Review: Inateck Bluetooth 3.0 ultra slim keyboard

Usually, when you lot think of wireless keyboards, names like Microsoft and Logitech come to listen, every bit they have long been the standard bearers of such devices. However, i name that may not exist familiar to you that deserves a look is Inateck. They take put out an ultra slim Bluetooth 3.0 keyboard that warrants your consideration.

Blueprint

From a pattern perspective, Inateck's Bluetooth 3.0 ultra slim keyboard is just about everything yous would desire in a compact portable keyboard. It is extremely thin, measuring about 0.v inches (1.five cm) at its thickest indicate. The vast majority of it is but nearly 0.25 inches (.75 cm) thick.

The keys are depression-profile, which prevents them from snagging and getting damaged in a purse. They are also sufficiently spaced apart, helping to avert fatty-fingering them (pressing the wrong fundamental), a common occurrence on smaller keyboards.

The Inateck keyboard also includes a ton of double-function keys for easy admission to Search, Copy, Cut, Paste, and music/volume controls. Information technology runs on an embedded rechargeable battery and charges via Micro USB.

Additionally, this keyboard is uniform with Windows, iOS and Android. And because information technology is Bluetooth, yous can utilise information technology without having to plug in a dongle.

Information technology looks good, too. The main body and keys are matte black with a shiny silver metal lesser and front end lip. Overall, it is pretty impressive.

Just power it on using the inconspicuous ability slider on the bottom of the keyboard. Then press Ctrl + C to fire upwards the Bluetooth pairing. Later that, the keyboard should show upwardly in your listing of discoverable Bluetooth devices on your computer.

Using the Inateck keyboard

Having carried the Inateck keyboard around for a few days, I can say that it is great for putting in a reckoner bag and using with a tablet (in this example, my Surface Pro 3). It takes up very little room and is very convenient to turn on and beginning typing.

The keys are well-defined, and then typing is a breeze, despite being a compact keyboard. I thought I would have a problem with how flat the keyboard lays on the table, but it was actually very comfortable to utilize.

While physically using this keyboard was a very positive experience, I did run into problems with the keyboard's responsiveness. There were many times that I would printing keys, and nothing would testify up on the screen. After trying a couple more times, information technology would piece of work again.

The problem seemed to get better afterward disconnecting my Bluetooth mouse, but non completely solved. It is difficult to tell whether it was Bluetooth-related or a trouble with the keys themselves.

In fairness, I just used the Inateck keyboard with my Surface Pro iii, so this could be a very isolated experience, and information technology's possible that information technology is not directly related to the keyboard itself.

For that reason, I still highly recommend you take a take a chance on the Inateck Bluetooth 3.0 ultra slim keyboard, especially if you tin can go it on Amazon for $21.99. That is well-nigh xl% off the regular $35.99 toll tag.
