In android, when screen off the operating red light on the keyboard stays on and there is a considerable battery drain during night. I think that is the keyboard because wifi was off and previous keyboard has no night battery drain…
Same problem with a USB small pen which is connected to tablet and powered on even with tablet off.
Maybe some settings in bios could solve both problem disabling power to usb and or pogo pin while off or while screen off??
With wireless keyboard no power problems. No noticeable use of current. I have considered buying Chuwi kb but have abandoned the thought for sure. Most importantly because it is not possible to use it in portrait mode. I am afraid I am repeating myself, sorry
Well I’ve got both – the original Chuwi aluminium keyboard (for travel purposes) and cheap 2.4GHz fullkeyboard+mouse set for home use (Chuwi is then connected to my old fullhd 24” monitor located besides my 27” 2.5k monitor of my desktop PC). So at home I can use it with the same comfort as the desktop PC…
According the aluminium keyboard I’m missing few things which could be there: second battery and full SD slot. Am I expecting too much? I don’t thing so – my very old Asus Transformer (10” tegra/android tablet) has this type of keyboard – with secondary battery which can significantly extend the tablet life and full SD slot. They had to make the keyboard heavy anyway (to make it stable), so why not put $10 worth “powerbank” there???
I agree with you. my tf201 transformer has battery and full sd slot, but the keyboard costed more….
did you notice a huge battery drain when using new metal keyboard on hi12 more than old cheap plastic one? I sold the old one but I am sure it had no drain at all….
