No backlight. Useless for HTPC/meda in the dark. Good deal if only using in day/lit rooms.

Genuine Rii with UK layout, LED backlit, and battery lasts a long time. The seller I bought from no longer on ebay, but is similar to this one on Amazon. Note the backlight button just below the play button.

it's coming up 8.99 for me added price for handling...

23 Nov 161#10
Agreed... If you add one more item for £0.01p which makes the total above £5, there is no handling charge
e.g: AMP FROM TE CONNECTIVITY 1586000-2 PLUG HOUSING, FREE-HANGING, 2 WAY for £0.06

Add a resistor or something to get it over £4.99, personally I'm always breaking usb leads so I just went for one of those

There's a handling charge but free delivery, total seems to be £8.99.

Probably wise if you add ^that^ to your description, for as it stands your title is still incorrect & misleading :wink:

I have one of these but the battery is quite poor on them, need to charge it a lot

just turn it on when you need it... I got one about 9 months ago and have only charged it the first day I got it

Yes I have two of these and none of them work the battery icon is constantly flashing red.m b apparently this eates up battery even when it's off so be careful

Can this be used with the Firestick? If so how would you set it up?

Anyone know if these work with a Raspberry Pi (version 3)?
giltbrook to Dodge62
23 Nov 16#24
I have a similar version that works with Raspberry Pi 2, so I would think so.
The one thing I did find odd with these is that if you want to use the right click button, you have to use the tracker pad to position the cursor, if you use the arrow keys instead, the right click button does not work. This was also the case with one of the other buttons but I can't remember which.

these USB a usb dongle which the firestick does not have. for firestick you need the Bluetooth version of these I bought the backlit Bluetooth version off amazon.for about 15 quid. its great so much better than the onscreen typing.

Looking on tinternet it seams to be compatible with Amazon Fire TV and Kodi. Get me one of those.

I don't think we'll work with fire TV stick because this is RF not Bluetooth

Had one of these for a while, the rubberised keys quite frequently miss the strokes which is quite annoying.
Had a Rii Mini N7 which was quite a bit better but died after a year of use, still missed stroke though.
Just ordered a Logitech K400 which is full qwerty, hopefully thats a bit easier to use.

Wonder if the price drop has anything to do with recent reports concerning security?
Should be okay to use where passwords, credit card numbers, etc aren't being entered. e.g. Kodi, etc.

23 Nov 16#38
i've got one of these. would go for the bluetooth version for the better connection. this is RF. worth the price though
Destard
24 Nov 16#39
Why would security concerns lead to a price drop on one model?

Definitely?
There is nothing to indicate backlighting in the pictures of that keyboard, or in the description.

no, but it's covered in the full spec 'manual'. its one of the keys below the pointer (on the left).

But for sick squid it's a bargain - cheaper than from HK and less waiting :wink:

I've had about 10 of these & they can be a "hit n miss".
Some of them the on/off button would just stop working & 2 of them the battery would not hold a charge.
Over all if you get a good apple, then you'll love it, but it is a lottery :-)

If you get the one as pictured then no backlight. Maybe someone who has received one from here could confirm if it has backlight.
The backlight on these have a dedicated button (below the play button on Rii's, or using Fn+F6 on clones).

There's a USB dongle in the battery compartment. Take that out, slot into the Android box and then away you go.
uni
24 Nov 16#61
it's basically a wireless keyboard and mouse that works with a USB dongle that you plug into the USB port on your android device. it's dead simple to use and I've given boxes and similar keyboards to a few people who aren't tech savvy, but I set them up in advance so they were plug in and play. no need to install drivers or anything. obviously you need a device with a USB socket otherwise you may need to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse instead
