Side by Side Comparison of: Jelly Comb vs Aula

Overall I'm very happy with this one. It's simple, the keys feel very good, and everything works the way you'd expect it to pretty much without reading the instructions (though those are readable and helpful). The learning curve for key placement was very short. It's cramped as you'd expect but the key travel and nice firm presses make it competitive with my expensive laptop's keyboard (I keep my laptop on a stand to reduce eye, neck, and back strain). The colors are pretty without being obnoxious; I love that you can pick the color and brightness; it's one of those features I didn't know I wanted until I tried it. However, I also wish that the keyboard would remember the last color/brightness setting when I turn it off and then back on again.The size and weight are fantastic-- any laptop bag at all and most tablet bags will have plenty of room to squeeze this in. The body of the keyboard has a raised area at the top and in the corners. No effect whatsoever on comfort, but it means that when you stow the keyboard you do so with the keys facing inwards towards your tablet or laptop and that lip protects the keys from bumps and jostles in your bag. It's a very nice touch. Durability seems very good so far.Usability is good, too. As I said, the learning curve was very short. Power management is very good; great battery life and yet the keyboard isn't annoying about going into sleep mode. Some very smart timing settings on that. Wake-up takes a second or two but since it's so smart about when it goes to sleep in the first place, this works out just fine.One issue I have had is the placement of the function key; it's where you'd expect on a windows box to have the Control key. Swapping that and Control would have been smarter-- it's how most laptops do it. Also in windows mode, the Alt and Windows keys are swapped. I like that the Mac mode keys are right where you expect them, but there's no reason that the option key couldn't have been the windows key, and the command key be the alt key in PC mode. Also, the right command key should be the windows context menu key in PC mode. This stuff is easy to get used to, just a little annoying and it stands out in a design that's otherwise so polished.A few other minor issues. The labels on the LEDs in the top right corner are already wearing off. This isn't much of an issue because even if there hadn't been labels at all they'd be self-explanatory. The key labels are fine. I do wish that the keyboard had been one of those where you can pair it to multiple devices and then switch between them via a slide switch. Then I could use it with my phone, tablet, or laptop as needed without re-pairing.Finally, the keyboard originally slipped around on desks, which in addition to being annoying felt like it was bothering my wrists. The bottom is slightly rough but not enough to provide friction. So I bought some rubber feet Rubber Feet Adhesive Rubber Pads, over 1 Inch Diameter Round Self Stick Bumpers, Thin Clear Bumper Pads plus Alcohol Prep Pad - 16 Pack and put one at each corner and one in the middle. Now it's stable as hell and very comfortable to use.Overall, this is a great example of inexpensive but not cheap. It's a great value for the money. A few tweaks would make it even better, but that shouldn't stop you from getting it now. I'm very pleased.

Bluetooth keyboards comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are made for computers and some are for phones or tablets. The average bluetooth keyboard is either full size or very small. So it's good to see one in the middle range. It's not too big or too small, it's the right size to keep with a tablet. Another thing most keyboards don't have is a way to know if it's on. This keyboard also lets you know when it's connected, there are lights under the keys. It's not boring lights like just white or red like some keyboards have. This has a selection of colors. When it starts up its the white light to let you know it has power. When the bluetooth is connected and you turn the light on its red. So here is the point you can change the colors. the colors are red, white, yellow-green,purple, light blue, green and blue. it takes some getting used to, to be able to type fast since it's about the size of the apple keyboards.

Pros: the keyboard is light weight and very thin.

Cons: it takes some playing around to figure out how everything works. the instruction manual is useless.

So in conclusion the keyboard is about the size of a Apple keyboard and very cool.

I wrote this review (and some others) with this keyboard.

This just happens to be perfect for my needs, but then that's why I picked it. After shopping around and reading a lot (too many) of reviews I decided to go with this one. Some people talked about various aspects of it as weeknesses but I believe that for other people those same qualities are strengths. So it's just a matter of finding what is right for you. In my case this is the perfect size, weight, feel, layout, look, and it's backlit which is sometimes very handy for me. Speaking of which if I could just slightly tweak any one thing it would maybe be slightly less bleed around the keys and more bleed through the characters of the keys. I am finding that it is nice having a little light at the edge of the keys to sort-of outline the edges of each key when I have to hunt for one I don't use very often. So even that is a feature for me and it's almost perfect. Some people say they don't like the flexibility of it, but I think it would help make it more durable for travel as it will be less prone to cracking. A nice touch is the fabric on the back which keeps it from sliding away from me when on a smooth surface or my bedspread, couch, or anything else that a smooth plastic surface will slip on. It is also very quiet with just the right responsiveness, again for me. As for durability, quality of build, etc., I have been using it for about a week now and it hasn't changed. It still feels, sounds, looks and performs the same as when I opened it. I consider that great because I really love the feel, look, and performance so we will see how it holds up in time but so far I am very happy. I only charged it the one time when I first took it out of the box. Actually I don't think it needed charging but I just do that with new battery powered things, when I first get them. So no lag or anything different or sign of battery drain. If I remember I will post an update when I need to charge it to give you an idea of battery life. I should point out that I wasn't really looking for something with travel and portability in mind as it's for my tablet that stays at home so I wanted the keys to be large enough and not cramped together. I wanted a full size keyboard feel but I also don't need the # keypad. So this fills that role perfectly. Some people complain about units like this needing to be propped up for comfort. I do that but I understand that these are made with portability in mind so if you want to put it in a backpack or a case you will want it to be very flat, duh. So that is still a good thing as far as I'm concerned. as it takes up less space and I may want to take it with me in the future. Overall it's perfect for me but again YMMV so just consider your own needs and taste when reading other reviews.

Also a nice surprise that wasn't advertised was the little folding stand for your tablet. I didn't know what it was at first but it is an awesome tiny stand that folds down real flat and compact, perfect for travel. I had ordered a case with speakers that is now unavailable. So now I find myself using that stand a lot and I am now just shopping for bluetooth speakers. It is very adjustable for tilt angle as well.

Oh yeah, I did NOT get a free one or anything as compensation for writing a review. This is my honest, unsolicited opinion. Apparently some people get free stuff or something for writing a positive review so I thought I better mention that.

After a doing a decent amount on online research for a bluetooth keyboard for my Kindle Fire HDX, I came across this one and figured I would give it a try. I was intrigued by the option of the backlit keys and the overall dimensions seemed to be a perfect fit. Once it arrived, I couldn't have been more surprised! The size of the keyboard is just right and the backlit keys are in fact a great option. The initial set up and pairing of the keyboard with my Kindle Fire was seamless and took a matter of seconds.
The overall design and feel of the keyboard is great. The keys are very responsive and don't feel loose or weak at all. They are well spaced out and I have no issues at all having big hands. I am very pleased with the overall design and functionality as a whole. To top it off, the free tablet stand was a nice touch as well!

PROS: For the value & price, the design, features. & functionality are great. The dimensions are great for a person with big hands & the overall feel is not cheap in the slightest. The backlit keys are a great touch too!

CONS: None right now... I am very pleased and may be hard pressed to find any...

To start, I'm using this keyboard to type this review. So far, it's turned out better than I expected. The keyboard is very light but has a sturdy feel to it. It paired very quickly with a Dell Venue 8 Pro with Windows 8.1. All features work as described, including the backlight feature. I'll update this if I ever run into any problems or if anything changes in general.

The AULA LED Keyboard is a well-built attractive keyboard for the price. It features three different colors to switch about from blue, red, and pink. Colors are not too bright and look great in the dark. Keys aren't that loud and feel nice on the fingers. I have heard of reviews about this keyboard dying in a few weeks or months, but I have had no problems. It's still working perfectly and I have had this for over a year, so I guess I'm lucky mine is still going strong. The quality is great for the price and I think this looks as good as more expensive keyboards, although not on the same level of quality. I recommend this keyboard, and for the price you can't go wrong.

The thing is beautiful, the led lights are bright with 3 colors blue, red, and pink. It is not loud when you press it and it also comes with see through keys, I put them on my (w,a,s,d and my arrow keys and numbpad 5) this is made with cheap plastic but I can't see it breaking though and plus its 30 dollars what do you expect, it does it's job and I recommend it

This keyboard is rockin. The keys are so smooth and soft and typing on it is just so satisfying. The lighting on it is marvelous and the different settings are fun to play with. It also came with 8 transparent keys to replace, I'm assuming, the directional keys and the AWSD keys if you choose. I just used them on the directional ones and it looks really awesome.

My only beef if any is that yeah sometimes I end up hitting \ instead of enter because the key is weird but ive only had it the day and Im already getting used to it.

If this keyboard was a cute person I would probably kiss them.

I have been looking to replace my old Dell keyboard for a while, finally pulled the trigger. My criteria: 1- needs to be splash-proof, with actual drain holes. 2- Needs backlighting to shine through the individual keys, not just around the keys. Super picky, I know, but that's what I want. 3- Needs to be very responsive, not necessarily mechanical, but has to be snappy, can't have a funky layout or odd-shaped keys. 4- Can't have extra drivers, discs, or any other garbage to make it work. I need to be able to throw this thing in my backpack and hook into my normal laptop, or any server in a datacenter.

This keyboard fulfills all of these requirements, for much less money than most the others. You can get three of the four criteria for less money, but not all four, from all the hunting I've done here at Amazon. And I'm typing on it right now, it just plugged in, found itself, and went. And even in my dining room, under my skylight, I can clearly see it's backlit brightly (including through the keys) and looks fantastic. My 3 year old daughter asked to play with my new space ship, while pointing at it... my work here is done.

The keys are plastic, and do not have any silicone padding or anything. The key presses are quiet, and a bit on the mushy side, but it's fast and responsive enough for what it is. It did come with a key plucker and 8 clear replacement keys that look super sharp. The keys mate to a square hole in the chassis, and do *not* have the flimsy little pieces that always break if you pull the keys off to clean it. I'm unwilling to dump a coke in my new keyboard, but it wouldn't surprise me if this thing survived both the spill and the cleanup. If I do not update this post, assume that this keyboard is still running. Rangers Lead the Way!!!!

This is, without a doubt, the best backlit keyboard I have owned, and one of the best all-around keyboards I have ever had.

First, a little background: As a computer programmer and gamer, my keyboard is essential to my livelihood and entertainment. I have had a few backlit keyboards from other manufacturers in the past, and they have always had something wrong with them--unresponsive, poor lighting, strange key arrangements, or just far too expensive to justify the purchase. I need a full keyboard that would provides clear, sufficient lighting for those late-night gaming/coding sessions, or just when it is a cloudy day and the light is low in my office. I ordered this because it was the only backlit keyboard that was a full, non-compact design that was not outrageously expensive. I was skeptical since it had no reviews and I could find no feedback for AULA's keyboards online.

Buying this keyboard was worth the risk. The keys are sensitive and responsive, with just the right spring-back to let you know they're there. Typing on this keyboard feels fluid and simple. The keys are arranged well, and I quickly adjusted to the slightly-altered location of the "|" key (which is good for programming, anyway).

The backlighting is fantastic. Those pictures are not Photoshopped, people--the keyboard's lighting really can be that bright and clear. Every key is well-lit and easy to read. You are getting your money's worth. The lighting can be adjusted between red, blue, and purple, and the light itself can be adjusted to be off, low, high, or slowly pulsing.

Awesome.

I highly recommend this as a keyboard, and for its backlighting. If you are looking for a well-built keyboard with backlighting that isn't overpriced and doesn't feel cheap, then this is what you want.

I enjoy the Jelly Comb keyboard. So far I have paired it with my Samsung Galaxy S6, Blackberry/android , Amazon Fire, and my Windows 10 laptop with no problems. It preforms well and is bright enough for me to work with no lights on in the room. It is very light weight and travels easily. My only complaint is the the keyboard has no feet or anything on its back to keep it from slipping. I corrected he problem myself and added some low profile rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard. I have no problems with this keyboard and I use it when I am traveling and at home.

Pros:-small, very lightweight and portable-rechargeable battery-backlight settings-easy pairing with devices-mostly good-sized keysCons:-a bit pliable-slides too easily on smooth surfaces-keys on the sides are too small-no ability to quickly switch devices-backlight doesn't stay locked (minor)In-depth review:Overall, I would give this a 4.5 if I could. This keyboard is fantastic for those who need a keyboard to slip in their bags and use with a tablet on the go. It is extremely lightweight, thanks in part to the fact it has a rechargeable battery as opposed to need AAA's, and so far has a very long battery life even with the the backlights on. Speaking of the backlights, the 7 colors are a great quasi-customization point, especially when on full brightness (some of the colors look similar when on the medium setting, but they are each very distinct once it's on full brightness). For the most part, the keys themselves are pretty easy to type on, with the smaller design not taking too much away from the ease of typing (although not completely). Also, it pairs fairly quickly with the Bluetooth-enable device of your choice.There are a few things that would make this closer to a 4 than a 5 for me. First is that it is a bit too pliable for my liking, meaning it could probably bend in half a little easier than one would hope, especially for something you would be putting in your backpack. It also slide far too easily on smooth surfaces due to the fact it has no rubber on the bottom to keep it stable while you type. While most of the keys are an acceptable size, some of the keys are far too small for my liking (especially the backspace key, which I use quite a bit when I'm writing, but that also includes the tilde and tab keys, for example). Another issue I have with this keyboard compared to other Bluetooth keyboard is the lack of ability to easily switch from one device to another. Although I can switch from one device to another in relatively little time, it's nowhere near as far as if you just have a switch or 2-key command on the keyboard to make that switch for you in seconds.One feature I wish this keyboard had to make the backlight option perfect would be if the keyboard would go back to the backlight setting you last had it on before turning the keyboard off/disconnecting it, but that's a more minor point.Overall, this is a great keyboard for those who are looking for an easy, compact keyboard to use with their tablets (as long as you have a stand!) and don't need to switch between devices too often.Also, a quick note on the stand issue, I contacted the seller and they said that currently, this keyboard will not come with a stand, despite what others are saying about receiving a stand with theirs, and they made this choice to keep the price point lower.

This keyboard is great! The keys have a nice feel and the backlight is wonderful. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is the "glitch" that makes you not want to charge the battery while using the keyboard. First of all, if you have the charger connected at the start, you can't pair the Bluetooth. Second of all, if you connect the charger after pairing, everything seems fine until the charging is complete, when the keyboard suddenly disconnects.You should still totally buy this keyboard. Just remember to only charge it while not using it. If you use it so much that the battery might be an issue, buy a second one. At this price it's a no brainer.

For the price, this keyboard can't be beat! Currently, I have it paired with a macbook pro. I can touch type at 70wpm and I haven't noticed any slow down while typing with this little gem. One thing I really like is the response of the keys when pressed. It feels almost exactly like my macbook pro. However, the keys are a touch smaller and a bit closer. Not a big problem for those who can type well on standard keyboards. On the unit that I received the LED lights on the pgup and pgdn keys are messed up. I had to give the keyboard four stars because when the keyboard is shining blue, those keys are an off yellow color. Probably a bad LED under those keys.Pros:PricePortability and small formLED backlights that are customizableCons:LEDs don't remember the last setting that was used. For instance, if your last setting was blue when you turned off the keyboard, it will automatically reset back to red on next power up. That's not that big of a deal for me, but may be for some.It's really plasticky.. but one could expect that at this price point.Overall, this is a great purchase for the price. I would recommend to a friend!

I just "upgraded" to an iPad mini from a second generation iPad and needed a new keyboard. Previously I had used the Adonit Writer+, but the case/stand no longer fits the smaller iPad, naturally. You'll note in the image that they are essentially the same size in width and thickness, though the Jelly Comb is deeper front to back. There are, however, a number of features on the Jelly Comb keyboard that already make it a standout for me. First, the extra depth at the top of the keyboard provides a space for a useful set of controls and indicators--the on/off switch, the clearly labeled "Connect" button, and the lights for CAPS lock, bluetooth pairing, charging and power. The backlighting is a nice, customizable touch for typing in low-light situations, and the switchable functionality for iOS, Android, and Windows platforms is appreciated.

I have yet to do a lot of typing on the Jelly Comb, but here, too, it shines above the Writer+. The keys are just about the same size, though the top row function keys are a bit larger, as are the bottom row keys. The typing feel is more pleasant overall, and when I type the keys do not sink below the surface of the keyboard causing my fingers to very noticeably "feel" the sharp edges of the key cutouts. There is also not plastic standoff just below the spacebar for my thumb to catch on, as it did on the Writer+. As far as typing itself, I seem to be able to type quite well on this keyboard so far. I'm unlikely to write a novel on my iPad, but do spend a lot of time in meetings where this should prove useful.

As for cons, time will certainly tell about the quality of the construction. It is a little less rigid than the Writer+, I believe due to a different grade of metal. However, it does sit very stably on a desk. [Can't say that I'll ever need to access the insides, but I'm glad to see it is screwed together not glued.] The other con is less specific for this keyboard and more for this genre of keyboards, i.e. mobile keyboards not specifically limited to tablet cover integration. I really wish there was a case or hard cover to make for cleaner, more protected travel.

Although I do like the overall difference/advantage of having my keyboard key lighted up and I'm using it just fine as I do my overall typing, there is one thing I'm trying to deal with. That is the fact that they included an "extra" key that my original keyboard didn't have. That key being between the " ' " and the "enter/return" key. This key is " | or \ " key; which was originally to the left of my backspace key. This isn't a big issue since it only takes time getting use to. It's just that, for the time being, when I want to hit "enter/return", I hit \ instead and this just slows down my overall typing speed. My work keyboard isn't the same, so I really need to differentiate between the two.

This would not be an issue at all if I was a "hunt and peck type" of typer, but I'm not. I type without looking down. Anyways, Looks and feel nice. Besides the thing I mentioned, no issue whatsoever.

I do want to comment on something though. Pushing FN + 5 (on the right side, not the one above lined horizontally) DID infact change the LED color. I LOVE PINK. I wanted to stay on blue, but it's kinda of dark; especially with no lights on. Red is okay, but it's slowly hurting my eyes. I wish it was Light Blue instead or maybe White. Overall, Pink is my current default and I'm a guy.

Not that anyone cares, but the back looks nice as well. The color shines through. Not too bright, but you can definitely tell it's there.

A minor issue is the lighting on the top 4 right lights (the ones that tell you if you have Num lock or not, etc..). These will ALWAYS be on blue. If Num lock is on, a small part of Caps lack (like a 1/5th of it) will be lighted up. If I turned the CAPs lock on, 1/5th of Scroll light be be lighted up. If I leave Num lock and Scroll lock on, 2 x 1/5th be lighted on Caps Lock and 1/5th of it will be lighted for the Win light (whatever that is.)

One last thing that I wanted to note which is the real reason I'm not giving it 5 star. It's not the material, but the overall top and bottom design. As I'm typing right now, the rough/grip side is on my left side and the smooth side is on my right side; I'm talking about my palm. It's like rough on the left, smooth on the middle, and rough on the right. I'd prefer if it was all rough or all smooth. On top of that, there's a noticeable indent in the middle; which I prefer if it was a straight line (all hill or all through) instead of a hill-through-hill design. It just doesn't feel right if I was typing a long time. However, this is meant for gaming, not typing a novel; which was why I wanted it in the first place. I prefer to type in the dark. This may be moot point, but this is based from my preference.

If these 2 things weren't present, I'd give this a 5 star. Overall, not a bad product to use. Not the best because if there was something else that's better, I'd probably stop using this one in a heartbeat. I don't hold it in high regards.

I needed a keyboard that I can simply type in the dark and this was the keyboard I have found. The design was nice so I decided to buy it. It was easy to set up: plug it in, wait for drivers to install and then you are good to go. The instructions were easy to follow depending if you want to change colors or turn up/down the brightness. (Off / Low / Bright / Pulsing)

FN + 5 - To change colors.
FN + 8 - Brightness
FN + 2 - Dimness

It has only 3 colors; Red, Blue and Purple. Blue is my favorite out of the 3, and the keys were lit up bright enough for you to see every key you press. The pulsing-light feature on the keyboard does not alternate the colors, but only the current color you are using.

The company provides a plastic key removal (which is useful for cleaning) and clear key pieces (I received 10 pieces) for you to set up where you have your Hot Keys or your Directional Keys. However you want to use them for, it is a nice thing that they give you.

There drainage holes in the keyboard in case if you were to accidentally spill your drink onto your keyboard, which obviously it is not recommended to do that. The typing you do on the keyboard is quiet so you won't have to worry about anyone being annoyed by your typing even with the door open. It is pretty sturdy and you can't not push it around so easily on a flat surface.

After a few months of having the keyboard, the only thing that ruined it for me was that something fell onto my keyboard rendering a few of the keys useless. There was no response from pressing the keys anymore so seeing how I can't use it, I gave it a smack to find out that it rendered the keyboard completely useless and unresponsive to any pressing on any key. (Probably a weak design as my other keyboard has gone through harsher punishment admittedly)

For what it is, it is a pretty good keyboard, just don't have anything fall onto it (or don't be hitting your keyboard) or otherwise risk the functionality of the keyboard. I have a new keyboard now and I will review it at a later time. If you wish to see this keyboard as it works: https://youtu.be/syhYpZYeKTI

After experiencing the disaster that was the "Azio Large Print Tri-Color Backlit Wired Keyboard" (see my unfavorable review), I was still in the market for a decent illuminated keyboard. If I'd been going on looks alone, I would've likely passed up on this one, because the official promotional images used on Amazon's product page truly do it no justice: it was only after going through the customer-provided images (among which I've decided to include one of my own) that I got a better and truer sense of what to was to be expected visually. But the bigger decisive factor was of course the many favorable user ratings which, after I'd acquired a unit of my own, seem significantly justified... although, regrettably, it is not entirely perfect.

The biggest complaint, as has been stated repeatedly by other reviewers, concerns the redesign of the "return/enter" key which repositions the "vertical-back slashes" key to the area customarily associated with the return key, giving rise to repeated misstrikes when not paying the closest of attention, and to having to resort to uncomfortably overreaching to access the key whether you're aware of its location or not. I cannot image why the designers felt this off-putting alteration was at all necessary, unless it somehow has something to do with its being marketed as a "gaming" keyboard, of which things I'm ignorant. Also, the absence of proper independent "media keys" may be a bit of a concern, but which can still be mimicked through use of the "function" key which, again for some unknown reason, the keyboard designers chose to swap over to the opposite side of the board.

My only other issue with this keyboard, though a relatively minor one, is that key pressing feels too stiff & resistant for my personal tastes, reminding me somewhat of the old "iMac" proprietary keyboards I'd loathed so much.

I'd always wanted the assistance and the convenience (not to mention the "coolness") of having & working with an illuminated keyboard of this sort, especially given the fact that I'm frequently working in the dark or otherwise very subdued lighting situations, so its being designed as a backlit/illuminated keyboard was of course its primary selling point with me already, but I’ve found this particular function on this keyboard to be amazingly spot-on -- even in well-lit situations! (see a bit of an example in my posted accompanying photo)

Set at maximum brightness, the "pink/purple" lighting variation is softest on the eyes; the "red" setting, while clear and detail rich, can be extremely harsh on sensitive eyes, so I would not recommend this setting except at its more dimmed brightness level or unless you truly love the color scheme; I myself am partial to the "blue" option, which is likewise sufficiently bright, and whose "eye strain factor" falls somewhere semi-comfortably between the other two color options.

Because of the aforementioned "issues" I've expressed concerning this keyboard, even though they are truly not anything major enough worth blowing a gasket over (although the "return" key redesign can often be hella frustrating for most of us who are not accustomed to ''reaching'' for it), I cannot justifiably grace it with the 5-star rating it would've otherwise deserved, so consider that I've assigned this one with a score somewhere between "3" and "4" ...or let's just call it a "B-minus."

(From a mac user)

Pros---
-Nice design- doesn't look too cheap and doesn't feel expensive (as compared to a $140 Razer keyboard)
-Works well enough for the price
-Lightweight
-Hasn't malfunctioned yet (used for a week and I game)
-Doesn't need to be installed with a software-- works on mac.

Cons---
-The ENTER (return) key is a little bit further to the right than where it is on the standard keyboards. It will only take a couple days to get used to.
-(for mac users) the Fn+5 (on num pad) does not change the keyboard's color. You will be stuck with blue.
-----And yes, I said I tried Fn + 5 (ON NUMBER PAD- I know what this is). Does not work, and I do not have a defective product.
(Perhaps try changing the color on a windows computer and then see if it remains when you plug it back in your mac)
-(for mac users) number lock and scroll lock on the keyboard do not work (but these functions are windows specific anyway)
-The left shift key. Maybe it's just my typing style, but for this keyboard you must hit near the center of the key or it will be hard to press due to its rubber dome style
-The keyboard can slide around if you do not put enough pressure on it, especially on the left side. This isn't too big of an issue.

Extra information:
-The other functions work. For example, Fn+8, Fn+2 work for adjusting light intensity and pulsing. You will just be stuck with blue light.
-The lockable/unlockable WIN key works.
- Also, the WIN key (the key with the windows logo) is equivalent to your Apple command key.
-Keys are detachable and can be replaced with the colorless keys
-Works on mac in closed clamshell mode

Update Oct 5, 2016: Wow, It's been two years with this keyboard! It's still working just as well as the day I bought it. I was just looking to buy a new keyboard (to change things up / upgrade) and I had to dig two years back into my Amazon order history to see when I'd purchased this. I use this keyboard everyday, all day for work (graphic design), and for hours and hours of gaming after that. Keys function fine; Lighting still works; Still brightly lit; It was a good purchase. Thanks.

I've had this keyboard for a while now and I like it a lot. I'm glad I bought it. I was a little weary at first because I did buy a Logitech keyboard a few years ago that had illuminated keys and I didn't enjoy it. The Logitech one was hard to see (day or night) and after a few months I replaced it. I like this AULA keyboard much, much better and I plan to keep using it for a long time.

Pros:
It is very nicely lit. I can see the keys clearly at all times and any time. Day or night. I pretty much leave it lit all the time, but I don't find it distracting. I can see how the option to turn the key lighting off is useful if your keyboard is on your desk, for example, but mine is on a keyboard tray so when it is lit and I slide it under the desktop it's like it's off completely. I absolutely LOVE the lighting when I'm gaming. Especially for my flight simulator when I can just glance down and pick out a key quickly. The keys are easy to type with. I like a keyboard with a soft touch so you can quickly type and not have to press hard on the keys. This keyboard is very much like that - keystrokes can be light, quick and fluid without any missing letters.

Cons:
The Return/Enter key is not shaped like a standard Windows keyboard (at least not any I've ever owned in the last 20 years). It moves the forward Slash key "\" down a row and sticks it in-between the Quotation Mark key and the Enter key. So if you're used to not looking at the keyboard as you type, this will definitely throw you off at first. I would strongly suggest if you're not wanting to be frustrated by re-teaching yourself the locations of your Semicolon, Quotation Marks, and Forward Slash keys, that you look for a different keyboard. These keys are all pretty much moved to the left by one space and it is something you'll have to get used to (that is how they are setup at the time of this writing - Dec 2014). I didn't notice this in the images when I bought the keyboard...actually didn't notice it until I started typing and things got...weird... To me, it's not a show stopper, but I think it is something to be aware of.

couldn't get it to pair with PC- emailed customer support off their website. surprisingly, they offered a solution and it worked. BUT. had to return the item because the auto off was ridiculous. when it was turned on, it worked fine. but after 10min, it went to sleep and basically shut off completely even fully charged. so I had to turn the keyboard back off/on again and wait 2 sec for it to connect. I tried to deal, but it got annoying really quickly. maybe it was just the one I received so, 3 stars it is.

Meh, this little keyboard had its issues from the get go. The initial syncing to my PC took many tries. At the time I was using Windows 7. Sleep mode liked to confuse it. At times there was a pretty long delay to wake up. At times there was a long delay just to type. My couch wasn't that far from the PC. Used it mainly for internet browsing and even just that was frustrating at times.When the planets aligned and it worked ... well, it worked.I've since moved onto a wired keyboard and an extension cord.

Unfortunately I was not happy with this product at all. First, when I got it, it was a lot smaller that I thought it would be, which is my fault for not researching better. The light up feature stopped working after a couple of weeks. I can live with that, it was just a cool novelty option for me. But the biggest problem was that when I would try to type, it would act like the key was stuck, even though it wasn't. I could plug it directly to my computer with a micro usb that I already had and this would sometimes solve the problem, but I needed to be wireless. I loved the sleek look of it and the feel of the keys when I typed but that is about it.EDITED!!!!!!!I am very impressed with the seller. After reading my review, the seller contacted me and offered a refund. I was unaware that they have a 100% money back guarantee. As I said, the product may not be one of my faves but the seller seems honest and actually concerned with customer sanctification, not just making money. That will go a long way with me and I will try future products from this company.

This product's key placement is more ideal for use with Mac than PC as it has two command (CMD) keys, but only one control key. One-handed keyboard shortcuts involving the CTRL key and the right side of the keyboard are difficult. I use one hand on the keyboard while drawing/designing in Photoshop and Illustrator. Many shortcuts such as CTRL+;, CTRL+I, CTRL+L, and CTRL+U, require two hands or a difficult stretch. On mac this isn't an issue as either of the two CMD keys can be used for those shortcut functions.The function key in the bottom left corner occupies an optimal spot for keys that are used more often and typically the home of the CTRL key. This may be common placement on compact apple keyboards, but it makes for difficult contortions with shortcuts such as CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+w.The backlight is great. battery life is fine. Bluetooth functionality is fine.

Okay, so, I was very excited to get this because I needed one and it seemed to fit the bill for a reasonable price.Upon arrival, I immediately started setting up. It didn't work. I couldn't get it to connect. I finally gave up and walked away from it because I needed to feed my kid. ;)When I got back to my computer, something had happened, and it worked! It worked so great, and I was SO excited. Closing my laptop (without shutting down, restarting, logging off, etc.) had no impact and was still able to use it upon re-opening the laptop. Hurray!Then, came time a day or 2 later that I had to restart my laptop. So I did. The keyboard hasn't worked since. Something happened to the bluetooth on my laptop with that restart (or because of the keyboard, I don't know.) Bluetooth was gone. After much frustration, I found where I could re-download the bluetooth drivers on my laptop. Phew. Got the bluetooth back.The keyboard finally re-appeared in my "devices" screen, but it still didn't work. I finally "removed" it from my device list, and waited a bit, and re-added it. It didn't want to work. Finally out of the blue it allowed me to enter in the pairing code. Then it said it didn't work for an unknown reason.Tried again, and it wouldn't let me try again. Removed it from the device list again, and again re-added it. This time it let me enter in the pairing code.It still wouldn't work to *use* though.When I right click on the keyboard in my device list, I can choose "trouble shoot problems" and it says it can't find any problem to troubleshoot, but I still can't use it.Then a couple hours later, it finally started working again. Phew! Great! ... and then it stopped. I have it fully charged, but I can't even make the lights come on once the power is on. (I turn on the power switch, the keyboard lights up, for those few seconds it's supposed to, but once they turn off, they're off. I can't turn them on, I can't type, I can't "connect"...One would think it must be my laptops bluetooth, but I also ordered a bluetooth mouse (again - the mouse configuration on my laptop is awful - I can't right click or do anything you're supposed to be able to do with a mouse with the built in laptop one.) But I also only have 2 USB ports, so just plugging something in isn't going to work for me. (I also need a pen tablet, the occasional external drive or SD card reader as well.In any case, my bluetooth mouse works great. Granted, I haven't tried re-starting the computer after having the bluetooth mouse installed, and I sure do hope that it will continue to work after I restart... when that time comes.I have no idea what else to do. Other than try to return it. :/

Keyboard:This keyboard has a nice feel and is very lightweight and flexible. The backlight has 2 brightness settings and has 7 different colors to pick from. The backlight also shuts off after about 1 minute if not in use. Typing on this keyboard feels really nice and the keys have a nice travel distance as well as spacing between each other. Cool shortcuts and works well with my LG G3 (KitKat).Cons:- The keyboard does not work on Windows 7 devices and locks up while attempting to use on Windows 7.- No explanation found in manual with how to use the "iOS" "Android" and "Windows" functions located on the "Q" "W" and "E" keys.- CAPS light does not work. (Tested and confirmed. CAPS light does not light at all in contrast to the manual)- Bluetooth light only lights when in paring mode. After being paired, there is no light to indicate a connection.- Manual instructs you to "press" the power button, when it is not a button but an ON/OFF switch.- Keyboard has disconnected randomly at a couple times.- Keyboard does not keep selected backlight. Once powered off and then back on, the keyboard will light red regardless of whether you had it on another color or not.Tablet Stand:The stand is very slim and folds up nicely. It has rubber strips on the bottom to keep it from sliding. The stand also features 6 different angles.Cons:- None.

Looks good. Worked well until it didn't. Without any drops or spills or any identifiable cause, it stopped working for almost every key on it. Presently some of the numbers work and the F5 but that is it. (the backlight still works) (and I tried multiple systems). Had it since Jan 2016, so it did work for about 1.5 years.

Such a nice looking and well functioning keyboard for the money. If you're in a pinch and are looking for a gaming keyboard this will work, but after one year of using it I'm starting to notice key sticking on my WASD keys. The physical keys don't stick, but it's the trigger inside. Some games it's okay to use like it is, but in Rocket League and GTA V where driving is key, it makes it hard to play. I started seeing these problems about a week ago and they've only gotten worse since then. Using the included key popper makes removing the keys simple, but even cleaning didn't solve the problem.

Bottom line it's a great keyboard with beautiful LEDs and nice construction, but if you are a heavy gamer then be weary of the WASD wearing out over time.

I love the back-lit colors and the typing feel is at least OK so far, but despite my efforts, I cannot get past the return key being half-width with the backslash ( \ ) key being to the right of the semi-colon instead of above the return key. I could deal with the return key being shaped that way (my old Amiga 3000 keyboard was like that), but putting the backslash key to the right of the semi-colon means I keep typing backslash instead of hitting return. It's a lot harder for my pinky finger to reach other it than I thought it would be. It drove me nuts after awhile, so I ended up trying a backlit keyboard from Logitech instead that has a normal position and it's been awesome (costs a lot more, though) with better typing feel an a normal return key. I do miss the tri-color choices (Logitech model only has white), but I can't deal with the return key setup and there doesn't appear to be a way to change the keys out.

People that don't "touch type (type without looking) will probably have an easier time adjusting to it.

First off, the positives. for the price its a good backlit keyboard. It is NOT a gaming keyboard. The keys feel crisp and responsive and I like being able to change the brightness of the backlight with a simple key press. Having audio controls with FN key is very useful. The keyboard does look nice without being too aggressive on the styling.

Now for the negatives, if you plan on using this keyboard for gaming beware that the surface on the keys will wear out quickly. After only a few weeks of use, the S,D and Cntl keys have completely worn off the surface. Doesn't hurt functionality, but it does make the keyboard look like trash. You can't save the color settings, so you have to manually change them each time you power off your computer. Granted true gaming keyboards are twice or three times the price of this model, but if I had to do it over again I would spend the extra money for a more durable and better constructed product.

Edit 8/29/16: Keyboard died after only a few months. The surface of the keys that I used most often wore off completely and now a number of the keys stopped worked. Would not recommend.

Edit: I'll be leaving my original review below for context sake. I have now had this keyboard for awhile so I figured I'd update the review. The keyboard has continued to work after months of use. The light does seem to be still working well and the keys and everything respond and work well. There's still a slight issue of pushing too many keys at once and the keyboard not registering. So take caution if you have a habit of using more than 3 or 4 key presses at once. For the price it's a good keyboard with good back-lighting. Changing my review to 3 stars.

Bought this keyboard primarily due to it backlight. I spend a decent amount of time gaming, mostly in FPS' and it worked great. I loved that you were able to change the colors, and the intensity of the brightness. It was a simple plugin and play deal. I'm rating 3 stars because it stopped working after a week. It was working, then suddenly 90% of the keys stopped working. A few random keys would work if pressed harder than normal. I was able to return it, and am using the refunded money to purchase it again in hopes that it won't mess up again. Will update after receiving.

There is a lot to like about this keyboard. It has a nice feel, it is easy to pair, it has a rechargeable internal battery, it is small and light. But it has one overwhelming problem - key bounce. About one in four key strokes results in a double character. Youu can immagine hoow annnoyingg thatt muust be. I had to return it.

I would give this item 5 stars just for how much better it made life with my tablet. Imagine having Home, End, PageUp/Down, copy/paste, pause/play for your touch-screen device without having to touch or swipe all the time. No more swyping! It saves a lot of time and effort.I originally got a smaller KB, the same size as my 8" tablet, but that was too small. This one is still smaller than a regular keyboard, but the keys are spaced just fine for touch typing. I also like the extra row of function keys along the top. My smaller KB did not have that.The backlighting is a great feature. No need to turn on a light to type at night, like I have to do with my laptop. And, you can chose your favorite light color!Battery life is great, and you can use the KB while it is charging (unlike my $75 BT headset)The reason I have only given it 4 stars is because some of the characters are messed up in Android mode. " and @ are swapped. Backslash and hash characters send some other char's to my android device. i am sure with a little firmware tweek this can be straightened out in future versions.Overall, highly recommended if you are an old-school typer instead of a tapper.Update: I have lowered my rating because a) there where lots of multiple keystrokes entered. eg. 1234 may be entered as 1122234 b) several keys quit working after only three months.

It's cute but the light doesn't stay on for more than a second at a time making that function useless. When I click a random key the back light won't turn back on, you gotta memorize where that specific function button is if you're actually planning on using this in a low light situation. Buy the cheaper one with out the back light.

I purchased this Jelly Comb Backlit Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 inch Tablet. Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep this Bluetooth keyboard because of a couple of issues. First of all, I want to say this item is very well made and the keys have a very comfortable touch, the backlit feature works great. Pairing the keyboard to my tablet was a breeze, and works great in Android. My big issue was that CAPS lock LED indicator light that would not illuminate when I pressed the CAPS lock key. The other issue I had with this keyboard was that the function keys, F1...F12 would not respond when I held down the key combination, for example, Fn + F2. I couldn't insert any text in a cell while working in Excel using the keyboard which made it useless for my needs. None of the function keys worked when I tried this combination. The user guide that comes with the item only gives basic description of the item and its essential functions. If these negative issues were not present, I would have given it 5 stars.

I'm not happy with this product or jelly combs customer service. The Bluetooth constantly malfunctions I use it with an iPad. And I can't get the lights to change. I never know if it's charging when it's plunged in. Some key strokes do not register. I'm hoping its just mine and jell will send me a good one, I really like the style and portability, now if I could only get one that works.

This is a really nice looking keyboard for the price, the adjustable RGB backlighting is a great feature so I -really- wanted this to work. Unfortunately I was not going to be so lucky.The TL;DR is that this is a nice keyboard for short range only. In testing I found the signal to drop off after 3 or 4 feet. If you're using this for a tablet or phone, it will probably be fine as they keyboard will be very close to the device. I bought it to use as a remote keyboard for my PC when playing games using a projector and needed more than 3-4 feet of range. They claim 10 Meter (32.8 feet) range which was not the case in the unit I received. I tried it with multiple bluetooth transceivers on the PC and also with a couple of phones and never could I get more than 4 feet of range.Being curious, I popped this thing open to check out the design. The processor behind this is a Broadcom BCM20730 System-on-Chip which is a Cortex M3 processor and Bluetooth 3.0 transceiver integrated into one BGA chip which is mounted on a carrier PCB(printed circuit board), which is then mounted to the main PCB. They're using what looks to be a standard reference design for the BCM20730 carrier board, but that raises a couple of questions. The BCM20730 module is mounted atop the carrier PCB in the same plane, and the Bluetooth antenna is directly over the PCB of for the keyboard interface with traces running right under it. The reference design notes I found state that it should not have anything above or below the antenna section of the carrier board and certainly not other traces like in this design. Additionally the BCM20730 has programmable power output levels, and I question whether they have programmed the transmitter power output properly, or have greatly reduced the output and range to improve battery life. Without having a decent way to measure the RF output, I have no way of knowing, but standard Bluetooth 3.0 should have a range of 300 feet; to fall so short on the range is incredible. This would have been a very usable keyboard for PC or Home Theatre PC use otherwise.

I can't believe how this keyboard just fell apart. I am not an abusive person when it comes to keyboards, even while gaming. I kept it clean and made sure not to spill any drinks or eat food over it. Initially, it was great and worked fine. The colored lighting was very cool and easy to adjust. But approximately 9 months later, right in the middle of an online game, my key commands stopped working. Other keys continued to work. As I investigated, working keys gradually became non-working keys! Over the span of 20 minutes, the keyboard gradually failed until the whole thing stopped working altogether despite the color lights still being on. So basically, this is a cheap piece of junk from China that is made to last just long enough to please consumers into giving false rose-colored reviews before it fails on you. Buy at your own risk!

I actually did like this keyboard. The backlighting is nice, and it was nothing special to configure.

However, I do have a couple of complaints. My first complaint is minor, but as an IT person, I spend a good bit of time typing. The configuration of the Enter key relative to backslash (\) and pipe (|) is odd. I often hit enter while trying to type a backslash or pipe. But this is just something to get used to. Not a huge deal.

The part that prompted me to write the review is what just happened. I play online games a good bit as well. So I use Ctrl, Shift, and Alt a good bit. My right shift key just broke. I don't mean it came off the clips underneath. I mean it broke, in half, with a vertical crack down the middle of the key. So now the left side of the key flops around separate from the right side of the key as the clip attaches in two places. I have no idea how this happened. I'm a firm typer, but I didn't do anything extreme when this occurred. Nor have I ever. I was just pressing right shift when I heard and felt it snap.

I've been using this keyboard for about 4 months when this occurred.

The keyboard itself is pretty nice, it fits my hands just fine. The keys feel right when typing, the backlight is bright enough to be useful. No problems as far as build goes, my issues are with function:

Almost none of the F keys worked properly upon arrival. They all have two functions, the primary F-key function and a secondary, such as volume, brightness, music controls, etc... On all of the keys, only one function or the other would work. Not both. F3 Is the only key that both functions work on.

After about 6 months the numpad keys started going bad, rather than typing numbers, they started doing alternate functions. For example, the number 2 now refreshes the page. Extremely frustrating when trying to do homework, hit 2, and suddenly it's all gone.

Maybe it's a driver problem, but as far as I'm concerned, software or hardware, a defective device is defective. I'm not going to waste my time troubleshooting it, I'm just going to buy a different one. It was only $20 anyways.

Bought this because it was cheap and was backlit. That was my original criteria for buying a new keyboard and it kind of still is. I was excited when I started unboxing this baby; wrapped very carefully in foam with hard foam sides to prevent damage from overseas shipping from China. It is easy to tell this came from China because the instructions and Warranty information are all dominantly in Chinese with very roughly translated to English. I was prepared for that however because of reading other reviews. One odd thing is that the enter key is reduced a bit and replaced by the \ key. A personal gripe is that the keys are very soft. For many people this is no issue but when you're used to an office keyboard with really loud and satisfying key-presses, this can be a big turn-off.
3-colors, works out of the box, no drivers needed, easy to control and reasonably controlled brightness, cool design, great value.

Update: knocked off 3 stars because the keyboard randomly stopped functioning after about two months. Not sure what the problem could be, just turned on my PC one day and not a single key responded but the keyboard remained backlit and the NUMLOCK light remained illuminated. If anyone knows a fix please let me know!

So, this AULA keyboard seems to have proved the old concept of "you get what you pay for"! I have purchased three of these keyboards. This morning, while trying to install new software, the #3's controller board/chip seems to have bit the dust. So, for those who are familiar with standard s/w installs, here's what happened. I start the installer, choose custom install, and am trying to set someplace else besides the C: drive to install to. So, I try to type D (at the beginning og the path) in the line that has the path to install to. Nothing! Now, I have encountered quirky installers (this installer was for the latest Corel Graphics, though) that have behaved this way before. So, I open File Explorer (Windows 10) and try to setup the folders on the D drive so I can just browse to them in the installer. I create a new folder, but cannot type anything to re-name it. I cancel the install, reboot the computer (proper Windows shutdown and then cold boot). At the Win X login screen, I get 2 characters of my password typed in, then nothing more. NUM Lock button will not respond but computer is responding fine (mouse pointer moves fine, for example). Connect a different USB keyboard, get logged in fine. Disconnect the AULA. I have an identical AULA keyboard connected to my other computer. I swap the two AULA keyboards. The 2nd keyboard works perfectly fine on the computer where the 1st keyboard had issues AND the 1st AULA k/b fails to work at all with the 2nd computer! So, the 1st AULA k/b died. I would be tempted to RMA it with the manufacturer or seller, but having bought 3 of these and this being a 2nd failed unit, I have lost confidence in the brand and will simply try to select a higher quality keyboard when purchasing! I will say this, while it worked, I loved the 3 colors (also my sister loves purple and previously I had considered buying one of these as her for a gift, but that will never happen now) and the keyboard had an excellent typing experience, but the keyboard just dying out of the blue after a few months is kind of a deal breaker for me, esp. when it is the second failed unit from AULA!

I liked this keyboard until it died, only 4 weeks after I received it. I started noticing a few days prior to then that there was a several second delay between the time I typed and the time the print appeared on the screen. I have a second Bluetooth keyboard which does not have that problem, so I know the problem was with the keyboard, not with my device. Then it just suddenly stopped working. It had been sitting idle for maybe 12 hours and just totally went dead. I tried switching it off and back on, but it wouldn't turn on. I'm returning it. Other than that, I had been happy with the keyboard. I liked the changeable backlight colors, the layout of the keyboard, and the key action. Perhaps I got a lemon.

This is the second Jelly Comb wireless keyboard I've purchased. My nephew loved the first so much that I purchased him one for his computer at home, and went with the light up colors because I was purchasing for a ten year old. Unfortunately this keyboard has been unusable, frequently going to sleep in less than 15 seconds, regardless of whether or not someone is typing on it or not. It is a pretty cool looking keyboard, but I really needed something that you could use to type on a computer.

I think the color options are a little too colorful...The keys are fairly easy to use while typing.The function keys on this keyboard is pretty messed up for a keyboard that is trying to be able to fit all systems.Anyway, I tried all of the function keys when I connected it on my computer and the basic ESC key opens a browser instead of a canceling function. extremely not user friendly on this.Then when I use it with my note 3, none of the function keys work with or without holding the FN key. This time ONLY the ESC key works... I can't even use the BACK key... The arrow keys don't work properly... It stuck to a word underlined that is for auto correction and doesn't move away the blinker. What is this design?Then I emailed them for support as they tried to get better rating by doing so. They failed, because the email relied me was to suggest I TRY some instructions. "FN ＋F1 for backspace" F1 isn't even close to that... Then I was told to check the user manual which I already did before contacting them and the menu said so little.You can try Fn + F1 for backspace.For detailed function keys, pleas check the user manual about it.

It doesn't work! I just got this keyboard today, and it worked fine right out of the package. It connected quickly, typed without any lag, and seemed like a really great purchase. I went to Netflix and watched a movie, and by the end of it, the keyboard had automatically disconnected "to save battery" (it doesn't seem like there's any way to turn this feature off). I pressed a key and waited for a few seconds (which the owner's manual told me to do) and it still wouldn't reconnect. I went to my Bluetooth devices list to connect from there, still didn't work. I tried recharging it, re-pairing it, I tried practically anything you could think of, and it still wouldn't connect. What bugs me even more is that this can't be wear and tear, since I ONLY GOT IT TODAY! This is NOT WORTH IT!Update 9/9/2017: Eventually, I managed to get the keyboard to work again, and I haven't run into that issue since. However, a few days ago, the keyboard just stopped working with no explanation. It doesn't turn on, or connect to anything. And I know for a fact that it's not because it's dead. I don't know why, but it just isn't working anymore. I'm sticking with my one-star rating.

Had to change Windows 10 default setting that randomly turns off Bluetooth to save power (even when laptop is connected to power). That solved random disconnect problem. It has a magnetic back which allows me to place it over the bad keyboard on my Dell Inspiron laptop. The magnetic back somehow keeps the Jelly Comb keyboard in place very nicely when just placed on top of laptop keys. I wish the color you select would become a default for next use, but that a minor detail. Keyboard light does not shine through keys, but provides just enough light to be able to read the keys in a dark room.Update - unit failed after just one week.Update - They sent replacement keyboard. Charged it. Used it 5 minutes, turned it off for night. Next morning, new one was dead.Did find a way to revive them for a while. When they will not charge, leave them on over night, even though they seem to be dead. Then the next morning they will charge and can be used again for a while. Strangely, they go dead even when left connected to charger while in use.

The first one failed in a day. The company was very good a replacing it, but the 2nd keyboard failed in 3 days. I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard K360, and I couldn't be happier with it. For my money, the Logitech is the way to go.

It stopped working properly in a matter of months, just with regular use. All of a sudden, some keys just stopped working. There was no clear cause. In that same amount of time, the paint rubbed away enough to make the most commonly-used letters illegible. It is lit in the crudest way possible, shining one solid light and painting black on the clear plastic, but leaving the letter areas unpainted, thus creating a ridge of paint on the edges of the letter, bound to wear off quickly. It also has a poor textile feeling when typing. It's spongy. It feels like someone took a soft cellphone skin and spread it under the keys. I doubt it would've lasted long, even without the malfunction.

Was a nice look right out of the packaging. I was excited to plug it in and go. It lit up right away, but nothing worked. Revisited the reviews to see if I missed something. Many said to try restarting of and/or plug into different USB ports. After spending about 30 minutes trying every possible combination the only thing I was able to determine was that the ONLY keys that worked on the entire keyboard were 1,2,3,4,7,8, and 9 (and yes I skipped 5 & 6 on purpose). Bought this item because it was the #1 selling keyboard on Amazon and thought there had to be good reason for it. Many recent reviews indicate there are a good many lemons out there for this product. Thankfully Amazon granted a refund with no hassle. Now I am debating to try another or switch brands. If I get the same brand I will update review.

Purchased this after seeing great reviews for it, and seeing the price being what it was. It turned out to be too good to be true. I plugged it in and the LEDs lit up nicely but then no keystrokes would register! The numlock LED was lit up but nothing else worked. I tried 2 different computers. I was very disappointed. What was strange was when I had this plugged in and then plugged in another keyboard at the same time and pressed the numlock key on my normal working keyboard, the ALUA keyboard's numlock LED would update, yet no keypresses on the ALUA keyboard would do anything. I couldn't even cycle through the different LED color options. That wouldn't work either.

TLDR: The keyboard wouldn't work at all except for the whole thing lighting up.

Dear AULA,
A Defective Keyboard? Really? A Keyboard? You can't manufacture a Keyboard properly? It won't type? Seriously? Only 6 letters work, 6. SIX. You folks should get out of this business, there are many keyboard manufacturers whose keyboards actually work, while yours doesn't. It lights up real pretty and all, but real pretty and 5 pennies will get you a nickel, and that's more than the worth of this keyboard.

I'd send it back, but it'll be more fun to keep it here in my shop, telling everyone who will listen that this company can't even make a keyboard that works.

First keyboard that backlighting is bright enough
To work love it. Update April 11 2016 this keyboard just died at 110.$ I think it should last longer than 8 months and the thing about is i'm not on my computer near as much as I used to be in my younger days I would say I wore it out but I am lucky to be on it once a week and not for more than a few minutes. I would be looking for a better keyboard than this one hate to say it now but its going from a 5 to a 1 star.
