Vilros 15 Inch USB Keyboard with Touchpad-Great For Raspberry Pi

Very nice little keyboard. Probably the most solid membrane keyboard I've had. The body is metal and nice and heavy. Feels very well built. The trackpad and mouse buttons also feel great. The keys feel great. Sound is reasonable. This is the perfect addition to my cnc setup, allowing me another point of control. Works great. Perfect size. It even has a function key which seems to be becoming rare. If there is one downside, it's that there is no stand to adjust the angle but I am not missing it.

Perfect tool for the job. No complaints. Small, light, portable, functional, and inexpensive. I use it when setting up new PCs and the mouse/keyboard means I just plug one thing in and go.

Got this for use with a Raspberry Pi 5 microcomputer that I’m using for development of an AI Home Assistant. Wanted to replace a separate full size keyboard with mouse that is just overkill for what I’m doing with this setup. This keyboard is perfect. I guess I wasn’t expecting such good build quality. This thing feels bulletproof. Low profile keys with a full size layout makes typing easy. The entire thing is only 14-3/4” long by 5-1/8” tall and just 5/8” thick, so it is very compact for storage. The touch pad on the right with 2 mouse buttons works great, eliminating the need for a separate mouse and a place to use it. It was completely plug-n-play compatible with my Raspberry Pi, needing no extras to connect and start working perfectly. The cord is 5ft long, which is a lot more than I need, but it’s thin enough to be easily coiled up with a Velcro strap for cable management. If I were to have a complaint, it’s the fact that the cord exits the top just on the right side with a molded strain relief that requires you to have about a 1/2” of clearance in front of the keypad. Not a significant deal, but something to consider depending on how you’re going to mount or store this in a fixed configuration.

I had a Logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad combo for the past 8 years and it worked (mostly) fine. This keyboard however blows past that in terms of key feel and ergonomics. I can type more accurately and faster. It also fixes two of the most annoying issues with my old logitech keyboard: - The wireless keyboards (bluetooth or not) tend to drop connection once in a while. This can become extremely annoying as it pops out of nowhere and causes rrrrreepeated keystrokes and jumpy mouse. - The trackpad on my logitech would stop working at a slight dampness. So if I just washed my hands and did not dry them 100%, I would have to clean both my hands and the pad in order for it to work. This keyboard does not have that problem. I can wipe it down with a damp cloth and the trackpad works like a champion. 5 stars overall. Two minor complaints: - Logitech keyboards have the left mouse click button on the left side of the keyboard as well (above Esc key). This comes in pretty useful for two-handed mouse action. Alas, this keyboard does not have it. - The USB wire could have been a little longer but it can be solved by a wire extender.

Pretty good keyboard. My only complaint is that it does not have an Insert key. If this is something you use/need I would look for a different one. If you do not use/need that key, then I would give this 5 stars for you.

Very solid and sturdy construction, heavier than your average keyboard. The good quality of the materials stands out. I guess it will last several years. I have a computer repair shop, and this keyboard is very useful since it only requires a USB port, and by providing field support you can use both keyboard and mouse without the need for a table, just on your knees. The wired USB connection is also more stable and reliable than the wireless version, especially on older computers, and you don't risk forgetting the little receiver (I've seen that before). The only strange thing is that this keyboard has an LED indicator for the Scroll-lock function, but NO KEY TO ACTIVATE IT! Although this function is really very rare, and I think it can be easily replaced with the two-finger gesture. In general terms it is a very good purchase, I can recommend it.

These things are extremely low quality and prone to breaking. I've bought two and both units failed in under 6 months. They have a nice weight, connect easily, and are very functional when they work. Unfortunately, they have almost no longevity and are extremely unreliable.

By any measure this is a nice keyboard. The keys and trackpad have decent feel, the case is not flimsy and the size is about the smallest that can be easily used for touch typing with normal sized hands. The trackpad even works through a plastic cover. For most that doesn't matter, but sometimes keeping out dirt and easy cleaning is important in places like labs, workshops and kitchens. One small letdown is that although Vilros touts the keyboard for Raspberry Pi use, it doesn't appear in the RasPiOS list of supported keyboards under Bookworm and there's not a hint of guidance in the very brief manual regarding the most compatible choice in the keyboard list. Despite that quibble, at least some of the trackpad gestures work. The only thing more I could ask is a version with the trackpad on the left 8-)

This is the keyboard I'd hoped it would be - I have officially eliminated the need for a mouse. The one surprise was the trackpad scroll direction was the reverse of my laptop. For consistency I was able to adjust my laptop trackpad to mirror this behaviour. Love having volume keys above the trackpad - no more panic struggles to address volume issues. Only feature missing is backlit keys - for those that do not look at the keys typing this is not an issue, the home f and j keys are easily identified by touch. I would purchase again.

I've tried several USB touchpad keyboards, including expensive Cherry models and found them all wanting in various aspects. This one ticks all the boxes: - Small and light, but sturdy - Full standard keyboard with no oddly placed keys - Responsive keyboard doesn't miss presses - Responsive touchpad which works with 2 finger scrolling, tap-to-click and two-fingered tap to right click. Worth the money.
