Gosin® Ultrathin All in One Metal Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Touchpad for Windows Android iOS, 2ND Generation of Updated Version (White/Golden)

Update, December 2017: Passed away completely, for no clear reason, lost half of its functionality, ending up in the bin, down to one star. Replaced with a more expensive keyboard, the  Rapoo | E6700-W Bluetooth Touchpad Keyboard - WHITE / Blade Series , which is the best Bluetooth keyboard I have ever owned.Update, Tue May 9, 2017: Massively unclear to me why so many have a hard time with this keyboard - Bluetooth drivers for laptops, those included by laptop and tablet manufacturers, and those from Microsoft, have a timeout set. This is specifically to reduce power requirements on battery devices and laptops, and in order to mitigate problems with Bluetooth devices you need to go into "Device Drivers", find and check all Bluetooth drivers (which are all over the place - some keyboard drivers are in HID devices) and turn off the timeouts under "power savings". It is really as simple as that, it isn't the device, it is Windows (and, Lord knows, other OS's).Original Review: I am going to have to update this, as I did not notice the touchpad on this keyboard has no buttons! I don't intrinsically have a problem with that, and as I research the technology I understand there are trackpad / touchpad shortcuts that have been around for years but studiously ignored by yours truly, so now I am in process of using my old 1-by-one keyboard, due to be relegated to "backup", to "hybrid learn" to use a touchpad without buttons. There isn't anything you can't do that way, I know that now, it is just a matter of retraining an aging engineer. The touchpad is nice and large, the keyboard is sturdy, metal casing, Bluetooth-pairs easily, no complaints, other than that I didn't look at the description carefully enough. But then, learning new tricks is good for the brain, so I am not complaining, I'll come back and update this, including some more on hoe long it takes me to "become fluent" in the no-button IT-verse... Got here quick, works fine, so no reason not to give it four stars.

While this keyboard is very attractive, it has connectivity issues that make it impossible to recommend.On both my iPad and a Windows 10 machine the keyboard would go to sleep randomly and not work for a period of time. The remedy was turning the keyboard on and off or just waiting for it to come back to life when it wanted. I wanted something reliable for my media center pc and this is far from reliable. Going to returnPros:Nice lookTrackpad gestures work wellThin and lightEasy initial pairing with devicesCons:Bluetooth connectivity...the most important aspect of a Bluetooth only device.

The key spacing is slightly smaller than a normal keyboard. Touchpad works great with many options so it can function more like a mouse. This device requires a bluetooth usb adapter  Kinivo Kinivo Btd-400 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter - for Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Vista  bought seperately if you use it on your computer. The user manual doesn't have much info. If you buy this and half the keys are stuck in function mode, hold the 'Fn' button down while pressing the 'Ins NumLk' key to make the keyboard type normal. The user manual didn't say this and my keyboard was stuck in Function mode right out of the box. This keyboard is so tiny, it slides ride under my  HP Envy 24 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor , leaving my desk area completely open.

I love this keyboard. It is very thin and lightweight, but all metal so it is very durable. I have had no problems connecting it to any of my devices, and so far i have used it on my windows 10 laptop, a windows 10 pocket pc and my Galaxy s5 phone. It works like a dream on all devices. Shipping was also much faster than I anticipated, as I was advised that it would come from China and take about a month when I placed my order, but it arrived with my Prime items 2 days after placing my order. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. I'm probably going to order another one very soon!

This bluetooth keyboard has been collecting dust on my desk, I was hoping to hear back from anyone at Gosin who have a 100% guarantee to not give you a way to contact them and no way to fix the timer issue on the keyboard. They would not take it back without shipping charge which is very costly comparing to the product cost.Other than that it looks real nice and it functions really well while it's connected. Not worth it until there is a fix.

The keyboard is unusable. I'm experiencing the same lost connectivity that others are. The typing on the keyboard is OK (the space bar feels a little shallow), and the trackpad is usable (it's not Apple quality, but for short durations, it gets the job done). However, the keyboard will suddenly lose connectivity, meaning you won't be able to do anything for about 3 seconds until it reconnects. Very annoying. I have another bluetooth keyboard, and this does not happen.

I wanted to like it as it was one of the few keyboards with an attached touchpad to keep my desk clear an uncluttered. However, the touchpad isn't as sensitive for one of the few common gesture I do use which is swiping up and down for scrolling a web browser. Basically I had to scroll about an inch before the gesture recognition kicks in to recognize that I'm trying to scroll the page. But even I was willing to put up with that except for the fact that it sporadically appears to go into sleep mode as it becomes unresponsive in the middle of use. I either had to tap a few random keys for it to wake back up or even toggle the on/off button. In the end after about a month I went and bought myself a new keyboard and mouse.

This keyboard has been working great with Windows and Android. Most keyboards this size don't have a right-shift key or have it out of place. If you know how to type correctly you will probably like this one because it has 2 shift keys. The split keyboard takes a little getting use to but since I use the mouse ambidextrously, I prefer the touch pad in the center. It does go to sleep after a minute or 2. Turn it off and back on and it connects right away. I haven't had to re-pair my devices.
