Bluetooth 4.0 Chicklet Keyboard

We got this because my wife wanted a keyboard that felt like her Surface Laptop 3 keyboard, which is a great keyboard for a chicklet-style ultrabook keyboard. And we got it despite its price ($99!) and complaints about it disconnecting often (it's Bluetooth 4). But my wife has noticed no disconnection problems; the device feels like it may actually be worth $99 (not quite, but close) and the keyboard is almost as good as the one on the Surface Laptop 3. Not bad! Even I like using it (though I prefer keyboards with longer key travel and higher activation force).

I bought Waves NX Head Tracker to use it with Logic Pro X in a Mac Pro Mid 2010 OS El Capitan and Bluetooth 2.1 I needed Bluetooth 4.0, so I bought this StarTech adapter. Plugged into my computer, but it was not recognized as BT 4.0. Then I downloaded Hardware_IO_Tools_for_Xcode_7.3.dmg, and installed Bluetooth Explorer in the Applications folder. Opened it, Tools menu and choose HCI Controller Selector, I clicked at the arrows and selected Broadcom Corp and clicked Activate. Done My computer recognized the StarTech adapter as Bluetooth 4, and I was able to use my excellent Waves NX Head Tracker.

Mini USB Bluetooth® 4.0 Adapter is a fantastic product! Better working range than other Bluetooth receivers/transmitters. Works great with Sony MDR-10R after checking ALL of the configuration for USBBT1EDR4. You MUST install ONLY the last version of the CSR Harmony software; if you have an older version installed, you MUST uninstall the older version first. The new version unfortunately does not include drivers for all of the older transmitters and you can't have more than one version installed at the same time. I highly recommend this product.

Read the fine print. This uses Bluetooth LE, and that requires an iPad3 or better. After wondering why it didn't work with either iPad2 here, I found that tidbit (which I had missed) in the fine print, hemmed, hawed, and opted to upgrade the iPad side of the system. It is a quality product, which on the one hand seems quite pricey for what is effectively a 2 button bluetooth keyboard, but on the other hand is much better made than whatever I might kludge up from a cheaper bluetooth keyboard with many more keys. The keys are lit, soft, and silent, and the device is considerably more affordable than some others in its niche - and with the keys on top, not over the edge, it works fine on carpets (some reviews indicate that is a weakness of some competing devices.) For hands-free page turning it really is ideal. Intended for foot operation, it is a bit larger than you'd expect from the pictures.

This keyboard works well with my Dell laptop. Easy Bluetooth connectivity.

Great BFF acklit keyboard that doesn’t require Bluetooth.

Would definitely purchase again. The Bluetooth is very quick unlike previous keyboard cases I've used.

I'm happy with it. Small... about size of keyboard on my 13 Macbook. Bluetooth works fine and got rid of the extra wire on desk. I expect the portability to come in handy.

love the touch and feel of this super compact bluetooth keyboard; it's the BEST
