Feels well built works well with LG TV and Android phone
It feels ,surprisingly well mae with reassuring clicks when pressing keys. Instructions are minimal but enough to get started. The dongle in the battery case at the back plugs into USB port on tv so I can use smart tv browser, enter passwords etc. It can navigate Netflix etc but haven't figure which woul be Back button, but better off using TV remote control anyway. I don't think dongle is USB. It has built-in bluetooth and connected to my Androi phone first time. Keyboard is small so I two-finger type. CTRL and bottom right lights up keyboard well. Also got a hany scroll bottom. Touch pa mimics left an right buttons; It also has two buttons at top for left an right mouse which you can accidentally touch.I can cast my phone onto tv and wanted to use keypad to control that and use photo and video editing apps. However. experience shows apps are designed for touch interface on phone and whilst I can use the the keyboard's touchpad (which works fine) it is better to use the phone and switch attention to TV when I want to. However, if I was typing a document and casting that to screen keyboard would be OK.

Everything I Wanted and More
I bought this initially based on a review which said it was pretty decent for use with the Steam Deck. They were right! This thing works flawlessly with my Deck, i don't bother with the transmitter either as the bluetooth works so well. I used this to help me get my emulators and retro games all set up properly, and continue to use it all the time.The battery life seems pretty decent. No issues here. It has a built-in power save/sleep function which clearly helps it a lot. Some people describe this as a pain, but, the alternative would be the device staying perpetually "on" and i bet the same people would then be complaining here about it needing too many charges. To wake from sleep press any button and it will automatically reconnect to the device (quickly too).The layout of the device is really efficient:- the scroll wheel feels great and works like a charm.- the left and right shoulder buttons act as left and right mouse clicks (my preferred way of using the deck is holding it like a controller, using these shoulder buttons with index fingers, whilst thumbs use the touch pad).- the touch screen/pad is responsive, and you can scroll a lot more quickly and accurately with this if you practise (and with a quick button combo you can increase sensivity).- You will quickly develop muscle memory with this; i can now type pretty well and control streams without even thinking.Other places this controller has shined for me:- taking it to social gatherings so i can quickly get Steam party games set up (like jackbox).- couch/bed streaming - I actually use this with my desktop PC all the time, so i can sit back and relax in bed whilst controlling series/films etc.The tiniest of negative points:You won't be able to tell from your connected device how much battery this thing has left, it seems to always say 99% when i check on my PC or Deck. However, i hear this is quite a normal issue with all sorts devices simply not supporting this feature.

Very good but isn’t Bluetooth compatible with PS5.
I bought this device mainly for text input on PlayStation 5 and while it does work using the 2.4G wireless dongle it is not compatible via Bluetooth.The touchpad, media keys and scroll wheel are not functional on PS5 either but the direction keys, OK button and all of the text keys work perfectly.So that’s the bad news, ready for the good news?When paired with a compatible device this is a seriously good mini keyboard. The touchpad is accurate and responsive, the scroll wheel is very useful and the text input is spot on (no duplicate letters or latency issues so far).The backlight has one colour (white) and two brightness settings (on and off) which may turn off the “RGB everything!” crowd but it does the job.The auto sleep function is great for conserving the battery, you get 9 hours with the backlight always on but auto sleep helps extend that.The battery is a removable 700mAh 3.7V 2.59Wh Li-ion. Which is great because you can buy a spare if needed but more importantly you can replace it if it fails in the future.Overall, apart from the Bluetooth compatibility issues with PS5, this is a great mini keyboard for the price (I paid £16.59) and while it has fewer features than some similarly priced options it has them beat on the “keep it simple, stupid” front.

Great but could be improved
Sensitivity of the touch pad could be better as it's not super accurate like a modern phone touch screen or laptop touch pad, and I'd like a mouse button under the touch pad so I can use one handed. Some of the keys are in different places to what I'm familiar with, like the apostrophe symbol. Apart from all that, it's a great device that turns my TV into a media PC when paired with my laptop. It goes to sleep after a few minutes, but that's probably a good thing to save battery life. You can easily switch it off and on to wake it up. The red scroll wheel is really useful and works well. Volume control is also useful. The shoulder buttons act as left and right mouse buttons. The d-pad is like the arrow keys on a keyboard. I haven't tried Bluetooth, I just used the USB dongle and it worked straight away on a Linux computer with no need to download any drivers.

Simple, cheap, and brilliant!
I really like this little device. For the price, the value is outstanding. It does everything you'd expect a keyboard with "touch mouse" to do. It's small but nicely made with smooth action "real" buttons (not just a plastic sheet). Response is immediate and positive.There are instructions included, which are comprehensive. I'd just mention that first you need to remember to insert the USB receiver dongle into your PC. (No, it isn't missing - it's in the compartment on the back of the keyboard next to the battery).
