Arteck Folding Bluetooth Keyboard - Ultra-Slim Mini Wireless Keyboard for iOS, Android, Windows PC, Tablet & Smartphone - Built-in Rechargeable Li-polymer Battery

My favourite keyboard for lots of reasons, I never thought I'd end up saying that about a portable/foldable keyboard, or to be using this as my main keyboard, but it's nice to use and super handy.Style is cool, kinda techie but not too in-your-face, build quality is really nice and the way it folds is cool. I would say its just on the cusp of being big enough to type comfortably, I wouldn't mind if it was slightly bigger but I also like how small and compact it is so there's a tradeoff I guess. The charge lasts a long time and there's a little indicator to show how charged it is.I use it between 2 devices (my main laptop and a raspberry pi) and switching between devices is super easy and quick and a little light shows a different colour depending on the device its connected to.One negative is that I had it for about 6 months and then it randomly stopped charging, but support was very helpful and sorted the issue quickly.

I bought this with the idea of popping it in my bag and heading off to write in the great outdoors. Or a cafe at any rate. With cake. I have yet to take it out and about but I have been using it in the house with my tablet when I don't want to fire up the laptop.So...its very ingenious. The hinges work well and the magnets hold it shut when not in use. When you open it up it automatically pairs to the tablet so you only need to set it up once.Typing is easy once you get used to the small size, which is noticeable but then it's a portable sized keyboard so you adapt. You can use it on your lap but it does 'flop' about a bit so would be better with a book or something underneath to provide a little more stability. On a table top it would be fine.I have noticed that I don't always manage to hit the space bar hard enough so sometimes words run together, but I assume that's my fault rather than the keyboard.On the whole I think it's a lovely little thing to pair to a tablet or phone and certainly small and light enough to carry about, yet it still feels well made and the aluminium looks good too!

I've used this keyboard for some time now.The good:The build is nice, this keyboard feels sturdy. Buttons have a nice click to them. It takes some getting used to, as it is smaller than a standard-size keyboard. Once you get used to it, though, it's rather enjoyable to type. On Mac the keyboard is very responsive, on Windows it seems to fall asleep far too soon. Waking up takes a few seconds.Battery still hasn't died. I've been using it for more than a month for work and haven't charged it once.Once fully used to it (about 3 weeks for me), typing speed for me is not an issue.The keyboard is very light and compact. It takes very little space in a backpack and when folded is basically the size of a cell phone.The bad:When opened the outer sides of the keyboard don't fall flat on the table, but rather hover just above it while the middle of the keyboard rests on the table. If you are a heavy typer like me, you will notice that the sides of the keyboard will hit the table when pressed producing a rather annoying sound. Nothing that can't be solved by adding some small silicone adhesive feet. Why the manufacturer felt this was not necessary is beyond me.Quite a few buttons have new locations when compared to the standard Mac keyboard. For instance, the "@" is not above the 2 but next to the enter key on the other side of the keyboard. The tilde sign present on the Mac keyboard next to the left shift is not there at all. This might be a minor to non-existent issue for some, but for me who uses a Macedonian Cyrillic keyboard layout interchangeably with the English one, it's quite hard to locate and then get used to the placement of the extra letters in the alphabet that are assigned to buttons with these special characters.The missing tilde also prevents me from using the window switching shortcut on Mac (Command + LShift + tilde). A shortcut I use heavily.There are other examples, but you get it.The ugly:Why, oh why does this keyboard have a micro USB slot for charging in 2023? Why do I have to carry around yet another cable?Why, oh why is Esc not the primary function of the button but rather the secondary one?

There are afew other foldable keyboards on the market currently, but none come close to this one, the reason is a few simple components, it has a metal outer body which makes it feel much more premium, its small and can fit inside a bag or even your pockets, it doesn't have the unnecessary numpad, as its a waste of space to include that in a portable keyboard, it has a nice click to the keys, it works with the charger plugged in and the price is about spot on at around £35-40.If you're looking for a foldable keyboard, this is the best one out there.Also I had an issue where my parrot plucked one of the keys out and chewed it off, when I contacted them they sent me a replacement, very good customer service.

I have only been using this for a week or so but it certainly does job and feels well. Set up was easy and hardly needed the manual. Bought it for travel but have being trying it out every day more generally to get used to typing on it. It is certainly small, but then than was the point, but you can still touch type on in. Has a very decisive and comfortable key action. Generally very impressed. Can't wait to use it one the road. The repeat letter issue does not appear to be a problem on iOS since holding the key down on my setup just brings up accent options - I guess that is universal?

So far I've used this as a PC keyboard replacement and general keyboard with my android tablet and ipad. It works perfectly with all three and switches between them in about a second. The media keys all work perfectly and I have experienced neither missed keystrokes nor doubled keypresses. The keyboard folds into a pocket sized, light aluminium but sturdy rectangle and automatically turns itself off. Charging is quick, though battery life is not quite as good as promised. All in all, this is a very worthwhile purchase.
