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 - Gray

I’ve been using this ProArc foldable Bluetooth keyboard extensively while traveling, and honestly, it has become one of my favorite tech accessories. The standout feature for me is the ability to pair and switch between three different Bluetooth profiles. I currently use it with my iPhone, but I can also sync it with my laptop and iPad, or another laptop, without constantly re-pairing devices. That flexibility alone makes it incredibly useful for travel, remote work, and writing on the go. The keyboard charges in a reasonable amount of time, and the battery life has been excellent. Even with the backlighting enabled, I haven’t noticed any major battery drain. The typing experience is surprisingly good. The key spacing feels natural, the keys have a pleasant touch and response, and it doesn’t feel cramped the way some portable keyboards do. After a short adjustment period, I found myself typing comfortably and accurately. The folding design is also well executed. It feels sturdy and well-made, but it is important to remember what this product is designed for. This is a portable piece of electronics, not something meant to be tossed around carelessly. If you treat it with reasonable care, the construction feels more than adequate for travel use. My only real con is minor: I do wish there were some built-in way to give the keyboard a slight typing angle for added comfort. Because it is foldable, I understand that may be difficult to engineer unless it came with some kind of foldable or detachable support plate that still packed into the same portable kit. That said, this is a very small issue and not a dealbreaker at all. For the price, I think this keyboard offers excellent value. It is compact, practical, well-built, and performs exactly as advertised. After using it frequently on trips, I can confidently say it has earned a permanent spot in my travel go-bag. Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard. It has exceeded my expectations and has become an essential part of my travel setup. 10/10

This is a terrific portable keyboard. I've never liked the keyboard on my laptop because the touch and dullness of it actually discourage productivity. I'd purchased another, supposedly ergonomic portable and took it back because it wasn't so ergonomic at all, was poorly constructed and downright flimsy. The designers on this ProtoArc, however, did a great job: the backlighting and battery life are excellent, the touch is responsive, and the Bluetooth connection is immediate. It's lightweight, but not flimsy, and the foldability is a plus--especially for traveling. There's a paper user manual that's actually understandable and a 2-yr. warranty that suggests faith in their product. I haven't had to use tech support, but there's an actual phone number to call if you need help. I very seldom write reviews, but this product deserves one.

This keyboard has been a game changer while I'm traveling! I love that I can pair up to three devices (very easily) and it even comes with a stand that you can use for your phone (I'm using it for my second screen). The stand is even adjustable. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it seems slightly flimsy. The connectors to the pieces feel like that can break easily. Overall though, the capabalities of it is great. I love the carrying case and the size of the keyboard (and that it comes with 10-key). The backlight is a nice touch as well. It is very responsive and my favorite travel keyboard to date.

I've been using the XK01 by ProtoArc, a device I originally found at a local electronics retailer and wound up buying here on Amazon. But only recently, I started to wonder if there was a backlit option for the XK01. Turns out there is, and this is it. It is EXACTLY the same product as the XK01, but the XK01 Plus has backlighting/illuminated keys. This is a light, folding keyboard that can be paired with switched between up to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Charging is done through a USB-C socket on top of the device, and the pilot lamp changes from orange to green when fully charged. Much like the original XK01, battery life is really good, although I imagine use of the backlight will cut into longevity. However, there are three lighting levels (in addition to "off") that you can choose from. All are white lights (so if you're hoping for one of those fancier color-selectable lighting schemes like on a gaming keyboard, this isn't for you). This is a great choice for those times when you have a lot to type or say, and you just don't feel like poking an on-screen keyboard endlessly. It can be used with a smartphone, a tablet, or laptop or desktop computer. It supports all the major OS's - Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS - any unit with Bluetooth on it. As far as the feel of the keys, I liked it. Key travel is far better than a membrane-style keyboard, and key response feels good (not "premium", but decent), with enough springiness. It doesn't make a lot of noise when you type on it, so if you're in a situation where silence is golden, you'll appreciate it. And, unlike many other battery-operated Bluetooth keyboards available, this has full-sized keys, meaning far fewer typing errors. Yes, you may have to adjust to the placement of a few keys here and there, but I don't think you'll find the layout to be a deal-breaker. The package comes with a carry pouch, and a USB-C cable. There is no charger included for it, but you can get one nearly anywhere these days, including here on Amazon. I can't think of a better, portable Bluetooth keyboard that's available right now. I think this is as good as it gets.

I'm apparently a heavy user, and for my use case and the software I work with, have some very specific keystrokes Right out of the box this paired quickly with my tablet, and was immediately up and running. Probably put 6 hours of use on it before charging it (preemptively, wasn't showing a low battery or anything). It's got a nice feel, the keys have good travel (still being chicklet keys like a laptop), not silent but not terribly loud. in a day and a half of work, I've not experienced any unusual stutters or lag, so that's a win. Also working before sunrise, the backlight feature was a huge plus. I reprogrammed a few keys since I like certain keys in certain places, but that's part of my specific needs I suppose (I want a control key on the right side for example). I don't love the home/end/pgup/pgdown being where they are, but that's a minor nuance based on how I use this. I appreciate the feel and materials, it feels solid with a metal housing which should be durable, of course having to be able to fold up it does have hinges, which feel solid as well, but I don't think it'd work on your lap. Not docking any points since that's not expected. I did see on a 3d print site, an option to make little locks to keep it open, and provide feet for a slight angle, I may figure out a way to source those, but as is, this keyboard is perfect for me wanting to travel with a Surface Pro tablet but also remain productive with a full size keyboard & 10 key

Awesome foldable keyboard. Great full size for easy mobile use when traveling. Used it on a trip in a hotel and it paired perfectly to my laptop and tablet. Love the backlit keyboard on this one. It’s made well with the hinges appearing very strong. Great quality materials used. Strongly recommend for anyone traveling.

This is the best wireless keyboard ever!!!! No lag what so ever !!!! Works awesome !!!! The only thing I did not like is that it goes into sleep mode quick and I can’t tell right away if I’m in caps or lower keys lol! But overall I live this damn keyboard. I can use it on all my devices too lol

If you've been looking for a mobile, Bluetooth keyboard, that offers a tremendous amount of flexibility, has great key tap response, and is extremely portable: This Is It! I carry the ProtoArc with my in my messenger bag just about everywhere I go. It take up so little space in the bag, but folds out to a full keyboard size. I can use it a couple of hours a day for an entire week without recharging the battery. Connecting up via Bluetooth is extremely easy and you can switch between 3 different devices by pressing one button. This keyboard is so light and versatile that I've stopped carrying my laptop to the coffee shop or library. I just bring my phone on a little stand and this keyboard and I am good to go. Lastly, I am very impressed by how it feels to type on this keyboard. It will never be exactly like typing on a standard keyboard, however it gets VERY close. Using the ProtoArc keyboard has been a great enhancement to my workflow. Highly recommend.

Seems OK, but the letters colour fades little

I literally look for reasons to use this keyboard on the go.

As advertised, quick to set up and ready to go. For those who travel a lot and need a full size keyboard for their laptop or to get a better option than just two thumbs typing on their phone or tablet, this it the tool that solves it all.

En lo personal me gustan los teclados con teclado numérico y este cumple mis espectativas, podría mencionar que no tiene base para inclinarlo un poco. El espacio que ocupa es bueno al plegarse.
