 No love for Android Devices Dec 30, 2010
By kugreg
The device worked fine for my Windows 7 Laptop, unfortunately, I bought it to use on my Sprint Galaxy Tablet. The box and the RiiTek website both say it works with Android, but every Android device I tried it on, it would not work... and that was after having to go to the website to find a driver that to this day requires authentication off the internet that fails to run no matter how good your internet connection is.
Best to leave this one alone if you are looking for a good Android Bluetooth Keyboard. I will be returning mine shortly.

 just what I wanted Jan 12, 2011
By netmand
There are two versions of this product. I made sure I bought the one that is bluetooth, the other works via a wireless frequency (and is generally less costly in price) but doesn't use the bluetooth protocols. I was able to connect this to my iMac (not using the included fob) in less than a minute. The keys are responsive and after some mouse sensitivity adjustments on the iMac, the track pad works well too.
I expected some limitations since the keyboard is a very compact layout; The most important limitation to note is that the "windows" key stroke is done via the Fn-Ctrl key stroke, which makes it impossible if you need to use key stroke combinations with the windows key, such as windows-M to minimize all windows (or Apple-Q to quit programs on Macs as the windows key is usually mapped to apple key on macs). You can almost get used to the keyboard enough to type without looking. The keys are raised enough to distinguish between them by touch, mouse buttons and arrow pad are distinctly different by touch from the keyboard. Enter and Fn key is two-key width and Space bar is three-key width; easy to distiguish by touch. The only thing that trips me up is the Enter key, on a normal keyboard it's located on the row with L, but in this compact layout it's located in the row with M. The arrow pad is in a great location right under the track pad, makes navigating around easy. While the left mouse button is right under the left side of the track pad, click-dragging is a bit awkward. It makes me wish they placed an additonal left mouse button where the Fn key is.
I do not use this frequently, it's connected to a computer in my kitchen that is usually just showing eyeTV. I wanted a tiny keyboard that I can just velcro to the back of the iMac; this product fills the niche well. whenever I need to jump onto a web browser and look up something quickly it's nice to be able to do this without taking out some bulky keyboard and mouse and needing a table to place it on. It comes with a laser pointer for presentations, I use it to play with the cat.
I usually leave it on and plugged into the USB cable that comes with it to keep it fully charged. Sometimes I leave it unplugged but have never left it unplugged for more than a day, so I've never had the device lose battery power yet. The box says standby time is 500-700 hours, I haven't confirmed this. I have left it unplugged for multiple days but turned it off on those occasions. Turning it back on (or picking it up after not using it for a while) requires the bluetooth to resync (takes a few seconds), but so far I've never had to go through the pairing process after the first.
The product is very well packaged, came with a well-written and illustrated user's manual and driver mini-CD. I used neither pairing it with my iMac. Dimensions: 151x59x12.5mm / 6"x2.4"x0.5" Weight: 104g. Feels solid in my hand. As far as dropping durability, I wouldn't be as careless as I would with a TV remote. I haven't dropped my Rii mini wireless keyboard yet. The keyboard is backlit, which is activated via Fn-F1 keystroke, not too hard to remember and feel for those times you need to turn on backlighting in a dark room. I haven't tested the limits of the wireless range, but it works flawlessly in my range of usage of 1-8 feet.

 Great keyboard for the price Jan 01, 2012
By Doug B.
This keyboard has some great features. It was a bit of a pain to get paired with my Droid Bionic. The instructions were misleading. If you're the type who never reads the directions, you'll have better luck getting it paired without difficulty. (For those who are curious, you don't install the software that came on the CD for new phones.). Overall, I really like the device and would recommend it for use with Webtop or HTPC on your Droid devices. I find the trackpad to be very useful, however the placement of the mouse buttons makes it a tiny bit awkward to use when dragging and dropping. I personally prefer the candybar style of this device over the Logitech DiNova Mini and the Lenovo Mini. No complaints so far (other than the worthless instructions). Although it would be nice to have a battery charge indicator, I have charged mine enough to use in less than 15 minutes or so.

Excelent value and quality Sep 26, 2011
By K1
I connect my laptop to my TV in the bedroom. this is an amazin toy if you dont wanna type too much. I dont need too get up and touch anything. the price is very good. I didnt see the USB adapter at first so I had to buy it alone for $44 from best buy. (until I found the one attach to the keyboard and returned the one that I got from best buy).
I didnt use it for any other device, so I dont know if it's compatible or not! but there is a CD included in the box that has a folder for Android/Windows phone/iPhone.
I recommend this product

 Does not work on Photon Phone Sep 09, 2011
By Fred
For some reason the software for Android based phones does not work on Sprint's Photon phone. Very disappointing. I have not been able to find a work around.
