ProtoArc Backlit Foldable Keyboard, XK01 Plus Folding Portable Bluetooth Keyboard for Travel, True Full Size External Wireless Keyboards with Backlight for iPad Tablet Smartphone Laptop PC

This is a great keyboard - full size but folds to an easy-to-carry size. The keyboard has a nice feel to with tactile feedback and seems well laid out. Supports 3 different Bluetooth devices that you can hotkey between. Also, some nice function key shortcuts for Android.Battery life appears very good - I charge it somewhat regularly, but it's never run out on me, even on long trips.The supplied phone/table stand that I thought I'd never use turns out to be a very useful bonus.

Awesome keyboard. Love that it can quickly switch between 2 bluetooth devices as I often have my work laptop and my personal laptop next to each other. The keys feel nice, I like that it folds up and automatically turns on when it's unfolded. I charged it when I first received it and have been using it for months (not every day, but many days) without needing another charge yet. Love the little carry case it comes in and the included folding phone stand is a great little bonus. Definitely recommend.

This ProtoArc foldable keyboard is a travel essential. It folds up small but opens into a true full size keyboard that’s comfortable for long typing sessions. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and the backlit keys are perfect for low light environments.Battery life is excellent, and the build quality feels sturdy without adding bulk. If you need a portable keyboard that doesn’t sacrifice performance, this is the one to get.

I’ve been using this folding Bluetooth keyboard for almost a month, and honestly this is the best one I’ve used.It’s full size, easy to type on, and even has a ten-key, which feels like a luxury on something portable. Compared to my older model, which folds smaller and packs easier, this one wins when it comes to actually getting work done. It feels like using a regular keyboard, not something pulled out of a travel toy box.Now for the part I do not like. I type fast, and every now and then, the keyboard just cannot keep up. Sometimes it lags. Other times, the cursor jumps backward one or two spaces. That means I have to stop, go back, and fix whatever it messed up.I did find a little trick. If I leave a few extra spaces at the end of the sentence, it helps. But not always. And honestly, it gets frustrating after a while.I’m still deciding if I want to keep using it or return it (I still have a few days). If I figure out a fix or if it gets worse, I’ll come back and update this.But for now, if you are looking for a travel-friendly keyboard that feels like a real one, this might be a great pick. Just be warned, it might glitch if you type as fast as I do.

I purchased this wireless keyboard sometime last year. I use a laptop for work and I needed a keyboard that gave me a little more flexibility to move around my desk as my laptop was tethered to other peripherals. This was perfect and I love the fact that when you are done it folds up making it easy to fit in my bag. The battery life is great since I have had it I charged it twice. The Bluetooth connectivity is excellent as it is ready to use immediately. There is no lag and it’s perfect for anyone even if you have little or no typing experience.

Disclaimer: I purchased this both keyboards amd the rollerball mouse based on the reviews of Vine voices whom I mostly trust. ProtoArc has neither offered me any discounts or free merchandise in exchange for a positive review, and I am glad they didn't. Any company who does this is automatically eliminated by me since ethical reviews should always be at the forefront and never bought for a few dollars.First of: if you are not a touch typist, don't knock this keyboard due to your own limitations. Double strokes and missed keys are all due to lousy typing practice and not the fault of ANY keyboard.Having said that, and typing this review on this keyboard, I love how solid it feels and how responsive the keys are. These are full-size keys which is important for any experienced typist with normal sized hands. Some compacts reduce the size of their keyboard by also reducing the size of the keys, and that can be tiring to use for longer periods of time.I have not yet investigated all the function keys on this keyboard but expect them to be similar to those of other full-sized (non-traveling) keyboards.The one-star reviewer mentioned that the keys are illuminated only AROUND the keys. That is not true, the letters and numbers are quite visible. The backlight shuts off during pauses to conserve battery power but comes back on instantly when touching any key. This is just another of the many thoughtful features that were put in designing this keyboard.I don't think that ProtoArc is still a generic brand. That name has become recognizable due to the quality devices the company offers. I just got their rollerball mouse as well since rollerballs have been my favorite for many years. If you have limited table space for your phone, keyboard, and mouse, the rollerball is the answer since it doesn't have to be moved around like regular mice. The other thing I like is that their devices cost a lot less than the big name brands but are often better, most likely because they have more to lose and thus keep quality control at the forefront.As I am using this keyboard, if I miss a key on the lowest row that is due to insufficient pressure on my part and not because the keyboard is misfiring. It is merely a matter of adjusting my typing pressure. Those of us who learned to type on a mechanical typewriter should have no problem with that while the young generation who are used to the sensitivity of electrical keyboards, especially those with those very long fingernails (I call those dinosaur claws), may need more time to adjust.The huge plus on this travel keyboard is its numerical pad. None of my others have that. I happily accept the slightly larger size just for this feature alone. I am not sure how exactly they managed to do that since folded I don't see a difference between this and my other foldable by ProtoArc. I am including pictures of both keyboards folded and opened. The other ProtoArc keyboard is an ergonomic keyboard that allows for more comfortable hand placement which matters for people with Carpal tunnel or shoulder issues. Unfortunately it is not backlit, and being black it does need some light for those who need to see the keys.Is this keyboard noiseless? No, but I like the feedback. I don't think it is so loud that it would be considered a nuisance. I wouldn't use it in bed next to my sleeping husband, but on a plane the background noise from the engines would nearly drown this out.Summary: this is a really well thought-out keyboard with all the features of a full size regular keyboard. That it is more narrow is deceiving: it doesn't have the wrist cushion the better full sized keyboards have, and ProtoArc didn't waste empty space found in full sized keyboards. Since my little table at home has a lip at the bottom to keep things from falling off when I tilt it I just add a wrist cushion for comfort. I really like the solid feel of this keyboard. Highly recommended.

This is a great keyboard. Its backlight and folds abs opens very easily. Totally portable and the case is nice. Typing on it is great because you dont have to push down on the keys hard but they are not too touch sensitive either
