Original Chuwi HI10 PRO / Hibook / Hibook Pro Keyboard

I received the keyboard last week (It reached me before the tablet itself). When I touched it the first time I was so surprised of it's quality. From the pictures on the site it seemed very plasticy and I was very thrilled to find out it is not the case. It is a bit heavy though, but the metal materials that Chuwi used here are fantastic and feel great in the end. The keyboard feels solid and strong and it is very not slippery which is a big advantage for those of you that are interested in it because of portability. You could sit on the train or the bus or even at your home without the need to worry for the keyboard to fall from you (Same is true for the Chuwi Hi10 Pro by the way). The keyboard is very useful - It has an on/off indicator light regarding the tablet that is connected to it, and another light to indicate whether the caps lock key is pressed or not. There are two USB ports, one for each size (I'm assuming these are USB 2.0), and the keyboard keys themselves are very convenient - Not to high, not too low, great feedback when typing and the keyboard itself is big enough to not feel like you don't have a space to type on it. There are also shortcut keys for the tablet - volume up and down, brightness up and down etc., and this is very convenient. In addition, all of the shortcut keys that should work on Android worked flawlessly. The tablet feels much more like a notebook or specifically an ultrabook that you could work with it without any problemts.

All in all it is a very good purchase and I want to recommend it.

Suggestion

I wouldn't call it cons but those are things that are missing from the keyboard:
- If the USB Ports would have been 3.0 that would be great
- If there was an extra battery in the keyboard itself it could be great
- The mouse touchpad is a bit too small so some times when I pass my finger from the top of it to the bottom, it accidentally operates the shortcut to minimize all of the windows. Could be annoying sometimes.

-Hinge is solid
-Adds two USB 2.0 Ports
-Adds a bunch of media keys and other useful things like PrintScreen- all of which function as expected in Windows, most in the android OS as well
-Keys themselves have a good amount of travel, better than a lot of low end netbooks
-Rubber pegs on bottom are rounded off and wont go anywhere
-Good viewing angle
-Tablet auto detects when keyboard is attached, no messing with input settings required

-Does not add much depth or weight, see pics. Entire thing while attached is still narrower than a US $0.10 Dime, or about the fingernail on your thumb.

Suggestion

The trackpad could be a bit better, while reasonably accurate it feels hollow when used to click things. I find myself using the touchscreen anyway.

top quality keyboard for the Chuwi Hi10 Air. Connection to the Chuwi is nice and strong by magnets. It takes some excercise to quickly detach and re-attach the Chuwi to it

Its also possible to reverse the Chuwi on the keyboard to have a tablet experience or tablet stand

Would have been nice if the USB ports would do USB 3.0 speeds and the keyboard could act as a port extender with more ports and a USB-c port that could also be used for charging the Chuwi

Have a bit of trouble with the mouse pad that reacts to swipe moves. Its not just related to Win10, it also works in Linux and it sometimes is quite annoying. Multipoint touch is supported

Отличный товар за свои деньги. Пришёл быстро, за 19 дней до Воронежа (ЦФО).
Брака нет. 2 USB.
Собрана хорошо. Что-бы отключить жест сворачивания окон:
Если действительно аппаратно передаётся сочетание Win+D на свайп вниз, то очень просто решается проблема, создаёте в реестре в ветке HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced параметр DisabledHotKeys, тип "Расширяемый строковый параметр", значение параметра "D".Инструкция с 4PDA (sitis2016)

This makes my Chuwi Hibook feel like a full sized laptop when I have this connected. It is magnetic and is super easy to connect and disconnect. You barely need to line it up most of the time the magnet pulls it right into place. It is made out of metal and it feels really sturdy. The keys feel nice when they are depressed. It feels nice on my fingers. I love this keyboard and it is such an affordable price , I just had to buy it. 5 out of 5 stars for sure!

Suggestion

No complaints!
