HB192

4-21-22 First my apologies to Artek for the delay in updating my review. I promised myself and them I would do so. After I wrote my initial review below, Arteck immediately contacted me through Amazon and offered to send me a replacement keyboard free. They sent me a code for one on Amazon and it arrived a day later. It was fully charged, which surprised me as not all of these do arrive this way. This keyboard worked amazing. No issues what so ever. It connected to all 3 of devices (my windows 10 PC, laptop and android phone) without a hitch. I've been using it non-stop since April 1st and been able to switch between all 3 devices seemlessly. There is a bit of a delay in the connection, but honestly, the 2 second delay occasionally that occurs is nothing. I've learned to adjust my habits a bit and wait and I'm good to go. I'm pretty sure most Bluetooth muliconnect keyboards suffer from this glitch... but either way I'm happy with this one. The customer service of this company alone has been outstanding and they have done everything they could to make sure I was happy. I would not only purchase this keyboard again, especially with the warranty it has, but I would purchase any product that Arteck sells and give it a chance. Initial impressions out of the box is that it's a nice looking and feeling keyboard. It doesn't feel cheap. They give you a micro USB cable to charge the keyboard with. It doesn't illuminate other than the LEDs above the buttons for multidevice. It's fairly easy to connect your devices to. Which is good, because you'll be reconnecting them often in an attempt to troubleshoot this device. I owned this product for less than a week. 3 days is all I had of a honeymoon period before it started giving me trouble. After that, it would randomly start going to sleep on me and refused to reconnect to my devices properly when it woke up. I checked all of my device settings (I'm in IT support for a living so yes I know what I'm doing). In an effort to be thorough, I even reinstalled my Bluetooth drivers on my 2 devices etc. It was a fruitless effort. This keyboard just didn't want to work properly. I even thought that it could be an issue with the distance of my pcs. Considering that both pcs were less than 5 feet from the keyboard already, I moved both of them so I was typing almost on top of them. Still problems with connecting and switching. So for the value and looks, please do be deceived. Have this company pull their stock and fix their product. Go with something a bit more established and with reviews much more positive. Returning this one and spending quite a bit more instead like I probably should have for a full sized keyboard, but I want one that works. Going for a Logitech with stellar reviews and no connection issues when it comes to PCs.

Ok, I am super particular about keyboards! But this keyboard (Arteck HB192) delivers in all the ways I need it to. I did with this keyboard what I do with every new keyboard I get, I immediately go Google typing test and I do a typing test for a minute, usually a couple of times. I was concerned that I would get all those repetitive keystrokes I continuously read about in the reviews, but I never did - not once! I do type in the formal way, both hands - home keys, qwerty, etc. I type about 60wpm on an ergonomic mechanical keyboard (which is my preferred keyboard). On this one, I get about 4 wpm. For this particular application, used occasionally in my living room on a new mini PC, I wanted a full-size keyboard. I use Ctrl and Alt PrtScn a lot, in addition to the arrows, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, and Delete. I am an IT professional and this is the 3rd keyboard I have gone through for this particular use case and I returned the other two for various reasons. This one has a nice keystroke travel and tactile feel - again, I never over typed not once. Furthermore, I think the build (even though I've only had it for a day) quality is impressive. It's light, yet feels strong and well made. The ability to pair 3 devices is just the coolest thing ever! I am typing on it right now while paired to my Samsung S26 phone and it's just awesome. On the primary PC which I bought it for, it does really well too. The distance - about 8/9ft - from the mini PC is not an issue. I did try two 2.4Ghz traditional wireless keyboard, and I found that they both struggled a bit with the distance and interference (there's a lot of stuff that operates in the 2.4Ghz range). With this one, I get none of that. I also like that there are indicator lights for caps lock and funtion lock - for those that this matters to, there is no indicator light for NumLk. But, being that this literally ticks every single other box for me, I'm ok with that part. I simply cannot say enough good things about this keyboard. And wow, for the price, I may just get another one just to have it around - it's a really, really great keyboard! If I could change one thing, that would be PLEASE ARTECK, get rid of the USB micro charging cable - this is such a nuisance. Make it USB A or preferably, USB C - this is what virtually everyone else is using. Oh, and one more thing. There is a power switch that allows you to turn it off and on - AND this power button LED doubles as a battery meter/indicator. If you hold and press it, you will get a series of blinks. Four blinks, the battery is fully charged/100%, 3 blinks, 75%, 2 blinks 50% etc. This is really a neat feature too. Ok, I'll stop blabbing. It's a really nice keyboard - if you're looking for a full-size Bluetooth keyboard that's not whisper quiet (it does make some sound - which I like), and is just a great keyboard all around, buy it, you will not regret it. I did pay for this on my own too, this is not a paid (or free product) review. I have it on a Windows 11 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S26, and a Lenovo Legion Tablet (Android 16). I love this thing, and I'm just totally giddy about it! :)

4.5-Star Review: Arteck HB192 Keyboard I’ve been really impressed with the Arteck HB192. It’s a clean, no-nonsense keyboard that feels much better than its price suggests. The keys have a comfortable, responsive feel with a nice amount of travel, so typing is fast and accurate without being loud or “mushy.” It’s also lightweight and easy to move between setups, which makes it great for a home office, travel bag, or keeping it paired to a tablet/laptop. Battery life has been a standout once it’s charged, it just keeps going. Connectivity has been stable for me as well, with quick pairing and consistent performance during daily use. The overall build is slim but doesn’t feel flimsy, and the layout is easy to adjust to right away. A great value keyboard with solid typing feel, reliable connection, and excellent battery life. If you want a slim, practical keyboard that just works, the Arteck HB192 is an easy recommendation.

So, it's a keyboard, aside from basic function it comes down to personal preference. The only thing I really want is a keyboard that is easy to type with and has quiet keys. I have really come to enjoy laptop style keyboards, specifically the 'scissor' switch style, they are short throw keys that have good tactile feedback (you know/feel when you pressed the key enough). This Arteck keyboard has excellent key movements in my opinion. I am finally moving from a Perixx wired keyboard to this one after being unable to find my normal USB keyboard. Of course I have some reservations about moving to a purely wireless keyboard (battery life, charging, etc). With those points in mind, I have not had any issues with this keyboard at all. The automatic sleep is well implemented, tapping any key wakes it up. I can easily go for a full week without recharging, and I can use the keyboard while it is charging. Bluetooth has had zero issues, (except when I go to airplane mode. DOH!). Bluetooth pairing was super easy, and the keyboard lights work very well to identify which pair I am using (can pair up to 3 devices). On the topic of lights, etc, here is another example of good design (at least in my opinion). The keyboard only has five lights, two are single function, one for charging, one for power. The other three are each dual function, LED 1 is for number lock or BT connection 1, LED 2 is for Caps Lock or BT connection 2, and LED 3 is for Function lock (nice feature!) or BT connection 3. The LEDs are green and stay illuminated when indicating a lock feature. For the BT connections they change to blue, but only stay on for a few moments. For the vast majority of your use the LEDs are green to indicate the features that are active on the keyboard. Overall: keyboard connects and just works. Keys feel great. No issues with lagging, and battery management has been excellent. No reservation at all to purchase again. Only possible downside: this keyboard was thinner than my last keyboard and felt uncomfortable when it first arrived. I added about 1/4" of foam to the bottom to get similar height as my last keyboard. I am very much enjoying this keyboard and i hope this information helps the next person!

This Arteck HB192 Universal Bluetooth Keyboard was purchased mainly for use with an HP Envy Windows 10 laptop PC. Connection to Samsung phone, tablet and TV was without issue and worked well. Unfortunately, my HP Envy didn't play nice and had an erratic connection. It seems the internal Intel Bluetooth module in the PC was not compatible with this keyboard. Updating drivers did not help. However, I was provided another Bluetooth adapter (external adapter by Ugreen) which worked perfectly with the keyboard. I first had to disable the PC's internal Bluetooth module to get the Ugreen to work. The Ugreen used a generic Windows driver. With the new Bluetooth adapter this keyboard's behavior has been very stable thus far. Keyboard is low profile and light with a full compliment of keys. Switching between devices is very easy and fast by my standards. Supposedly these Bluetooth devices put out less emfs than the Wi-Fi connected devices, which is important if you place the device on your lap.

I had purchased a Dell multi-device keyboard/mouse combo for around $90. The keyboard gave out in a year and the mouse wheel is so erratic its useless. I wasn't going to spend $90 again unless I knew it would work. I found this keyboard and figured I'd give it a go because it was multidevice - thats a critical feature for me. I made this new arteck keyboard my daily driver for about a month before writing my review, and I used it all day every day during that time, and frequently switching between computers with the multi-device functionality constantly throughout the day as I actively work on 2 computers at once. I had severe problems at first, with missed keystrokes, the keyboard typing on its own, and frequent periods of 5 to 20 second lockups. I then tried the keyboard on four other computers, and did not have a lick of trouble. Not one. The thing has performed flawlessly. I'm fairly confident that there is something amis with the usb port on the first computer I used it on. I bought another one, cause this one works perfect. And because this one worked so well, I decided to try that $13 multi-device mouse made by arteck as well. I should review it when it arrives in a couple weeks. The keyboard uses aluminum or stainless steel backplate, so what would normally be a little flimsy/bendable is rock solid. To me, the keys are a little bit soft touch and I prefer a little higher pressure requirement, but I'm quite happy with this one. Reminds me a little of the apple keyboards in the feel. The multidevice feature is perfect and works flawlessly. I switch between two computers about every couple minutes, and it just 'works'. Adding built-in profiles (selectable via alt-{key}) for ios, android, windows (I use it on unix mostly, but a lot of windows too) is a great touch. The only negative I can say is that the power mode goes to standby slightly too fast for my liking. You have to hit a key to wake it up, and it takes maybe 2 or 3 seconds to respond again. It would be really helpful if the number of seconds could be set (or at least low-med-high on the delay for standby mode). Overall, I've bought a lot of worse keyboards for a lot more money than this one cost. I'm not sure it's perfect for gaming as it's not mechanical keys, but it is perfect for every day use. Love it.

Does not pair with Linux. I was able to pair it with my phone, but when I try pairing it to laptops running Linux, it always fails. I tried with two separate laptops running different distributions of Linux (Ubuntu and Arch). In every case I attempted to pair (using any of the three connections), The pairing process failed with the same error: "Authentication Failed (0x05)". Changing various bluetooth settings did not fix it. Further inspection (with btmon) showed that everything was working up to when the Linux PC advertised the pairing methods that it supports: < ACL Data TX: Handle 2048 flags 0x00 dlen 11 #31 [hci0] 29.986002 SMP: Pairing Request (0x01) len 6 IO capability: KeyboardDisplay (0x04) OOB data: Authentication data not present (0x00) Authentication requirement: Bonding, MITM, SC, No Keypresses, CT2 (0x2d) Then the device immediately after responded saying that pairing failed: > ACL Data RX: Handle 2048 flags 0x02 dlen 6 #35 [hci0] 30.076564 SMP: Pairing Failed (0x05) len 1 Reason: Pairing not supported (0x05) This is not a hardware failure. This is the keyboard explicitly telling my PC that pairing is impossible. I don't know why pairing with my phone works, and it doesn't matter. Linux's bluetooth stack follows the Bluetooth standard and I have never had an issue with any other bluetooth device before this, so if it isn't working that means this device is not compliant with the bluetooth standard As a side note, the battery status button also does nothing. Not that it really matters. I know the light works because it turns on when plugged in, but pressing or holding the button doesn't make it flash to indicate the battery level

My old Arteck 2.4ghz keyboard finally bit the dust, so I needed a new one. I saw this Bluetooth version and thought it would be great since I can pair it to my phone and iPad as well, or even my TV. Unfortunately there is a design flaw with the firmware that makes this keyboard quite annoying for screen reader users. When switching devices, the caps lock key is pressed twice upon connecting to whichever device you switched to. Normally this isn't much of an issue. The caps lock state is just toggled from one state back to the other. Add a screen reader into the mix though, and it creates quite the problem! Screen readers often use the caps lock key as a modifier. This means holding the caps lock and pressing other keys do screen reader specific functions like checking the window title, reading the current line, performing OCR on image based content and much more. Since this is the case, pressing caps lock twice quickly is what toggles the caps lock. This means that the caps lock state is changed every time I switch devices to one with an active screen reader that uses the caps lock as a modifier. I really love everything else about this keyboard. It includes the full 104 keys, typing is a breeze and the feel is really nice on a desk or even on your lap. This firmware issue is really bothersome though, so I may end up giving it to someone else that won't need to worry about this odd flaw. All in all it's a good keyboard, but screen reader users may want to look elsewhere!

Great alternative to Logitech without the high price tag, awesome battery life. When connecting via Bluetooth to multiple devices its fast with no connection issues. Only negative point is there are no legs on the back to change the height, it may sit too low for some peoples liking.

Compré este teclado hace 2 años, me funcionó super bien, los primeros meses, pero empezó a perder mucha conectividad, pensaba qe era mi computadora, hasta que vi ue me descompuso dos bluetooth de 2 diferentes computadoras, al grado qeu windows ya no los identifica como exiistentes, tuve ue desarmarlo, para lipiarlo por si algo había y está todo pegado, lo cual evita mentenimiento, tenía potencial, pero tuvo mas contras ue pros

This keyboard is very responsive and pairs easily with multiple devices. It doesn’t require frequent charging, which is a huge convenience. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charges. The keystrokes are short but have a positive, satisfying feel that makes typing comfortable. The stainless steel design feels solid and durable. TLDR: A reliable, well-built keyboard that works well across a range of devices.

Good feel to the keys. Only issue for me as a mac user as that it is win instead of command key. Small issue I can overlook for a great keyboard. Best I have ever had. Connected to 2 devices easily - mac mini and ipad mini. Remapped keys. Charged within an hour. Nice sleek design too!
