TECHGEAR[Active Strike (M) Slim Line Bluetooth Wireless UK Keyboard With Keyboard Carry Case Cover for Tesco Hudl 2 (8.3") - Black

A super Bluetooth keyboard, with good size keys, smooth and positive action, plus a £ sign! A great product overall offering very good value for money.I bought this as an alternative to a plug-in keyboard/tablet case that I own, so my comparisons are partly relative to the keyboard I already have.Positives:-A genuine UK keyboard set-up, with a £ symbol and all the keys in the 'right' place.-Very positive action to the keys makes typing a joy - and much, much quicker than using an on-screen keyboard.-Sock cover provided with keyboard adequate for its protection.-Very thin profile but sturdily built.-Easy to set up and pair with tablet. Instructions good - does suggest you may need to change the settings on your tablet to ensure a true UK set-up although mine did not need it.-No more plugging and unplugging a cable into the side of the tablet.-Bluetooth functionality works perfectly.-Function buttons contain volume controls for tablet (that work), plus audio controls that work well with music player apps.-Supersoft base will not scratch the surface the keyboard may be rested on.-For my tablet it means I can charge the tablet at the same time as using a keyboard which I could not do with my plug-in one.Negatives:-Does not provide a case for your tablet, nor does it provide a stand that the all-in-one keyboard and cases offer.-Does not appear to have an 'Escape' key which I find useful for using spreadsheets on the tablet.-Does not provide a print-screen key, unlike my other keyboard, although you can get round it, depending on your tablet functionality.-The caps light does not appear to work, although this doesn't bother me.-Does mean that I have yet another device to keep recharging ... but charge should last for a long time.

Great little piece of kit. Very easyto bluetooth connect to Tesco Hudl2. Makes working with Word and Excel on the tablet more like using a computer. One thing - remember to switch off the keyboard and switch off bluetooth on huddle otherwise using up battery power very quickly. Glad I bought it as saves me taking my computer on holiday as normally store most things in the cloud. Perhaps will update this review in a few months to see how robust the keyboard is.

This is so easy and comfortable to use. It is smaller than a laptop keyboard but it's big enough to be comfortable in touch typing. I don't feel like my fingers are almost crossing one another when I type. I have used this in all different environments and find it the most useful tool I've bought for my tablet so far. Excellent value for money and easy to set up. I would highly recommend this product.

Being a "keyboard" person as opposed to a "tapper" I was not getting on very well with my new Hudl2. I spotted the details of the Techgear Active Strike keyboard and ordered it with my fingers crossed that it would answer the problem. It arrived speedily and is absolutely brilliant - just what I wanted - now my emailing is quick and easy! Thank you so much !!

It is much easier than the virtual keyboard on my Hudl 2. Easy to connect via Wi-Fi and makes the connection after a few seconds each time. The only real problem I find is, the CAPS lock light does not work. This is the second of these particular keyboards, I sent the first one back because of the CAPS lock light and purchased the second one from a different supplier but I still have the problem so will live with it for the convenience of the keyboard. There are a lot of keys that don't seem to do anything and there are no real instructions to explain how to use them.

The keyboard is thinner and much lighter than I was expecting, considering there is a rechargeable battery inside.So I was surprised at the decent feel, there is still enough chicklet style key travel as compared with the button keys on the iPazzPort I also have.TechGear Active Strike M seems a good fit for 8 to 11 inch tablets. I'm glad I waited for the M as even in its snug cover, together with my 10 inch tablet both fit comfortably inside the tablet's own case.(The iPazzPort I now use when I need a tiny keyboard and mousepad to carry in the pocket with a phone for occasional use to make typing bearable. You wouldn't type for hours at a time but it does work for controlling a media centre like Kodi.)1 star off because on this Techgear I can't see an Escape key, nor the Print Screen, Pause/Break functions.Factor whether this matters to you, or whether your OS can easily map another key like (`) perhaps with Fn.

This is the only full sized UK layout Bluetooth keyboard that I've found. It holds its charge well and is very responsive in typing and has connected to and worked with every device that I've tried so far. Much better than using the on-screen keyboard when typing anything longer than a text message.The only down side that I have found so far is that when watching YouTube videos on my HUDL 2 with this connected the video will occasionally pause. I don't know if this is the keyboard or the tablet as I haven't been able to use any other devices to test it so I haven't taken any stars off the score.

I've had this keyboard for a few weeks now, and it's transformed my Hudl2 into (almost) a personal computer. The only problem is - and this isn't the keyboard's fault - that the Hudl2 uses more power when Bluetooth is on, exasperating it's already poor battery life. This is balanced out by the quickness I can type compared to using the on-screen keyboard - especially when making corrections; with MY typing that's a lot of battery saved!
