🧿 Mini Wireless Keyboard V8 – Air Mouse with Backlit Touchpad
I picked this one up because I was looking for something compact for my Android TV box. The idea of having a wireless mini keyboard that also acts as an air mouse was appealing—especially for couch use.
What drew me in was the combination of backlit keys (great for nighttime use), the touchpad in the center, and the support for 2.4G and Bluetooth. Setup was instant—plug in the USB dongle and it worked right away.
Using it has been mostly smooth. It feels good in the hands, and the air mouse function is surprisingly responsive. The keyboard isn’t meant for long typing sessions, but for media control, logging into apps, and quick searches—it’s fantastic.
Pros:
-
Lightweight and very portable
-
Backlit keys (7 colors!)
-
Air mouse works without lag
-
Rechargeable via micro-USB
-
Great range (about 10 meters)
Cons:
-
Touchpad sensitivity can be hit or miss
-
Plastic feels a bit cheap
-
No power switch (auto-sleep only)
Compared to something like the Logitech K400 in the US (which runs $30–40), this came in at a third of the price and delivers 70–80% of the functionality. Definitely met my expectations—great value for casual use.

🧿 i8 Backlit Air Mouse Keyboard – Multilingual Mini Keyboard
I ordered this as a backup for the V8 above but ended up liking it almost more. I got the Spanish version for a friend who’s more comfortable with that layout.
Why I chose it: The design is iconic, the backlighting is bright, and it has language layout options. Plus, the form factor is super ergonomic—it fits in both hands like a game controller.
My experience: Easy to connect, very intuitive. The backlight helps a lot in dim rooms, and the built-in touchpad makes it feel like a laptop experience.
Pros:
-
Comfortable in-hand feel
-
Multilingual layout availability
-
Stable 2.4G wireless connection
-
Rechargeable and holds charge well
Cons:
-
Touchpad is small
-
Limited function keys
-
Slight learning curve with some layout differences
This was about $12 on AliExpress vs. $30+ for similar units on Amazon. Absolutely worth it.

Ultra-lightweight

Easy Bluetooth pairing

Feels a little flimsy
Still, for under $10, it’s an excellent deal compared to Logitech K380 or Arteck wireless keyboards priced 3–4x higher.

Overall Verdict
Honestly, I was skeptical going in—AliExpress is hit or miss. But all 12 items either met or exceeded expectations. The build quality has improved a lot compared to a few years ago. Every keyboard worked out of the box, and shipping (about 2–3 weeks average) was predictable and well-packaged.
Would I recommend these products? Absolutely. Especially if you’re into keyboards or tech accessories but want to avoid the premium markup in US stores. I’m already browsing for more AliExpress finds.
