A Generic But Quality Wireless (Bluetooth) Keyboard. "K1280" A Critical Review. This wireless, keyboard "K1280" is a good quality wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard that works well with Windows and The Mac and with the Android OS, but you'll have to make some adjustments. *** Inspection *** The K1280 looks identical to the Apple wireless keyboard. In fact, from a design standpoint, it is an exact clone, right down to the spacing of the keys. And, when I say identical, I mean walking around my work area for a couple of weeks and thinking that I'm picking up my Apple keyboard only to discover that I'm picking up this device. (see video) The device, however, is different in a few cosmetic ways. First, the device is almost entirely plastic but beautifully painted in an aluminum-silver color, where as the Apple is made from a brushed aluminum. The K1280 runs on 2 AAA batteries and the backside has about a 1.5" incline. This is actually more comfortable for me to type on for longer periods than the Apple, which has a slightly lower incline. The keys are responsive, albeit a slight bit jiggly but nothing near feeling cheap. *** Function *** Windows/Mac After a couple of minutes to setting up and syncing to the computer, all of the functions of the keys work precisely as it should. And, you do notice that the keyboard is very lightweight. I find this idea for packing and using it with my laptop, tablet and smartphone. Android* I have a Sprint Evo 3D running Android 2.3/ Bluetooth 3.0. I was particularly interested in how it work with Android because there are times when the touch feature on the smartphone or tablet just isn't practical when there's an alternative. And, I'm specifically referring to using an office suite. The 1st keyboard I ordered, I thought may have been defective because although most of the keyboard features worked, the "Cap lock" and the "Direction Keys" didn't. A replacement came a few days later and the issues were identical. After some investigations, I discovered an issue NOT with the keyboard itself but with The Android OS. The features DO work but because Google has Android as an open-source OS, there isn't a universal (i.e. "standard") coding that is given to all hardware and 3rd party developers. So, some products will work well with "this" device or "that" program and not others. This seems to be where the issue is resolved with the Cap Lock and Direction Keys issue. To get around this, if you have a similar device or issue-- The Cap lock function is found by toggling the SHIFT key and the Direction Keys are essentially the opposite given so the left/right are the up/down and vice-versa. *** Conclusion *** Considering the cost versus value and throw in versatility and convenience, this is really a spectacular buy. I have two (2) wireless Apple remotes and a Verbatim wireless keyboard and mouse and this keyboard has almost the best of both. So, wireless Bluetooth keyboard "K1280" 4.5 stars.
