Arteck Wireless Solar Keyboard Full Size Solar Recharging Keyboard for Computer/Desktop/PC/Laptop/Surface/Smart TV and Windows 10/8 / 7 / Vista/XP Built in Rechargeable Battery

Really good keyboard. Quiet keys, smooth operation, solar powered with cable recharging option. This replaced my Logitech solar keyboard, which had slightly better key action, but stopped holding a charge after about 10 months. So far so good on this one. Would definitely order it again.

I selected this keyboard after doing a bit of research. I already have a solar keyboard (a Logitech) on my Windows system, and I needed a keyboard for my Linux system. I was a little hesitant to buy because I did not see any definitive information that it would work with Linux. I've had it several days, and I can say with some authority, it definitely works correctly under Linux. The system in question is a Dell laptop running Peppermint Linux hosting a CentOS 8 VM. Most keyboards (with one notable exception) work on this system so I was hopeful it would work well, and it does. It behaves virtually identically to the Logitech keyboard and so far has given me no trouble. Build-wise, this is a solid keyboard that should hold up to some abuse. It is sturdy and does not flex when I am typing. I like the fact that the dongle is held to the back of the keyboard magnetically so it can be transported with less concern of being misplaced when not in use. One of the major issues I have with keyboards is that I have the hands of a gorilla and I frequently run into issues with hitting multiple keys at the same time, particularly with flat keyboards like this one. The keys are slightly bigger than average with this one, though, and hitting muliple keys simultaneously is less of a problem. This was an unexpected and welcome surprise. Aesthetically, I love the feel of this keyboard. Most of the keys are concave and feel pleasant to the touch. Oddly, a good number of the keys on the bottom row are actually convex. While this is no issue at all, I do find it puzzling. It is priced competitively against the Logitech too. If I could change anything I would include some kind of indicator of how much charge this keyboard has at any given time. So far I have not run out of power, but eventually I expect to have a situation where there has not been enough light to keep it at a full charge and it would be good to know how much power it has retained. I'm pleased with this keyboard. It works well under Linux and I don't need to replace batteries or plug it in. I really can't ask for much more than that.

I have two of this one and they are great. One at work one at home. The option to charge it, its great on the new one. The first one still works fine and has been with me for years now.

EDIT: update, the 2nd one lasted to July 2025, so around 3 years for the second one. Connection started giving out and wouldn't hold a charge. Time to move on. Cherry (KW9100) makes a nice and thin scissor key wireless keyboard I'm trying this time that has a similar, possibly even better, feel to it but it's not solar. This is still a nice keyboard if you accept that it's apparently good for only a very limited lifetime. I purchased my first of these keyboards in 2020 for $30. It lasted just over 2 years (purchased 6/9/2020 gave out 6/20/2022) before it quit and showed no signs of life, while I was typing. Not long for a keyboard, but for the price and convenience of never having a power issue, I didn't have a hard time deciding to buy it again. Even though this is kept in a dark room with only lamp light, the keyboard never needed dedicated charging. The new model ($27) is still extremely flat and low profile, keeping a good angle for wrists. The usb receiver is keyed to this one, so the old one goes in the trash with the old keyboard. The new one has the same excellent typing feel and keys. An added feature is a function lock (and indicator light), so you can lock in one button use of volume keys, at the expense of giving up F5 and other function keys (as function keys) until unlocked. Also there is now a battery life key and indicator life. Hit the button and the battery indicator flashes 1-4 times to indicate battery life, 4 flashes being full. There is now a usb-c connector as an alternate way of charging. The keyboard came fully charged, and since my old one never lost charge, I doubt there will be a chance to use it or to find out if the keyboard can function as wired when fully depleted. It's disappointing that the first one only lasted 2 years, but for cable management, wireless is the way to go and never having to charge or swap batteries makes it worth it. The upgrades are good to have. I'd rather have full time dedicated volume controls (preferably in the form of a roller), not operating as an alt function, but the function lock is a step in the right direction. I have other keyboards, including a Logitech mechanical, on another pc, as well as older wireless and wired keyboards. This is my favorite to date simply for convenience of wireless, solar and a clean wire-free desk surface. No battery issues (until the very end) and wireless response is just fine for every day use as well as gaming. I would rate it higher if it had dedicated volume control buttons/roller and if it had some programmable macro keys.

After trying 3 wireless keyboards and sending them all back for various reasons which included, inconsistent connectivity, no connectivity, extremely poor battery life, etc., I finally found this one and decided to try it. This one cost at least $6 less than the previous 3 keyboards I tried and the build quality is much better. The is a full sized keyboard with a numeric keypad and very solidly built. It is weighty and substantial and the key action is delightful and very quiet. It includes a tiny little receiver/transmitter dongle that you plug into a spare USB port. Mine connected instantly with no problems. Here is no keystroke lag that I can detect. This is my first solar keyboard and I haven’t had it long enough to know how well that charging method works as opposed to using regular batteries; however, because of the excellent build quality of this keyboard, I’m not anticipating any problems. If there is a problem with the solar charging feature I will update this review accordingly. Otherwise, just assume that it is just as awesome as the rest of this keyboard. UPDATE 1: Changing my original 5 star review to 1 star. Didn’t even last for 2 years. It simply stopped charging no how much light was put on it. Tossed it and bought a wired, mechanical keyboard. UPDATE 2: I am changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars, not because of the quality of the keyboard but because the vendor reached out to me and offered to replace it. Their customer service is above average and that is worth 3 stars to me, especially when I didn’t expect to hear anything at all because of other Amazon transactions I’ve had. UPDATE 3: As of July 6, 2021, the new keyboard this vendor provided me with is working fine and I am giving it 5 stars. The keyboard looks like a slightly upgraded version than the original keyboard and so far all is well.

1) They didn't have any batteries to be replaced. Well i suppose there is a battery inside and it does get charged by the solar. I have an old Bluetooth Keyboard and its a bit cumbersome to always replace the battery, not to to mention i have to buy everytime which makes increases the cost. This one doesn't. 2) it looks solidly built and the quality of the keyboard is superb. 3) Its a plug and play, just plug in the bluetooth adapter and it will pair automatically with the keyboard. I had a K840 Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard which every now and then i have to manually add it on the Windows bluetooth to pair it. This one takes the headache away. 3) its looks very nice on my table 4) When you first take it out from the box, make sure to slide the switch and look closely at the power on LED if it lits up or not. (look at the logo ARTECK, there is a power ON led). Mine did not lit first, and i was bit frustrated because i thought i got a DOA. I let it soak under a flourescent lamp for the next few hours as i think these keyboard did not get any charge sitting under those boxes. The next day, i tried to flip the switch again and i saw a very faint orange LED. I sent an email to their customer support who had helped me to troubleshoot and finally offered a replacement.

The quality of the build of this keyboard is wild for the cost. Solid metal body and good key feeling. This feels like typing on a good quality laptop keyboard, which is really my gold standard for scissor switch keyboards. If I had to nitpick, my only complaint would be the layout of the function and function lock buttons. They are in an odd spot that I'm still not 100% used to after a week of use. That being said, I'm buying another one for work. Really like this board. I prefer it greatly over the Logitech MX Keys or the Keychron B series, both of which I also own because I'm a keyboard weirdo.

UPDATE (3 stars): Newer one did not last. Became unreliable in less than a year. Disappointing. Went back to my older one. It worked great for a while, but now it's got two problems: won't hold a charge for more than a couple days' use (and it has no charging port, solar only); and the space bar has gotten unreliable. If I don't hit it just right, I get no space. It's no longer worth the hassle, so off to the electronics recycling with these. OLD REVIEW (5 stars): Light, thin, nice springy touch, reliable solar power. I'm on my second one. I bought the first 3 years ago and it's been very reliable. I enjoy the butterfly mechanical keys. The keystroke is similar to a laptop's, but just a little deeper and definitely springier. I got a second one because I wanted a spare, and because the little tabs on the F and J keys had worn off my old one. (The latest model also has new features: a light for when the function lock is on, a light for when it's charging, and a charging cable, but I'm not very interested in these. I never need to charge it. I work near a window so there's some sunlight on it during the day and that's all it's ever needed.) For comparison, my previous favorite keyboard was the Logitech K740--which I still love, but it's developed some problems: some keys have gotten loose, and the USB cable has developed a bad connection so it cuts out intermittently. (FYI, I've tried replacing the Logitech K740 but it costs almost 3x as much and I've had problems with keys falling off right away on two new ones, so bye bye, Logitech.)

Qualité A1, seul clavier à ecran solaire.

Great product

Es lo que esperaba , está cumpliendo con el objetivo para el cual lo adquirí

While the keyboard works, and the solar power of it works, it doesn't work as well as the Logitech solar power keyboard I had before. Did he wear to self works fine but the keys are a funny shape and it's awkward to type on. Even after a year it doesn't feel natural to type on it feels cramped the keys don't feel like they pushed correctly And my typing mistakes have never been higher.It's an okay keyboard but there are definitely better I really just bought it for being a solar powered keyboard if I had to do it again I would have spent the extra cash and bought the Logitech. I had one of the Logitechs in the past it lasted me about 12 years till I spilled something on it,This one's a pain in the butt to use I'm considering just spilling something on it
