Arteck Backlit USB Wired Keyboard: At a Glance
Priced at $34.99, the Arteck Backlit USB Wired Keyboard is Arteck's entry in the keyboards category. With 3,453 buyers rating it at 4.4 stars, it currently sits at #3 of 21 in our rankings. Sitting in the top 3 means it's competing directly with the BOOGIIO Large Print Keyboard ($16.23, 4.4★) for the category lead.
Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. The price range here typically gets you a sturdier frame and PBT keycaps that resist shine over time, which is a meaningful upgrade over budget tier.

From the Reviews
A 4.4-star average from 3,453 buyers means most are happy, but a meaningful slice - roughly 15-20% - has at least some complaint. The pattern in the negative reviews matters more than the average itself.
How It Stacks Against the Top
At $34.99, the Arteck Backlit USB Wired Keyboard sits slightly above the $31.35 category average. 13 options are cheaper and 7 are more expensive.
