Official Chuwi Hi10 Keyboard dock Hands on (Video)

[Ashraf]

Very Nice review Mr.Chris.

Even i received my keyboard dock 3 days befor from VC mall( I upgraded BT keyboard to docking by paying 10$ extra)

My experience with VC mall is pretty good. They had faulty initial sets, so they delayed their shipment .

Great review Chris. Pity there doesn’t seem to be any function key to disable the touchpad on the keyboard.  You can use device manager in windows to disable/enable just the touchpad.  It should also be possible with a utility like DevManView  http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html to create batch files (and corresponding desktop shortcuts) to disable and enable the touchpad.

Also when you have had a chance to use the keyboard for a while – I would  like to know if you experience any display issues (i.e lines or distorted colors on part of the display)  when waking the tablet after it has been in sleep mode while docked. This sometimes occurs for the Hi10 one of my family has. If you undock the tablet, the screen comes good and you can redock without any issue.

I need a way to disable the tapping on the touch pad,  it drives me nuts. I did set up a separate thread on this but no leads so far…over to you chris if you find a solution

I got my keyboard from VC mall ,Aliexpress, and i am very satisfied. When i ordered it, i asked if they had a Danish keyboard,i am from Denmark, and they said they only had English keyboard. But when i got it, it was a Danish keyboard. So i recommend to ask them if you need a keyboard with special letters in your country.

Okay there was some delay that meant I had to wait. And after 2 weeks of waiting for the dock to ship I gave up with VC Mall. Normally they are good, must have been Chuwi’s fault.

You mean to disable the touchpad all together? Seems there is no key on the keyboard for it with isn’t good, most keyboards even the Vi10 has a buttom to disable it.

Using some info I found here:
http://www.grievancegaming.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=693&t=38545&p=246756

I figured out a way to toggle the TouchPad on and off using DevManView.exe and a batch file.
I used Device Manager and DevManView to find the Device Instance ID of the touchpad. It appears as a “HID-compliant mouse” under “mice and other pointing devices”. The Device Instance ID I found was “HID\VID_0C45&PID_8506&MI_01&Col03\8&f30f932&0&0002”. I assume this is the same on all the touchpads, if not you will need to find this and modify the batch file accordingly.

1. Download the 64 bit version of DevManView from:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html

2. Unzip the files to a folder. In my case I used c:\utility\devmanview

3. Create a text file in the same folder with the following code (Change the first line if the folder where you saved devmanview.exe is different and change the 2nd line if your Touchpad Device Instance ID is different):

set DEVMANPATH=c:\utility\devmanview
set DEVICEID=”HID\VID_0C45&PID_8506&MI_01&Col03\8&f30f932&0&0002″
if exist “C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\TPadOFF.lnk” (
“%DEVMANPATH%\DevManView.exe” /enable %DEVICEID%
rename “C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\TPadOFF.lnk” “TPadON.lnk”
) else (
“%DEVMANPATH%\DevManView.exe” /disable %DEVICEID%
rename “C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\TPadON.lnk” “TPadOFF.lnk”
)

4. Rename the text file TPadToggle.bat

5. Create a shortcut to TPadToggle.bat on your desktop.
– rename the shortcut to TPadON
– right click the shortcut to change the properties of the shotcut to run “minimized” and go to “advanced”
and select “run as Adminstrator”

To use this, just click on the TPadON shortcut and it will disable the Touchpad and rename the shortcut as “TPadOFF”.
Click again and the Touchpad will be enabled and the shorctut renamed as “TPadON”
NOTE: If you set the “User Account Control” to “Never Notify” you will not have to deal with the “User Account Control” pop up window.

UPDATE:  Because of the way the text is displayed in this forum, copying and pasting does some unexpected changes, especially to the quotation marks in the code. You can download the batch file here:
