Arteck Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard Compatible with iPad 10.2-inch/Air/ 9.7-inch/Pro/Mini, iPhone and Other Bluetooth Enabled Devices Including iOS, Android, Windows, Black

A light delight. Paired effortlessly with my Galaxy tab. I hate using the onscreen keyboard and find this bluetooth keyboard, so much more accurate and simple to use - faster typing and many fewer mis-hits, and the on-screen keyboard hids itslef obediently and no longer obscures vital info. The keyboard itself is a delight to use, lovely touch, almost silect, but definite feel and is wonderfully light on my lap. Good value and a real pleasure to use, what more can one ask for at this price?

I started out by thinking I would buy an Apple Magic Keyboard, but when I saw the price of them I thought no thank you. So started to look for alternatives. I was highly skeptical of the low priced keyboards and expected them to be pretty useless. There were plenty in the £60-£100 range and I was tempted with these thinking they’d be middle of the road on performance and price which would be OK. Then I spotted this one for a ridiculously low price and read the reviews, so decided to give it a go - not much to lose. All those high review ratings turned out to be true - brilliant. I’ve been amazed, its fits my criteria perfectly. It is the same width as the cushion type stand I use to hold my iPad on my lap and I can sit perfectly comfortably with the keyboard in front of the iPad on the cushion in a comfy chair and type away - at last without endless mistakes that tended to happen using the onscreen keyboard. Being a traditionally trained touch typist it is a joy to be back on a keyboard with real keys and to use all my fingers again!!! The feel of the keyboard is just right - enough ‘click’ and ‘resistance’ to feel comfortable and keep my typing even. And very importantly NO LAG, the text appears instantly on the screen. Also as a person of mature years, using all my fingers for traditional typing means less pain. When I used the onscreen keyboard the two finger type action meant that those fingers often got stiff and painful. No more - what a relief. If I’d used the onscreen keyboard typing this review I would have got as frustrated as hell and would have given up really early, but with this keyboard I’m happy to type away! Currently can’t fault it. Connected to my iPad instantly without hassle, and does so every time I go to use it. The keyboard hooks nicely on top of my iPad for storage (see photo) when I’m not using it which is shear fluke I know, but hey its a small win I’m grateful for. My only regret is that I didn’t buy one ages ago 🤦‍♀️… would have saved me a whole load of frustration and pain (literally). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Working well, quality is alright. the size is very good to be on a laptop

For the price this is a very good and functional keyboard which I wanted for my iPad. It works well and seems very responsive. It was very easy to pair via Bluetooth. When using the keys is a slight rattle feel but given the price and value for money I'm very happy with the overall quality and functionality.

I have three of these Arteck HB098 bluetooth keyboards. Whilst they don't get lots of use, they are very convenient and ideal if you want something portable. Thin and lightweight, they can easily be packed away for use when travelling etc. The keyboard is idelal for use with a Rapberry Pi if you don't want a wired keyboard, or if you want to use the keyboard remotely, such as when the Pi you're controlling is the other side of the room. The keys are full size and are comfortable to use, rather than have to peck at the tiny keys that usre used on some portable keyboards, and the keyboard is powered by 2 x AAA batteries which last a long while. I always prefer batteries over a buit-in power pack that is charged up by USB. That way, as long as you have a spare set of batteries, you never have to worry about the keyboard being unuseable because it has to be charged up. The keyboard can be used with any bluetooth device where a keyboard can be used - Mobile phone, tablet, laptop etc. and it is ideal if you want to do a lot of text because: a) You can type naturally, rather than have to mess about with the touch screen keyboard b) There is no touch screen keyboard taking up page space, which gives you a much better view.

You know what, for a cheap keyboard, this is a great buy! It's more than lightweight (a stiff breeze could carry it for you), and it is very transportable. It was very easy to connect and the input speed is everything you could wish for - I actually use it for gaming as well as work, and at an amateur level I would say it goes toe-to-toe against 'proper' keyboards. No, you will not fool anyone into thinking it's an Apple keyboard, or even an expensive unbranded one, but is it a good keyboard? Yes, yes it is. It's comfortable, and the size is comparable to inbuilt laptop keyboards. I have used it for 4-5 hours nonstop, with no complaints. The battery life will obviously depend on the quality of the batteries you insert, but I have not had to replace them in over a month of daily use, and not in any danger of needing to replace them soon. There is no recharge cable port. Overall, it's a great, affordable keyboard and I recommend it. Update 2024: After four years of rigorous daily use, for work and gaming, the keyboard has died. It lived far longer than a £15 keyboard had any right to. I charged the batteries (eneloop rechargeable AAA) probably every year? I could never have dreamed of such reliability and function. Cause of death: fires out inputs which aren’t being inputted - it’s convinced the ctrl key is being held down. I’ve tried a few fixes, but it seems it’s finally time to say goodbye :’( I would still recommend this keyboard, you will not be disappointed

Nice and light, decent key feel. However keys are mis-mapped for a macbook US. I tried multiple different keyboard layouts and none mapped the ~ key correctly (pretty important key for unix users). I tried contacting the Artel through amazon (no response) and via their email [email protected] which bounced. Is this company in operation?
