I love this keyboard! It's made working in Procreate even easier. The value + price is phenomenal. Coming from a heavy Photoshop background, where the keyboard is instrumental in adding speed and ease, this keyboard is my new buddy when I'm painting in Procreate. Personally, I use the eyedropper key a TON. The undo/redo are second. I do wish there was a way to customize the keys, but it's not really a problem (and probably an app limitation, out of Aoktye's hands). There is a Quick Menu key, which is customizable in Procreate, which is handy. Honestly, the device itself doesn't seem to be built for durability, and it does feel lighter than I expected. Cosmetically, though, it is great, and the icons on the keys are very handy for getting used to it. Bluetooth works great, no connectivity issues. I haven't found any issues with battery life yet. I did notice something loose rattling a bit inside of it when I moved it around. It was minor, but a little annoying. I contacted the company, and they were VERY apologetic & responsive, and even quickly sent me a brand new keyboard at no cost (which does not have the same rattling issue). The eyedropper key didn't work at first for me. Through a fast response from Aoiktye, in order to get it to work, I had to go to "Gesture Controls" in the Actions menu in Procreate, then to the Eyedropper section, and toggled +Apple Pencil to "On".

I bought this and loved it. I bought a Tourbox for almost $300 I still prefer this. It does everything I need for Procreate. It's light weight and I've dropped it more than once and it still works. I have no issues with it at all. It's dang near perfect for what I need. Read more
I approached this one with a bit of caution at first, as I'd never owned anything like it before. After doing my research and watching some unboxing videos, I decided to go for it. Light-weight and zero noise/vibration, with a quick charge up, I've already put hours into my iPad-pro working seamlessly in Procreate with this device. May not be required for everyone, but it allows me to bring up windows/layers and adjust brush sizes, undo-redo more fluidly than before, to name a few. A fun and helpful, portable gadget. Read more
Was doubtful when I ordered this, but it paired to my iPad pro 3rd gen IMMEDIATELY after charging, and the buttons toggle different features in procreate quickly and effectively!! The only downside is that I wish it was USB-c charging and not micro USB. Read more
As a digital artist who draws for 4 hours every single day, this keypad has been a LIFESAVER. Pros: - Battery lasts forever. Charged it to 100% once and haven't had to charge it since - over a month later! This is with daily usage! - Almost all of the essential tools & hotkeys are on the pad. - Small & lightweight - can hold in your opposite hand with no weight fatigue. Lighter than a typical cellphone. - Auto shut-off feature! Shuts down after 15 mins of inactivity to save battery. Cons: - No option for a smudge tool. I'm a painter and I use smudge often. - While reprogrammable, each key has a specific icon, so any reprogrammed actions will be under a potentially unrelated icon. Overall, I super recommend this product. I'm sad I didn't get it sooner! Read more
Overall had a great short time with this keyboard. I feel like it worked well as advertised, and I got used to rely on it to shave seconds off per drawing session. Quick connection via bluetooth, responsive buttons, made my workflow more efficient. Charged it once, which lasted me a full three months. Wildy efficient battery life. However, when the battery was running low, and I went to charge it again, the micro USB port just didn't work. Not really sure what went wrong there, but it's a bummer that I can't use it any more because of a faulty, outdated USB port... if only they upgraded it to a USB C port, I'd be all-in. Also, my only other real complain is how the brush sizing works on this thing. The smaller the size of the brush you're currently working with, the larger the jump each tap of the button gives you. Seems like you go from 5% to 20% and from 20% down to 1% with one press, which is a huge leap. But when you go from 85% to 90% and from 90% down to 87%, which is a teeny relative difference. Even while holding shift to jump less per press, it's still either too much or too little of a jump depending on how big or small your brush currently is. Would definitely prefer a consistent 10% or 1% increase per press/shift+press respectively. To go along with that, I wish there was a brush opacity button or programmable keys, but alas. If AOIKYTE sends me a new one or a half priced replacement, I'd change this to 5 stars. Really enjoyed my time with it, but it should absolutely have a USB-C charging port, and those small other issues should be programmable. Read more
