Found this while searching for a Backlit keyboard. Came today.. Look and feel solid and high quality, aluminum body USB-C charging. Seem to be good price for a multi device keyboard with dual mode. Can pair with 3 devices 2x Bluetooth devices and 1x 2.4ghz dongle.
what a downer !
managed to get one n this msg, was $27.50
I think it back on now
Just bought one. Shipping was $11.44 so came to $41.69 total.
One little annoyance, there no where to store the dongle. Otherwise, overall nice keebs for the price
I decided to order one. I use a Logitech MX Keys S keyboard at home with my personal laptop and my work laptop when I work from home, however at the actual office even though we just relocated to a new office where everything is brand new and there’s a lot of expensive tech (for example $2000 Lenovo ThinkVision P40w-20 39.7-inch ultrawide curved monitors is what the team I’m in uses), they opted for wired keyboards and mouses… I’d rather use a wireless keyboard in the office like this.
Please provide an update on how it feels compared to the MX keys S. I love my MX keys so much.
Will do.
Stick with the mx.
I started with this one and the battery life was terrible. Lasted a few days at best. After less than 12 months it started developing a double keypress on the space bar that annoyed the cr@p out of me. I replaced it with the MX Keys S and it is night and day. The MX Keys is so much better and way more premium feeling.
What’s the icon on the middle key right of the space.. looks like a ghost from packman or a Ethernet plug ?
Looks like emoji and microphone key.
Website dead again.
Non-replaceable battery so I'll pass.
You only charge these things once in a month or two, so the battery should outlive the rest of the hardware.
Not if I throw a tantrum and ragequit when playing cs
Serious issues with the website. Repeatedly got database errors, finally made it through to the cart only to have it crash. Fought through to the cart again only to find the shipping had nearly doubled. Can't seem to complete payment via Paypal. Have given up.
Yeah same. Delivery kills the deal.
Its not a $200 keyboard. More about $40 to $50 on sale.
Its a HP keyboard.
@[Deactivated]: Why would I lodge a case/complaint with the ACCC and fair trading? Retailers have the right to charge any price.
Have you seen $1 coins being advertised on eBay for hundred of thousands of $$$? They are not doing anything illegal.
I just wouldn't buy it.
@[Deactivated]: I am just saying that the rrp is inflated.
It was $50 here:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/775044
@congo: And? As is the RRP for the majority of products. I said that I paid $30 for it plus $10 shipping, and that I think that was a good deal and value for “my” money, particularly when some retailers are selling it for substantially more. Your opinion is irrelevant to me, and you didn’t need to tell me what you’re subjective view is about the product, I’m not interested, and I’m sure why you think you’re important enough that I needed to hear it and I should listen?
@[Deactivated]: It wasn't for you alone, and you don't have to listen or respond.
And I am not important, I don't know why you would think that.
@congo: You responded to me first, you didn’t have to listen and respond. Why did it need to be for me at all? If you wanted to make a general comment you could’ve easily done that without quoting me.
@[Deactivated]: There is freedom of speech, I was responding to your $200, saying that it was inflated. I didn't quote you.
Its not a $200 keyboard. More about $40 to $50 on sale.
If you don't agree, then that is perfectly fine.
@congo: And that (freedom of speech) goes both ways. You told me that I don’t have to listen and respond, and that goes for you to. You are still failing to explain why you originally commented and what your actual valid point is? At the moment it just seems like you’re arguing for the sake of it. I simply stated a fact about the price that some retailers are charging for this product, however even though that has nothing to do with me you decided that you wanted to argue with me over it… Again I don’t care what your subjective view is about this product and what you think its value/worth is, go tell someone else if that’s all you have to say.
@[Deactivated]: I know that you don't care, its obvious from your tone and language.
I didn't quote you or give you negative votes, so don't be offended.
@congo: You’re just figuring out that it’s obvious by my tone and language now? You sure did quote me first, go back up to my original post, where I speak about ordering this keyboard using my iPhone and having no issue with their website or PayPal, and follow it down.
@[Deactivated]: I don't know why you are angry? upset? Are you?
Relax man, none of this is important. It's only $40.
@congo: I’m not upset at all. I just want you to explain what the purpose of you responding to me in the first place was, and if you have a valid point what that actually is for a reply to have been warranted? Otherwise, acknowledge that you didn’t need to and probably shouldn’t have quoted me at all, and then we can move on.
@[Deactivated]: The purpose was to let readers know that the $200 rrp is inflated, and it has been on sale for much less.
@congo: Your reason makes no sense and again just suggests from the beginning that you commented for the sake of it, because if members are in this thread then they are already aware that the $200 RRP is inflated and that it has been on sale for much less.
My original point was that another member was complaining about this current bargain and the keyboard being $30, plus shipping, and this price being too expensive, mentioning the $200 RRP was simply to put their whinging about $30+shipping in to perspective.
@[Deactivated]: seriously? people losing cool and sleep over what? what a waste of keystroke and brain matter!
@congo: Remember this moment, and save it for when you’re on your death bed wondering why you wasted so much of your time on OzBargain posting 14740 comments, and probably commenting on many other websites too.
@[Deactivated]: I've been a long time member of OzBargain, and yes active member on other sites as well.
I don't regret it.
@congo: Which indicates that you don’t have much going on in your life if you don’t have anything more important and productive to be doing where you could be more wisely using the time… We only get one life, it’s amazing in 2024 just how many people waste so much of their time commenting on the internet, often to complete strangers.
@[Deactivated]: It seems Cevolution from your collective comments here that you don’t in fact give two craps - or even just the one - about anything or anyone. I hope you find peace in your life.
Yeah just buy a keychron never buy another keyboard ever again
Which keychron? Do you have a link?
I have keychron the battery sucks now and i dont know how i can replace it
you can replace any part on a keychron including battery youtube it.
I use this for work as the default company issued keyboard and think it’s a great low profile keyboard, would recommend if that’s your vibe.
Great keyboard, had mine for about a year and it hasn't skipped a key. The backlight is a nice touch.
The only negative is the battery life with the backlight feature on isn't great ~ lasts about 1 week between charges for my 10ish hour usage per day.
This is old stock, battery life on mine was terrible, had to recharge it every day.
And it developed double typing after a couple of months. I'm not alone in this:

Also HP software is garbage.
I had the double typing issue as well. Threw it in the bin
Hav you contacted HP for a warranty claim?
It doesn't pass the warranty check:

been using it for quite a while, only downside is bad battery.
Does anyone know of a cheap HP mouse to pair with the keyboard and use the same keyboard dongle?
There is also a HP USB-C Travel Hub G2 (7PJ38AA) for $16.50 which sounds promising for that price:
https://eliteprintsolutions.au/shop/hp-usb-c-travel-hub-g2-7…
I m thinking of getting a HP 935 mouse, can use same dongle.
That seems expensive :-)
yes waiting for price drop 😁
@topdealhunter: I will try pairing a normal HP Bluetooth mouse with it when I get the keyboard. The pairing instruction implies that mouse connects to keyboard via Bluetooth.
Yeah, that hub seems like great value. It won't compete with a full dock but I doubt you'd find better for the price.
Yes price wise seems too good
What a strange combination, an USB-C hub the supports analogue video.
Maybe buy a Bluetooth dongle and then any Bluetooth mouse
THANKYOU!!!! just bought one with with shipping to Newcastle @ $42
I have the same keyboard. Love it very much but the down side is short battery have to charge very often. I tried $100-$200 keyboard/mech keyboard (borrowed from mates) always come back to this HP. The software is pretty useless so been using it without software. I use BT connection.
how long you've had it? and how often do you charge it?
Oh I can't remember how long. Maybe 1-1.5yrs? I feel like I need to charge every 3-4 days but I never switch it off and I use it around 10hrs a day roughly. But overall I'd buy it again if ever mine become faulty.
Will this be good for playing games?
thanks wanted one for my media server for a few years
Thanks OP just had mine delievred and doing thr 3hr initial charge.
Any idea if i can use the rf dongle to work on initial bootup for a new system without an OS on HP T640 thin client or will i need a wired keyboard?
Same here - did the initial 3 hr charge (LED above number pad started orange, and then turned white a few hours later). Plugged in and using now, and doesn't seem to be getting over 20% charge according to the HP app? Means when I disconnect the USB-C cable, it just turns off.
Let me know how you get on, fingers crossed your experience is smoother…
I think these keyboards are old stock and the battery stored without charge so its lost its capacity hence the discount.
Does your keyboard work for access to bios etc before the OS loads?
Super disappointing if so given it's not mentioned anywhere on the product page.
Yes - provided it's plugged in.
Wouldn't warranty cover this?
For me the serial number didn't pass the warranty check on HP website.

Is there a numlock on this? I hope there is I just purchased thinking it would.
Brought one to see if the rechargable battery is usable or not. The worst case is replacing its old battery myslef or go to bin.
if old stock and battery is dud I'll have to return 3 :(
Ordered yesterday, item is apparently being delivered today, inner Melbourne.
Couriers Please did not leave, despite me selecting that they could. It was left at a local newsagency, at least a local shop gets some of my delivery fee.
It feels good and looks nice, I'm happy with the value.
Exactly the same. No attempt at delivery, but newsagent by lunch time so meh. The hand hover backlight is pretty cool.
Attempted delivery failed for me this afternoon with the reason: "No parking" :-)
Where do you live on a highway?
No in Wahroonga and have never had this excuse before 😊.
They were probably running late for happy hour.
Has anyone else been able to check for warranty information on HP web site?
What’s up with the battery lol? 2 days max? My iPhone lasts longer. Nah, this is not fit for purpose.
I have ordered the same keyboard from this website and used it for over 1 year. I did not notice any battery issue. Sturdy design. Recommend for everyone.
bought in september still fine, 2 days sound really bad. I suspect that it might be connect via bluetooth but not BLE
Ouch, 87 clicks and website is down
