text.

I have bought 6 of these, and NONE of them are great, they all are good keys, or good range, or good battery life, but they never have all three. And that is ABSOLUTELY the case here. I have several Rii ones where the range is horrible and it just keeps having the blue light flickering to tell me that it's having connection issues. Now here, the connection is PHENOMENAL, it's the best I've ever had, AND the keys feel great, clicky and solid, I am Soo happy with those two things. However, clicking on the touchpad, SUCKS. I have double clicked Soo many times in the last 24 hours. I keep trying to remember to use the actual mouse button, but I instinctively use the pad to click as I have with all the other ones. I don't understand why no company makes a high quality one, I seriously would pay $40-50 for it to have all these qualities necessary. I even bought a $40 "Mini" keyboard but it's too big and not handheld. So anyway, I'd you use this very minimally, or you can regularly just use the mouse buttons you may be alright, but I still have had issues when moving across the pad. And it sucks because even sliding my fingers across the pad it feels decent, it's just too sensitive where I don't even feel like I Clicked down and it just closes something or clicks on something I don't intend to.

It's perfect to replace my full-size keyboard with touchpad, however it came with a basic Micro USB charger. The port it at an angle and the smooth cheap charger wouldn't stay connected; thankfully I had a good one with the prongs to hold it in place. If it would have had the improved connector I'd give 5 stars

I love the look and design, and it's got a great easy-grip all the way around. For gaming this is perfect, it seems to be designed more towards a gaming device than a TV box keyboard. I found certain features missing that would normally be there if the design was for TV boxes. There's no automatic color changing so when you pick a color that's it, I happen to like the rainbow effect for backlighting. There's now power on/off which means snatching another remote or getting up to turn off the box. For PC use this is also ideal. So for gaming and PC use ya got yourself a nice little remote, I still love the design but for a TV box if a little less space was used for scrolling additional features could have been made to make this perfect for every device involving the use of a keyboard. So I might shy away from this for boxes but totally would grab it if you like the design as much as I did for PC and gaming use. Especially where the grip is just perfect to use for gaming over long periods of time. If I bought this for other uses as I mentioned than for sure I would rate this a 5.

I’m using this for my Mac in my theater and I was surprised at well it worked out of the box. The extended trackpad is a real plus. The only downside of course is that none of the special features work with the Mac OS. I’ve come to expect that after years of prejudice against Mac users. If you buy for a Mac the Win button is command. Enjoy!

This keyboard works great for what I need it for. The issue is now I have to charge it for the first time. -The first issue with this is it came with a faulty micro usb cable that is loose and doesn't charge. I tried using the cable with other devices and it's just a bad cable. -The second and main issue is when I use cable that works, the keyboard doesn't continuously charge. When I first plug it in, the charge light turns red to indicate it's being charged. The light will turn off after a less than a minute. At first I thought it was still charging when the light is off, but I left it plugged in charging all night and it still is low battery, which means the keyboard does not charge if the light is off. So now I have to unplug and replug the USB from the computer or keyboard each time the light turns off in order to charge it, which again, is literally every few seconds to a minute. I've included a video. In the video it will show the light off. I unplug and replug the USB cable from the computer which will activate the red light charging indicator. It will turn off again in a few seconds. I turn the keyboard on to show that the light is still flashing green which means low battery. If the battery is at a good power level, it will be a solid green, not flashing.

Works amazing they way it should. Had for several years and still using greatly, making the functionality quick and easy.
