(Upgrade) Rii i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, Blacklit Portable Wireless Keyboard with 2.4G USB Dongle for Smartphones, PC, Tablet, Laptop TV Box iOS Android Windows Mac.Black

Review for the Rii model the one with the red bumper buttons which function as the left and right mouse clicks. Great little keyboard which I have tested on Windows 10 using Bluetooth and the dongle. The scroll wheel works really well and 4 notches of scrolling on the keyboard which is smooth and soft will give you the same results of one press of the page down button on your keyboard. While one notch down on the scroll wheel is the same thing as two presses down using the down arrow key on a standard keyboard. I prefer the scroll wheel for scrolling down over using the touchpad with 2 fingers although this method can also be used. The scroll wheel also functions as a middle click if you press it down. Using two fingers to scroll on any of the small touchpads I have found does not to work very well when scrolling down a long page of info (tends to stop and I have small fingers). This model does have a removable rechargeable BL-5B battery which is on the label; but in addition the BL-5B identification is actually engraved into the plastic below the battery which is a nice touch should you ever loose the original. A quick internet search shows it is a Nokia battery so you could in theory down the road buy a replacement. The only thing I wish it had was dedicated multi media buttons like pause, skip forward, backward although it does have volume buttons with mute and built in arrow keys which work like the arrow keys on a standard keyboard. The manual says it has multi media buttons but just having volume to me does not qualify as "multi media". I suppose there are no media buttons mainly because of the size of the keyboard (limited real-estate). It's too bad they couldn't have used the circle with the arrows to also double as the media keys (with a toggle on the keyboard). The thing I like the most about this keyboard is the scroll wheel which is much easier to use over using 2 fingers on the touch pad. Setting up using Bluetooth and Windows 10 was a breeze as well as using the dongle. The power indicator is green when using the dongle and blue when using Bluetooth. The product pictures do not show it but the dongle stores inside next to the battery. There is a cap locks indicator as well as a charging light and in order to charge you can use the included micro USB cable or one you have already. Overall I would recommend this if you want a small additional keyboard that makes it easier to scroll because of the included wheel.

I am very happy with this purchase. I run a mini PC to my fire TV to play videos and some games on my television. I needed something I could type with and originally purchased a full keyboard with a track pad via mini USB. That keyboard was a nightmare with lag and lacked functionality that made it hard to move the cursor. The Rii i4 on the other hand - wow. I can use the shoulder buttons to left or right click and they are in the perfect spot on this device. The track pad is insanely responsive, I worried about that with bluetooth connectivity but it is great. It has a scroll wheel which is great in function too. Can also click on the trackpad like you would most modern laptops. The on/off is simple and it will shut itself off after awhile to conserve battery which is also ideal. The buttons would not be ideal for anyone looking to type like a paper for school. But I can type emails, messages, search my library, search the web and it works great. It is about the size of a standard gaming controller which is a great fit for my hands. Also backlit which really, is just an added extra benefit at this point. I find it very easily controls the entire desktop and everything else I need it too. The price is on point too, I would have expected this to sell for much more. Very pleased

I've had two of these and a number of other Rii remotes over the last 10+ years. This one is the best. Good layout, backlighting, track pad, control options and usability. The 2.4 Ghz is not bad but if you have any devices on those bands nearby the interference can be rough. My main complaint is that I want to be able to default it into Bluetooth mode while keeping 2.4 plugged in as a backup. Instead of powering on in 2.4 and then having to toggle over to Bluetooth. This thing has been dropped a number of times by my daughter and is still going strong. Even the scroll wheel still works like the day I bought the first one years ago. I use these on my NUC style mini PC's set up as HTPC's. These are more expensive than some other models even from the same company but the functionality is much better. Battery life is solid as well. I get about 2 to 4 weeks of moderate usage out of it before needing to recharge.

Okay, NOW we're talking! I've been looking for a device to replace my Logitech K400 for my media center, specifically one that uses Bluetooth instead of 2.4 GHz. After trying several other devices with absolutely zero success, I reluctantly purchased this little guy to give it a shot. Wow, were my expectations blown out of the water! Setup was quick and easy. The device works really well. The keyboard / touchpad layout seems odd at a glance, but actually works. (The keyboard sort of reminds me of my old Blackberry.) I was able to painlessly use mine to install several applications, login to various websites, and configure several things all from the comfort of my couch. The scroll wheel works like a dream. The back lighting looks nice too. Also, even though the posting led me to believe it was Mini-USB for the charging, it's actually USB-C, which is a total win! I have very minor complaints. A Shift key on both side of the keyboard would be better. I wish it came in a white color option. That's it. See? Minor complaints.

Very happy with my purchase. My TV is connected to a computer (Mac) and it makes for an awesome remote. All the buttons work as expected; for example the home button doesn’t do anything, but the left and right triggers at the top work as left and right mouse buttons. Touch pad works well and it’s easy to control the mouse on a big screen. The Bluetooth setup was very quick and I’ve had no issues with it since. It goes to sleep pretty quickly but wakes up with a button press.

Very good product, with good quality material, and very good functionality, but need to send a link to buy an extra battery for future once needed, could not find it on the net yet. thank you Rii

Très utile pour notre TV

Nosotros usamos una laptop vieja conectada a la television para hacerla smart por medio de HDMI, mas sin embargo estar usando el mouse como "control remoto" si es tedioso, aparte de que tambien necesitas el teclado a distancia. Buscamos teclados con mousepad pero son demasiado grandes para lo que necesitabamos, y este mini teclado ha sido una maravilla. Ya tenemos unos meses con el y todo esta al 100 todavia, lo cargamos como 1 o 2 veces al mes, usandolo con el dongle incluido, nunca hemos probado el bluetooth. Nos ha funcionado con ambos Windows y Linux, nada mas se conecta el dongle y se usa. Dinero bien invertido. Dale like a este comentario para que otras personas puedan informarce igual !

This is a great remote for smart TVs, works perfectly with my TCL smart TV
