My Experience Buying a Wireless Keyboard from Konga: Unboxing, Fixing, and Review

I have been thinking of getting a wireless Bluetooth keyboard for a while, but I have been procrastinating because I thought it was not something I needed and I could do without it for a while. But the urge to get a new keyboard drastically increased as my friend @olujay bought a keyboard from Oraimo. I wanted to do the same, but I did not like that the wireless medium used by Oraimo is infrared, and I preferred using a Bluetooth connection as I felt it would be easy to switch from using the keyboard with my computer to using it with my phone.

So I went online to Konga to find a keyboard I could buy that was affordable. I don't have a lot of money with me, so I was really looking at the price and trying to get the lowest price I could find, but I also looked at the specs and made sure that it connects via Bluetooth.

I found an item and placed the order, and in about two days I received a call from the rider saying that he was around my location and that I should come collect my package at a place not far from where he was. I was happy to see that my package had arrived and was ready to receive the order.

One more thing: when I ordered for a keyboard, I also ordered for a mouse, so I thought I would be receiving both orders that same day, but somehow, it turned out that I was wrong and I only got to receive my keyboard from the rider.

I collected the package and I took it home. Before entering my room, I had to take the opportunity to take some selfies with the package before unboxing it. I took the package to my table, placed it on my laptop, and took another shot, as you can see in the image below.

The day I received the package, @creativepearl was around, so I gave her the honour of helping me unbox the package herself, which she gladly did.

After she had removed the keyboard from its package, she handed it over to me, and I found out something annoying and disturbing that made me really very annoyed. I found out that the back cover of the keyboard had broken and that it was sold to me as new.

I got really angry when I remembered that orders from Konga do not accept return policies, which means that I cannot place a return order even if I get a bad package. This is the first time this stuff is happening to me, as I mostly order my items on Jumia, so if I receive any package that is bad, I place a return order immediately and my money will be refunded.

So I had to think of what to do with the keyboard, as the way the back cover is open makes no sense at all. So I had to look for sand and superglue that would help close it up. I put some sand in the opening, then closed it, and then I applied the super glue I bought to it.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE KEYBOARD AFTER USING IT

I decided to use the keyboard to see how it feels, and it is not really the way I expected it. I actually don't like it at all, with the way the keys bounce as I type and with the noise that the keys make. I said in my thoughts: "Would it not have been better to have gone for something more expensive that has a better quality than buying something less expensive and not being satisfied with it".

I concluded that I would manage with this keyboard for now and get a better one when I had more money.

I am expecting a Bluetooth mouse soon, and I hope that will not come with disappointment too. I would drop a review of what I think about the mouse when I receive it.
