I bought this product to use with a Gigabyte Brix GB-BACE-3150, and it's just a pleasure to use. It's a pleasure to use, even when going into the bios. The keypad is a bit clunky but works perfectly and the multimedia keys are very handy (especially the "OK" button). I would recommend it for a HTPC, Raspberry, etc. The material is very pleasant to the touch, does not feel like hard plastic.
For a few euros more, I think I should have taken the i8+ version with the backlight.
Bought it a year ago and it's still working properly.
I don't abuse it, but it's used regularly.
It makes it much easier for me to search on platforms like Netflix and others when I have to write.

Getting started.
Thanks to its compact size, this keyboard is perfect for the use I had in mind, which consisted of controlling a micro-computer coupled to the TV from the sofa.
It's a little tricky to get used to, but you soon get the hang of it, although the touchpad sensitivity setting isn't very convincing.
A very good product.

Excellent
This is the second one I've bought, not quite the same as the first (which I use at home). This one's for work.
All the standard PC keys are available, and recognised on the systems I use: various Linux distributions (I don't use Windows at all).
The touch is pleasant and, even with my big fingers, I don't hit next to or on 2 keys. Like Coluche's schmilblick, it fits comfortably in your hand.
The battery life is top-notch (in fact I don't know what the actual battery life is, because I never got to the end of it, even after hours of use (not continuous use). The switch to really turn off the keyboard/trackpad prevents it from draining itself.
The trackpad is sensitive but not overly so, and you can use 1, 2 or 3 fingers to scroll, zoom, etc. Given the size of the whole thing, the trackpad is quite small, but sufficient.
The only drawback I find is the way you open the hatch that gives access to the battery and receiver storage. It's very hard to open, and I'm afraid that in the long run you'll have to play with the tape (unlike the first one, where you can open it with a fingernail). Especially as this keyboard is very nomadic and so I take the receiver out and put it away quite often.

Very disappointed
6 months after purchase, the letters AQW no longer work. Very surprised by the small size, not very practical for typing long texts.

In use on a media centre. Fabulous little keyboard, very practical and efficient. LDLC, always at the top for delivery and service.

Excellent product
Lightweight, economical (battery + long life). Extremely easy to install (true plug & play) and responds like a dream.
If you are looking for a light and functional combo for a living room box (video/music), this is perfect.

NO MANUAL IN FRENCH
Pre-recorded answer to my remark: "our technical service remains at your disposal to help you". I would prefer the legislation to be respected and to provide with the product a notice in French

Very disappointed with this keyboard, does not work on Shield TV within 1 meter.
I bought this keyboard to work with a SHIELD TV. It connects well, but the working distance is less than 1 meter (advertised as "Working range: up to 10 meters." on the website).
Very disappointing for use in a living room or as a remote control.

Ultra practical
This keyboard (with integrated touchpad) is very practical.
It is very small and fits everywhere. The USB receiver has a nice place in the keyboard next to the battery.
All keys are present, including the Windows key.
The switch is very handy when you have this keyboard in a backpack to avoid it turning on when you don't need it. I haven't tested the range but at 2 or 3 meters from the receiver it works perfectly. No need for a special driver, so it's ideal for an HTPC because it's even recognized in the BIOS.
I'm very happy with it because it's a very good device and I'm not sure where it's going to be used.
In short, I am very satisfied with it for the use I have.

Good device overall
This keyboard is quite nice with a fairly clean design. However, the product does look cheap when you hold it in your hand but that's not a big deal.
I note a few points that make it lose some points:
- no Google Assistant shortcut
- the keyboard layout does not exactly match the classic FR layout
- the pad is a bit small but quite responsive
In short, it's a good buy for 25€ ;)

Works very well
I use it connected to a RaspberryPi 4 (Raspbian). Works very well.
The wireless range is not great depending on the position of the dongle in relation to the keyboard.

Very practical and not too bulky, the only thing missing is the backlighting available on another model in the range.

Functional but small
Connected to a Raspberry with OpenElec. Works without problems.
However the ergonomics of this keyboard is limited by its size.
Perfect for an OpenELEC remote control.

Simply super practical!
Great product...
I'm a Mac user and no configuration is required. Simple but very practical. Very good manufacture for the price. The trackpad, although small, is perfect. I use it as a mouse when my standard is charging, as a remote control, as a gamepad and nothing to complain about.

Easy and cheap
I took it as a replacement for a Logitech diNovo Mini.
The Rii Mini 8 is much cheaper and almost as nice to use.
My only complaint is that the touchpad in the middle lacks a bit of sensitivity (changeable in the pointer options in Windows), which forces you to stretch your thumb to use it (the diNovo Mini's touchpad was on the right side to make it easier to hold): using it for several hours becomes a bit painful.
I'd give it half a point for this ergonomic weakness. Otherwise, for a not too intensive use, it's very good. The typing is quite fast.
The proof: I typed all this text with the Rii Mini i8 and without effort!

Good product quality/price
Purchased for an Intel Compute Stick (BOXSTCK1A32WFC).
Nothing negative, works fine under Windows10 and was well recognised under bios/upgrade.
No grip problems, handles very well for 2 handed use.
For the price you don't expect a perfect product here it does the trick.
I'd like to know who put the "m" key here?

Good product! Very good autonomy
I bought it because we have a TV and a pc as a media centre at the end of the bed.
It's great except for the oddly placed M button as mentioned in another comment.
It's a great tool to use as a gamepad, but you need long fingers to use the pad at the same time.
It's a good idea to put it on your thigh and use the pad like a laptop.
I've had it since the end of February, we're in mid-May, I've only charged it twice, so it's great autonomy, I didn't expect so much! I've been using it every day from late afternoon to late evening.
It is recognized even when windows is not started to access the bios or to boot on a key etc... Great!
A backlight, even very light and it would have been perfect!
Satisfied, then !

Very good value for money
I use it for interactive presentations.
Very good product, responsive, but requires a little bit of handholding (especially the oddly placed M key).
Recognition under Windows is quick and easy, the range is very good (frequently used at 8 meters), the ergonomics and texture are good.
