Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard 308i Review: Cute Mini 84-Key Compact Keyboard
The Cute Mini 84-key Compact Keyboard (model number 308i) promises a blend of retro aesthetics and modern functionality. After spending several weeks using this green beauty, I’m ready to share my in-depth review.
This keyboard boasts a number of appealing features. Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable. The retro typewriter aesthetic, with its round keycaps and matte finish, is undeniably charming. The 84 keys provide a comfortable typing experience, despite the compact form factor. The multi-system compatibility (Windows, Android, iOS) is a definite plus, making it versatile for a range of devices. The 2.4GHz wireless connection ensures a stable and reliable connection, and the smart power-saving mode is a thoughtful addition.

In terms of performance, the 308i delivers a surprisingly satisfying typing experience. The keys offer a good amount of tactile feedback, and while not overly loud, they produce a pleasant, muted click. The key travel is shallow, which took some getting used to, but ultimately proved efficient. The connection remained consistently stable throughout my testing period, even at the edge of its 40-foot range. The power-saving features work seamlessly, automatically putting the keyboard to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. The multimedia shortcuts are a welcome addition, offering quick access to frequently used functions.
However, the shallow key travel might not suit everyone. Gamers or those who prefer a deeper, more pronounced keystroke might find it less satisfying. The lack of backlighting could also be a drawback for use in low-light conditions.
Pros:
- Compact and portable design
- Stylish retro aesthetic
- Comfortable typing experience
- Stable wireless connection
- Smart power-saving mode
- Multi-system compatibility
- Multimedia shortcuts
Cons:
- Shallow key travel
- Lack of backlighting
Overall, the Cute Mini 308i is a well-designed and surprisingly functional compact keyboard. Its stylish design, combined with its reliable performance and multi-system compatibility, makes it a great option for those seeking a portable and aesthetically pleasing keyboard for everyday use. While the shallow key travel might not appeal to all, its strengths easily outweigh this minor drawback for most users. I would happily recommend it to anyone in the market for a compact and attractive keyboard.
