ProtoArc KM100-A Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse for Mac, Space Gray

This was the right keyboard for me. I've tried 3 or 4 others. Even one of this same brand (the mechanical feeling one with thicker keys). I loved it, but the keys were too soft surprisingly, causing a lot of typos. Then with other brands, I went through literally 3 different keyboards because keys would stop working, or work intermittently when pressed. They were nice enough to replace for me, but just didn't work out. Finally ordered THIS keyboard, and it is on the money. Nice backlighting you can easily turn on, off, or dim. The feel is just stiff enough and has a nice rebound. And it's plastic but still feels heavy and nice like an Apple or other brand name would. This is better than most Logitech lower end stuff. If you want something like the NICE expensive Logitech models, this would be it at a lower price point. Worth it! The mouse I am not using on this set, it wants to be nice, and is okay, but on my particular desk surface is a little whacky. If I had a mouse pad I'm sure it would be great. But I'm using the Apple Magic Mouse for better precision on my desk. The keyboard alone is worth it for me in this though. Very good quality and connection. Arrived charged up and still haven't had to plug it in yet after 4 or 5 days of use :D.

I am extremely happy with this keyboard and mouse combo. I recently switched to a MacBook Air setup with an external monitor and wanted something wireless, compact, and easy to use. This set has been perfect. The keyboard has a very clean, modern design and feels solid and responsive while typing. The mouse is comfortable to use and glides smoothly. I also really like the ability to connect through multiple Bluetooth channels. Setup was straightforward, and once connected, everything has worked reliably. The rechargeable feature is a huge plus and helps me keep. my desk uncluttered. What impressed me most was the customer service support. I had a question during setup, and ProtoArc responded quickly, professionally, and very patiently. Overall, this feels like a high-quality at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

6 Month Update (Still 5 stars!!!) I am still beyond happy with this keyboard and mouse combo! Battery life has been more than enough; so much so that I will travel to different presentations, and I am comfortable that I will have zero issues as long as the keyboard and mouse have been charged within the past few days. The power buttons make traveling a breeze, and the sleek design allows the keyboard to fit in my backpack or briefcase. Gone are the days of presenting and being tied to my laptop, I can present from across the room if needed. Something I find fun, swapping between devices with the press of a button! If I am packing light and just want to bring my iPad? I switch to the 2nd option. I have even tested the connection with my phone… and though I rarely use it for this due to iOS continuity, it works very well! Dare I say someone could type up an entire presentation on their phone? (They could!) I am confident in this product, and it continues to stand out in price point, functionality, and quality! Original Review: So far, so good! I am enjoying the ease of use this keyboard provides. I am currently using my GI Bill to get a BS degree and the efficiency this keyboard provides is beyond my expectations. The keyboard is sturdier than I expected, and the mouse has an aesthetically pleasing, sleek, low profile, and both pair well with both my MacBook and my iPad. I have yet to have any issues with battery life as the set stays charged for days and I just charge it on occaision with no connection issues. For the price point? You can't lose. The only slight drawback, which was so miniscule I see no reason to deduct a star, is the keyboard is completely flat, so if you want adjustment, you will need to angle the keyboard with something to your comfort level. All in all, this has been a great purchase!

My work MBP has handoff disabled so I couldn't use my Apple KB/mouse from my other inputs and was looking for an alternative - having multiple BT inputs was a great solution. PROS Easily sync's between multiple computers KB has a great feel to it and looks are on par with the Apple KB for a fraction of the price. CONS Having to flip the mouse over to change BT inputs is extremely annoying. It should either somehow sync with the KB or the DPI button should have been used for BT input instead. KB battery life is not the best. I am charging it weekly instead of monthly for the Apple KB. Not the end of the world, but disappointing. I wish battery life for each was listed under the BT icon like the Apple KB/mouse are. Great solution for my situation - some minor changes would make it incredible.

I very rarely give customer reviews - I can't even remember the last time I did. I felt like I needed to give one regarding this product though, the ProtoArc Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse (KM100-A). I accidentally spilled coffee on my previous wireless/bluetooth keyboard and it stopped working so I needed a new one quickly. I found this one (to be fair, I considered a few others as well), and it seemed it had everything I needed. Honestly, I wasn't looking for anything more over the top from the keyboard. I was sincerely surprised (in a good way) with the quality packaging - not just the box in came in, but inside there is a "Thank You for choosing us" envelope and card from Howard (the designer), a mini-foldout with other products, a quick start guide/card, and an actual user manual. Again, all these seemed to be of thoughtful quality. Keep in mind, I haven't even opened the actual product at this point. When I did, I noticed the keyboard was wrapped quite nicely in a sort of a soft plastic type of covering. When I removed it from the wrapping, I saw right away that the keyboard also comes with a type-able keyboard cover to prevent damage from spills (exactly the kind of thing I need - 😁) as well as normal wear and tear. It also comes with a mouse that I didn't necessarily need but it is also of high quality, and wrapped similarly. To be fair, I haven't used the mouse yet as I didn't really need it. So I can't reply on mouse lag, etc. I've been using this keyboard for about a week or so now, as of the writing of this review and I couldn't be more pleased. I feel like I paid far less for this keyboard than my previous keyboard and got far more quality. It feels high end. The keys are smooth to type. Zero lag from keyboard to screen when typing. The backlight is brilliant (and has a few different brightness options. My previous keyboard also required a bit of a tap on a key to sort of wake it up before being able to use it. This keyboard doesn't seem to require that, it just works as I begin to type, despite however long I am away, or how long it's in sleep mode. I also love that it allows the ability to connect to 3 separate devices via bluetooth. I could honestly go on and on. I believe this is specifically for Mac/Apple products only, so it may not work with Microsoft products, etc - not 100% sure about that though, to be fair. Excellent product!

I made this purchase on 08/2025. I use it for work, 8+ hours a day and it has been working flawlessly. I can bluetooth connect both the keyboard and & mouse to 3 different computers and interchangeably switch them anytime. BY THE WAY- this product DOES work for my Windows laptop via Bluetooth. Switching them for use is very easy. The battery life has been so-so. I turn the keyboard off every use. But that's a given since I use it 8+ hours weekdays and I max out the LED backlit. That's one of the best features. I'm a night owl and keep my room dark & hate desk lamps. The back-lit keyboard feature has been my favorite and lights each button to precision. One of the best things about this keyboard is it's identical to the Apple keyboard model A1843 so you can find a keyboard cover that fits accurately. This has been a great purchase. Any cheap-overseas product goes defective for a few months.

A company specializing in Ergonomics started by Joey He, the company is based in Texas, Hong Kong, China and Germany, but I'm not sure where they are HQ'd. This is a mfr that is serious about their branding enough that they have a website and look to be launching much in the way of the major brands and others, the quality rivaling that of Msft whom as of a few years back stopped making Keyboards and Mice focusing on their core products. The packaging is a step beyond, with an envelope as if you purchased a luxury vehicle. They even include a silicon cover, they didn't have to, but they did. This is quality. So the only Zonk (hats off to my fav Youtuber for that word) is the exclusion of a screenshot key. They do have it on their Windows version. The travel is satisfying, and unlike 90 percent of keyboards out there, the light stays on as you type, it doesn't just fade out after a few minutes and you have to hit the light again. This might be the reason why there is some heft in the keyboard as I suspect the battery has to support this feature. I have a vision issue and I can tell you, this is very easy to see and use. As an excel user, the separate page up and page down home and end keys are an added plus, Also the light button is on its own, mfr's often stick that in with another key and I don't like that at all, make it easy to see. You can use this on 3 separate devices. I plan to get their Ergo keyboard, it's pricey, around $90, for work, but with this level of quality it should work for quite a while, plus no need to use a USB, it has a persistent BT which means I don't have to keep telling it to connect to my iMac 27". USB chargeable on both this and the Mouse. The Mouse- One up on Apple it charges front facing so you can use it. However the Apple Magic Mouse doubles as a gesture driven device whereas this one does not. Still this is functional, I prefer my Skulpt side wrist mouse, but use this sometimes as well. Not a bad add on as it comes together, plus it's travel friendly. Doesn't come with a USB dongle. Color is sort of Space Grey.

I purchased this keyboard about a month ago, and I have been nothing but satisfied -- actually very happy -- with my order. I have been using the keyboard at home with my macbook pro. In fact, I was so happy I purchase that I just bought another one to use at work with the same macbook! However, here is why I have only given it 4 stars instead of 5. Both models I purchased were space gray. On the keyboard I got at home, the Esc key (top left) has a little Fn Lock icon on it, and I can use Fn + Esc to dynamically switch the function keys betweeen F1-F12 (or whatever) and the Media keys. I really like being able to switch this dynamically -- on the keyboard itself -- without having to go into the System Settings. That was on the unit I purchased one month ago... and you can still see that Fn+Lock key (as of today) on the product photography shown above for the WHITE model... not the space gray one (anymore). HOWEVER, on the new unit that I just arrived today, everything seems identical EXCEPT the new one does not have the Fn+Lock icon, nor does pressing Fn+Esc have any effect at all. So apparently, on the new keyboard, I still have to make the switch system-wide in the System Settings app. I am a little bit miffed about this unannounced change -- I purchased both keyboards/mouse combos exactly one month apart and based on the same Amazon page, which reports I have purchased the same thing (same model, same color) now twice -- but one has Fn+Lock and one does not. But other than this difference, like I said, I am mostly satisfied. I love a good wireless keyboard + mouse combo, and I like the layout of this keyboard (where Fn is in the middle island, vs. down at the bottom amidst the other modifier keys). One possible downside I have seen is that the keyboard can take a few seconds to reconnect if/when I wake the computer from sleep... sometimes that catches me when I'm typing my password in. But it's not bad. Overall the keyboard is an excellent value. Battery life is not stellar, but it's satisfactory... I have only had to charge the keyboard once and the mouse once in the month I've had them. I like the feel of the keys, although I will also say, the keyboard is very flat and it does not have anything to angle/prop it up. So if you are accustomed to using a wrist rest, that may raise your hands too far above the keys for comfort... it seems to work better with my wrists on the desk I think. But I'm not complaining about this, just something to adjust to. Overall despite these minor quibbles, I really like it.

Es un excelente producto

Great product but no Arabic

Perfect product! It connects quickly between devices and very smooth. I have been using it since 1 or 2 now. Sometimes my mouse is hovering on 1 screen and my keyboard is active on another screen, this feature is very convinient for me if screen 2 is touch screen which doesnt need mouse. It enables working more efficiently

El teclado se ve muy bien y en color negro con la iluminación luce, pero francamente muy endeble, tecleas en medio y se “pandea” el teclado, definitivamente por el costo no vale la pena, me quedo con Logitec en calidad de materiales

El teclado se lagea muchísimo cuando entra en modo de descanso y se reactiva. La carga de batería dura muy poco (uso la opción más leve de iluminación del teclado). En ocasiones hay teclas que a pesar de ser marcadas no son registradas. El mouse es mas eficiente pero igualmente la carga de energia dura poco.
