Practical Mini Bluetooth Keyboard

The Mad Catz STRIKE M is a wireless Bluetooth keyboard in miniature. The keyboard is wide in the widest point just below 30 cm. The keys are almost exactly 1 cm * 1 cm tall and illuminated from below. The keyboard is compatible with Windows, Android, iOS and Mac.

The connection of the keyboard with the Bluetooth enabled device (tested with Nexus 7 Tablet and Samsung S4 smartphone) is very simple. Just switch on the keyboard and looking to the tablet / smartphone / ... by Bluethoothgeräten and ready. The keyboard can store up to 4 different devices.

The keyboard has a German keyboard layout (QWERTY). There is a small sensor array that replaces a mouse and keyboard to control multimedia applications.

You can write with the keyboard very well in 2-Finger-System; for the keys are still large. "Right," Touch is more difficult.

The integrated "mouse" -Sensorfeld some getting used to, and not a full replacement for a mouse but still quite useful.

The multimedia keys work only sometimes. When I watch a video in the YouTube app, I can stop it with the play / pause button and start again. I press but the "Chapter Forward" button, so start in addition to Youtube video also the last heard music file.

An accessory is a rack, an envelope and a charging cable is included. The stand make my opinion does not make sense, because you can not use the keyboard in the stand, as they then wobbles when touched. The sleeve is made of neoprene suitable (or a very similar material) and good for storing the keyboard. The charging cable has a USB port. Thus, the keyboard on the PC or a USB charger can be charged. A charger not included.

Because my idea was to use the keyboard to write on the tablet, e-mails and postings easier, I am very satisfied with the keyboard. Other functions (media keys, mouse) are not fully developed. Because at a keyboard but the keyboard is the most important thing, I forgive nevertheless 4 stars.
