Review: Great Product for HTPC or Likewise Computers - Absolutely love the thing. Bought this for use with my HTPC and it does the job perfectly. The track pad works great, and while I hate track pads, it's much better than having to have somewhere to put a mouse and the room to move it around. The scroll wheel functions just like a normal scroll wheel on a mouse, and has a "middle click" button. The volume buttons are an awesome convenience. The connection is solid and I haven't had a problem with it whatsoever as well. The RGB is either the rainbow effect (it doesn't move or flash) or other solid colors you can choose from; not much customization, but that's not what I bought it for, and shouldn't be what you buy it for either. The brightness of the keys is great in a completely dark room which I do use it in. It's super lightweight, easy to use, and fits in the palm of your hand. The keys feel as nice as they can for a device of this price and size; you're not meant to be typing essays on this of course anyways. Also very impressed to learn that the battery is removable when it arrived! So if the battery dies, no need to throw the whole unit away, just buy a new battery. It also charges via USB-C which is very nice, and does come with a short cable if you don't have one. I will definitely buy another one when I'm in need of a small control device for a PC like this.
Review: Easy to set up, nice layout, scrolewheel. - Works great. The layout of keys is good and I can read the keys easily. No issues pairing it like I had with bluetooth. Having the scroll wheel built in is very nice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This doesn't seem to have the pause/play and fast forward buttons like on the I8? Or does the left cluster with Ok and arrows do this?**
A: No pause/play and fast forward buttons on this and left cluster doesnt do it either. But it still is a very good device.

**Q: This new model doesn't have the play/pause button in center of the left wheel. so how do you control those features in kodi or any other app?**
A: Same price, i prefer to the ipazzport, the 2018 version support the play/pause button, NEW Feature for the IR remote to replace my tv remote, control volume and power. 
Don't need box remote and tv remote.

**Q: What are the dimensions ?**
A: 5".5 inches wide and 3''3/4 inches yes i like it

**Q: Is it possible to "click and drag" with this? Seems like on many games or using File Explorer that would be needed.**
A: I have used it with windows 10 and I'm able to highlight, click and drag n drop. So far, this has been able to do virtually everything a keyboard and mouse has been able to do with my pc. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to set up, nice layout, scrolewheel.

Works great. The layout of keys is good and I can read the keys easily. No issues pairing it like I had with bluetooth. Having the scroll wheel built in is very nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-executed, easy-to-use mini keyboard/trackpad combo
*by D***E on September 24, 2025*

So, let’s start with the cons, since I could go on about the pros. As someone with large hands, I definitely wish this product was a bit bigger, or at least more ergonomically designed. I often cover the wireless sensors with my finger and have to hold it a bit awkward to type. I also have found that sometimes my PC will randomly stop accepting the mouse input altogether, and I have to get up and unplug/reinsert the dongle to get it to function. That could be an isolated issue, but it still stands. As for things I like, it’s really easy to use and the backlight for the keyboard is bright when it is on. The track pad surface is just big enough, and as much as I like the built in scroll wheel and left/right click buttons, I usually find myself using the trackpad for all mouse use. It’s pretty light, and it lasts quite a while on a single charge, even if you’re prone to accidentally leaving it on like myself. All the buttons are very responsive, and while I don’t use the media and volume keys, I’m glad they’re included. The addition of more full size keyboard keys like Ctrl and Shift also allows for an easy experience when copying or moving files around in folders or filesystems, as well as making keyboard shortcuts a snap. Overall, if you’re looking for something that’s easy to use for a HTPC or gaming computer on a TV, this is a great solution. However, if you’re modifying lots of files at once, you may find yourself better suited getting something like a more typical, “full-size” keyboard-and-trackpad combo. This was a quick solution for me, personally, since my previous mini keyboard remote stopped working after it took a hard tumble. It suits my needs, and Rii has always been a brand that makes the odd products that seem to fit what I’m looking for, with good quality at that.
