I recently tested the Cool Backlit I8 Mini Wireless Keyboard to see if it could truly replace a standard mouse and keyboard setup for my living room media center. This compact device promises to streamline navigation on Android TV boxes and mini PCs, and I put its 2.4GHz connectivity through its paces.
The build is lightweight and ergonomic, specifically designed to fit comfortably in your hands for extended sessions on the couch. While primarily plastic, the unit feels sturdy enough to survive accidental drops, and the backlit keys provide excellent visibility in dim lighting conditions.
Setting up the device is as simple as plugging in the USB receiver, which provides a reliable connection that rarely drops during use. The air mouse functionality feels intuitive once you get the hang of the motion sensitivity, and the multi-touch pad makes scrolling through menus much faster than using a directional pad.
This is the perfect tool for users who want to declutter their living room and need a single, portable device to control their smart TV or mini PC media hub.
With an impressive 4.71/5 rating, the Cool Backlit I8 holds its own as a reliable and affordable companion for digital media setups. For $39.90, it is hard to find a more functional, portable solution that packs both a keyboard and an air mouse into such a small frame.
