Design, Looks, Quality

From first impression the key layout arrangement was excellent and very user friendly to operate. For me as an end user experience was nothing but good. Touch Pad was very responsive upon touch including cursor response on screen. As for quality and looks the company did a really great job in “squeezing” all the keys in a very compact arrangement and adding fast access “shortcut” buttons such as the multimedia buttons, home, menu, quick search, volume levels, sound muting button and few others that save time in operating the keyboard.

Operation

Back Side Compartment

On the back side of the keyboard Reiitek company add a small compartment containing the mini Transmitter USB Dongle. Next to it you can find the USB type charging cable that is detachable and relatively very short in length. For extending the length and making it easier to handle company also included an additional USB Male – Female extension cable.

Charging the Unit

The k18 is equipped with a built-in rechargeable polymer lithium-ion 850mAh battery. Charging the unit is a very simple process. Once the battery low power light turns on, notifying that internal battery needs charging. When it happens, you just connect the back USB cable to any standard USB port, for example a P.C and wait for approximately a period time between 30 min – 60 min until the battery charging status light turns off, indicating that the unit is fully charged.

Auto sleep/wake mode

In normal operation the Wireless blue light status is turned on. When the keyboard isn’t used for a period time of 3 min it enters into sleep mode (low power consumption mode). Pressing any key on the keyboard awaken it from hibernation/sleep status back to working mode. In addition you can change this default sleep mode and extend it from 3 min to 2 hours by pressing the FN + ESC keys.

Auto Connect feature 

One of the highlights of the K18 keyboard, which is based on 2.4G wireless Technology is that the user doesn’t need to use any pairing code to link with the USB Wireless Receive or turn any Bluetooth settings on. The connection is established automatically in “Plug and Play” method, By Just plugging the Mini Wireless receiver to a standard USB port.

Operation Range

According to product sheet, the maximum range of the Keyboard is maximum 10M. From my personal tests I have managed to work with distance of 7M while still maintaining good response time when moving cursor on screen trough the touch pad and moving between screens using the navigation keys.

Final verdict

The K18 is an excellent compact wireless keyboard which combines both high build quality,  design with useful multimedia shortcut keys. I didn’t find any cons with it and It’s a great worth buying a product that currently sells for a retail price of $18.80 (including shipping).
