Rii (Updated 2018,8-Color RGB Backlit) Rii X8 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad Mouse Combo, RGB Backlit, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery-Black

i like it

As discrip, but some time it cutting

Keep disconnecting, then reconnecting, even if below 3meters from receiver. Very disappointed

This keyboard works 100% straight out of the box, the trackpad works and the scroll wheel works on my Google Tv menu and in apps, someone tried this on a Samsung gaming monitor with smart tv, and the touchpad and scroll wheel didn't work, so keep this in mind as far as compatible brands and tv types go. The keys are quite responsive, though it's smaller than I thought, even watching videos and images, looks slightly bigger, but until you get it yourself, it is small, but very usable, when using the touchpad, the mouse pointer moves from one side to the other about 25% of the screen if you move slow, if you move your finger on the touchpad fast, it will move about 75% of the way, so at times you will need to slide a few times but this is no big deal, if anything it's a good thing, not being too sensitive, thinking where did the pointer go, the mouse pointer stays on screen for about 10 or so seconds before it disappears, so that's good when watching tv or movies. So confirmed, this works perfectly on my 58" CHIQ 4K QLED w/GOOGLE TV (U58QG7L model), looking over Amazon, they seem to work on several other tv brands, but I cannot confirm these, but should be fine, check reviews for your brand or tv type to see if anyone has listed it.

Absolutely love the thing. Bought this for use with my HTPC and it does the job perfectly. The track pad works great, and while I hate track pads, it's much better than having to have somewhere to put a mouse and the room to move it around. The scroll wheel functions just like a normal scroll wheel on a mouse, and has a "middle click" button. The volume buttons are an awesome convenience. The connection is solid and I haven't had a problem with it whatsoever as well. The RGB is either the rainbow effect (it doesn't move or flash) or other solid colors you can choose from; not much customization, but that's not what I bought it for, and shouldn't be what you buy it for either. The brightness of the keys is great in a completely dark room which I do use it in. It's super lightweight, easy to use, and fits in the palm of your hand. The keys feel as nice as they can for a device of this price and size; you're not meant to be typing essays on this of course anyways. Also very impressed to learn that the battery is removable when it arrived! So if the battery dies, no need to throw the whole unit away, just buy a new battery. It also charges via USB-C which is very nice, and does come with a short cable if you don't have one. I will definitely buy another one when I'm in need of a small control device for a PC like this.

Very handy and keyboard works great. One down side. If you have an older tv the usb bluetooth can sometimes not be recoginised hence not being able to use the keyboard for apps or tv control. That said if you have a fairly modern smart tv you have no problem using this device.

This is a dream come true really. While flight simming I have to push my full sized keyboard behind my yoke, making typing very cumbersome. I picked up a smaller Bluetooth keyboard to keep off to the side, but that wasn't ideal either due to having to scoot over to use it as intended (with hands on the home keys!). Now I have this handheld keyboard and man is it nice. It's really plug and play on my windows 11 pc. Just plugged the dongle into my USB hub and it worked right away, no setup required. Now it's always available sitting on top of the yoke, so now entering airport codes, frequencies, whatever, is as easy as reaching for it and using it, and works very well. Seems well made with responsive keys and a logical way of using the shift and function keys to obtain special characters and/or the Fkeys. Backlight works well and changing the color scheme is effortless. The mouse track pad also works very well, which was a surprise to be honest. I didn't think it would be useful, but I'm finding that I'm reaching for my mouse less and less. Yeah, it works that well. And this is coming from someone who really doesn't care for laptop track pads. Also, very glad it has a rechargeable battery, just plug it in after every flight and it's ready to go next time. Overall, a very well thought out devise. Highly recommend.

I used an Rii i8 for a while with my HTPC. It worked well mostly, but I noticed that the touchpad would sometimes not work right. Since these are cheaply priced and cheaply made, I figured it was just time to replace it, so I bought this X8. Overall, I like the X8 better. There are some negative changes though. The X8 has a slippery ABS plastic back, instead of the i8's slightly rubberized texture. The left and right mouse buttons are high up on the X8, and if it is sitting on a flat surface, the X8 will rock forward when trying to push those buttons. On the old i8, the two highest buttons were Power and "Open Media Player" button that I never used. I use the mouse buttons frequently. These are not huge issues, but little things that could have made the X8 much better. I am also not sure how much I like the charge port on the bottom of the X8, but I know that is a personal preference. I do like the dedicated scroll wheel, the multi-colored backlighting, and the status lights being reasonable brightness. (The i8 status lights could almost be used as a flashlight! The X8 are bright enough to serve their purposes without being blinding in a dark room.) If they introduce a Gen 2 of the X8, I would like to see either the mouse buttons moved, or the curve on the back of the controller being closer to the top, so it does not rock forward when using it on a flat surface, and I would really like a USB-C charge port at this point.
