Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 | Better luck next time Samsung ! 

You forgot the mention that the K380 has bluetooth 3.0 and horrible connectivity. The Samsung uses bluetooth 5.0, much more stable. What good is a keyboard if you have to reconnect it every 15 minutes?

Finally a review of this keyboard. Thanks for going so deep, really useful. Liked the landmines :)

I have been using Samsung Trio 500 for about 1 year and more now, and it still works great and the crisps is still the same!

Welp, that about did it for me. Samsung had such a good opportunity to steal back some users from Logitech but it is obvious they couldn't pull it off. You covered all the bases and helped me save $40! Thanks MrP

I actually quite like this keyboard and the slim mouse that is bundled with it. I don't know why the app buttons didn't work for you. I'm running an S20 Ultra and it works really well. So does the DeX button.

The Samsung trio keyboard is designed to work with devices featuring UI 3.1, so no wonder it does not work with your note 9. It is sth that Samsung talks about when advertising the product.

Thanks for the in depth review. Amazingly helpful. Exactly the things you cannot find by reading specs.

I was torn between the two. I wanted the Samsung keyboard as I thought it would work much better with the Galaxy ecosystem. But they were excellent arguments, so I think I'll choose Logitech equipment. Thanks for the video!

Good and comprehensive review, although the brightness control on monitor issue is not fair. Even the connected computer cannot do this. All monitors are just dumb display with few buttons for basic local control to adjust fundamental aspects of the screen like brightness, contrast etc. The only monitor that I know so far has integration with specific hardware connected to it is that LG 5K Display for Mac which lets user directly adjust brightness from Mac keyboard because it got special support from Apple, the feature not working on Windows, Mac only ...

Thank you! I was about to buy this, but I couldn't find out any information about the default function state. I'm just going to stick with my discontinued K810, you saved me! :D

So I have the S8+ tablet and just got the slim keyboard yesterday since the official other keyboard with the trackpad cost like 3 times as much, I got it for 94$ new with 103$ tax on sale. Well Ive been subbed to you for a while and I want to know do you reccomend this over the slim keyboard or the keyboard with the mouse pad, and if you count THIS keyboard in your video out would you rather use the slim keyboard cover or the keyboard cover with trackpad.

Thanks now we know if we should buy or skip this keyboard. Great video man. You just helped out a lot of dex users with this one.

Just got the keyboard ffor free with my new phone. I have been using it on my Tab S7 and... F1-F3 keys work great! F4 - Cmd key doesnt open app drawer on my tablet. So this function is a must-have. F12 - extremely frustrating button. My Huawei laptop has function keys on by default, but I can short press Fn to get the traditional F1-12 behavior. I wish Samsung included this.

Thanks for your review, you are probably the only honest review I found about this device. Sorry but I'm really upset because I do not like to admit I have purchased a faulty device but I have to. First, as you said the App buttons are just decorative because they do not work but even more the connection is not consistent at all and....on top of that suddenly few keys stopped working and you cannot fix it....Honestly Samsung should be ashamed and retire from the market this faulty product.

Thanks for the great review. I wonder If I use it for windows and when I use the F buttons I have to push FN right? For debugging (like F5, F8 etc). You said there is no option for closing FN button right? Will I always use the FN+F buttons?

Hello, the video presentation was good, thank you, I have a question. This keyboard has a screen shot from a computer or tablet. If there is a screenshot, can you tell me which key it takes, thanks

Thanks very much for such a thorough review

Tap and hold the Fn key, and tap the Escape key once. That will toggle the Fn key behavior.

Well explained! Wanted to ask, how do you keep the Display of a Samsung Tab off, if you've connected it to a Monitor and using the Dex mode? If I use my Tab via Type C over to a monitor and turn off my Tab's display, the monitor turns off as well. Please make a video or explain if you can here. TIA.

Very detailed and specific, I like it.

Unfortunately i bought this keybord without knowing about the function button issue. Is there any way to disable this default behaviour? A lot of games uses F-buttons, and when I need them i can't reach to them easily...

absolutely great review

Huge thanks for this!

Hi... I think this keyboard has been working great with an external monitor as I didn't see any sort of glitches past two weeks. 😊

Guys I am planning to buy the Samsung keyboard trio 500 I have the Samsung Tab a 8.0 2019 T295 . DOES IT WORK WITH THAT?

would u know if 1 letter is stuck, can it be repairable?

Samsung is the best keyboard ever i test play emulator is work and f1 f2 f3 is for assignment key to open the app and has a alot of funtion and can pair bluetooth up to 3 device

Could not turn off FN key is absolutely disaster ... and when I in my tablet and i want to use numbers, i have to pres FN.... wtf? For solid work is this keyboard not applicable

Does it work on a Samsung tab a7?

Value for money bery good keyboard

ugh, the media keys and fn lock. what a mess

im not a fan of them altering functions of f keys with those orange keys and entirely changing locations of other keys. this inihbits productivity and typing speed. if they decided to make it a few inches larger keyboard to keep things more in tact i would like it more. also i dont mind new keys added above the f keys, i'd like that more than altering existing f keys. most keyboards that have it in tact well, they don't seem to function well with samsung dex. like certain keyboard shortcuts would affect my phone while others affect the samsung dex making it hard to use samsung dex with those keyboards.

When keyboard goes to sleep mode, is it wake up easly? and how many minutes does it take to go sleep mode?

Is there any fix for the fn button?

I can basically get this keyboard for free, I mean is it worth it at that price?

Try going into rhe app and hold the app button for about 5 sec,until it shows on the screen it is mapped

Question: My bluetooth keyboard keeps losing connection with my Samsung Note 20 Ultra.​ I have to constantly connect the keyboard to the phone.​ What to do?☹

What game are you playing at time 6:32? Thanks

Oh boy. You spent so much time to thoroughly check the keyboard, Why samsung didn't even think about all this before releasing this product.

litterally these buttons '0' , '-' , 'p' , '[' , ';' ,' '' ', '.' dont work for me samsung can you explain me why ?

I'm not sure the review is fair i tried both of the keyboard i mean the logitech and the samsung i don't think the logitech is better it's an old keyboard with connectivity issues the typing experience is better on samsung keyboard beside that the logitech feels and looks old as it is a 2015 version with the same price you can get a new modern keyboard especially if you are on samsung ecosystem thanks man for the review but you were not fair

Hello, Can I connect a Samsung Smart Keyboard Trio 500 to a Smart TV ?

I get the feeling you are not impressed ;) Cracking review..

Can we charge the batteries

Bela dica de teclado, e ele é muito portável. Como estamos com aulas remotas, quando uso via DeX tenho usado o teclado do meu pc, um Keychron k2, muito bom.

i dont recommend this keyboard if you are using it for window. The fn locks is not available in this keyboard. I AM SO REGRET BOUGHT THIS KEYBOARD.

how do i take a screenshot from the keyboard?

I use Click&Touch 2 with samsung dex. Would have liked to see a competitor to this but maybe Prestigio has patent on it.

No way to connect my samsung tablet. İ write the numbers press enter and nothing. No connection neither any warning. And this problem had been several times but somehow i could connect after countless try! For two days this luck has gone.

Thank you very much.

By the way I noticed you have the EU version with the short shift/big enter buttons. This is what's keeping me from buying the Logitech right now. I prefer US layout as this is what I always work with. Need this keyboard for flex working. This could be annoying switching between keyboards but I cannot find other suitable options. Do you always use this layout?

can you make an updated review an see if they fixed the issues?

Really useful. Will not buy this definitely after this video. Thanx for review mate!

The Volume keys are really stupidly located, it would have made more sense to have the up and down volume keys instead of the brightness up and down keyboard. The feel on this keyboard is really nice though, but the buttons do not make any sense like dude says in this vid.

Just bought it and I already hate it. I wish I had seen your video before. No FN lock is a shame.

You should probably be payed a beer or coffee by samsung...you did have valid points... for them this is a gold mine

Does anyone know who to get insert and printscreen buttons on this keyboard?

Hello. Great review! I just got mine but no matter what I do it the keyboard won't show up on anything when I try to bluetoothconnect it (to my tablet but also tried my phone and it didn't show up there either). So obviously I can't pair it with my devices since it won't show. And I really don't understand if I'm doing anything wrong. Does anyone know what I can do?

Great video

cómo utilizo el clic derecho en el smart kbs trio 500?

Ah were so used to windows function the keyboard forgets this and adds functionality but it's wasted because Windows shortcuts still work. Yet in general what they fail to do was a mjssed opportunity. Such a shame

Can someone help pls? I can type on youtube numbers but letters its not possible to write. Thanks a lot

got this keyboard for 9 dollars is it worth it

The traditional Chinese keyboard is so stupid that after I handwrite the words, I cannot learn the typing stroke when I long hype the words.

One of the best bluetooth keyboards ever made.

Why does this use AAA batteries instead of recharging with a cord? Had this for 1 day and batteries died...returning for refund

Great review. You saved me $40.

I'll stick with my keychain til Samsung makes a really good quality keyboard

I think the Samsung is a cheeky copy of the Logitech

Guys, you should take seriously what he said about fn keys! there is no way!!! to lock fn key and that is most frustrating cons of it!

logitech one looks 10x better. Samsung one looks like a China OEM

bro fn key being on by default is a good thing. F keys are worthless on a tablet/phone. This isn't a PC you're never gonna press F6 to do literally anything what a pointless argument. Who the hell plays Skyrim on a tablet with a keyboard. That's like something the 0.1% of users will do. The other functions on the keys are more useful imo.

I can't even get it on!

I'm right now using my phone without a case... It's amazingly weird for sure. What? Who cares? What does this have to do with the video? Well... nothing, but I care.

holy dang I almost bought this piece of hot garbage, thank you sir.

Horrible keyboard. Stopped connecting after a couple of months, is an issue that a lot of people have been encountering.

So many problems lol😂
