The only foldable keyboard that does everything right
This foldable keyboard is the only one of its kind that does almost everything right.You can use any USB-C cord (to USB-C or USB-A) and plug it in for wired typing, no need to use bluetooth at all.It's very neat to be able to change the keyboard layout between Android/Win/iOS/Mac by simply using the Fn with the indicated keys. Same with switching multiple bluetooth devices.Build quality is decent, it has a slightly luxury look with the cover, and the folding mechanism works very well and sturdy. Although it's probably breakable by deliberately forcefully folding it the wrong way, I don't expect anything to break in normal usage or by accidentally dropping it on the ground.I got the version with touchpad, instead of numpad. Which is a great, 'cause you can go without mouse as well, while on-the-go. It also works fine on my Android phone, although I wasn't able to use SHIFT with arrow keys to select text (but this could also be a limitation of Android?).The keyboard has full-sized QWERTY keys, that is, if you're used to a regular keyboard, it takes zero effort to adjust to this one. That is, with the exception of the arrow keys (arrow up/down are half sized), and F12, and some interpunction keys on the right side.It's a little bit unfortunate that they opted to make the F12 key so small, and some other keys as well. Especially since I type on the dvorak layout. But there is no other foldable keyboard that I've seen to be better. Anyway, it's easy to adjust. I've found that muscle memory can deal with keys being a little smaller, rather than them being dislocated like in some other foldable keyboards.

Good design for touch typists.
Only received today so some very provisional comments...Pros: The design is brilliant. I love the way the keys along the 'fold' intermesh so you have an excellent typing experinece (I'm a touch typist so this is important). The keys are large and everything is pretty much where you'd expect. Being a Mac fan I like the mac layout and labels on the keys (eg. Command rather than the Windows key).it connects pretty easily and works well. So far I've connected to a Raspberri Pi (the main reason I bought it), my iPhone and my mac mini. All connected and worked. The trackpad has good feel using tap to click and multi gestures. Plus the 'buttons' have a proper click to them which is nice.Cons: The track pad, whilst perfectly useable is a bit zippy for my liking. I'll see if there is any way to adjust this in the computers' settings. It feels a bit lightweight as well. Doesn't really give me confidence that it will last well but we'll see.Overall, very happy and a solid four stars. If it lasts a year and I can get the trackpad set right it will be five :o)

Exactly what I wanted.
Folds neatly, sturdy when in operation, flawless connection to the device via Bluetooth, and intuitive to operate. Exactly what I wanted it for. USB C charging is a nice touch.

Cons and no pros.
I brought this for the intended use of being able to use my pc from my bed just to help with the long nights, and it has been nothing but useless.Pros:-I cannot think of any.Cons:-Firstly itâs 10 metre radius is a flat out lie, it starts struggling to even work at a 2 metre radius then proceeds to just stop working at 3.-Secondly the start up process on the manual doesnât even tell you the right process of setting it up. (It says turn on, Press and Hold Fn+Tab for three seconds and connect). Itâs actual startup process is turn on, Press Fn+A, Press and hold Fn+Tab, connect, type in a sequence that doesnât always work, and tada itâs semi working.-To add onto that first con, once it gets out of that 3 metre range and then gets brought back in it still doesnât work, you can try turning it and your Bluetooth on and off to no avail.-Itâs âPower saving auto sleepâ mode activates after around 1 minute of no use, not 15, and will only reactivate occasionally with a repeat of the previous con happening again.If you want my opinion on this, please donât buy it and just look for a keyboard that doesnât use Bluetooth, instead look for one that has an USB adapter that you plug into your pc because it is way more reliable than this piece of shiny junk.

3* or 5*???
This keyboard has many positive points. A lot of effort has gone into some of the design details, and it is well made. It has a satisfying and cunning folding mechanism. Once folded it feels solid and secure enough to throw directly into my bag, without risk. It has a complete set of options to connect via bluetooth to all the main OS - Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows which works well. It also has a USB cable option (used for periodic charging, but also essential for initial pairing - or if like me, you get stuck with a BT keyboard without a cable that has lost its connection to the computer and so you cannot use it to log in anymore with a password!). The track pad is large, large enough to be easy to use productively.The keyboard itself has been reduced from the normal 6 to 5 rows. This compact design generally works well, with a couple of exceptions which I personally am having problems with. 5 keys have been reduced to half size, two of which I use a lot (/and?, âand â), the others are not important. I am a fast touch typist, but a slightly clumsy one, so I find it difficult to use these half keys without activating the return key at the same time.Another problem is that I find the keys very over-sensitive so that brushing neighbouring keys, very far from a full stroke, sets them off. The result of all this is that too often I find my cursor has jumped all over the place and the text is jumbled with extra symbols. No-one else here seems to be making the same complaint about sensitive keys, so it may be just be me, or possibly the high sensitivity of my keyboard is a fault.So for now I can only give it 3*, although I understand others giving 5*, if they donât run into the same problems.Finally ⌠For guidance about setting up, the enclosed notes are not great. The Amazon webpage for this keyboard is a much better source of information.
