Vilros 15 Inch USB Keyboard with Touchpad-Great For Raspberry Pi

Pros: Keyboard is well made yet light Not too big or too small, but right in the Goldilocks zone for a mobile keyboard Happily without numpad (for those who don't need one) Ledge is molded into underside so it sits at an angle without having to flip out little feet that can break Touchpad is smooth to the touch and responsive, eliminating need for separate mouse DEL key is in the right spot at the top right, instead of misplaced like on many other keyboards Keys presses are comfortable with nice travel, and keys quickly bounce back, not mushy or 'hard' USB wired so 100% reliable, even in GRUB reboots or other situations where networking is not loaded Generous USB cable length of 5 ft Plug and play Perfect for using with mini PC, Raspberry Pi, etc, or as a mobile keyboard for field work Cons: Not backlit This little keyboard not only ticked every box, it does everything well. I have never seen such a responsive touchpad on a mobile keyboard. I'm very happy with everything about it, with the exception of it not being backlit (like with soft blue) for working in low light, but that would be the cherry on top, and as it is, I never in a million years expected to find the exact kind of keyboard I was searching for. So no stars deducted! So many mobile keyboards have numpads and are too big, others are like toys and too small. Then there are a myriad of layouts depending on how many keys, and none were what I was looking for. Choices become even narrower when looking for one with a touchpad! Was not planning to spend $34 (with coupon that's what I paid) - was looking to spend less. But when I saw it I couldn't believe it. Worth every penny and highly recommended! For a mobile keyboard could not ask for more. Will be picking up a spare to tuck away just in case it should disappear off the market!

Very nice little keyboard. Probably the most solid membrane keyboard I've had. The body is metal and nice and heavy. Feels very well built. The trackpad and mouse buttons also feel great. The keys feel great. Sound is reasonable. This is the perfect addition to my cnc setup, allowing me another point of control. Works great. Perfect size. It even has a function key which seems to be becoming rare. If there is one downside, it's that there is no stand to adjust the angle but I am not missing it.

Got this for use with a Raspberry Pi 5 microcomputer that I’m using for development of an AI Home Assistant. Wanted to replace a separate full size keyboard with mouse that is just overkill for what I’m doing with this setup. This keyboard is perfect. I guess I wasn’t expecting such good build quality. This thing feels bulletproof. Low profile keys with a full size layout makes typing easy. The entire thing is only 14-3/4” long by 5-1/8” tall and just 5/8” thick, so it is very compact for storage. The touch pad on the right with 2 mouse buttons works great, eliminating the need for a separate mouse and a place to use it. It was completely plug-n-play compatible with my Raspberry Pi, needing no extras to connect and start working perfectly. The cord is 5ft long, which is a lot more than I need, but it’s thin enough to be easily coiled up with a Velcro strap for cable management. If I were to have a complaint, it’s the fact that the cord exits the top just on the right side with a molded strain relief that requires you to have about a 1/2” of clearance in front of the keypad. Not a significant deal, but something to consider depending on how you’re going to mount or store this in a fixed configuration.

Perfect tool for the job. No complaints. Small, light, portable, functional, and inexpensive. I use it when setting up new PCs and the mouse/keyboard means I just plug one thing in and go.

The keyboard does what it should, for the most part. I've discovered that the ctrl buttons you really have to press down on (ctrl+c and ctrl+v to copy paste for example will VERY frequently not do the copy and/or paste due to the ctrl key scenario). Typing on it is perfectly fine. I was expecting the touchpad, which is much smaller than I expected and has physical buttons like older touchpads, to be very annoying, but its actually not all that bad...its the buttons that are taking getting used to again. That being said, gesture control does work for Windows with this keyboard, so you can still do the 1 finger to select something, 2 fingers for the context menus, etc without having to use the buttons. This is what I would technically consider a 5 star keyboard, but that ctrl key "issue" bites me like 100 times a day while working at the moment (which to be fair, I will likely get used to over time and adjust my typing for it), so put 4 stars. I would for sure buy another. Using this with Windows 11 on a mini desktop at the moment...

Very solid and sturdy construction, heavier than your average keyboard. The good quality of the materials stands out. I guess it will last several years. I have a computer repair shop, and this keyboard is very useful since it only requires a USB port, and by providing field support you can use both keyboard and mouse without the need for a table, just on your knees. The wired USB connection is also more stable and reliable than the wireless version, especially on older computers, and you don't risk forgetting the little receiver (I've seen that before). The only strange thing is that this keyboard has an LED indicator for the Scroll-lock function, but NO KEY TO ACTIVATE IT! Although this function is really very rare, and I think it can be easily replaced with the two-finger gesture. In general terms it is a very good purchase, I can recommend it.

These things are extremely low quality and prone to breaking. I've bought two and both units failed in under 6 months. They have a nice weight, connect easily, and are very functional when they work. Unfortunately, they have almost no longevity and are extremely unreliable.

I had a Logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad combo for the past 8 years and it worked (mostly) fine. This keyboard however blows past that in terms of key feel and ergonomics. I can type more accurately and faster. It also fixes two of the most annoying issues with my old logitech keyboard: - The wireless keyboards (bluetooth or not) tend to drop connection once in a while. This can become extremely annoying as it pops out of nowhere and causes rrrrreepeated keystrokes and jumpy mouse. - The trackpad on my logitech would stop working at a slight dampness. So if I just washed my hands and did not dry them 100%, I would have to clean both my hands and the pad in order for it to work. This keyboard does not have that problem. I can wipe it down with a damp cloth and the trackpad works like a champion. 5 stars overall. Two minor complaints: - Logitech keyboards have the left mouse click button on the left side of the keyboard as well (above Esc key). This comes in pretty useful for two-handed mouse action. Alas, this keyboard does not have it. - The USB wire could have been a little longer but it can be solved by a wire extender.
