HB305-4B

I have had two otehr simoilar ARTEK keyboards, but neither of them were as NICE as this one. The first one I had, wouldn't connect to my desktop, and the company graciously replaced it right away. No complaint at all with the company! They are great! The second one had been working out fine, but was not backlit, and that is kind of a must for me, since I do a lot of writing in bed, Even though I am a writer, I humbly have to admit...I never learned to type without having to look at the keyboard. And if it's the middle of the night, I really don't want to have overhead or even desk top lamps on. I am notorious for eating and drinking at my desk, I am at it most of the day and a lot of nights. SO, yeah, it happened. I spilled a full glass of soda right onto my desk, and it tidalwaved directly onto my keyboard as if it were targeted. I'm not a gamer, but if it had BEEN a game, I won. Or lost, I'm not sure how that would score. But, here's the crazy part...IT STILL WORKS, even after I ran it under cool water for a couple minutes! But I can't imagine that will last long, so I ordered this one. It is VERY nice! I love the keys strokes, the backlight is quite subtle (I do hope it doesn't dim as it ages, or it won't get through the keys) and the touchpad is wonderfully responsive. I seem to have a negative affect on electronics, they often malfunction right out of the box, and can't wear electric watches. SO it's always a suspence when trying new things, because somethines, they just don't work for me. But THIS, I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. It feels good, it is also weighted and doesn't slide around on the desktop. The screen is spacious, and immediately responsive. I think it likes me. I looked at keyboards in all price ranges, and to honest, I don't understand how one can be this range, while another, with the same feature, can be almost $200. Maybe those are for people with much better skills than mine, but this feels as nice, or nicer than the $179 Logitech I had, that didn't work for me. This one seems to be somewhat wider as well, and I like that. I'm not one of those people who thirst for smaller and smaller devices. I'm still waiting for the phones with 23 inch screens to come out. Buy this keyboard! Better yet, buy a brand new one of your own, I'm keeping this one!

Update 6-21-25 I ordered another one of these keyboards as it stopped taking a charge, which I honestly believe is my own fault as I had plugged it into a 100w usb-c PD charger a few times and I think I may have unintentionally damaged it myself. Now these do have a 2 year warranty which it was still under and I'm sure they would have replaced it under that warranty, but my previous positive experience with them replacing it and the amount of daily use it has undergone and performed flawlessly for the pat 2 years, I had no issues purchasing it again, as like I said, I think I'm the one who broke it. I would say that these are built rock solid and very high quality. They keys feel good and the trackpad works flawlessly. This is the only brand I will buy because I know It is well built and will last. As I stated earlier, I have used this daily for almost 2 years without any issues at all. 100 percent recommended. 2-7-24 Update I have to upgrade Artech to 6 stars due to their customer service. I had a key come off from the lower mouse , which is no big deal as you can usually just pop them back on. In this case , one of the tabs on the rear of the key were broken and It would not reattach and stay on the keyboard. I reached out to the seller to see If I could just buy or get just a replacement key to reattach to the keyboard and they offered to send me a complete replacement, which they didn't have to do. They answered promptly and shipped one out within days. My original review still stands on the quality build and overall best BT keyboard I have bought. I just wanted to update that their customer service is just as good as their products and it was appreciated. 6 stars for Artech. I currently have a Fintie brand BT keyboard which is fine but wanted something wider to fit better on my lap as that is where I use it mostly. I needed a touchpad which seems to be kind of hard to find on BT keyboards. Decided to go with this one as there wasn't much else to choose from and the price point was fair. I was actually quite suprised on the build quality of the keyboard. It is solid and all the keys have a nice feel to them. Bluetooth setup was quick and easy and it fits in my lap perfectly. The touchpad works great also. I really wasn't expecting much from a keyboard at this price but it really blew away my expectations. It's a nice quality , solid built keyboard and I'm glad I went ahead and purchased it. I'd recommend it personally If your looking for a BT keyboard with touchpad.

So, I purchased this keyboard in January 2023 because I needed an input device that would allow me to use my laptop as an additional monitor without it being in my lap, or on the desk, partially blocking the view of my desktop monitor. I'm also one of those (rare?) people that actually prefers a touchpad instead of a trackball or mouse. And, like my laptop, the keyboard had to be backlit and include a 10-key number pad. In short, I wanted an input device that duplicated my laptop's keyboard layout and features without the monitor! Now, I'd have thought such a device would be fairly easy to find. I was wrong. It turns out wireless keyboards with a built-in trackpad is something of a niche market -- let alone one with a number pad! So, when I discovered Arteck it was a "Eureka" moment! Unfortunately, the trackpad is on the right side of the keyboard instead of the bottom, so, no number pad. Still, the keys are standard size, so my fingers don't feel cramped typing on it, and the trackpad and buttons are also a decent size, which is remarkable given the keyboard's compact footprint. There are also "feature" buttons to control volume, brightness, pause/play, forward/rewind, window selection, and projection, that are cool because they don't require pressing the 'Fn' key when using them (as my laptop does), which is very efficient. Lastly, the backlit key feature has a Hi/Lo setting, like my laptop, and the seven color selection is more fun than I thought it would be. I was used to the one bright white color on my laptop, but I've already cycled through a few of the colors on the Artech. I'm currently using purple, which reminds me of a black light, and looks really cool in dim lighting. The keyboard layout did take some getting used to, since I was used to my laptop's keyboard, but in a very short while it's become quite comfortable, even preferable in some ways. That said, a couple of weeks ago, it inexplicably stopped working, and I was beside myself! At the time, the battery on one of my earbuds was no longer holding a charge and needed to be replaced, or I needed to buy new earbuds, so, I attributed the same issue to my keyboard because the charge light was red and wasn't connecting to my computer -- even with a USB cable. I'd only had the keyboard for about nine months and now it was useless. I thought about replacing the battery, which I'd planned to do with my earbud, but I couldn't find a repair guide, so I tossed it in the closet and sulked until I figured out whether I wanted to buy another one or something different. Eventually, I went back to read the reviews to see if anyone else had the problem I was having and sure enough there were 26 reviews with the same or similar. The first review I saw was by a purchaser named Mike who said his died, but it could be fixed. After reading the review, I discovered he tried re-pairing it with his computer and it suddenly worked. So, I went into the settings on my laptop and discovered the keyboard was no longer there; I re-paired the keyboard and now it works! Lesson learned; it pays to read through the reviews. All in all, it really is a great wireless keyboard, and I've become somewhat addicted to using it. the last couple of weeks weren't miserable, but it was more than annoying and I really missed its functionality in my daily usage at home. The ghosting of its pairing with my computer is my only real complaint because it caused so much frustration. Other than that, I'm all smiles. Thank you, Mike!

Update 10/24: Still going strong. Charge still lasts a couple of weeks of daily usage, sometimes very heavy usage, and always with backlight enabled. Have only had two instances where it lost pairing (died) and had to be re-paired with the PC. Still 5 stars! Update: It's been a few months and everything is working much better now. I did upgrade my PC's wifi/bluetooth and don't have any range/interference issues any longer, so those related issues aren't the keyboard's fault. Overall this keyboard is much better than any of the Logitech keyboards I've used for the same purpose, including the K480 Bluetooth keyboard. The Arteck keys are much nicer than the any of the Logitech keys, and it's way less bulky. Charge time is slow but the battery lasts a long time, so that's not really a negative. Changing my rating to 5 stars. ----------------------------------------------------------- I have been using this keyboard for a few weeks now, and do like it overall, but there are a few issues I have with it. It has even become completely unresponsive to the point I thought it had died, but I managed to fix it and am using it now as I type this review. Battery life overall has been very good, lasting several weeks so far with about 15 hours of use per week. * Keyboard sleeps too soon at times. Not sure why it does this, but it has stopped accepting input while I was typing a few times which is very irritating. I believe this is a range/interference issue, so be sure to stay within 15ft of the connected device. I use it at the edge of this range, and experience this occasionally. * Touchpad becomes very laggy at times. Same as above, this seems to be a range/interference issue. * Touchpad stops emulating mouse clicks when tapping the touchpad. Press 'Fn + Right Option' keys to re-enable the behavior. * Becomes completely unresponsive (dies) for no reason that one can immediately discern. The keyboard just stops working completely. Powering it off and back on would light the backlight for ~3 seconds and nothing else. No amount of power-cycling or key pressing would revive it. I was very frustrated with it and had resigned to having to request warranty replacement, but gave it one last try today. I pressed 'Fn + C' to try re-pairing to the PC, and it lit up! It turns out it had simply lost pairing with my PC! Be sure to do this if yours suddenly becomes unresponsive (including "dead" battery). If you can tolerate these issues this is a good keyboard overall.

I've had this keyboard for 2 years now and really love the build quality, functionality, compatibility, customizability, backlighting, built-in trackpad/touchpad, usb-c charging and battery life. This is my go-to keyboard-trackpad for my home mac mini with 4K TV as display monitor. A year prior, I have been using this keyboard on a Windows PC without any issues. I never tried using this keyboard on my Google TV but per the Arteck user manual, it is also compatible with Android OS. It is versatile for office, home entertainment and casual gaming use due to the built-in multiple gesture trackpad. What I really love about this keyboard-trackpad is the 7 colors backlighting which is selectable/customizable and can cycle through- off/on and two levels of brightness. No more fumbling in the dark or turning on a virtual keyboard. With the backlight at level 1 brightness, I only have to recharge the keyboard-trackpad about once a month with 3 hours of daily use. I can even use it while tethered to the usb-c charging cable. What surprised me is the after-sales support that came with this under $50 keyboard-trackpad. There are actual people behind the support team at Arteck. I did not even have high hopes when I emailed them about my issue but got an answer within a day and resolved within 3 days.

This is not the first time I have gotten this keyboard. I love it so much that I've gifted it to several friends. It is also my go to replacement as I lose mine or accidentally break it frequently. It has all the features I want: it's wireless (blue tooth), rechargeable, and backlit!! Not just any backlight, mind you, but it offers aa choice of seven colors in two levels of brightness. Though sleek it is durable. Avoid sitting on it or putting it in an over-stuffed bag. I have learned these actions may very well be detrimental to the keyboard's well being.

I love this keyboard. Backlighting is great, key touch and touch screen work flawlessly. It's rugged, compact, and light. There is an annoying lag between re-activation and connection. About 2 seconds. I know, doesn't sound like much. But when you are used to always being connected after booting up, it is annoying. The Logitech keyboard that it replaced never had any reconnect lag. But honestly, I could live with this because I like the board. What kills it for me is that it loses connection altogether on a random basis. It will work find for a time, and then in the middle of a session, it will lose connection. I have to go back and start the paring process all over again. If I plug in my Logitech board, it pairs immediately with no effort on my part. And it is rock solid with zero lag.

I am writing this review on this right now. As a keyboard, this is really quite good. It doesn't feel flimsy at all, it has a good weight to it. Nice key travel, it feels very nice. I think this keyboard feels better than a much more expensive Apple magic keyboard. The bluetooth works perfectly and the backlighting is great. I plan to grab another one without the touchpad for travel. The touchpad is good to have but is pretty limited. It's basically a mouse that emulates key combinations for the zoom and it emulates a scroll wheel when two finger scrolling. Scrolling slowly is pretty difficult, it seems to require some velocity when swiping to emit a scroll event. It feels like a touchpad from an old laptop but as big as modern ones. I wish it was detected as a trackpad and not a mouse, so that it could use true gestures. Oh well, for the price I cannot complain at all. Battery life seems good too. I haven't charged it since I got it about five weeks ago. In summary, excellent keyboard with a serviceable touchpad. The keyboard itself feels like a really high quality laptop keyboard. Certainly better than modern macbooks! This is closer in feel to an older thinkpad keyboard, which is pretty high praise in my opinion.

I have a PC in my living room and need a wireless keyboard with a built-in touchpad to control it effectively. For 5+ years I've been using the Logitech K400(+) and, while it did it's job, I never found it that comfortable to use, with average build quality and irritating issues like its signal sometimes dropping out and its touchpad being very imprecise. I spent the better part of a year looking for a premium replacement to the K400 and found that most of the good options from other providers (such as the K83 from Corsair and Logitech's own K830) are either incredibly difficult to find for already high list prices (£100+) or have been discontinued completely. Eventually, however, I started searching through non-premium keyboards and was pleased to find this one from Arteck which had great reviews and decided to buy one. Long story short I'm incredibly pleased: the keyboard is very comfortable to use - unlike the K400 where each key is closer together than on a regular keyboard, the Arteck has standard key spacing and that, plus the very tactile, clicky keys makes the keyboard incredibly comfortable to type on. The touchpad, too, is much more responsive and smooth to use, with big left and right click buttons below it that also feel great to press. And there's a backlight with adjustable colours for each key, too - which makes the keyboard a bit easier to use in a darkened room than the K400 or other unlit keyboards would be. Another minor - but nice - touch - is the shape of the keys - letter and number keys are slightly concave and function/modifyer keys (like control/alt/arrow keys) are slightly convex - helping you find your way around the keyboard more easily while touch-typing. The build quality is great: very little flex to the housing and each key and button is completely fixed in its socket, unlike the k400 which I found to have both of these issues. The keyboard connects over standard bluetooth and I've been exclusively using it on a Windows 11 PC with a motherboard based bluetooth antenna - this has meant I've had a flawless connection since I started using it and no issues with dropping signal or lag - but I guess your milage could vary based on your setup. Overall, I'd highly recommend this keyboard: for me it was a fantastic upgrade from the K400 - which had just enough drawbacks to frustrate me using it everday - and I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it as a keyboard for a media PC, tablet, nintendo switch, etc - provided their bluetooth connectivity is stable enough.

This bluetooth keyboard will not pair with any computer. It is a total waste of money. Despite stating it has a 2 year warranty, Arteck just brazenly refuse to honour the warranty.

Got this keyboard over a month ago, to replace my logitech k400+ (which still works but has been adopted). The arctek keyboard works really well! keyboard is a bit more spacious, and the track pad works better. love the backlighting and, contrary other comments, I haven't had to charge it since the initial charge (always charge new li batteries to full before using). Been using it for typing schoolwork and it is super comfy and no delay at all with the bluetooth. It also has allowed me to access a phone that had lost most of it's screen usability when the screen cracked. By connecting the keyboard, I am able to use a cursor on the phone screen and have full use of that phone again! Wonderful keyboard at a competitive price! and delivery was much faster than anticipated!

Works flawlessly. Keyboard feels good - in fact the keys feel a bit better than my MB Pro's keyboard, yikes ! :-) The trackpad is a little less silky (compared to my MacBook pro trackpad) but I soon got used to it. It supports dual finger gestures (like pinch and scroll and pan) but doesn't seem to work with 3 finger ones. Seem to have very good battery life and charges quickly. One very minor downside is that unlike another BT keyboard (without a trackpad built in) that I have, and several others that I have seen, it only seems to have 1 'pairing configuration' - on the other BT keyboard I have, you can switch it between 3 different host pairings by pressing the 'fn' key with (q or w or e). I don't know if it was just in my case, but there was no manual (or qr code) with it, and at first I couldn't find a pairing button ( it is fn+c - there is a inverted Bluetooth symbol on it, duh'oh), but I the manual easily online. The manual is needed, because it describes the feature modes of the backlighting and trackpad, which aren't obvious, but I guess fiddling about with the fn key and the other keys marked with a inversed symbol could get you there. Pleased with it, so buying another one. Looks like I'll have a few wired keyboards to go to e-waste or gumtree or whatever, now. EDIT: So the second one arrived. It did come with manual and a cable. Additionally the trackpad was smoother and more matt - I then realised there was a protection film on the pad of the first one, which I subsequently removed and now feels really good - du'oh !
