Great if you need wireless or foldable or just need a keyboard!
I bought this because I started using my phone to connect to my laptop and was sick of using the phones keyboard. This seemed like it would be a great addition and I always wanted a foldable keyboard but didn't want to take a chance on those rubber roll-up keyboards. This works great. I can now type as if I am at my computer while in the comfort of my bed. The biggest pet-peeve I have about it is that I can never remember what keys I have to push to start pairing and always have to go look up the instructions online or good this to find out and remember. I wish it was just a simple button on there and for all I know it may be but I don't remember (I tried last night, gave up, and grabbed another keyboard instead because it wasn't worth the headache). Other than that issue, everything else is great with it.The keyboard feels study and made of good material, inside and out. I was scared about the folding mechanism but it seems they put some great effort and quality parts inside to ensure it lasts a little longer so I will have to wait and see how long that holds up and update the review if anything changes but for now, I am a super happy camper. Just ordered a case for this as well.

Just how great is it? Well… 😄
Not only did I absolutely LOVE using this little keyboard on my recent flight to Africa, but when I got back from using the plane’s bathroom, I discovered that one of my fellow passengers apparently loved it as much or more than I had, because it was no longer in the seat back pocket in front of me! Needless to say, I’ll be ordering another one, today! (Oh, and for what it’s worth: I vastly preferred the feel and functionality of this keyboard to both the tri-fold designs with the trackpad that are offered here and Taurus’ angled slimline keyboard (which is available both here and at Staples). Although that trackpad IS a cool feature, the fact that the device is 3/4” thick and weighs nearly a pound eradicates what should be its biggest selling point — its portability and convenience — and the weird “delta wing” layout of the offering from Targus is just so ergonomically awful that even though it may very well be the lightest and most portable folding keyboard I’ve ever owned, it is also the least comfortable to use.

Excellent purchase
I’m in love with ProtoArc, they have cool peripherals at very accessible prices. This is the second foldable keyboard I buy because people were impressed by mine so this will be a gift. I like that it folds and pretty much takes no space. It’s really just plug and play, you turn it on and connect. It’s made out of plastic so you can see why it’s priced the way it is.Something I think it’s missing on this keyboard is the ability to instantly turn on and off upon opening or closing the keyboard. This feature is available in the trackpad version which is the one I use but this keyboard doesn’t have that unfortunately.

Perfect for travel!
My laptop is still in good condition, except for the keyboard! Several letters don't work well anymore, so typing can be quite aggravating. Now with this portable keyboard, those problems are over! I charged it up and took it on a 3-week vacation and never had to charge it while I was away - battery life is excellent! The foldability made it fit perfectly into my carry-on bag along with the laptop - super slim even when folded! Admittedly, my hands are smaller than my husbands so I didn't have as much trouble typing on the smaller keyboard, but over time, he did adjust and get used to it.

Best Portable BT keyboard I’ve used.
I really like this keyboard. I was tired of trying to write with my finger on an iPad, so I went ahead and ordered a small BT keyboard (this one). It’s small, but it doesn’t feel cramped (I have extra large hands). The whole thing feels like quality, from the packaging to the keyboard itself. The whole presentation and construction makes you feel like you’re getting a great deal for your money. The keys are responsive, unlike other keyboards I’ve used in the past. The only tiny complaint I have is there is a hinge right where my right thumb hits the spacebar, and it distracts me occasionally. Still, I think it’s a five-star product, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a basic, portable keyboard.

I don't know what's going on with this thing.
This would be perfect - but it keeps losing its Bluetooth connection. I bought a replacement from a different manufacturer - but their ad lied about what charger it uses so theirs is already going back. This one - I get halfway through an email and it'll lose the connection. Then it's 2 minutes of fumbling around trying to make it work again, the tablet closing applications when it reconnects, and then me praying it won't do it again. First I thought it was battery, and I started using it plugged in (I'm using this in a truck). But it'll still do it. Calling this "frustrating" is an understatement. I'm surprised I haven't broken this over my knee yet and thrown it out the window.Someone explain to me WHY it's impossible to find a "full size" (or nearly full size) folding keyboard - that has BT 5.0, uses a USB-C charger, that doesn't have a useless number pad, that WORKS.I may just order another one of these and roll the dice again - but I'm beginning to believe all of these are junk no matter what you buy. I only need these things to work for like 30 minutes without having an issue. It's not like I'm on it all day. Let me write 1 or 2 emails and fill out a timesheet without any issue - BUT NOOOO - apparently that's asking too much.
