A Small Keyboard With Huge Functionality
342072
A very useful adjunct for the Ottbox media streamer. The limited usability of the remote that comes with the Ottbox is greatly enhanced and extended with the Rii i8+ mini keyboard. It's remarkable that so many functions have been incorporated into such a small device. Having a touch pad and separate buttons for left and right mouse clicks are among the most useful reasons I would highly recommend this keyboard.

This is a fantastic keyboard!  I unfortunately spilled coffee on my old keyboard and Amazon delivered this little gem the next day.  That is really impressive for someone who lives at the edge of the wilderness.  This keyboard is SMALL.  It takes up less room on the desk and does everything I want it to do.  I am really pleased with Amazon and this keyboard.

I am using my new Fintie keyboard to write this review.  This little keyboard is useable though not, of course, ideal for long term use.  You wouldnt want to type on it all day, thats for sure.  Due to its small size, there are inevitable compromises.  First, the keyboard layout is idiosyncratic. Both the  and  symbol are accessed through the function key.  The delete key also accessed with the function key.  The small size of the keyboard makes touch typing a challenge.

Actually, true touch typing is impossible.  A modified touch typing scheme is possible, which I am using right now. Since, the keyboard is small, I have to look at it to ensure that spelling doesnt suffer.  On a regular sized keyboard, I can look at the screen, and not the keyboard at all.  Even looking at the keyboard, more errors than usual crop up.  Mostly they involve problems with the spacebar.  It is small, so it is easy to miss it.  Run-on words are common.  Example: I had to correct thekeyboard in the above sentence.

Another quirk I have found is that sometimes (not often) the Bluetooth connection will just drop for no discernable reason. Easy enough to reconnect, but it happens occasionally.

The key strokes are pretty much instantaneous so there is not problem with responsiveness.  The keyboard is extremely light, weighs hardly nothing at all, and the tablet itself seems pretty well protected by the case.  The magnet holds the keyboard firmly in place, and keeps the case closed firmly when you fold it up.  All in all, this keyboard is much more useable than the on screen virtual keyboard that is on the tablet screen, but a step or two less functional than a full sized keyboard.  Make sure you use this with  good spellcheck program with a robust autocorrect feature, and most of your spelling errors will be resolve on the fly.

In addition to this keyboard, I have a Logitech K480, which is also a Bluetooth device and much larger and heavier.  It is portable, but not something you would want to carry around everywhere. I have it here at my desk, and use it when I am here at the office.  The Fintie goes with me every where else.  At this price point, $27 on Amazon, this is definitely a great addition to the usability of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A I use.  Get this keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse, and it really improves the functionality of an Android tablet.  Of the two, if I could only have one, I would take a mouse.

Attached is a photo of the Fintie, Logitech and a standard keyboard, for comparison purposes.

UPDATE: I bought this keyboard a few weeks ago, and reviewed it.  I am updating this in a separate question because I confused with what is going on.  First, this keyboard still works quite well, for email and with a word processing program.  Where it is falling down is with posting on the Internet, both on Facebook and in various forums I post in.  To be fair, this problem is not limited to the Fintie keyboard.  It also occurs with my Bluetooth Logitech K480.  The problem with both is word order transposing while typing a sentence.  Here is an example: If I type This Fintie keyboard works fine most of the time but is intermittently wonky. I will get: This keyboard Fintie works fine of most the time is but intermittently wonky.

It will randomly change word order.  Both of the keyboards, the Fintie and the Logitech, do this.  When I am typing, the cursor will move from the end of the word, right back to in front of the word I just typed.  Type Fintie and the cursor moves back in front of the F. Try to move the cursor back to where it is supposed to be and the next letter you type moves right back to in front of the F.
Typing is garbled to the point of unuseability, at least for FB posts and forum posts.  Again, this is not a Fintie only problem.  Both of my Bluetooth keyboards work fine for email and with Word.  This must be a Samsung or possibly an Android problem.  If anybody can fix this, please let me know.

Full size keyboard with the smallest possible footprint on the desk, and a great price. Flawless performance for the two months I have owned it. I liked it so much I ordered one for my office at work. I am typing on one now.

This is a great little keyboard that I purchased after I moved from a full-size iPad to a mini. WIth the full-sized iPad I had a Logitech keyboard that also served as a cover and I loved that, but it didn't fit with the mini.  In retrospect I wish I had not moved down to the mini, but since I did I am glad I researched keyboards and opted for the larger-sized unattached format. Seems solidly built and it's a pleasure to use.

I love the Novation Launchkey Mini 25-Note Keyboard. The smaller keys took me about 30 minutes to get used to. Once I got familiar with the feel of the keyboard, it was smooth playing from then on. I love the small size, it's perfect for working on my desktop digital audio work station. It's compact design saves a lot of space on my desk and makes for very natural and intuitive music programming. The touch pads are a handy addition to the keyboard, and are quite nice for drum programming and triggering sound samples. The pads work extremely well triggering loops and sequences with Ableton Live. The small size also makes for easy traveling. A very powerful compact interface that works quite well at a price that cannot be beat.

This little keyboard works great. Pairing was easy and quick and posed no problems. All of the keys work and do just what they are supposed to do. It's great having a full keyboard for your phone or tablet. I also like the ability to use the touchpad and mouse clicks. It was really interesting to see a mouse-pointer come on screen for my Android phone, but it works without any hiccups. The body of the keyboard is made of a solid feeling metal while all of the keys and touchpad surfaces are a nice feeling plastic. The keyboard is a little small for long typing sessions, but for those times when you need more than the keyboard on the smartphone but you're not writing a full blown essay, this should work great.
I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.

I love this keyboard so much that I bought two of them!  Very small, portable, and compact yet also very nice to type on.  The keys are spaced out like the Lenovo or Apple keyboard are which make it almost impossible to hit another key by accident.  Awesome keyboards!

This is an awesome little keyboard... what sets it apart from other mini keyboards is the game controller styled design, with the track pad in the center so it's easily accessible from both hands... I rarely use my full sized keyboard anymore unless I'm typing a lot.

Pros.  Small form factor; easy setup; easily switches between PC and tablets (Apple, Android) with a simple switch of a button; holds charge a long time; backlit keyboard; very light and suitable for travel
Cons.  Must download software to modify the smart buttons, especially if you old school folks want to use DOS F key functions as originally intended; lacks 10 key function if you are a number cruncher
Bottom line.  Greatly reduced my desk clutter and is a versatile, cross-platform keyboard.  The smaller size did take some getting used to but I adapted faster than I expected.  Do miss not having the 10-key, though.  No regrets, would purchase again.

I purchased this keyboard to use with multiple devices I work with on a daily basis.  Mainly tablets and other small computers.  I also attend trade shows, and using this guy to control a remote PC hidden behind a monitor, or a tablet facing the crowd is a life saver!  It's small and travels very well.  The battery lasts for days, and it sync's very easily.  The keys are tactile, and very responsive.  It comes with 6 rubber pads you can place on the bottom in any configuration you like.  The build quality is nice, so not only do you have a study platform, but it sticks to the surface with great friction.  Wonderful product!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this tiny keyboard but ended up loving it.  I even bought one for my home use.  It's nice to be able to shut down my work computer at night, turn off my keyboard, and place the keyboard in a drawer for the evening.  I also love that I can push the keyboard aside when I need to and have my desk space available for other things.

This is a very nice unit.  It is well designed, open/close is great.  The keyboard is quite usable for big fingers.  It paired immediately with windows 8.1 on a small HP tablet.  The only drawback is the right shift key is not in the right place for my finger :-)  This is true of small keyboards I have noticed so I know I will get used to that with a little use.  The folded up size is great as well - it can fit into small spaces.  Six stars would be about right thus far in my experience.

Purchased this slim little metal (I think) keyboard several months ago to travel abroad with newly acquired ipad.  Definitely a good purchase!  Note that it doesn't accommodate the ipad in the slot provided because I use a heavy duty screen protector.  However, my little foldable Anker stand makes it all work together just fine.  I'm wordy and the onscreen keyboard was ok for quick notes/messages on the run, but just not handy for lengthier writing.  Had to get used to the Logitech small size, but it works great (on table/desk, not lap),  nice 'click' response, allows for easy manipulation of the cursor and other stuff that I haven't yet figured out.  Good instructions,

I haven't had it long, but I'm feeling good about it. The mouse is small, which is fine because I have small hands. The keyboard has travel and the software is excellent and mature. When you hit Caps/Num/Scroll Lock it flashes an on or off notification on screen (see image), which is the right way to do it.

Amazing keyboard, I love it even though I don't use all of its functionality.

Bottom line up front: The keyboard is very well built, with a solid feel to the keys despite the small size and weight of the device. It pairs reliably, and the multi-device sync works flawlessly. I recommend it without reservation for those looking for a full size wireless keyboard that includes a numerical keypad. By the way, I wrote this review on the keyboard using my iPad, switching to my iPhone after the iPad ran out of batteries.

What's good:

- The five device sync is a great idea and works flawlessly. I paired the keyboard to both my phone and ipad, and swtiching from one to the other involves nothign more than a single keypress. Very nicely done, and something I wasn't aware bluetooth devices could do.

- The keyboard is customized to the type of device you have, iOS or Windows. For example, on iOS you have buttons for lighting and home key and Spotlight search, just like on an Apple keyboard.

- There are indicator lights for pairing, low battery, caps lock and num lock. These days its hard to find full size wired keyboards which retain those useful indicators, so it's very nice to see this kind of attention to detail and quality

- Real aluminum. As far as I can tell, the cover of the keyboard is actual aluminum, and has a very nice look and feel.

- The full size keys and numerical keypad

What may not be so good:

- The full size keys and numerical keypad. Yes, the same thing that's great about this keyboard is the only thing that should give anybody pause when considering this. The keyboard is going to be the biggest thing in your bag. So, buy this only if you need the fullsize keyboard with the numeric keypad. If you don't need the keypad, I can recommend Satechi's smaller bluetooth keyboard. I also have that, and it's just as well built as this one.
