Matias FK416PCBTL Bluetooth Wireless Backlit Slim Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and 4-Device Sync - Compatible with Windows PC (Black)

This keyboard has a great feel and finished and pairs easily between 4 different devices. I also like that in has the number pad and backlit; that's something of a rarity. One thing to note, as other reviews has said, this keyboard is not aluminum in any way. It's all plastic which is ok with me because that makes it lighter which I like.

I tried and tried to like this keyboard for half a year, but in the end I'm throwing in the E-waste bin. On the positive side, earning two stars: the backlight works well and Bluetooth preserves one of the two USB type A ports on my laptop. The keyboard layout is perfectly conventional (important for touch typist), unlike the contorted Dell laptop layout. The all-plastic construction is lightweight and wastes no space, at least compared to a big gaming keyboard.On the negtive side, some keys are intermittent: almost every sentence is missing some of the "a" letters and spaces, but other keys sometimes bounce and repet; this requires constant proofreading and correction (which I did not do on this sentence). The instructions do not match the product (took a while to figure out how to turn on the backlighting, since the backlight key discussed in the manual does not exist. The chicklet keys barely depress and the action is too mushy to allow fast touch typing. Eventually I found myself using only the number keypad on the Matias keyboard but then pushing it aside and reverting to the Dell laptop keyboard when typing text. Instructions talk about one battery for the keyboard and one for backlight, but mine seems to have a single battery that runs down in a few days when using backlight. Then the keyboard takes overnight to recharge, after which it plays dead (completely unresponsive) and requires fiddling with the on/off and Bluetooth buttons... maybe better instructions would help. Durability is unknown since mine has never been packed or moved but already has problems with the keys. I certainly would not toss this into a laptop case and expect it to survive travel; this fact cancels one main advantage of the lightweight and compact case.I guess developing and manufacturing a good backlit keyboard is difficult. Sorry I spent the money on this one, but obviously it is fine for some other reviewers.

This keyboard was listed as "Matias Bluetooth Wireless Backlit Slim Aluminum Keyboard (FK416PCBTL) for PC - Multi-Pairing - Black." But the keyboard is plastic. This is noted at the Matias store as follows:"This keyboard has a plastic case, so is a budget-priced version of our higher-end keyboards."Other than that, it is exactly what I was looking for. a high-quality full-size Bluetooth keyboard with a number pad. So far it's been great. I am also happy that the backlit is white and not some odd color.This is more of a Windows keyboard than the similar Matias aluminum keyboards. This keyboard has a Windows key with the Windows symbol, and the aluminum keyboards don't have the Windows symbol key and are designed to work well with Macs.I will update my review if/when the Seller updates the product name to remove the aluminum reference. Even though the keyboard is plastic, it's high-quality plastic ad the keyboard is rigid and feels very solid. I am keeping the keyboard.

I purchased this keyboard specifically for the multiple Bluetooth device connectivity. The good news is, that capability is working well so far. Unfortunately, after about 45 days of use (too long to send it back to Amazon), the keys began to malfunction. Many keys are now intermittent, they don't always work. Even typing this I am required to proofread as I go to make sure I didn't skip a key. The quality of the keys on this keyboard is very poor and clearly not worth the cost. I'll be throwing it away and purchasing an alternative. Very disappointed.

Keyboard is amazing..good for up to 4 devices! First one had a problem and they shipped me a new one the same day! the keyboard is bright and can be dimmed..keys react smoothly...switches easily between devices with the touch of a button! If your looking for a backlit wireless keyboard...you can do no better than this...5 stars all the way!!!!
