RiiK06 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard,Backlit 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard with IR Learning, Portable with Touchpad,Compatible with Amazon Fire Stick/VR Glasses/PS4/PS5/HTPC/IPTV (2.4G and Bluetooth)

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 they require the Fn-key in 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 allow 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.

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.

update Jun 21 2025- after about eight months I noticed I was having to charge the device more often but not using it more. At ten months I was charging every couple of days and I noticed the unit was swelling in the middle. I sent the seller a message about the charge life and they replied quickly that I should consider turning it off between uses. I sent them a pic of the swelling and said I was concerned about the safety of the battery. They replied quickly and agreed, and sent me a free replacement. So I thank them for doing that so long after my purchase!The replacement is BT 5.0, my original was BT 4.0, and I have upgraded my laptop since I switched to the usb dongle I mentioned below. So I thought I would try the bluetooth connection again. It seems like maybe the vertical bar issue I mentioned below is better but still happens once every day or two. The lag in waking up I mentioned below still happens though. Maybe the usb dongle is just better if you have a spare port. The IR learning feature is finicky, it shows that it learned even if it didn't. By changing how long I transmit the factory remote signal into it, and being patient, it does eventually work.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=overall very nice, a little flimsy but the light weight is good.manual pretty bad but possible to figure out.waking up from standby a little erratic, sometimes the first key pressed will work but sometimes there is a sec or so delay. But developing habit of holding first key a sec or so every time I pick it up works.Using Bluetooth, maybe that is part of issue. Occasionally the key I press results in a vertical bar character instead of what I pressed, but this is rare. Have not tried the usb dongle method yet.UPDATE: found the usb dongle, trying that method, after a couple days have not had issue with vertical bar character or slow wake up. maybe bluetooth is the issue, which could be my computer...

Keyboard works great on my computer and iPad. Not all the keys on it work with them, such as the media player or task manager. But I was able to reprogram that in my devices settings and I’ve had no problems since. I see a lot of people saying the ir training doesn’t work. I got mine to work fine with my Roku tv. It took a little bit to get the remote part programmed but if you’re patient it’s possible. I had to disconnect my Roku remote from tv and then train it. Otherwise the Roku remote was using rf instead of ir. So if it’s connected it won’t train and I’m sure a lot of other remotes are like this. Overall great product. Just takes some time to learn it.
