Arteck Backlit USB Wired Full Size Keyboard with Media Hotkey for PC and Laptop

I like the key feel, different color backlighting, and limited noise. Solid keyboard, especially for the price.

My second Logitech lighted keyboard developed the same ailment as the first-the wrist rest becams "sticky" after a few short years from chemical deterioration of the rubber-like material, so I began looking for a replacement. I need a lighted keyboard because my computer nook is in a dimly lit area of teh room but I didn't want a keyboard with oversized lettering (my vision is just fine for my age). I found this keyboard and the sale price was unbeatable. It's simple to use, I just plugged it in and the computer did the rest as far as setting it up. The seven colors and adjustable brightness are nice touches, I am a bit surprised that there is no actual "white" color. What was likely intended to be white is actually more "light cyan" to my eye, I'm not sure this is a defect in this particular keyboard or if it's normal. It's not a big issue, but it's worth noting if a "true white" backlight is important to you,

I almost never write product reviews so the fact that I am taking the time to write this is pretty major. I bought this keyboard about a month ago because my laptop keyboard wasn't working right (keys sticking) and I didn't want to replace the keyboard (or the laptop). This seemed like an inexpensive option so I figured what the heck. After a month of heavy use, I am so delighted! I love the feel of the keys! The little divots in them are super comfortable and the pressure (is that the right word?) when pressing them is perfect. I love how you can change the backlight colors and make them dimmer or turn them off all together. I also love the function lock key which allows you to easily toggle between primary and secondary uses. Finally, I love that the keyboard is slightly angled which is very comfortable for typing. I like it much better than the flat laptop keyboard, though I wouldn't have thought that before I got it. It did take me a couple of days to get used to the full size as I was used to the more compact laptop keyboard, but once my fingers adapted it was off to the races! I'm happily zooming through my work, and I still get a little giddy over it sometimes 😁 I ended up disabling the internal laptop keyboard and set this one right on top so I can still use the trackpad. Then I bought another one for my other laptop, which also has keyboard issues. Highly recommend this keyboard!

I replaced a mechanical RGB keyboard with this due to "click" sound reasons that annoyed my spouse. So, I just returned a great ROCCAT Vulcan 122 keyboard for this low profile RGB keyboard, and I thought I would be greatly disappointed from just owning a award-winning mechanical master piece to a budget version of a scissor switch keyboard. I have to say, after I have been playing with this for a bit I am happily surprised, the keys are somehow soft feeling yet with a tactile feel to them but without the "click" noises from a mechanical keyboard, I am very custom to these type keyboard, most people are these days since it is usually the standard issue with new computers, however, they usually don't have any type illumination to the keys so they are not great in low light settings. This keyboard has 7 colors to choose from, you can easily adjust the brightness and which color you want directly from 2 keys on the keyboard set between the right [Alt], [Ctrl] key which I accidentally hit a couple of times with my palm, for future versions maybe put those buttons either under the [Delete], [End], [PgDn] button section of the keyboard to avoid accidental hits. Not a huge issue but a side-note. Other than that, there is not much to say, so far it performs like a keyboard should, it seems to respond well to every keystroke, soft but tactile feel to the keys, firm and steady with no "wiggly" keys. The illumination is "soft" and bright enough on the lowest settings to lit up every key and it has a backlit that doesn't take over the entire keyboard if that makes sense, some keyboard have such a bright backlit it overpowers the key-lights so they drown and with all that light you still cant see the letters of the key which some people need. I don't have the muscle memory in my fingers to remember the wheree the keys are so I need to see the keys when I type or play, not a problem with this board even on the brightest setting, But really, its good enough on the lowest setting. On my keyboard though, the FN row, Win Alt Ctrl and arrow buttons seem to have less illumination than the main keys of the keyboard, not at all a problem on the bright settings but its worth noting that on the low setting they are visible but much less so. As usual the space-bar, Shift buttons has a slightly louder noise level, I have seen people commenting on that on multiple Scissor keyboards, that usually comes from the added little steel pin, that most scissor keyboards have to make those "longer" or "wider" keys "uniform," meaning it gives them a more even press, without it you risk ending up with having to make sure to press the key in the dead center for it to register the keystroke, with it you can hit the key on the edges and it will still register, makes sense? but for that reason it gives a bit of a different noise, still very quiet, just adds that little "plastic hits steel" sound. This time, absolutely no noise complaints from my spouse. It comes with a 4' cord which is plenty long if you ask me, people want ultra long cords for some reason, I sit with the screen maybe 2' away from me at all times, I see no reason to have longer cords. The cord does feel a bit cheap to me, it works but my other keyboard had this thick braided and nice cord which felt solid and like it was made with quality, this cord is thinner, feels and looks cheap and you get the feeling that this is what will fail first with this keyboard. That said, for the money you are spending on this keyboard I have to say I am surprised so far, typing and using the keyboard it feels almost as good as the $160 mechanical I replaced with this board. Even though it doesn't have any Ghosting or rollover features it responds ok in the game I play and typing, this review is all typed down with this keyboard. For $27 this keyboard is a solid choice if you can't afford a mechanical keyboard or if you like me have a spouse that gets annoyed with the "click" sounds from mechanical boards and you are looking for a quiet keyboard with some solid illumination.

Keyboard works really well and is a great buy at this price point. Had an issue with the backlight and the customer service was excellent. Quick responses and follow up. Had a replacement unit in my hands in just a few days. Definitely would buy again.

My first impressions of this keyboard are very good. The keyboard layout makes sense and all the keys are where you would expect them to be. The arrow keys are full size and easy to access. This is extremely important to me as I use the arrow keys frequently and half size keys that are crammed in between other keys on the keyboard are just to awkward to use effectively. This keyboard layout is perfect. I've been looking for a keyboard where the Fn + Arrow keys mimics the Home and End keys and was very pleased to see that this one does this. I very frequently move my cursor around documents and like to jump to the beginning or end of a line and using the Fn + Arrow keys makes this simple. It basically mimics the Fn key on my laptop where I developed my muscle memory to do this, so finding a keyboard that mimics this functionality is a huge plus for me. Also, my previous keyboard was wireless so it would eventually turn off the backlight to save power. This is very annoying and defeats the purpose of being able to see the keyboard when you need it to. Since this one is hard wired, the backlight stays on indefinitely. The dedicated backlight buttons enable me to easily change the intensity of the backlight to three different power levels and off. The keys click perfectly and are very comfortable for a touch typist. The printing on the keys is clear and both the letter and the border of the key are backlit to make it easy to see in the dark. There is a dedicated Fn Lock key that changes the top row of keys from F1-F12 to their alternate functions. Since I routinely use the F5 key to refresh my screen, I don't use the Fn Lock, but it's good to know that it exists. The only unanswered question is durability. But after using it for one day, I'm very pleased with it and give it high marks. My only wish list item that it's missing is that pressing the caps lock doesn't light an indicator on the key itself, but a cap locks light in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard. I like being able to look at the cap locks key and determine immediately whether it's on or not, so this is the only checkbox that it doesn't check, but overall, it offers great value for the money and I'm very satisfied with it.

Good quality keyboard. Nice and compact, but with full features. The backlight options are a plus, and the fact that it is dimmable as well is also another great feature. Recommended.

Overall it's a great keyboard. The back-lighting is nice and the colors are aesthetic. I bought this keyboard because the low-profile keys and hoping it would be quiet (I hate mechanical keyboards), both of which were true. The media control buttons at the top left (mute, volume, play/skip, etc) are also a nice touch and very useful. The one problem I have with this keyboard is it will stop working sometimes. The Shift button gets stuck (I think when I press too many keys at once?) and I have to restart my computer to reset it. Sometimes the keyboard will just stop responding altogether- sometimes after I try to unlock the computer, sometimes in the middle of my work. I've tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in, sticky keys, and a few other online solutions. I'm also sure it's a problem with the keyboard and not a one-off defect because I have the same keyboard and issues at work and home. I doubt it's an issue with a specific operating system either, as my home and work differ in model and OS but the problems are exactly the same. This keyboard would be 5 stars for me if it didn't stop functioning as often as it does. I rarely write reviews, but I was motivated to do so after all key function stopped in middle of my project.

Dies ist nun schon meine zweite Tastatur von ARTECK., und eine andere würde ich mir auch nicht mehr kaufen. Gerade für mich als YouTuberin ist es wichtig, dass meine Technik funktioniert und mich nicht im Stich lässt. Dazu gehören auch meine PC-Keyboards, die ich an alle Rechner habe. Zwischen meiner ersten ARTECK und der Lieferung meiner zweiten, hatte ich einige Tage eine andere Tastatur - harter Anschlag, die Tasten viel zu hoch, Buchstaben bleiben hängen, durch viel zu hohe Tasten kommt man versehentlich auf unerwünschte Neben-Tasten. Aber nicht bei DIESER! ARTECK hat sehr niedrige Tasten, so wie man es vom Laptop oder einem Notebook kennt. Dadurch ist der Anschlag sanft und sehr angenehm. Da ich stundenlang Konzepte (Drehbücher) für meine YouTube-Videos schreibe, ist es mir sehr wichtig, dass die Tastatur LEISE ist - ARTECK ist kaum hörbar (man hört lediglich meine längeren Nägel - wenn man aber kurze Nägel hat, hört man sie - unter den Alltagsgeräuschen - überhaupt nicht. Das ARTECK-Keyboard für den PC kommt mit Tastenbeleuchtung. So kann man zwischen folgenden Farben wechseln: Rot, Grün, Blau, Gelb, Magenta, (Pink-Lila), Türkis und Weiss. Dazu ist lediglich der Druck auf einer einzigen Taste notwendig, und jeder kann die Farbe wählen, die für ihn am angenehmsten ist oder die ihm Spass macht. Wenn die Tastatur auf WEISS eingestellt ist, gleicht sie einer Apple-Tastatur, was ich persönlich als sehr chick und edel empfinde. Ausserdem macht es das Arbeiten in den Abendstunden sehr angenehm, da die Beleuchtung stark genug ist, um selbst im Dunkeln arbeiten zu können. Die Stärke der Beleuchtung lässt sich zusätzlich in 3 Modi "dimmen" - leichte Beleuchtung, mittlere und helle. Die Lieferung erfolgt sehr schnell, und der Kundendienst ist einfach grossartig! Freundliche und sehr zügige Kommunikation bei Fragen oder neue Bestellungen. Fragen hatte ich keine, da die Tastatur selbstredend ist. Einfach den Kabel in den USB-Stecker des Rechners stecken, Beleuchtung aktivieren (falls man das wünscht), und legt sofort los. Keine nervige Installations-Software, keine offenen Fragen. Das ARTECK-Keyboard hat keine "Füsschen", die man hinten ausklappen muss, damit man die Tastatur erhöht - wir alle kennen diese "Füsschen" die IMMER abbrechen. Dieses Keyboard ist so konzipiert, dass sie hinten erhöht ist, so dass man im hinteren Bereich eine leichte Erhöhung von 2 cm hat. Dadurch ist sie eine sehr gelungene Mischung aus flacher Laptop-Tastatur und Erhöhung einer externen Tastatur. Ich selbst nutze sie als externe Tastatur an meine Laptops um meine Rechner zu schonen. Gerade Laptops und Notebooks haben 2 Schwächen: Die USB-Anschlüsse und die Tastaturen, die den Rechner viel schneller kaputtgehen lassen. Mit einer Länge von 43 cm und einer Breite von 11,5 cm ist sie ideal für Viel-Schreiber. Die Haupttasten (Buchstaben) haben eine Grösse von 1,5 x 1,5 cm, so dass man immer jede Taste "erwischt" und man kommt nicht auf eine unerwünschte Neben-Taste. Der Nummerische Block muss jeden Tag neu "eingeschaltet" werden, da er sich nach dem Runterfahren des Rechners automatisch abschaltet. Das wäre die einzge Änderung, die ich mir wünschen würde. Aber da dies auch nur ein Knopfdruck ist, kann ich sehr gut damit leben. Vielleicht ändert es ARTECK in der kommenden Zeit - würde mich freuen! Was ich als ebenfalls sehr wichtig empfinde, ist die Abnutzung der Tasten. Mein erstes ARTECK-Keyboard habe ich vor ziemlich genau 1 Jahr bestellt, mittlerweile habe ich 2 Stück, da ich an 2 Laptops arbeiten muss. Selbst nach "Tippen ohne Gnade" ist die Beschriftung nicht abgenutzt. Noch heute sehen die Buchstaben wie neu aus. Das schätze ich an ARTECK, da die meisten Tastaturen-Beschriftungen sich schnell abnutzen. Alles in einem kann ich diese Tastatur wärmstens empfehlen - was ich auch schon bei meinen YouTubern getan habe. Immer wieder sind Menschen von ihren Tastaturen, und deren Lautstärke beim Tippen genervt. Da empfehle ich gerne meine - ich bekomme KEINE Werbe-Gelder von ARTECK - das ist ledilich meine Überzeugung, aus persönlicher Erfahrung! Auch mein YouTube-Team ist mittlerweile mit dem ARTECK-Keyboard bestückt - und siehe da.... das ganze Team "klappert" zufrieden auf ihren externen Tastaturen - ob beruflich oder zwischendurch privat. LEISE und zuverlässig, so dass keiner von uns den anderen stört, oder von Tasten-Geklapper des anderen genervt ist. Die einzigen Geräusche bei uns ist sanfte Musik im Hintergrund und das fröhliche Lachen meines Teams. Einmal hatte ich von einer Freundin Besuch, die sich wunderte, warum mein Team "nur auf ihren Bildschirmen gucken" - nein, sie ARBEITEN - nur eben lautlos... :-))) KLARE KAUF-EMPFEHLUNG !!!!!!!

This multi-colored back-lit, low-profile keyboard is worth the price for what you get. The keys are tactile, they're tight but not stiff, and very responsive. It almost feels mechanical but much more quiet and less expensive. This keyboard would work for entry level gaming up to intermediate-level. The keyboard is laid out perfectly for my needs. My only two minor gripes is that there's no legs to raise the keyboard up higher. And the RGB lighting doesn't have a setting where the RGB slowly changes from color to color. These are minor details, as I still give this keyboard a full 5 star rating. Great little keyboard. Recommend it.

This is one of the few keyboards that maintains its black paintworks on the keys, with daily use. The numbers, letters etc are as clear today as the day I bought it more than a year ago now. The keys are not 'click' ones, but they do not wear out and fatigue my fingers either. I would add, they have not improved my spelling though :P I like the colour backlighting choices, along with brightness adjustments, I easily found the combination that suits my eyesight. I tend not to use Blue, as this can upset sleep patterns, I settled on Green. The Function controls are easy to find and use, including the media volume. The backlighting is both consistent and persistent across the whole board, as opposed to other keyboards I have used, which can give variances and are multicoloured. Not my scene. I am old school and used keyboards way before backlighting arrived. Albeit, with age, I like backlighting so I can focus properly. I originally chose a very similar product that had a aluminum frame, but could not justify the double the price of this keyboard. I am happy with my final buying choice.

バックライトが今まで使ってたものは、入力がないと自動消灯してしまうので、暗い部屋で使いたいのに不便でした。 このキーボードはバックライト点きっぱなしにできるので良いです。もちろん任意で消灯することもできます。 他のレビューで文字が光らないとありますが、ちゃんとバックライトで光ります。 キーボードの打感はノートPCのようで私は気に入っています。

※2026年3月6日現在、ボタンのレイアウトが商品説明にある写真から変更されてるので要注意です。 これまで１万円弱で購入したLogicoolのIlluminated Keyboard k740を約８年間使用していましたが ボタンがいくつか破損しかけて全体的に劣化してきたのでまだ使えてましたが早めの買い替えとなりました。 ロジクールはさすがに値段が値段だけに作りも良くて特に不満点も無かったのですが、キーボード本体サイズが 結構大きいのと土台の足がすぐにパタンと倒れてしまうのがちょっと残念でした。 今回のこちらのキーボードは全然存じないブランドだし、ロジクールと比べてかなり廉価なので心配でしたが、 実際にセットして使ってみた感触は想像以上に良かったです。コスパは相当高いです。 ロジクールと同様にパンタグラフタイプのキーボードなのでノートパソコンに近いタイピングになりますが、 ノートよりは全然ストロークもあり、タッチの感触も良くカタンカタンというよりカチッカチッという感じ。 タイプ時の音はそれなりにしますが、パンタグラフ系なのでそこもノートパソコンとほぼ同じ感じですね。 このキーボードの長所は、まず、圧倒的にイルミネーションが明るくて駒の文字もハッキリ見やすい点。 変に反射して眩しい箇所もなく、色も何種類か好みで選べるのも意外と良いです。ロジクールは白色のみで、 明るさも思ってたよりも随分暗かったですが、こちらのキーボードはかなり明るめ。勿論輝度は３段階で調整可能。 個人的に赤と青と紫は使うことはなさそう。やはり白がベストで、他に水色や黄色、緑あたりは実用的かな。 そして、もう１つ嬉しかったのは、土台(足)が固定式で若干斜度が設けられていて足には滑り止めのゴムがついてる点。 キーボード本体をズルズルと動かしても足がパタンと閉じてガタンと傾いたりしないのはストレスフリーです。 キーボードのボタンですが、よく見るとローマ字等のキーは中央が丸く凹んだタイプになっているんですが、 ファンクションキーの並ぶ最上段とスペースキーの並ぶ最下段のキーだけ丸い凸面タイプになっています。 また、冒頭にも述べたように、商品の写真にはテンキーの場所に何故かバックスペースキーがありましたが、 どうやらこれは仕様変更されてるようで、届いたキーボードのテンキー箇所からバックスペースは排除されてます。 投稿した写真を見ての通り、キーもなかなか高級感があり、タイピングも比較的すぐに慣れました。 こうなると心配なのは、あまりに安いので耐久性が気になる所ですが、メーカー保証が２年はついているので ぶっちゃけこの価格で２年以上使えたらかなり良いんじゃないでしょうか。 やや残念なのは、USBケーブルは長さもかなりあって良いのですが、脱着出来ない仕様である点くらいですかね。 ケーブルが接触不良を起こしたら本体が使えなくなりますしね。よほど動かすこともないので大丈夫だと思いますが。 また、キーピッチが他のキーボードと比べると狭いので慣れるまで苦労しそうで、実際打ち間違えが頻発してます。 というわけで、かなりオススメではありますね。３０００円足らずでこのレベルの作りはなかなか凄いです。 とは言え、ロジクールのキーボードと比べたら圧倒的にチープだし、精度はあまり高くはないので 仕事用とかには到底使えるレベルではないです。あくまで自宅でネットサーフィンする程度って話です。 ロジクールではまずあり得なかったタイプ入力ミス？が頻発します。当初はタイピングの慣れだけかと思いましたが 接触面の精度がかなり低いようです。ロジクールのキーボードでは入力ミスは自身がミスらない限りありません。
