Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad & LED Backlit, Portable for Laptop/PC/Tablets/Windows/Mac/TV/Xbox/PS3/Raspberry Pi (i8+ Red)

I'm reviewing the Rii i8+ 2.4GHz version of this keyboard. I'll start with the "bad" (not really bad -- just something I've seen other people mention): I have seen other reviews saying that the mouse is "twitchy." To be fair, I had this experience briefly also... until I switched fingers. It does not seem to work well with my thumb. Using my thumb, the mouse moves erratically, and sometimes doesn't register my movements at all. However, if I use my index finger, it works like a dream. Not exactly "my" dream, per se, since I'm not a big touchpad fan in the first place, but it works as well as any other touchpad. I think it's related to surface area. If I use my thumb, or jam some other finger onto the pad, it stops working well, but if I use a light touch with the tip of anything but my thumb, then it works flawlessly. The keyboard works as you'd expect it to. i.e., there are no technical problems whatsoever. As others have mentioned, it does go into a power-saving mode if you don't use it for a few minutes, and you do need to "wake it up" by pressing a key before you can use the touchpad again. You can't wake it up by moving your finger on the touchpad. If you're like me, you may have looked at the pictures and expected it to be somewhat bigger than it actually is. In reality, it's about the width and height of a game controller (I think -- I once had an Xbox, so that's my reference), or maybe a little smaller, and it's much thinner. It's very light (much lighter than my phone, for example), and that may affect your perception of its build quality. Personally, I found the fit and finish to be very professional, though I would have preferred the instructions and branding on the touchpad to be removable. To me, the lack of weight mostly lends to the impression that if I threw it against the wall, my primary concern would be what it hits on the ricochet. I'd expect the device itself to be fine. No, I haven't actually tried that, and no, I don't ever expect to. But for some reason, that's my mental standard for "how sturdy does this feel". Overall, I find myself to be very satisfied with this little device. I have a bunch of computers, phones, and other devices that could all benefit from a keyboard, but which don't need one all the time. The Rii keyboard is the kind of thing where I could buy one for each device, and it would neither cost too much nor take up too much room. It even comes in several colors, which makes it easy to tell which keyboard goes with with device. I wouldn't want to use it as the primary input device for anything like a computer, as there's no substitute for touch typing, but for occasional use, it's a whole lot better than an on-screen keyboard, and it doesn't take nearly as much physical space as a real full-size keyboard. Addendum: I see that Rii now sells a similar keyboard where they've replaced the pad on the upper right with a scroll wheel. This seems like a fantastic idea, as I use the scroll wheel quite a lot. Mind you, the two-fingered scrolling gesture on the touchpad does work just fine, but an actual wheel would certainly be welcome, and I've already ordered one of those new devices. Too bad they don't seem to have multiple colors for that one yet.

Having lived with this for a few weeks now I feel it is time to write a review. This is my only human input device for my audio playback PC. Ultimately, I will replace this with a touchscreen when I find something I like. So how is this working out for me? Pretty good. It takes a bit of getting used to. It has multiple ways to left and right mouse click. I settled on the left/right mouse buttons on the left and right side of the touch pad, there is another pair on the left side as well as the 1 finger, 2 finger touch pad trick which I have not used. I did have to really slow the mouse click speed down as I just could not double click the buttons quick enough(or tap), never had a problem with a real mouse. I have small hands; my thumbs can easily reach all the keys on each half of the keyboard. The touch pad is... well a touch pad. I am not a fan of them and this one works just about as well as any I have ever used. The directions as to how to single click/double click/scroll are printed on the pad, not an overlay to be removed by the user. I thought this clever. I set pointer speed to maximum so a single stroke across the pad moves the pointer the maximum distance. I also had to turn of windows "Enhance Pointer Precision". Wireless range is not an issue, it worked fine from over 25 feet, farther than I can see the audio system monitor. Using the shift key with characters on the left side is a bit cumbersome. I have to let go of the right side to be able to reach the left keys with my thumb. Bigger hands may not have this issue. The caps lock might be the better way… as long as you remember to caps unlock! The backlight button is very handy as I often listen to music in the dark. Easy to find in the once you remember where it is. I have not run the internal battery to empty, it lasted over a week before I plugged it back in for a charge. I would have really preferred a replaceable battery. I use the lithium batteries (not the rechargeable lithium ion) in my wireless mouse and keyboards and get a least a year’s use... this on my daily use work PC. Simpler to just replace the battery every year than finding it dead and plug it in. Another clever idea, the USB cable to recharge the device also has a USB A female port on it for the USB receiver. Waking up the device after the 3 minute inactivity time expires (blue led is off when asleep) requires only a quick press of a key brings it back to life, the function key works nicely for this without performing any real actions. The three minutes does seem a bit brief as I am always having to wake it up. I have not dropped it to determine its durability. All in all, a handy device. I can see it being even better while reclined in front of a big TV surfing the internet.

wow a lot of negative reviews maybe they got a defective unit , here is a my experience so far pair it with the NVIDIA SHIELD TV (2017) here is a list of Pros and Cons. Pros *Fantastic finish on the black version the texture is very silky like and feels great on your hands it doesn't get dirty easily *Connection was quick and painless *fast typing when I need to search for movies and what not *Responsive mouse , double-click works as expected *It automatically turns on the console with a press of a button *Black light is great it has 3 rotating settings , 1 is off , 2 medium brightness , 3 high brightness *For some people this is a Con for me its a pro the tiny constant Blue light cannot be turned off , it's always on reason I like it helps me find the remote when the lights are off , guess what . if it bothers you that much try this neat little trick turn it around or put some dark tape and voilà ! *Inexpensive , great for college students/barrack rats . okay here is why it doesn't get a full 5 stars Cons : *I don't like the instructions in the middle I would like to remove them maybe i can i haven't tried yet , make it look cleaner * That amber light every time you press a button it comes on i would like to turn it on/off but no worries with some tape i was able to fix it *No gaming use whatsoever if you are looking for a do it all this is not for you is great as a look search and navigate the web but for games is a different stories thankfully i have the shield remote so that is my go to gaming remote . so there you have it for me the Pros outweighs the cons if you are looking for an easy to use remote , cheap , reliable and a great complement to your gaming remote look no further , if you looking for a do it all gaming include it keep looking , remember is only 20 bucks give it a try if you don't like it you can always send them to me , I always recommend it to my friends .

I love this remote, i have the previous version that doesn't have the back light feature which really comes in handy. The remove is very responsive and all buttons work perfectly fine. The nice thing with the light feature is the light will come on for a second when you turn it on but then it will go out, there is a button you can select to keep the back light feature on that is really convenient. Rii is the only brand of these types of remotes i have tried but i did a lot of research prior to getting the first one, and it was the highest rated brand i could find and that rating is well deserved. Its simple to plug the nano usb into the device you want to use it on, then it simply pairs to it, there is nothing difficult about it and it works perfect, it even comes with an authenticity scratch off and QR Code you can use on the Rii website to verify that you bought an authentic Rii device. I use this for android tv boxes and i can't stress enough how much this makes live so much easier for using with an android tv box. Honestly i find it almost irritating to not have this remote to use. This comes with a rechargeable battery that simply uses a usb to micro/mini usb, and the charge last a long time, probably a month or more per charge. The first one i purchased was over a year ago, maybe closer to two years and it still works perfectly this day, i just wanted another and i wanted one The i8 is an excellent model as well and they fit in your hand so well and are so comfortable and easy to use. The mouse pad feature on these is so nice. If you feel like yours is a little slow moving or just not smooth or whatever, all you have to do is go into the settings on your tv box and i think its under keyboard but you simply adjust the pointer slider, the higher you go, the faster the mouse arrow will move on this remote. This is really a perfect device and i give it a 10 Update. 01-02-17 Remote was working great like mine Rii i8 always has as well now all the sudden my mouse will only work over half the screen. In not sure why I plugged in another brand and it works fine. Very disappointed as this is my favorite remote and company to buy from

I was going to buy a dedicated HTPC to have computer access on my 60" HDTV in my living room and some that I looked at came with a similar wireless keyboard (but without the backlight). For now though I decided to use one of my XPS laptops connected to HDMI instead of buying a new PC. Problem is that is was a real pain to go into the media cabinet and pretty much crawl on the floor to control the laptop every time I wanted to locate, start, or stop a movie, etc. I decided to order this wireless keyboard/touchpad combo instead since it was a lot less expensive then buying a new computer. I am SO glad I did and am VERY IMPRESSED with this little device! It is super easy to use and gives me complete control over my computer, even from across the room. The backlighting is also wonderful and works very well. The keys have a very nice 'click' to them and I can easily and quickly type using my thumbs. The keyboard is very comfortable to hold and use. Even my wife loved it after using it the first time and she had no problems using it either. I have a very large living room and our chairs are more then 20' away from the media cabinet and we have no issues with connectivity with the included USB receiver. The laptop is inside a media cabinet behind heavy wooden doors and there are all kinds of other pieces of equipment in there, including some that are wireless. One note though is that when I had the receiver plugged directly into the USB port I would occasionally lose connection for brief moments; however, I decided to use the USB extension cable that came with the keyboard and put the receiver closer to the front of the cabinet and in that location it never loses connection at all. The touchpad is also very nice and easy to use. I love the layout of the keys and there are multiple options for left and right click. Scrolling and multi-finger gestures work perfectly. My one and only minor compliant is that there is no auto backlight mode option (i.e. having it turn on automatically when a key is pressed and then turn off after a certain time.) The way it is you have to manually turn on the backlight by pressing a button; it then stays on for a preset amount of time after no key is pressed. Next time you want backlight, you have to press the backlight button again but nothing happens, and then you have to press a second time to turn on (it does not reset the state after it turns itself off). I wish you could just set it to turn on when a key is pressed, then turn off by itself, then on again next time a key is pressed. This is only a minor issue though and the device is so nice and so well thought out that it is not a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs a great, compact controller for a HTPC or similar device. UPDATE 11/8/2015 I found out through trial and error that once you activate the back light the first time it will come back on automatically when you press any key OTHER THAN THE BACK LIGHT KEY), even after the keyboard goes into sleep. If you press the back light key then it does turn it back off and would require a second press to turn back on. So, just press it once to turn on and then it will come back on by itself when you press a key. Note, if you turn the power switch off you'll have to turn back light on again when to first turn the keyboard back on. I've upped my rating to 5 stars now as it's perfect for me. Still have no issues at all and still on my initial charge. Still love it!!

EDIT @ Bottom :) Background for Purchase: Have you ever been tempted to buy something that just broke but didn't mind so much cause it fit so well into functionality???? Well, that's me. Have to start at what I have already owned and enjoyed and was frustrated that it only lasted from January to April 2014. Had received a Hausbell ® Mini H7 2.4GHz for Christmas that came in a generic box with a Hausbell sticker on the side, and not Hausbell printing on the touchpad or anywhere except on the white label affixed to the box. I'm saying this as many a similar products are in the Amazon Marketplace that have varying price points and user reviews up and down the 1 ~ 5 Star range. (got an Image up if you care to poke around). This item is new and was not easily found unless looking specifically for Rii. (Perhaps this will change soon). Packaging: My product came in a Rii Box with a thank you slip, directions, USB charge cable and the device itself. I stress the packaging for a reason. What you purchase now as opposed to what is available a year from now may differ.. Heck I was so cautious I bought the black unit cause the kickin colored devices were not reviewed at the time and ALSO came from a different seller. Sold By: Mine came from Yes Digi. and at this moment has: 4.8 stars over the past 12 months (866 ratings) Currently the Black is being sold by FASDEAL: 4.7 stars over the past 12 months (1,219 ratings) The cool colors I wanted to test drive G/B are Amexs: 4.8 stars over the past 12 months (1,044 ratings) Now the Device: The feel is slippery compared to the other mini I used, and the grip pads on the back are no so much.. EVERYBODY knows that a remote holds best to sloped arm rests, pets, pillows, cute baby faces with the button side down for grip; am I right?!!! Yet those grips on the Rii are lacking sticktum, so it's gonna be button side down once again.. sigh.... The special keys are not CYAN as pictured in the Amazon Photos. Dark Blue and hard to see. The Rii is lighter than the defunct Hausbell ( and it's battery is out) -2 star for look and feel and weight. But dab bum it.. if it last.. and last it will EARN my 5 star for keeping to the design and ease of use and recharge-ability... and ohh If I could only write the words of how much I depended on the mini wireless device as it JUST FITS MY LIFESTYLE.. So just LIVE and Let me Live. Rating:TBD could be a 5, might be a dog. only longevity will tell the tale. I feel the need to update this if it makes it to November. That way it will see plenty of use and be redi for the next hysterical, Black Friday crowd. Till then, this is a solid 3. Shame on me for felling burned by the other guys device, but now my trust has to be earned.. so suck it up Rii... Prove your device is superior and last as long as my 1970 Technics Tuner. EDIT: If your mini keyboard device all of a sudden does not work, yet is detected by PC, etc; AND your button mashes light up on the mini.. yet no function is represented on the connected device.. THEN.. While holding in Both the FN and RF (F1) buttons wait till the far left indicator blinks. Confirm a connection; use the touchpad, mash enter, dance around the house.. Then you can afford to buy the New Crazy Colored Rii's Jury's still out.. this tidbit was not in the trouble shooting tips. So there.. keep the 3 till November.

Really love this little thing. I watch movies and tv shows by hooking my computer up to my TV and watching something like netflix. I also use my computer to watch youtube videos, spotify, etc, and I got tired of having a big (even though it was a a "mini" keyboard and mouse) lying around my living room. Big and clunky. So, I started my search for something compact, with a mouse/keyboard combo and with a backlight so I could see in the dark. This tool will be my new all purpose remote for my main viewing area. In my search, I came across many versions of this same remote. I read through all of them, watched a few video reviews, and settled on this one. Affordable, seemingly durable, and functional. When it came in the mail, I opened it immediately, pulled out the USB adapter for the computer, plugged it in, and turned this bad dude on. Ready to go with what seemed to be a semi-full battery. Started using it right away. Using it on a mac platform, I tested all the buttons and realized that some of them do nothing, or at least, nothing that I can tell what its doing so far (again, on MacOS only, havent tested on Windows or Linux). The buttons that do not do anything are the ones to the right of the touchpad (sans the right click button, that works). A couple to the left of the touchpad do not work either. I tried using 3rd party software to register the buttons to do custom commands/anything at all, and it doesn't even recognize these as buttons when they're being pressed. All this is no big deal to me, as they had no bearing on why I purchased the device, but I thought it should be mentioned. All in all, I dig this thing. Backlight is good, and can be turned off when not needed (very easily). Single click on the touchpad can be annoying, I just use the mouse buttons, but that can be disabled easily also. Lots of cool little things I've yet to explore. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for something/needing something like this, as I did.

This device seems to work fine with my windows laptop but not at all with my nvidia shield pro. The shied is a high end android tv box purchased new about 2 months ago. I've been using it with an a old full sized wireless logitech keyboard and mouse set. The shield works fine with logitech. While this set works well it's full size and a pain to use on a couch. So I looked around and this seemed to fit the bill. How wrong I am. I charged the rii overnight and tried it this morning. Some of the keys work, some don't do what they indicate what they should and some do nothing at all. The circled keys either don't do anything at all or don't do what they indicate they should. For instance the home key does nothing. Not only do they not function properly they can't be mapped to do something useful. The build quality is pretty good. The keys feel good. I got the blue one and it looks nice. Unfortunately there are some duel function keys. They are printed with dark blue ink on black keys. See the problem. Actually I can't see the problem cause I can see the printed icons. To be easily visible they need to printed in contrasting color. It really doesn't matter, as, what ever they are supposed to do they don't. So I tried remapping some of the keys. Guess what. To do that I have to root my tv box. Not a big deal normally but in this case doing so I would loose some of the functionality is part of the reason why I picked the shield specifically. Here's the thing I don't understand. Who is this made for? Sure not a desktop computer. Those have keyboards and mice. I have a nice mechanical keyboard on mine. The wireless set I mentioned earlier is over ten years old. Is the rii made for laptops? surely not. Is it made for phones and or tablets? I don't think so. That leaves us with smart TV's and or TV boxes like android, firestick, apple tv, roku. This RII I8+ upgraded version is clearly made for MS Windows. All the features and buttons work well with windows from my own testing. On the other hand almost none of them work with android tv. And it has a hard time with firestick. I should have seen that as a warning sign since firestick's OS is a version of android. I don't think RII understand who their customers are. I am returning this and getting the Ipazzport. From what I have been reading tonight the Ipazzport is of lower quality in every respect, but, it functions properly and is made specifically to work with set top boxes. Meaning all the buttons function and do what they are supposed to do in android.

Works great on my devices with a USB port, especially Android TV Box. Good feel and well laid out.

I received the product today..here are my initial impression about the product The build quality: It is perfectly built,feels very handy and has a soft feel,light weight nice grip,this model now comes with micro usb not usb 2.0 which is great Connectivity: There is a receiver compartment at the back,just plug nd play it's that simple the range is good and very responsive the no lag in the operation Keys and touchpad: Keys are backlight and has 2 step brightness,keys are soft and easy to press feels good and the touchpad is super responsive great touchpad. The device goes into sleep mode if not used for about 3min and wake up by pressing any key,a good feature to save battery... speaking of battery it has an inbuilt battery. My initial impression is great about this device

Ahora sí le doy 5 estrellas. Cuando recién llegó el teclado, lo conecté a mi Smart TV Samsung y NO funcionó en ninguna de las apps. Con el explorador sí, pero solamente. Pensé que era el teclado y le dí una calificación mas baja. Sin embargo, lo conecté a otro smart tv (LG) y funcionó PERFECTAMENTE, en todas las apps, con todos los botones, luz, y demás atributos que tiene el teclado Rii Mini I8+. Cabe mencionar que primero lo califiqué bajo porque pensé que hacía falta que tuviera drives que se pudieran descargar por internet, pero ahora me doy cuenta que es el TV Samsung que no funciona bien y no el teclado. Conecté otro teclado con cable al puerto USB y lo mismo, no funciona con las apps. El mismo teclado alambrico funciona en todos lados menos en la Samsung tv. Por lo que llegué a la conclusion de que es la tv y NO el Rii Mini I8+. Ahora estoy feliz con el teclado ergonómico y ligero. Disculpas para los de RiiTek, he corregido esta reseña. **I first gave it a lower evaluation. When it arrived I connected the keyboard right away to my Smart tv Samsung, and it did not work properly, it worked with the internet but not with any of the apps. I was disappointed and came right away and expressed my frustration evaluating the product poorly. The next day I connect the Rii Mini I8+ to my other smart tv LG, and voila! it worked PERFECTLY, in all of its functions and with all apps and menus. The range was incredible I was able to use the keyboard even at 15 meters from the tv (and around the wall).. I then went back to my Samsung and plugged a cable USB keyboard, and that's when I noticed IT IS NOT The Rii Mini I8+ keyboard it is the TV that simply does not allow you to add a keyboard for certain functions. I know give this compact and functional keyboard a 5 star and a "10" (and apologies) to the RiiTek group... :D
