Works well but Backspace key hangs on all 5 units I've purchased.
This is a darned good keyboard with ONE consistent manufacturing defect. All five units purchased through Amazon (going back to 2019) have an annoying problem, the backspace key hangs. Thinking it was a bit of plastic flashing I broke out my X-Acto with #11 blade but there's nothing to trim, nor any visible reason for this key to hang - but - it does. Grrrr!Otherwise, love the keyboard. not the best keystroke feel but acceptable. The texture of the touchpad is nice but over time rubs smooth. Not a deal breaker but I kind of wish the feel lasted longer.But I do hate the darned backspace key sticking. Honestly, this is a nuisance. And one, which I would have expected Adesso to have long ago corrected. But over the course of three years and five purchases, they all do it . . . every single one.I hate this enough I would never buy another Adesso product - except - nobody else makes a full size keyboard with numeric keypad! But if they did it would be sayonara Adesso forever because a keyboard company that doesn't care enough about a sticking key - over the course of three years - simply isn't deserving of my money.In the meantime, and in the absence of a competitor, then I have no choice but to recommend this product because other than this one issue, it's great for use in the living room with a laptop routed to the 70" television for me to work from (bad back means the La-Z-Boy for most surfing and light productivity).4 stars that would be 5 if they were to correct this manufacturing defect.

Overall great product!
Quick response: Great product but getting a 4 out of 5 because of the 15ft range and only taking 2 AAA batteries. Please read on for full details.Like almost all wireless keyboards, setup was very easy. I simply installed the batteries, plugged the USB wireless adapter, and it did its own thing. It was up and running in about 10 seconds.The size and look of the keyboard are AWESOME! Exactly the same width and weight as a standard keyboard but thinner and you have the mouse added. Other wireless combo keyboards (wireless keyboard, mouse pad, and 10key setup) in the same price range were much more bulky. It's got a nice gloss black finish with chrome trimming, the classic combo.What I'm noticing, as I type this, is the backspace button has a little "play" on it so when you strike/press it, it makes a loose clanking sound. The other buttons are quiet and no abnormal sounds. Regardless, the buttons are very reactive. The "Fn" (function) buttons all work well and are very reactive as well.The mouse speed had to be readjusted to the fastest setting so that I didn't have to keep lifting my finger to make it from one side of the screen to the other. The adjustment did help but I wish I could get further across with the one swipe. The pointer is precise and moves well with my movement. I did try another keyboard with the same setup (wireless keyboard, mouse pad, and 10key setup) and found that the pointer would flicker across the screen and would make it difficult for precise pointer placement to small buttons or check boxes. The mouse pad scroll works well too. It does not give you the expand screen swipe option (similar to smart phone touch screens) but you can still press the ctrl button and use the scroll option to expand/decrease the screen.The range of the keyboard is fair. I use the keyboard approximately 10 feet away from the computer and I don't have any issues; however, I found the range to be about 15ft with the wireless adapter installed on the back of the computer and not the advertised 30 ft (this was the same with the other keyboard I tried). I'm sure I'd get more range if I would switch the adapter to the front of the computer but that's not what I like.The one thing I am concerned with is the fact that this keyboard only takes two AAA batteries so I'm assuming the battery life may not be all that great, especially since both the mouse and the keyboard are using the same set of batteries. I will definitely keep an eye on this and will provide an update in a month or so.Overall, a GREAT keyboard for the money and couldn't be happier with this purchase.I hope this review helps.

Best currently available for my purposes
I am primarily using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MFLBBK in my living room setups for HTPCs. Alas, these have stopped long since to be available, have some problems with hangups on windows 10, and do not work with keyboard hotkeys on switchers such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJEDKAO. The newer Logitech RF keyboards (K400 / K830) are IMHO all too small to nicely sit solid on legs or in the lap for me, and its impossible to rest the right hand comfortably on the boarder of the keyboard and reach the mousepad.For my purposes, this keyboard solves my requirements best from what i see available today. no win 10 problems, keyboard hotkeys on switcher works, the size is right (large) and the mousepad can be reached ok. Of course, the keyboard layout of the old logitech PS3 keyboard would be best IMHO. Who needs the numeric keypad ;-)battery live not well explored by seems decent. On/Off switch on top would of course be better yet. Did i mention the old logitech PS3 keyboard was great ? ;-)Edit 2023: I misplaced the RF dongle for one of these keyboards. I am happy to report that Adesso was able to sell me a working replacement dongle for $14. It is also now listed on the Adesso web page. Translation: Not cheaply imported, non-supported product, but well supported!
