Arteck Universal 2.4G Wireless and Bluetooth Touch TV Keyboard Multi-Device with Easy Media Control and Build-in Touchpad Keyboard for Smart TV, TV Box, TV-Connected Computer, Mac, HTPC

Update - This is a great seller! They reached out to me and offered to replace the keyboard when I had a problem and I don't even have to send back the original. I've updated my review to reflect the excellent customer service. Mistakes are inevitable in life but how we handle them is what makes the quality of our character. Buy with confidence from these people. They'll take care if you if anything goes wrong. The keyboard is great for typing and I like the track pad a lot for when I'm composing music on piano across the room from my computer and a mouse is inconvenient. The track pad is a little small for long periods of use but it's great for when a mouse would be one too many devices taking up space. It's great if you're using a tablet or phone, for instance. The size of the track pad is a trade off between usability and form factor and I think the designers hit a sweet spot between the two. Having full sized keys to type with is more important to me than a larger track pad and the keys work well enough for my purposes to do quite a bit of typing on. If you need a keyboard with track pad built in, this is a good choice! ******* Original review The keyboard I received only works in WiFi mode. According to the Windows Bluetooth dialogue, the device pairs and connects but the PC doesn't actually receive any input from it when in bt mode. It only receives input when using the WiFi dongle. I really need the Bluetooth feature for when I'm working at a greater distance from the PC. Return on this is a pain too because I can't just drop it off at UPS. I have to find a box, package it, and print the label myself. Not a huge deal but more of a pain than I want to mess with. Disappointed all around. Other than that, it's a nice keyboard, good clicky keys, metal body, doesn't slide around on your desk. Gave two stars because it would be great if the Bluetooth option actually worked.

Good keyboard, wireless features work well, Bluetooth features work well, very convenient I can use it on two different devices at the same time by activating the mode button keys. Rechargeable battery is questionable, not sure how long it will last without a recharge. Keys are not backlight, overall small footprint, trackpad somewhat small, battery indicator feature helpful. I would say good value for the price.

Feels really solid and packed with features. I liked that it worked wirelessly using different technologies. What was kind of a let down was the functionality. Toggling to the preferred wireless was kind of a pain. It went to sleep a lot and it takes a few seconds to respond once it wakes up… Like me before my 1st cup of coffee. Unfortunately, in today’s i want it now era, when im watching tv, i just dont have the patience. The keyboard also has issues ‘seeing’ the receiver at a short distance. Yes, i’ve verified its fully charged. If it doesn't have direct line of site at a 12 foot distance, it wants to give up and stop responding. I find myself holding the keyboard up and pointing it at the media server in order to click the ‘next episode’ button. Other keyboards ive used worked with the server tucked into a closet 30 feet away. This one looks nice though and looked robust. I’ll keep it around and maybe try the bluetooth. Eventually, it will probably go into the guest bedroom. I’ll let the in-laws play with it instead of letting it going to waste. **Update** To my surprise, the vendor sent me another keyboard to try after seeing that I was having issues. Though I really appreciated the quick response and service, what really surprised me is that the new keyboard seems to be working better. What I originally thought was a design flaw, may turn out to be a mechanical issue. Although I can’t give it a full 5-star review until I fully vet the equipment, I will bump it up another notch for the excellent customer service and the improvements I've observed over the original keyboard I ordered. If I don’t have any lagging or connection issues after using it a week or so, I’ll leave some additional feedback.

This has honestly got to be one of my best purchases from Amazon. Given I have hundreds, that means a lot. So that I don't end up rambling about why I like this keyboard, I'll sum it up with some bullet points... - High quality build - Great responsiveness from keys and trackpad - Cool and unique design (the photos don't do it justice even though it looks good there too) - Easy to type on due to the streamlined design - Zero issues with Bluetooth and never had to go back and restart the Bluetooth connection through the settings - Switching from the dongle to the 2 Bluetooth (and vice versa) is easy and has quick responsiveness (with some understandable delay in time to register) - Amazing customer support Two small things that would make this great device even better is if there were backlight options and if the keys could be quieter. The second might have more to do with induvial user's experiences but the option to have lights or none at all would likely make for an even better keyboard.

I wanted a wireless keyboard with a track pad that I could use from a recliner while coding, surfing the web and watching movies on my HTPC. This seems to have been asking for a unicorn because of the 6 keyboards I tried, none quite checked all the boxes. The Arteck HD197 (this keyboard) came the closest though, and is what I ended up settling for. Pros: - typing is responsive and feels much better than the Logitech K400 Pro and similar keyboards I tried. I can do some serious typing with these keys! Measured 80+ wpm while leaned back in a recliner. - perfect weight for lap typing, and the feet dont slide too much while in a recliner. - love the ability to switch between 3 devices using 2 Bluetooth connections and a 2.4ghz dongle. I use it to switch between a work laptop, iPad Air gen 3, and a Linux HTPC. - affordable. Mehs: - stainless still finish is kinda nice looking at first (would have preferred all black), but gradually accumulates finger prints and smudges. Cons: - sometimes the mouse will fall asleep but not the keyboard and vice versa. This can cause key remaps to be lost when the keyboard wakes, requiring them to be reapplied after every sleep. I created a script to detect connections and reapply keymaps, but this should not be needed. - serious ghosting due to strange key wiring. Some key combinations work fine (like caps lock + win key + 1), while similar ones do not (caps + win + 2). - strange inconsistencies between connection methods. On 2.4 ghz dongle I cannot select multiple browser tabs with shift + click, but I can when using Bluetooth. - prefer rechargeable batteries over irreplaceable lithium ion for sake of the environment and long term use. - not the easiest keyboard to clean, crumbs and such are hard to get out if they get behind the relatively large holes around the keys. - the new keyboard version no longer reports charge percentage via Bluetooth, but the old version did. Note there are two versions of this keyboard (see picture). The new one uses USB-C for changing, has a back button symbol above the keyboard, has connection LEDs that stay constantly lit while connected, and has some new quirky ghosting on 2.4 ghz that the old keyboard doesn't have (like shift + left click not working), and doesn't report battery percentage via bluetooth. The old version uses micro USB, has what I guess is a switch app button above the mouse, has connection LEDs that blink while connected, and doesn't suffer the new 2.4ghz ghosting but still has all the other previously mentioned ghosting, and reports battery life via bluetooth. It seems if you get a used or refurb keyboard it might be the old version, while new orders gave me only the new version. Overall I prefer the new version, though I really wish Arteck hadn't introduced additional ghosting. If you only want to do light typing, I suggest going with the Logitech K400 Pro. While its track pad is tiny, it is usable. If you want to do something more typing intensive, this is the best keyboard I have found with multi-device connect and a touchpad. If you can live with just a single Bluetooth connection, you might want to consider the Arteck HB305-4B. It has a slightly nicer black finish and keys feel a bit smoother to touch, but ghosting and other problems remain. I really wish there was a better engineered premium wireless keyboard with touchpad and multi-device connect. I would be willing to pay at least twice as much for one. But as of 2025 Q2 this is the best of the few available, so if the cons aren't deal breakers, give it a go!

Single best and most useful thing on my desk. It makes moving between multiple screens and computers seamless. My only suggestion for upgrade would be to make the track pad a little.less tactile. It does not allow for fingers to move smoothly like the trackpad on my laptop. I am sure it is a way of keeping costs down but I would be willing to pay more for anupgraded version.

[edit: dropping to 1 star ... after barely a week of light use the backspace keycap broke and the stem is broken so I can't easily repair] Purchased for a living room keyboard to my HTPC. Pretty happy overall. Pros: * Good price for the functionality * Easy to use (see Linux BT LE caveat at bottom) * Decent key feel * Light Weight Cons: * I would rather the 3 device buttons (USB Dongle, BT 1, BT2) on the top right were switches rather than keys. They're a bit too easy to press. * Aluminum clear finish is a fingerprint magnet. Like as in rare earth magnet and oily fingers. Overall, I'm happy and would buy again. I quickly got it to pair with the USB dongle to my Linux desktop PC (Bazzite 44). 0 issues, quickly recognized. I then paired it to my Pixel 9A over BT, same ease of use. The Linux caveat comes in on connecting it to Bluetooth LE on a desktop PC (I use a TP-Link BT 5.3 USB adapter). At least for KDE the LE mode isn't enabled by default. I had to use `bluetoothctl` to turn on LE, pair and trust. Once done, the device "just works" with KDE. Steam "Game Mode" use is supposed to be smoother, understanding LE connections natively, but I can't test that just yet.

Honestly, this keyboard is one of the greatest ive had. The metal frame feels solid and has a nice sheen to it. The fact it has usb/dongle, Bluetooth 1, AND Bluetooth 2 is huge. Keys are properly spaced, trackpad is responsive-ish and normal. Charging is easy and the usb/dongle is stored on the back side — magnetized. The ONLY complaint/constructive improvement is to move the LEDs at the top (above the quick keys and trackpad) to illuminate above their respective buttons. The dongle buttons has a green light above it when used, so should BT1 and BT2. Either way, that’s just being picky.
