Plugable Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad, iPhones, Android, and Windows, Full-Size Multi-Device Keyboard, Wireless and Portable with Included Stand (11.5 inches) Upgraded Version of BT-KEY3

Kjerstin here. This keyboard is amazing and the tech support is even better. I've gone through a few Bluetooth keyboards. Most of them are terrible. Flimsy, loud, the Shift key is in a weird place that makes the thing impossible to use without frustration... They're bad. But THIS ONE. Guys. This keyboard. It's genuinely full-sized. All the keys are where they're supposed to be. It's sturdy. It sounds like any other chiclet-style keyboard. It folds up to be smaller than your average thin paperback and doesn't weigh much, which means I can literally keep it in my purse and write on my phone whenever I have a second. (I just wrote a novel at three cafes, two parks, the car, an airplane, an Airbnb, and a couple of waiting rooms and I didn't have to lug around a laptop for any of it! Life. Changing.) It handles fast typing speeds without an issue, and it works great with my Android phone. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS KEYBOARD. (And I have no idea how long the battery lasts, because I've had it for a month, charged it once, and it still hasn't run out. Which is great.) Also important: Plugable's customer support is incredible. The keyboard's been having an issue for a couple of weeks where the "O" key sometimes skips. (Like if I type "too," the second "o" would frequently not show up.) Any product can have the occasional lemon, and for all I knew it was just some weird Android compatibility issue, so I emailed tech support. David got back to me seven minutes later (LITERALLY SEVEN MINUTES) to say that it was probably an issue with the switch for that key and that they'd send me a replacement. You know how sometimes you have to contact tech support and you're full of dread because you know it's going to be a laborious process that makes you hate everything by the time you're done, assuming you can even find their email in the first place? And then you actually go through with contacting tech support and the experience is somehow even worse than you imagined? THIS WAS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT. It was great. It was quick, it was easy, it was stress-free, I had a pleasant conversation with David, I've got a replacement keyboard coming in the mail in a few days... My faith in humanity just experienced a boost. If you need a Bluetooth keyboard, spend your money with Plugable. The product is great and the company stands behind it. P.S. In the interest of fairness, I figured I should also include the cons. So here's the only one I've been able to come up with: The right side of the keyboard is a little bouncy when I have it on a hard surface, like it needs to be a fraction thicker to sit level. I just stick a napkin or folded piece of paper under it and the keyboard's back to being a magical unicorn of technology. I literally have more complaints about your average roll of paper towels. This keyboard is the best.

As a writer, I've been looking for a good keyboard to use with my iPhone. After trying several and a lot of research, I settled on the full-size Plugable Bluetooth folding keyboard. I bought it back in May 2016 to use with my iPhone, and it along with the iOS app Scrivener has changed when and where I can work. The verdict? I'm loving it! PROS * The full-sized keyboard has keys right where you expect them to be. I haven't had any issues with the keys being too close together or big fingers hitting two keys at once. Having a full-sized keyboard means I didn't have to compromise on functionality. * Small compact size when folded: The keyboard folds up three-ways to a nice compact size that fits well in a purse or to-go bag. * The battery life is great. I've done hours worth of writing and it still has a great charge. Haven't run it out yet! * Nice response/feel to the keys. * The full-sized keyboard is the perfect size and great for touch typists. I had no issues at all transitioning from using a regular keyboard or a laptop keyboard to this one. I love that I can seamlessly go from one keyboard to the next without having to remember different key placements. * Does not drop the Bluetooth connection. It's been rock-solid for me. * Syncs up fast to my iPhone. * Haven't had any issues with dropped characters when typing at up to 70 WPM (approximate). * Carry case folds out to create a platform to prop up your phone or tablet, and is held in place by built-in magnets. * Great affordable price! * Nice solid construction. Most of it is made out of metal and not flimsy plastic. The keyboard has been in my purse, bags, computer bags, and it just keeps on working. * Responsive manufacturer. They sent an email after purchase to ensure it was working well and to offer any help if needed. CONS (sorta) * It will add some weight to the purse, but I don't think it's too much. Much of the keyboard is built out of metal, and I do like how durable it has made the keyboard. * No locking mechanism once unfolded. When not on an even surface it will want to fold back up. However, I have been able to use it on my lap if I keep my legs together. I just have to be careful not to pound the keys, so I'm able to offset the problem with how I type. A few additional details about the keyboard: Weight: 10 oz without the case and 16 oz with the case. Size when folded: 4.75 x 6.5 x 0.6 in without case, and 5.0 x 6.6 x 0.9 in with the case. Keyboard size when open: 11.5 x 4.6 x 0.5 inches You won't regret trying this portable keyboard. :)

Plugable Full-size Bluetooth Folding Keyboard for Android, iOS, Windows, OS X with Protective Case/Tablet Stand After being on my wish list for nearly a year and having to wait an entire two days to get it after ordering, I couldn't wait to play with my new toy. Very solid unit, for sure. Plugged it in so it could begin the charging process but couldn't wait for it to fully charge before using so went ahead and decided to test it. First up was the Fire Kindle HD 8 (6th Generation). It paired immediately and was able to start typing immediately (was using Trillian chat). Certainly glad I got the Full-size keyboard as I can palm a basketball - that being said, there was a short adjustment period going from a mechanical PC keyboard to this unit. I initially had some missed keys, mainly the 'M'. Didn't notice any strangeness other than it is very flat (versus a PC keyboard). Understandable, and I got this not to replace my PC keyboard but to take with me on the fly. Keyboard did not interfere with my Bluetooth connection to my speakers. Both continued to operate flawlessly with no drops or lagging. I didn't use the cover for a stand as my Kindle case already offers that functionality. Next text subject was my Galaxy Note 3. Again, no problems pairing. Used the case as a phone stand. Worked good. Case stayed put as I removed and returned the phone to the stand several times. Again, as with the Kindle, no drops or lagging. Last test, for gits and shiggles, was to pair it with my PC. Took a little longer to pair, but I don't think that had anything to do with the keyboard as it did my PC Windows OS, which is 8.1 (yeah, I'm one of seven people in the world who liked it and still use it). I did not set it to Windows mode using Fn+W but it still operated without any problems. I think it would drive me crazy using it on my computer as I am a speed, touch typist. However, being out and about and using it on my phone, Kindle, or even another Android device I can see myself using it non-stop. Complaints? No. After nearly a year of drooling over the thought of having this keyboard I am more than satisfied now that I have one!

My initial take on this is it is a decent large keyboard. I have the small model from 1byOne but it appears the small model is sold and branded by dozens of sellers including Plug-able Technologies. The small version has one major flaw that makes it unusable. The right shift key is the size of a single key and not oversize like normal. The ? key is oversize so that the arrow keys line up. While this sounds good for the arrow keys it kills the small keyboards usability. If they would correct that it would make it a perfect little keyboard. This keyboard is setup like a full size keyboard should be and I can type fairly well on it. The keys are the right size and right position. The only complaint I would have is that they did not mark some of the function keys. For instance fnc(right arrow) is end of line and left arrow is front of line. fnc Up and down arrows are start of paragraph and end of paragraph. There is a delete key so you can delete from the start of a word instead of having to go to the end and backspace. The tactile feel of the keyboard is pretty good. It feels like you are hitting keys but you don't have to pound them. The build quality is decent. The larger version the ends seem to sag a little where on the small one they don't move at all. Update: I found there are fold down braces on the edges to account for this (maybe and instruction manual would help). Size wise this is much bigger than the small version. As I indicated the small version is perfect except for the left shift key. The small version is 3.5 by 10 inches while the full size one is 4.5 x 11.5 inches. Folded you have 3.5 x 5.75 vs 4.5 x 6.5. The large keyboard is actually thinner but not by much. The small version would fit in a front pocket while the large one wont. The large one comes with a case. The case fits around the folded keyboard and the ends are open but it will not slide out. The case folds into a stand to hold your tablet. Most tablet cases do this anyway so it is not that worth while, With my tablet case on the cover folded to the back it fits easily in the stand. My case is not very thick and anything rugged might be to big for the default height. There is a slide that comes out to allow you to have your tablet at different angles. This would pretty much allow for any case to remain on the tablet. The with is 5/8 inch with the tab pushed in and 1.5 inches when the tab is pulled out. The case stand feels very sturdy and is held in place with a magnet. I tried typing on my lap. There are no locks on the keyboard so it folds up. It does have to be on a hard surface. When my legs were together it worked fine but that was not comfortable. Overall this is good for typing on a table or even a planes tray. I think a lap desk would work well also. It is small enough to throw in with the tablet in a brief case or hand bag. So far I am happy with it I just wish they had fixed the flaw in the smaller version. Update 9/20. I still like the keyboard. One of my complaints was that it was a little weak towards the far sides and bent down when typing. Something I thought was just a design actually folds down as an outer stand. Thus the edges are supported and it is not an issue. Directions might have been nice. Maybe a picture showing it.

I bought this expecting to see many trade-offs for portability. The only downside I could find was that the keyboard doesn't have a hinge lock, and that I had to press 3 buttons to alt+f4. Neither issue affected my everyday functionality as the hinge lock would only matter if I used it on uneven surfaces (like my legs) and the f key is a small annoyance. One thing I didn't really consider before buying (but lucked out) is the layout of the hinge keys. Most folding keyboards shove the keys near the hinge to either side of the gap and thus the keys end up smaller than usual and misaligned. This wreaks absolute havoc on muscle memory and hurts typing speed. This keyboard does not do that - the keys are staggered over the hinge and the layout is like a normal keyboard. I consider myself a pretty fast typist and I haven't found my speed to have suffered at all on this thing. It's also way better than the keyboard on any laptop I've ever had. Other pros: The travel height of the keys is pretty substantial for a portable keyboard. The construction feels very solid and durable. The connection is micro-usb (egh) but it does come with a cable and works just like a regular wired keyboard when connected. There are mini legs on either side you can flip up to create just enough height to make it comfortable. Comes with a case/stand for your phone/tablet and the case does look good as advertised. Tested on pc, laptop, Steam deck. I use a mechanical keyboard at home but I bought this while I was traveling and put this thing through the wringer for several weeks of full-time use and found it far more functional than I had expected. It's basically a regular full-sized keyboard without the numpad. Where I used to look at my laptop keyboard and thought "nah, I'll just write that email when I get home", I have no issues getting work done on this thing. While I still prefer my mechanical keyboard, I can't say I truly missed it. Yeah, the price is steep, but you basically get a real regular keyboard that fits easily in your backpack. If you're looking for something small that fits in your pocket, you'll have to deal with weird layouts and messing up muscle memory. If you're looking for a full-sized portable keyboard with very few compromises, I don't think you can do much better than this one.

This keyboard is exactly as depicted in the photos. It's sturdy, the magnets in the folding case are strong, and it easily unfolds into a seamless keyboard that's exactly the right size. The key strikes are a little louder than I was expecting, but all things considered, it's a great product. Unfortunately, one of the keys (D) doesn't work unless I press it very hard at exactly the right angle. The rest of the keys are sensitive and easy to use, but 'D' doesn't register most of the time while typing, which makes the keyboard practically useless. I'd give this item five stars if it hadn't arrived broken.

OK I know, I've only had this keyboard for a day, but let me give you my first impressions and a quick review anyway. I bought this keyboard to use with a new iPad Pro 10.5 ". I'm a big guy and the Apple Smart keyboards are too small, I needed more keyboard, but it had to be portable. I saw this and thought I'd give it a try. First, the pictures on line don't do it justice. It was much "smaller" than I thought. Folded up in the case it's about the size of two decks of cards. It'll fit easily in my bag. Unfolded it's a full keyboard, minus the calculator spot. The cover refolds into a very functional stand. It's thinner than I expected too. But dude. It's super cool. It seems very well constructed. The hard shell case, looks like nice faux leather, wraps around it and is held securely by magnets. The keyboard is light but sturdy feeling. Two little feet pop out and keep it laying flat and secure. The key action is awesome and feels a bit like an old typewriter. It set up and paired with my iPad Pro with no trouble, I barely had to glance at the quick start card. I love this keyboard.

Finding a great, portable, travel-worthy, purse-worthy, FULL-size keyboard that had both wireless and WIRED capability that comes with its own stand was a daunting assignment. Plugable has it. The dual-fold helps it fit better into a purse than I ever imagined it could, and yet nothing is sacrificed in terms of key placement: protective metal panels protect the odd-shape where the normal keyboard layout splits. OMG does it better than this? Yes, it does! It does all these things and more. My hands are happy to type on it. It feels sturdy and beautifully engineered. Though it folds, it lays perfectly flat when in typing position. Little magnets help hold it in the closed position. Little magnets on the case keep the case closed when the keyboard is put away, and holds the case securely in position when it is being used as a stand for the device I am typing on. I usually choose to operate it in wired mode, but I can switch easily between wired and Bluetooth mode with a couple of button pushes. Even though I prefer mechanical keyboards, the quiet chiclet-like keys on this keyboard makes it appropriate to use in quiet environments like libraries or where someone else is sleeping, even. Like when I am up in the middle of the night and don't want to go down to open a computer to do some work or jot down some ideas quickly. I am VERY happy with this product! P.S. They also have one in a more compact size, btw. So whichever one you want, make sure you check the size before you order.

Maybe better than typing on iPad glass but only just. Not recommended for touch typist
