(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.

Big improvement over old products. I went to use my old 8i + and the case was all sticky, tried to clean but rubber coating was trashed. So I picked up this product and performs well, case now plastic only so won't have those issues. Bonus it Bluetooth and rf and the scroll wheel is very nice. Also USB c for charging. I don't know if I love the form factor and may also order the updated version of the 8. Quality buy

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.

Doesn't take up much room in my toolbag. Works well with pretty decent range. Let's me move around my equipment and still be able to use mouse and keyboard from wherever. Plastic body feels cheap but I've had no issues with it thus far.

I love this company. They make incredible products that are so well built and efficient. This is exactly what you need for browsing the web, doing research, anything small. I don't recommend replacing you keyboard and mouse for this for gaming because it is too small for that, but it is perfect for anything else. I use this to type quickly on my Xbox, but it has Bluetooth capabilities as well as an adaptor so you can simply plug it in and turn it on, or turn it on and connect it. The track pad is extremely responsive, the keyboard buttons are a very thick rubber which makes it nice to press on. It is completely silent and so easy to set up. I can control my volume through this and it house a little mouse wheel on it!! When you press the buttons, it lights up the buttons from underneath in a convenient yet simple way. It's super easy to use and I will be using this all the time. Thank you Rii for another amazing product!

This thing is pretty solidly built. I use it from my HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) system. I have other models from other brands and they are not as sturdy as this one is. The touchpad is sufficient for my needs. I wouldn't call it high-end but it gets the job done. The top corner trigger buttons work really nice and the touchpad has basic gesture recognition. The backlit isn't obnoxious and turns off after a while. The 2.4 GHz USB dongle was plug and play on my media center mini PC (Windows 11). No need to download any drivers or software. The product comes with a pretty comprehensive manual/documentation. From my experience, a lot of these products are made as cheaply as possible and don't usually come with documentation. This one does. I use this in combination with a handheld trackball by Elecom. While I do prefer to use the handheld trackball to control the mouse cursor, this remote the perfect sized companion keyboard to type with anytime I want to open up YouTube or Twitch. I was considering a Logitech keyboard with trackpad but it just seemed too big and clunky for my needs.

I keep looking for something like the old Xbox 360 controller with the keyboard plug-in. This doesn't fit hands as nicely but it gets the job find. Seems to go a bit wonky after a few years (bought ~5 years before leaving this review). Specifically keys B and N I have to push at an angle now. And if I type too fast, some letters are skipped. The trackpad isn't as accurate as it once was. And I had to replace the battery after ~2 years. But all of that said, it's the best handheld keyboard with a trackpad I've found. Perfect for a home theater PC. Good for quick maintenance on my server. The most underrated feature is the return button. I like to run a browser in kiosk mode and backspace doesn't always work. The return and home buttons are EXTREMELY useful and the reason I went from 3/4 stars to 5.

Great keyboard and touchpad combo for my mini pc used as the family tv's media player. The best parts that other keypads do not have is the physical scroll wheel and ability to use the bumper buttons as the mouse clicks. These 2 things are game changers and make it the best controller for my needs. What I dislike is the weak wireless connection! The Bluetooth and wireless usb connections are not perfect and often lag. I have the computer in full unobstructed view of this remote and maybe less than 10 feet away and the delay is outrageous! So close to returning because of this!

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.

Use on my pc and smart tv.

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
