The Nintendo Wireless Keyboard does not sound too exciting at first. Its name specifies pretty clearly what it is: a wireless keyboard.

With a white frontside and black backside, the keyboard looks pretty stylish. Obviously, time will tell whether the white colour will turn to yellow, which I certainly don't hope. Most of the important keys are included, though it's probably best fitted for portable use due to its size. However, if you need keys such as F9 or Print, you may want to rethink your choice.
The Nintendo Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth to your device. That means it works with most smartphones (Android/iOS) and PCs, provided that they have a bluetooth chip. It even works with a wide range of TVs as well as your PS3 and PS4. If you are still one of the old-fashioned people with a DS or 3DS, you are out of luck as neither platform includes a bluetooth chipset. Only if you use a DS software called 'Pokemon Typing Adventure' (which is bundled with the keyboard), you can try the keyboard on those platforms. Wii users cannot use the keyboard at all.
Talking about range, you certainly won't have any trouble using the keyboard if you are just connecting it to your phone or your notebook. There might be issues if you want to use it with a large TV which is 10-15 metres away, but I haven't done any testing in such a setup.
The keyboard is powered with two AA batteries and a first set is included in the package. As I just received the Nintendo Wireless Keyboard, I cannot comment on how long these batteries will last. What I really liked was that the package came with a stand, e.g. for your Android phone or iOS device. In case you wanted to try 'Pokemon Typing Adventure', you could even put your 3DS XL on it.
Unfortunately, the Nintendo Wireless Keyboard is only available in white in Europe. A black keyboard does exist in Japan but that will not have the keyboard layout of your respective country. However, as you can get it for just €10, it's a real steal. I have yet to find another Bluetooth keyboard of this size at such a price, especially when this keyboard is of decent quality.
Comparison with the Apple keyboard:
