Ergonomic Bluetooth Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - Great with Android and PC's
I have 2 other Bluebyte keyboards. Neither of those has a numeric keypad. My prior good experience with Bluebyte keyboards and the numeric keypad were the reasons I wanted to give the BKB-6145S a try. My other Bluebyte keyboards have held up well and have excellent battery longevity but, as I mentioned, no numeric keypad.The first thing I noticed about the BKB-6145S was its weight. While physically larger than my other keyboards, the BKB-6145S weighs only 281 grams, while each of my BKB-6063S weighs 304 grams (all with 2 AAA batteries installed in each). Not a plus or minus for me since I'm not an aggressive typist who pushes his keyboard around the desktop or a lapdesk or mobile keyboard user who carts it around everywhere.The next thing I noticed was the slope of the keyboard -- it's less angled/steep than the others I'm used to using. This means that all but the top row of keys are higher than those of the BKB-6063S keyboards. Having said that, I don't expect too much difficulty adjusting.The third thing I noticed was the Caps and Num LEDs. It's nice having these indicators. (If lit when the bluetooth connection times out, they turn off, conserving battery power.)The typing experience itself is also a bit different than I'm used to. The subtle contouring of the keycaps probably contributes to the improved typing comfort. Another difference is acoustical: typing on the BKB-6145S is pleasant and slightly louder than my other Bluebyte keyboards. I actually like the reassurance of sound in my keyboards.I tested the BKB-6145S keyboard first by pairing it to my Samsung Galaxy A (2016) tablet (Android 8) on F1 and Samsung J7 phone (Android 6) on F2. All keys worked perfectly. As a simple distance test, I tried typing with the phone in a different room (20 feet away), again working perfectly (even with voltage about 1.30 volts each).I paired my new BKB-6145S to a dongle for one of my BKB-6063S using a re-pairing procedure for the USB dongle (F3) mode. (Now I can use either keyboard on the same PC.) Distance, I found, was limited to about 10 feet (for both keyboards), however.Battery life: I've only had my BKB-6145S for 10 days, but I'm always anxious to estimate battery life. I've had keyboards that waste batteries by failing when their batteries still have high charges that easily run other devices. So this time I "accelerated" battery testing by installing used alkaline batteries during the evaluation period that had already been drained down to 1.30 volts each. After 10 days and my normal (admittedly light use) but with the battery switch always in the "on" position, the voltage was still measuring 1.30 volts in each battery.A note on batteries: You'll see that some keyboards (especially Bluetooth keyboards) are rechargeable while others, like the Bluebyte BKB-6145S, use 2 disposable AAA batteries. In products where disposable batteries last for several months, or even a year or more, rechargeable batteries make little sense to me. Aside from the inconvenience of recharging frequently (or reducing battery and product life by always recharging), there's the probability that once those rechargeables lose that rechargeability, your device will be inoperable. The life expectancy of rechargeable batteries: 2 to 5 years. After that, throw the whole thing away (rechargeable batteries are rarely replaceable, except, sometimes, at impractical expense). That's not the case with devices that use replaceable batteries -- where you throw away the batteries and not the device. It's called "planned obsolescence" people. If you have something that you like and it serves you well, you want to decide when you'll stop using it, as opposed to being forced by the designers to replace it after a component (battery) failure when They think you should replace it to serve Their purposes.Update: After 3 weeks, I noticed a Print Screen function on the BKB-6145S's "del" key. This is a much welcomed feature. I haven't tried it on a Windows PC yet, but I have tried it on my Samsung, Android 8 tablet, and it works perfectly. I've only had this feature before on a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard I've used previously, and I really appreciate having it again on my everyday keyboard.

Not built well; does not hold up under routine business use.
The keyboard is flimsy and not made well. Three keys important keys broke off after 10 months and the keyboard is longer usable. Frustrating that I am looking for another keyboard less than 1 year after purchase. I am also starting to notice that products labeled, "Amazon's Choice" are often poor quality and should be avoided.Amazon, do a better job vetting products for endorsement or application of the "Amazon's Choice" label.

Sleeps too easily and doesn't wake quickly
Other than the sleep issue I'm typing on it now. It does work.

Super Compact and Lightweight
I ordered this keyboard three weeks ago because I wanted something flatter that would allow me to type easily with long nails. This keyboard was cost effective and it exactly what I wanted. It's very small and light weight so it is easy to move and doesn't take up much space on my desk. It functions much like a laptop keyboard, which is what I'm used to.The only negative is that it did not come with batteries. Overall, great product.

Value for money
A very ergonomic and easy to use keyboard, especially for MAC users. Great connectivity through bluetooth (it needs it's little USB transmitter to work)

You get your money's worrth.
I feel like this keyboard is well priced and for the longest time was the least expensive keyboard with a numpad on it. LUCKILY more bluetooth keyboards came out and also featured a Numpad. For a long time, the black one was my go-to, exact same keyboard but in black.Pros:-Keyboard with numpad. I use the numpad a lot. So, it was worth it to find one with one.-Price: as I said, for the longest time this was the most inexpensive option with a numpad.-Layout and typing. I am not a mechanical keyboard elitest, so it types well. Logical key layout, no weird quirks like swapping the left control key with the function key, that some keyboards do. Decent gap between the alphabet side and the numpad so you don't accidentally overshoot the backspace/enter or whatever.-the USB 2.4GHz receiver has a very neat Logitech like trick and I have NEVER seen another keyboard do this that uses those receivers; ONE receiver will power multiple of the same keyboards off of it. Or at least two as I just found out. Also, it's nice that this slightly differentiates itself from other generic receivers by having a strip of red at the bottom. As someone who has about 20 of these receivers, it's nice when someone comes along and does something to make it easier to figure out what receiver goes with what product. And since this can power two keyboards off of one receiver it means that if you lose one, and still have another, that receiver will just work. They're all encoded the same. REALLY is a headache saver.Cons:-It's built cheap, it's super light and hollow.Conclusion:I like this keyboard a lot; types well, the 2.4GHz receiver has a good set of features to it, bluetooth is good, batteries last decent length (not overly impressive, but middling stamina). I recommend it, if you're looking for budget. Though, there are options ever so slightly cheaper out now with BT 5.0, backlighting, and built in battery.

Unreliable, broke before the first set of batteries ran out
It just stopped working - some keystrokes didn't get recorded at all, others got recorded 50 times over.No spillage or anything, just shoddy.
