Works great, feels nice, long lasting battery

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024

The keys and track pad feel nice to use. It’s pretty easy to program the universal remote buttons on the backside too. I like that it connects with Bluetooth and doesn't require a dongle. It’s also very small like a tv remote, so it doesn’t take up too much space.

I use this to control my laptop and projector from the couch. I’ve only had to charge it once in 6 months.

I’d recommend reading the instructions to get the most use of it; some quality of life features are hidden such as a command to rotate the orientation of the trackpad so you can hold it either like a keyboard or like a tv remove.

Downsides would be that the universal remote buttons have to be pretty close to my projector to work, but that might be an issue with the projector itself. Also I wouldn’t want to write an essay or spreadsheet with this tiny keyboard, but for basic internet browsing from bed or the couch it’s perfect. You could conceivably play video games with this keyboard, but the buttons are pretty small. I use two thumbs, there’s no way I could type with 10 fingers. It reminds me of a blackberry keyboard.

Overall I’m very happy with this product and I’d recommend it.

Works well, would be better if slightly larger

I'm using this to control an old android phone to run off my tv and it works good for what I need. I very much love the IR buttons on the backside as they allow me to interact with a 2nd device (the tv) on the fly without needing another remote to do so. Programming the keys were simple and straight forward, I just wish there were a few more buttons to make it truly more functional as only the backside buttons can be programmed to work with the IR. All the keys on the keyboard and IR backside are very responsive and so far the battery life has been great. Also like the option to have backlighting on or off.

The other slight drawback is the track pad can be a tad touchy to use. It works fine but it's just so small that there's minimal space to move your finger around on it which can require lifting your finger off and back on to travler further distances on the screen. I think this device is a pretty good choice but it would be absolutly perfect it it was a 1/2" wider and had a few more IR buttons to preset.

Very tiny and great button feel

Works great, plug and play, worth buying.

Buttons have nice feel like a flip phone. Track pad is responsive and easy to use. I like the blue function keys and it is pretty easy to use once you get used to the keyboard layout. Scrolling with the up and down keys and blue function for pgup and pgdown works well. My last keyboard had major issues scrolling, constantly zooming in and not responding how I wanted.

My only issues with this one is the keys are not staggered like a normal keyboard and the bumps on the home keys are pretty small. Starting out it was slow goings. To type accurately I needed to look where my fingers were.

I have large hands so typing with thumbs is awkward but using pointer fingers gripping it on top and botom was easy and accurate. The space bar is shifted to the right side because of the addition of the - and + keys to the left of it. So getting accustomed the layout isn't instantaneous.

The remote function side is awesome! I really like that you can program the keys so simply. Worked well with a little testing. Also the USB C charger is perfect! It worked well charging off whatever I plugged it into. No more AA batteries 😁

If you're looking for a TV companion keyboard this is the one to get.

Very convenient, almost essential. And makes a great gift! Why I didn't hear you

The media could not be loaded.

When I first bought this I had a Samsung 55 inch crystal UHD 8000 series . Although not all the controls worked as the buttons were programmed to.. I was able to play around with it and figure out what key combinations I needed to do to do things like open my smart hub/home (which was like Fn+4 or something) and I had to memorize the buttons.. It would have been epic if the buttons did what they were supposed to..
So the weekend after black Friday/cyber Monday.. I was able to find a deal at Best buy for a Newer TV. I was on the fence of what to get.. but ultimately I'm Samsung all the way.. my phones, tvs, smart watch etc.. and I loved my 55 inch.. so when I finally had the chance to upgrade. I stuck with Samsung and got a 70" QLED and I love it.. and FORTUNATELY .. now the remote works with ALL the buttons like they are supposed to! So idk if it was cuz my previous tv was not as new . It was only from 2020.. right when covid hit..
But now my upgraded TV works perfect with this remote.. and even when it didn't.. I would have still loved this remote and gave it 5 stars even with the buttons being off.. but now I have every reason to give it 5 stars..

Also I bought EVERY keyboard remote I could find that I thought would be worth trying and I tried about 5 different ones out.. and found that this one was by far the best. I returned all the others.. one of the biggest thing I was looking for was the ability to use the cursor so if I had the Internet open and was on Amazon.. it would be easy to navigate around .. and I found some with keyboards on the back.. or in the top center.. but THIS was the one..

Hope this helps people.. I was sad to see this idem had gone DOWN in reviews and now only 4.2 average stars.. when I believe it should be much higher! So did my part and reviewing it now!

Great gift for anyone with a smart TV.. honestly.. so you don't have to take the time to type emails and passwords when logging in.. this makes it much easier and faster! Works with majority of apps .. I think 1 app doesn't work . Think it was Hulu.. but not anything to do with the remote and was just how the app in the TV I have is programmed..

Happy holidays! God bless!

So good I'm buying a third!!!

This mini keyboard is so awesome!!!! I originally bought it for my steam deck to minimize the bulk of my already small icleaver keyboard. It ended up replacing that keyboard alltogether!!! The icleaver one was always so wonky and would never connect and it was over 50!!! This keyboard is half the price and connects right away. Not only that, but it has a programmable universal remote that can be used while the keyboard is on!!!! I go from typing on my steam deck to flipping the remote and watching media on my tv. It's so seamless!!! This is my new remote/keyboard! Gone are the days of dreading needing to type something bc of wonky connection. I have two of these and im buying a third bc they are just so good! Also, they look so cute and tiny and have excellent battery life. Ty for reading 😊

I've had it for almost 2 months and worked great but the battery has run out and it won't charge. The red light will come on for 10 seconds at most and leaving it plugged without the light for a while doesn't seem to do anything.

Convenient, but trackpad is a little glitchy

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

There are some great features here - it's small but usable, and I love that this model has both "RF" based *and* Bluetooth connectivity. But I don't love that this one doesn't have a slot to stick the USB dongle into when it's not being used. There's no question that it'll get lost soon! But I do love the learning IR keys on the back, which makes this an amazing companion for my smart TV.

One negative is that the trackpad seems to be super twitchy, i.e. not always very responsive. I have a feeling that there's some radio frequency interference going on, maybe from nearby USB 3.0 ports?

On of my fav use cases is to pair this with a USB-based HDMI capture device as a quick way to troubleshoot my otherwise headless Raspberry Pis.

Great media PC controller

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

I've used this for a solid 2 weeks and I absolutely love it. I had a full size keyboard and mouse for my media PC in my living room and they were always in the way. With this little guy I can easily keep it close at hand but it doesn't cover the whole coffee table! My one gripe is that the track pad on the right can make it a little awkward to use the keyboard. For me it's not that big of an issue since I'm not writing war and peace on it but simply looking up movies, music, etc. If you have a similar situation, this will work perfectly.

Cheers!

This thing is adorable (translation: smaller than I expected--and I expected pretty small). For the price (Black Friday discount included) I couldn't be happier. In the body of this review, I will note some drawbacks, but I believe most of them are related to the paired devices and thus not to be counted against this Rii keyboard.

Pros:

- 3 distinct modes. Bluetooth, RF and IR. This keyboard can operate a PC (RF with dongle), my ChromeCast with GoogleTV (Bluetooth), and basic up to 10 functions like power on, volume, source selection for TV or Receiver (IR)

- I find the touchpad to be very responsive (although I've read reviews to the contrary). It's not speedy. I prefer a trackball when traversing 3 monitors, but that's more about my setup than this keyboard device.

- The keys are also very responsive. I've read at least one review that decries the grid formation of the keys over traditional staggering of a QWERTY keyboard. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone is using this to type their graduate thesis. I find it to be quite sufficient to the casual use for which I believe it was intended.

- Smaller than several of my other entertainment system remotes, yet allows me to actually type search text rather than the laborious up, down, left, right, click and repeat process one is usually stuck with using simple navigation keys.

- Rechargeable using USB-C which has become the standard. Every other mini keyboard I researched still used USB mini.

- Battery life seems adequate so far, but I've only had it 24 hours. If the battery performance is poor, I'll come back and knock a star off from this 5-star review.

Cons:

- Some of the functions I use the most, Home and Return, involve 2 fingers (and potentially both hands) to operate because the require and Fn-key combination. However, this is always going to be the case for someone's favorite function given the size of the unit and the subsequent economy of buttons.

- The lack of multi-touch on the touchpad can lead to some awkward click and drag combinations when using as a mouse on a PC.

- Media App compatibility is the biggest complaint I can levy against this little keyboard remote. This, of course, I'm inclined to lay at the feet of the App programmers rather than this device.
After performing the Bluetooth pairing with my ChromeCast with GoogleTV receiver, I've discovered the following instances of glitchy behavior:

--While the cursor arrow drawn by using the touchpad will all activation of anything on the Home screen via tap or mouse-left button, the individual media apps will not acknowledge a mouse click.

--The keyboard will go to sleep after a period of time (I believe this to be about 10 minutes). When this happens, the video I'm watching may be affected. On many Apps, this is not the case at all. Max, Disney+, and Paramount+ all remain unaffected.
---AppleTV+ will momentarily drop the video stream to a gray screen and then recover.
---Hulu, however, will pop back to the ChromeCast Home page every time the keyboard goes to sleep or wakes up. In fact, if the keyboard is set to Bluetooth mode, turning the keyboard on or off will immediately shut down the Hulu App completely.
As mentioned above, I consider this to be a flaw in those 2 Apps and not this device. In fact, I've found the Hulu App to be rather flakey in several areas.

Conclusion:

If you want a small convenient way to operate a PC remotely (say for a presentation), easily type in full search text on streaming devices, or simply want to consolidate several remotes into one universal device, this Rii mini keyboard is an excellent and inexpensive choice.

This thing is sweet. For the price I don't think you can beat it. It was smaller than I though it would be, but the trackpad works great and typing on it feels a lot like using an older slider style phone from the 00s. I can keep my laptop plugged into my eGPU and TV and use it from the couch like an entertainment PC
