This is a closer-up look at the i4 Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with Touchpad by Rii (Real Internet Idea). It’s an Upgrade version (2019). I’ll mainly test its Functionality on a PC. Then I will test Bluetooth pairing with an iPad Pro, iPhone and test the 2.4 Gigahertz RF USB dongle connection with an
M1 MacBook Pro and a TCL Roku TV. And test the device features such as the TouchPad and Scroll Wheel. Doing several tests such as Drawing test.
This Rii i4 Bluetooth Mini Keyboard with TouchPad is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, Smart TV Xbox and PS4. Hope some can comment if it’s compatible with Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
It has unique scrolling wheel, TouchPad DPI adjustable
Dual Mode means you can switch between Bluetooth and the 2.4 Gigahertz receiver. I’ll look closely at The buttons. The Touchpad. The press-able Scroll Wheel. The Battery. And the quick setup of the device via Bluetooth.
This updated version unit has been around since 2019, but has a previous version still out there for sale. I had been researching it before buying it. This unit is one of best seller for Rii, the company. You’ll see it has Thousands of reviews on Amazon compare to comparable units. So I wanted to give this unit a shot. - Věda a technologie
Your voice is so calm I can listen to it all day but I don't have any time 😅
Thank you for your nice compliment. :) Whenever you have time, do come back.
No kidding i was so relaxed watching the video. 😂
Thank you. Hope that was a good thing. I was trying to make sure I made things clear. I do have an accent in person. Thanks again.
Very true
Appreciate your rich review.
Thank you for your comment.
@@TossSongMy duty, thank you for your help.
should use this sentence to test all keys.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I should have thought of that. I will definitely do that for new keyboards.
Not going to lie, I've owned this thing for a while and I didn't know how to drag windows, folders, and files. Until I saw your clip regarding, drawing. Thank you for the detailed walk-through.
No problem. I’m happy this could help. Thank you for your comment.
@@TossSong thank you so much. I had exactly the same question coming into your video :-D I picked it up today and had no idea that L1 is left click as well and works for draging.
Thank you for your comment too. I’m happy this helped. Also, I didn’t think people would watch that far in the video. :)
What I just figured out on Android is this keyboard has a menu key that works to activate the menu button android used to have.
Life saver if you use old apps that need it to function.
This would be a perfect mini keyboard if it was a little bit smaller. The keys are spaced a bit too much apart and it's bigger than my phone which means I'm not carrying it around often.
Thank you for your comment. This is a great input and suggestion for android users.
Wish i knew about this before I got the wechip w1. It's a great remote but has no backlight.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, this one is a good keyboard remote. Each has pros and cons.
my keyboard doesn't connect to 2.4ghz receiver unless its right next to it. Like within an inch or two.. anything further away and it looses connection. Tested receiver with a second keyboard and it works... definitely something going on with the Tx in the keyboard. Any ideas how to fix?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I assume you have tried pulling the receiver out and back in. If yes, it’s likely defective. Also, resetting the computer, turning off the mini keyboard and back on. If all that already, it may likely be defective. Or some kind of huge interference going on. Other than all that, I wouldn’t know.
What do the Multi media functions do on the top right?
Only the sound buttons work for me, the other 3 seem to do nothing. (Used on Mac)
Hi, thanks for your comment. The 6 multi-media keys work well with PC. Bottom 3 of the multimedia: Print, Home (bring to Home Screen when using an app), and Undo. Again work on PC.
Hi, thanks for the detailed video. In my scenario I’m going to plug receiver in my tv and I’ll connect to Amazon stick by bluetooth.
Can you tell me if I can easily switch devices without unplugging dongle etc…? Maybe with a key combination like you did at initial setup.
Thank you for comment. I don’t know about how to use the Amazon stick using Bluetooth with the mini keyboard, you may have to experiment with it. But to switch to Bluetooth on the mini keyboard, Press fn+tab (while leaving the receiver in the TV). Let me know how it goes.
@@TossSong I’m going to buy the keyboard. Hopefully that’ll work. That would be perfect if I can use the same keyboard on both devices with simple keypress. Actually, if you still have the keyboard, maybe you can try it with pairing one bluetooth device and one device with usb and switch between as proposed. I’ll order it now but if you say that didn’t work that way, I can cancel my order then 😬
Hi, thanks again for your comment. It should work, switching between one device for Bluetooth and the another device for 2.4G receiver.
Very perceptive of you, Wow, good guess! I actually did sell the keyboard. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I like to review new ones (and don’t want to clutter my room since I’m a small-time YTber). :)
Is the trackpad quality good or sensitive on a sweaty hands just like other cheap wireless mini keyboard?
Hi, thanks for your comment. The quality is okay. The touchpad is not bad at all comparing to the rest of the plastics, the body, the shoulder buttons, etc. It might feel cheap to some people, but it feels somewhat durable and last.
@@TossSong thanks for the reply! Your review is really appreciated
there are so many versions that look similar.
what's the difference between
Mini Keyboard i4
Mini Keyboard X8
Mini Keyboard i8X
Mini Keyboard X8+
?
Thanks for your comment. I only know that “i4” is the latest version (2019 version). They haven’t yet made one after that, not that I know of from my research.
As for the “x8+” I’m going to guess that they made some improvements (bug fixes) over the “x8”. As for the “ix8” is the oldest according Amazon. I don’t know why they named them like that, they all are made in China.
OK, but what is the little tiny? Dot below the spacebar
Thanks for commenting. I’m not even sure. Could it be for small screw to open up it up?
What's the short cut key for screenshots on linux? There's no print screen key.
Thanks for reaching out. There is no key combination on the Rii i4. On Linux, you may have use some screenshot utility. Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with Linux, sorry.
@@TossSong Yeah. I have to go and open it manually.
I see. Yeah, the mini keyboard is pretty limited. Wishing for newer and improved one.
This same model nowadays comes with USB-C, at least from Ali.
Hi, thanks for your comment. I’m happy that they are moving on from micro-usb to C. My new Rii K06 also got the USB-C port, I’m very glad.
Also, I just got one recently and it is USB-C
I would like one too! I have to look into that.
where can we buy that magnetic charging cable?
Thanks for your comment. I got it from Amazon. There are several brands, just search “magnetic charging cable” and you’ll find them.
@@TossSong thx a lot
Is it better than x8?
Hi thanks for your comment. I would say yes, if you want to connect to a mobile phone and using it with Bluetooth. Other than that they both have the same functionality. Form factor would be something to consider, whichever to you more preferable.
How can I scroll right like on Netflix
Hi, thanks for your comment. Have you tried two-finger gesture? Slide from the center to the right (or try left). Let me know. Or try hold down the FN key + the gesture. Let me know. Thanks.
gaming?
Thanks for your comment. I’m sure I can be used for gaming, as long as the games required keyboard use. I haven’t tried it. It would be interesting to see those who use it for gaming to comment here.
yours sounds really clunky. Mine feels really solid
Yes, this keyboard could be made by another company that imitate/copy one another. Or made it for cheaper manufacturing.
touchpad looking real slow and laggy
I agree. It feels like it because of its tiny size touchpad.
el único defecto es que no pueden hacer zoom en multimedia ni nada.
Yes, true. No zooming in or out with the touchpad, unfortunately. I think because it’s too small.
