iClever BK10 Bluetooth Keyboard, Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard, Rechargeable Bluetooth 5.1 Multi Device Keyboard with Number Pad Full Size Stable Connection for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Laptop

1st a little background. I’ve been working in technology since 2001 using a keyboard as a primary interface/tool the entire time daily both in professional and personal life. In that time I’ve used countless keyboards both employer and self-purchased. I’m constantly on the lookout for the next ‘perfect’ fit. And have found some good ones over the years. Since 2013 I’ve been working remotely from home exclusively, and partially for the 2yrs years leading up to that, and therefor using solely devises I supply to myself. In recent years taking on a more leadership position I find myself on many lives calls, additionally, doing some live 3-day training in which my studio-quality microphone that is live most of the time during these sessions. Thus, I’ve found myself leaning more towards the chicklet style keyboards, similar to what you might expect on a laptop just more full-sized. I like them for a few reasons. 1st, they tend to be a bit quieter, and 2nd the low key travel I think feels faster to me, plus less finger movement/travel. So I love that about this keyboard very much. I’m a software architect and do a lot of typing both in coding, general web, and lots of email/messaging, and I simply feel it is more efficient. So this keyboard checks that box for me. The full size while also being compact is another important factor for me. Things like the full-size 10-key number bad but also normal-sized keys such as space, shift, enter, and most importantly the backspace so my fingers can find it’s typical memory muscle locations… and this keyboard checks that box as well. To save layout space they intelligently put the arrow keys under the right shift key instead of between the enter and number pad as most full-size boards do. In the end, this eliminated the typical ‘white-space’ you would find in that area, but also makes it less of a travel to get over to the number pad itself, two things I think are brilliant, and only took me a short time to re-learn the location of the arrow keys by muscle memory. Some keys are smaller than normal but are the ones that are logical to do this to create the space needed, such as the ESC key and the F-keys. With the current virus situation happening, I find myself needed to work in a new more isolated location then my typical at-home location. But I wanted to leave my at-home setup as is, in essence, I needed to create a secondary remote location. In my, in-home setup, I have a typical tower but have 4 24-inch screens that I’ve grown very fond of and used to. I initially tried this new location with just a laptop screen, which works but only for extremely isolated days or for a very short period to continue to be as effective and efficient. My laptop has 1 USB 3.0 Port but does have a USB-C port, and is Bluetooth compatible. Unfortunately, it is very portable with a detachable keyboard and just a 10-inch screen so not great for long periods. So initially I added my 10-inch tablet and leveraged my phone a lot more than normal for things like messaging, which is a galaxy Note 10. Latter using a USB-C docking station sort of set up I added a 27-inch curved screen, and a 23 inch mounted vertically (sizes important for references of the size of the board in the provided picture. Which also gave me a few more USB ports. At this point, the biggest pain point was to use touch on the phone and tablet. Additionally, My USB ports used up for my wireless mouse receiver (also connects to 2 Bluetooth devices), my headset, and my phone, to use Samsung Dex when I can get by with that. So I began my search for a keyboard that would connect to 3 different devices with the tap of a button to switch and over Bluetooth exclusively, while also taking up as little of my limited new space as possible. And that by far is the best feature of this board. I can now use it to interact with all three (laptop, tablet, and phone) quickly with a simple tap of a dedicated key ‘and light’ for each of the devices, and its small footprint is not overpowering my workspace. It’s small size and weight will be perfect in the event I need to be more portable with it in the future. The slight rise in angle seems to be perfect for me as well. I paired them so they match the order of my devices in the setup as you see in the picture under the monitors. It is important to know that sometimes Bluetooth switching does take a second for the device to respond/recognize the input device, but that is not an issue with the keyboard, that has more to do with Bluetooth or the device you are connecting to as I experience the same thing with other similar products made by completely different manufactures at a much higher price. So everything this does, plus the characteristics I mentioned above such as overall and key sizes seemed to be the perfect fit and I took the chance on it, realizing that I could easily return it if needed, but this thing is staying in my arsenal for sure. In fact, in some ways, I wish I had discovered this before purchasing my last board which is my current at-home setup because it cost 5-times what this did and offers the same functionality. I waited to use this thing for 2-3 weeks before writing this review, and as an all-day user, I figured that would be a good amount of time for a fair initial assessment. One of the things that have stood out is battery life. After the initial charge to full I have not plugged this thing in yet and it is still going strong. A handy light on the board tells you when it is fully charged and if the battery is running low ‘a light I have not seen yet’. And when it comes time I’ll simply unplug one of the USB ports I’m not currently using, or don’t need overnight, or even a wall charger if needed real-time, and then it will be good to go for another I don’t know how many WEEKS again. It does have a sleep feature, which after going ideal for a bit you need to ‘wake’ it up, which is great for saving battery life, especially if you forget to slide the perfectly placed top-mounted on/off button to the off position. I’ve gotten in the habit of hitting the space key, or Bluetooth device button I intend to be using to wake it up if it’s been a bit since I touched it and it works perfectly this way. Longevity will be something that only time can tell, which at this point I would not be too upset about, for example, the key labels are stickers, and will likely start to fade out after some time which is no different than 90% of my boards I own that are not etched. But even if this board lasts me for a year, I could get five of them for the price I paid for my last board and get 5yrs out of them with less functionality which I do not expect to get from most boards. So all-in-all considering the combined aspects of price, form, function, and all the characteristics I wanted, I love this board which is why it is getting my 5-star review. I would re-purchase, and likely will again, in a second. I could point out more, and I could compare this to other boards, but nothing else I’ve used combines all these things in one package, and especially not at this price point, so keeping that in mind I suggest giving this one a shot because if you are reading this it’s because you are intentionally not looking at other boards and I can’t imagine any other board offering all this at this price point.

Nice design, good materials, almost no difference between it and apples own keyboard. The key/s tactile feels good - everything nicely spaced out.This keyboard is longer than the Mac one only by the addition of the numbers keypad. A PC type keyboard for me is too large width wise. They are another 60mm or 2" longer! Which takes up too much space on my desktop. I have a 3D connection mouse located to the left of the keyboard. The PC keyboard was a clumsy thing Im glad to be done with it. I like this intermediate size having the num keypad on the side instead of using top row on my older Mac keyboard. Small feature but big difference. The keyboard angle is OK - same as Apple's.I bought this keyboard for switching between two Mac Mini's and with one of them running Bootcamp. It all works out great. Small delay in switching between the Bluetooth selects but not really an issue for me. So far no Bluetooth dropouts as reported by other users. Now, I have full switching between Mac's and Bootcamp with this keyboard and my Logitech M720 mouse with its 3 Bluetooth channels. Great combination. Lastly, I have a chargeable keyboard rather than my older Mac AA battery powered one. The iClever BK10 charged up in less than 15 minutes straight out of the box and has not needed a recharge since. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint down the road. So far everything is good.

Got a good deal. Was marked down due to some "broken" keys, but all the parts were there. Just took some careful assembling and they snapped back in. It hooked up to my Mac mini (late 2012) perfectly and pairing was simple. Reminds me of the apple keyboard I used to have with some updated and added features. It can pair to three different devices, and you can switch between devices with a push of a key. I had little trouble charging it. I tried a wall charger first, but there was no indication of it charging. (The manual specifies a minimum and maximum voltage, and I suspect the wall charger did not fall in that range.) So I just plugged it into my Mac mini to charge and that worked just fine. Very happy with this product.

The product itself is fine. The keys have a nice feel and it hooks up to bluetooth very quickly. Also, it looks very good. I got the Silver and white. It matches my Apple setup really nice. I was using a Logitech full size prior to this and it stopped working after years of use. That one was more comfortable because it was full size. Things are little cramped on this I clever one. It looks just like an apple keyboard. I could have looked at the specifications a little closer, but I assumed it was truly full size. Thats the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, Its a great little keyboard, feels nice, looks good and seems to work seemlessly with both Apple desktop and Ipad. Add in the price - I would certainly buy it again.

This is a great keyboard, specially for the price. It can be configured very easily for Mac or Windows, and it's also really easy to switch from default OS function keys to app-configured functions (as in Photoshop, for example. Initially, the keys are a bit noisy and don't have a comfortable feel, but with the included silicon keypad cover, it becomes quite deluxe feeling. The bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and can be configured to use with 3 separate devices, and the battery life is great. I have two of these now. Customer service is very responsive, and generously helped me with an issue which was of my own making.
