This keyboard has worked great for me so far. I’ve been using the original batteries for months and they’re still going strong. The built-in mouse pad and volume controls can be a little sensitive, but honestly, I’d rather have them work a little too well than have to fight with them.
I mainly keep this in the living room for when I have my PC hooked up to the TV, and it works really well as an all-in-one media keyboard. Not many wireless keyboards have the built-in mouse pad, so having everything in one device is really convenient.
I also have a Logitech K400, and while they function pretty similarly, this one honestly feels a bit more premium to me. Overall, it’s a great value for what you get and does exactly what I need it to do.

Looks good but...
Looks good, has a good feel, and I like the layout but... it has problems. It goes to sleep too quick(like a few minutes) and then it wakes up too slowly(like 3-5 seconds before it really registers any key presses) it doesn't seem to wake up if you just spam one key at times. It sometimes puts in imputes a second later than you press it, after not interreacting with it for a few seconds(inconsistent). There are also some design decision that are just bad, for instance the track pad, you would think oh its nice and big and stops just under the volume control buttons section right? Wrong! The volume buttons are also a functioning part of the trackpad so if you go to tap volume up a few times every tap registers as a left-click as well. Also also the led indicators are bright like I wish they were 1/10 as bright as they are.
I wanted to like this keyboard and it was almost good but it just falls short in too many ways. Just get the Logitech k400 plus.

Good range, feels good, amazingly quick setup.
Right after unboxing, I was happy with the weight and feel of the keyboard. It's super thin and easy to handle. When it came time to plug in the 2.4G dongle, I expected some sort of long pairing experience... but nope! Worked instantly!
The range is good enough for my use, which is about 10 ft away. Typing feels surprisingly good compared to what I expected for the size, especially since I'm used to higher end keyboards. I'm happy with the size, the arrow keys don't feel too small (which I was scared of since some are half width), and the mouse feels good enough.

Ballin' On A Budget! 🎯
Great value for the price! Surprisingly sturdy construction and feel with long-lasting battery. If using for Mac or iOs device, I wasn't able to use existing trackpad gestures unique to iOs devices. Unless I didn't configure it properly. Wish the keyboard was backlit but overall great buy if you're in the market for Bluetooth keyboard AND trackpad combo!

Affordable Premium Feel Keyboard Touchpad Combo Compared to Logitech Price
've been a longtime user of the Logitech K400 but needed a keyboard with both Bluetooth and a 2.4 GHz receiver for greater flexibility. This setup allows my home theater PC to leverage Bluetooth connectivity while keeping the receiver as a spare for other devices I manage.
At a similar price point to the K400, I find this keyboard's key feel superior. It offers a more tactile, laptop-like keypress, which is a significant improvement over the K400's softer membrane keys. The Rii's touchpad is noticeably more sensitive, allowing for faster cursor movement and appears to feature better sensors overall.
While I can't yet speak to its long-term durability since it's a recent purchase, my K400 has been reliable for years, enduring heavy use and some pretty rough handling, and it still functions well. Based on my experience so far, if I needed a second keyboard, I'd likely opt for the Rii again.
I also have the Rii handheld keyboard with a touchpad that resembles a game controller. While compact and functional, its touch sensor feels similar to the K400's and is too small for extended productive use.
Overall, Rii seems to have established a solid niche in media-focused keyboards with versatile connectivity options. I hope they continue to balance quality with affordability.

Not much ro review.
I normally like the Rii keyboard so I usually order it when j misplace the cover. This however wasn't the correct product. I definitely wouldn't recommend the Cruz I got. It's bluetooth only ehi h doesn't work well.

Poor quality
Flimsy and poor quality control.
Track pad film is cut to large for the pad and curl up on the edges.
Buy the Logitech and know you'll get better quality.

Some keys stopped working - not backlit - audio up, down, and mute are not easy to control
tl;dr for almost fifty bucks after shipping costs, this should have backlight, better design for volume keys, and the keys shouldn't die after two weeks. It feels pretty nice in the hand, though.
The good:
This keyboard feels really nice. It's sturdy and fairly heavy for how slim it is. The keys have a nice texture to them and the trackpad is very responsive.
The bad:
Some of the number keys stopped working after two weeks.
It's not backlit, which makes it difficult to use in the dark as a media keyboard for TV/Movies. The audio up and down are especially frustrating in the dark because they're flush with the trackpad and don't have backlights/led lights either.
I bought the new version and paid about ten dollars more than if I'd gotten the old one. I have no idea what was updated.
