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 6-21-25I 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 UpdateI 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.

I bought this to use in the living room with our media PC. Unit is solid, feels of quality construction, similar to a much more expensive Logitech MX Keys I use for my main PC. Unit is weighty, keys have great feel. You have options for color and function / media controls. And though I'm not a fan of touchpads in general, this one is pretty good, maybe a little bit of lag but it supports two-finger gestures. Definitely adequate for my intended usage. Battery life is also great, and USB-C charging means I can use the same cables I use for everything else in the house.My only gripe is that it's slow to wake up from sleep. I usually just turn it off and back on since that seems to be quicker. Also neither the touchpad nor 2 mouse buttons wake it up, you HAVE to press one of the regular keyboard keys to wake it up. That's horribly unintuitive. It gets increasingly frustrating since it is used all day for our main TV, we need something that just works seamlessly when we need it to. Probably going to replace this with something pricier that wakes up quickly, and reassign this unit to a low-usage media PC in a bedroom.
