Rii mini X1,
In experimenting with different remote options for my Home Theater PC, I discovered this little gem. Though this (Rii RT-MWK01 X1 RF mini USB keyboard) is the entry level version of the line, and can be found for around 10 dollars, I thought it would be sufficient to compare with other remote options. Though a full sized keyboard is, of course, easiest to use, this little guy plugged in, typed, scrolled and clicked with ease and sits at home among my other AV remotes. It even works great with my Smart TV.
Other so-called universal and media center remotes just didn't seem to integrate as well with the PC platform as this little guy. The keys are hard plastic, which I like, and respond quickly without having to press too hard or at some weird angle like some of the other, soft key, remotes. Response time between the keyboard and mouse tracking functions and the HT display are virtually seamless. The small mouse touch-pad takes a little practice to work with precision, but you should expect that for the small footprint, and it is more than a fair trade-off.
This is easily my favorite remote for my HTPC and Smart TV. The Rii mini v3 adds back-lighting and a laser pointer for just 5-10 dollars more, but I really haven't found the need to upgrade to these options as I am quite comfortable with the X1. I would recommend anyone to grab one of these guys, whether for your HTPC, Smart TV, Multi-media presentations or notebook device. You'll be glad you did.Read full review

Bad power switch
Same problem I had with my previous one of the same brand and type - power sliding switch keeps falling off. Now I have to use a little screwdriver to turn it off/on. Eventually as my previous one the switch will become completely inoperable.
Bottom line:
Good keyboard for it's price but too fragile. Next time I'll buy a more expensive one with better power switch and more sustainable in my working environment.Read full review

Sensitive Touchpad, Good Product
Be aware, the touchpad is sensitive! You can click the mouse by tapping on the touchpad but I find I frequently "click" when I am just trying to move the mouse pointer around my screen. A feature to turn this off or change the sensitivity would be nice. Overall, I really like this keyboard/touchpad.Read full review

A 'Must Have' keyboard for all your portable computing needs
I love the small size and large battery capacity of this keyboard. The keys are easy to navigate and have plenty of additional special keys to make typing commands simpler. The device lasts for days on a single charge thanks to the automatic power saving technology. Just plug in the Bluetooth dongle into whatever device you want to control and start typing. The keyboard connects and becomes a wonderful input device along with the built-in touchpad. You don't need a mouse because the keyboard has a small touchpad on the right side. I love these keyboards for controlling a smartphone, TV, tablet or other electronic product that needs commands typed but only gives you a built-in keypad. This keyboard makes typing so much easier for those devices. Read full review

Excellent palm sized Media keyboard
Best bang for your buck all in one keyboard for your raspberry pi. It can even connect to other devices, my girlfriend uses it on the Ps3 all the time. It's pretty much plug and use. Comes with a USB to connect with that has a little convenient storage spot on the keypad itself making it harder to misplace. The only thing to note is that this specific version is not Backlit.

Comparing to others
Item works quite well, My only issue is courser control ( Mouse ) .
Sometimes too sensitive and sometimes the opposite .
In other words too many times, when I want to slide mouse up to a different "TAB" on browser, it takes command as if I
had double clicked ........So I have to set it up with certain player, that allowed more commands without the need of mouse........I have used many types.......( Some much more cost or even less cost )
Therefore I am quite familiar with them.......Even Infrared transmitters .......But prefer RF ( Wireless ) due to " line of site "
But the cost .......overall better since I use HDMI interface.
Didn't notice there are back light models ??? That was my lack of observation.
Thank you. Read full review

Almost fanstastic
This little keyboard/touch-pad combo is cheap and useful. Easy, Plug and Play, design with decent range and good touch-pad response. My only grip is the button mapping is slightly off compared to the labels on the keypad. I have found a couple of the keys are "switch" between what is labeled on the device and what appears onscreen. This all are the special characters, but it did take me some trial and error to discover the @ symbol was where the colon symbol was labeled and vise versa. However for the price it well worth having to memorize a few changes to the key mapping. Still a great buy. Would give it Five stars if it wasn't for the few issues with the keys.Read full review

Rii X1 Mini 2.4GHz Black Wireless Keyboard with Mouse Touchpad Remote Control
This mini keyboard is well designed and seems to function OK. I noted a couple of issues:
Touch pad is very sensitive
Unit powers down after a couple of minutes of inactivity. would be nice to be able to set the power down timer to a more friendly (longer) setting.
Otherwise great value for the money.Read full review

Easy to connect and use
I was delivered and working within 15 minutes. It is exactly what I needed for my office. It feels a lot like texting and the keyboard takes some adjustment to memorize the shortcuts. It is compact and the mousepad is an extra bonus. 5/5 from me.Read full review

As little as needed, its battery holds a lot, generally it is a very reliable and convenient mini keyboard.
Very good quality, practical, has everything you need and is very handy.
