Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard, ProtoArc XK01 Folding Wireless Full-Size Travel Portable Keyboard with Numeric Keypad for Windows iOS Android Tablet PC Smartphone, Sync Up to 3 Devices, Black

I've tried my fair share of folding keyboards in the past, hoping for the perfect blend of portability and comfortable typing. Unfortunately, they always seemed to fall short. Whether it was an annoying seam right where my fingers would land, oddly shaped keys that threw off my typing rhythm, or the constant need for new batteries (and maybe not havionng them with me), there was always a trade-off. But with this new folding keyboard, I can honestly say those frustrations are a thing of the past!What immediately impressed me is that when unfolded, this keyboard feels and functions exactly like a full-sized, traditional keyboard. I was thrilled to see the inclusion of a complete 10-key number pad, something often sacrificed in portable designs. You genuinely cannot tell it's a folding keyboard when it's open and ready for use. The surface is completely smooth and seamless, eliminating those disruptive ridges that plagued previous models.The typing experience itself is fantastic. The keys have a satisfying and responsive feel, making it a joy to type on for extended periods. It's comfortable and doesn't feel cramped at all, unlike many other portable options.I also love the fact that this keyboard is rechargeable. No more scrambling for batteries or the guilt of constantly throwing them away – a huge plus for convenience and the environment!Beyond the core functionality, this keyboard excels in other areas too. It's incredibly portable and easy to slip into a bag when folded, making it perfect for travel or working on the go. The Bluetooth connection has been rock solid and consistently stable and reliable. It feels well-built and sturdy, not flimsy or cheap like some other folding keyboards I've encountered. Setting it up was a breeze – it paired with my devices instantly without any hassle. For the price, I truly believe this keyboard offers incredible value.If you're looking for a folding keyboard that truly delivers on its promise of portability without sacrificing a comfortable, full-sized typing experience, look no further. This one is a game-changer! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a keyboard for travel, remote work, or simply to save space without compromising on functionality. This is, without a doubt, the best folding keyboard I've ever used!

This keyboard is perfect for what I need it for. I can switch between typing on my phone, work computer, and tablet. It only takes ~1 second to switch between devices or for it to pair to the last device used after being opened. Even within the second, it seems to store and then push key inputs when it successfully pairs. While you want to use this on a hard, flat surface, the keyboard is steady and sturdy when it is well supported. However, if you are trying to use it and the edge is protruding off a table, for example, I would be concerned that it would put too much pressure on the hinges and result in early damage/failure.For me, this is a fantastic product and well deserving of the 5 stars I am giving it. 3 keyboards in one with full functionality, no dongles to keep track of, and portability to take to any desk or table where I happen to need it. USB-C charging means no more batteries to keep track of, and with newer Apple devices and some laptops switching to USB-C charging, finding a cord is seldom a problem, even in a pinch.

*********************************UPDATE No. 2 (March 8, 2025*********************************I contacted the company and they did send me a replacement. I had to shoot a video to prove that my keyboard was not functioning properly first and they mailed out the new keyboard. So, the customer service is great. However, the new keyboard is having similar issues already. It definitely works better than my previous keyboard, but the alt and spacebar keys are sort of difficult to press. They work, but you have to press very hard on them, which I wouldn't mind too much except for two reasons (1) I use alt-tab and alt-ctrl religiously to switch between apps and zoom, so alt is a key I probably use more than any; and (2) it's inconsistent. For whatever reason, you must press harder on the alt and spacebar than the other keys. I wouldn't mind as much if the weight was the same across all keys, but it's not and that's my complaint. Still, I'm very happy they sent me a replacement and will bump them up 2 stars.******************************UPDATE: January 16, 2025******************************After using this keyboard for about four months, I was FINALLY starting to get used to the awkward placement and size of some of the keys, and then... it broke.The "T" and "G" keys will no longer work properly. Sometimes, if I press VERY hard several times in a row, I can get one of them to type, but the keyboard is basically useless to me now. It's so frustrating to spend $50 on something that only lasts a few months.Despite that, I still think this would be a nice keyboard if they'd just tweak a few things ...Key placement: Having the "Page Dn" and "Page Up" keys in a row between the right arrow and O numkey is so frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to click the right arrow or type the "O" and it causes my screen window to page down. It's so annoying.Folding: There needs to be a way to lock it in place when unfolded, especially if you want to use it on your lap.Spacebar: Very inconsistent and will sometimes not registerReally, that's about it. If they would tweak those issues, I think it would be one of the best mini keyboards out there. The battery life is excellent, the look is slim and attractive and key mechanism feels nice.*********************ORIGINAL REVIEW*********************I'm a weirdo.I spend so much time at a computer that I get excited when I order a new keyboard. The anticipation swells as I watch the tracking info until finally! It's here. This keyboard was no different. However, since the day I unboxed this tri-fold wireless keyboard, I've been met with disappointment after disappointment.The first major disappointment was the folding mechanism. This does not lock when unfolded. That means if you need to place it on your lap -- which I often must do -- it will easily fold back in on itself while you are typing. And even if you place the keyboard on a pillow or something soft, it often sinks into the pillow and bows in a somewhat concave position.The next disappointment is the spacebar. I have no idea why, but I would guess one out of about every 10 presses of the spacebar just does not register. Finally, those tiny, infinitesimal arrow keys. Not only are they very small and difficult to press, they are difficult to find because of the awkward positioning. I cannot tell you how many times I have missed the arrow keys and pressed the "page down" key. It's too many times to count, which leads me to my final negative: the lack of a backlight. I didn't think it would be a huge deal with this keyboard, but it kind of is, just because of the spacing of those arrow keys and some other commonly used keys, like page up/down and the tiny function keys.Am I being too rough on this little keyboard? Maybe. But I kind of feel like I paid just a bit more for this keyboard than most so I guess I was just expecting a little more. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some positives: It folds up nicely and is very compact. It can actually fit in your pocket if it's large enough. And the battery is awesome so far. I've been using this for several weeks without needing to charge it yet. And I probably use it a few hours a day. Finally, the Bluetooth functionality is great. It's responsive, has no ghosting or repeating letters and has never disconnected while using it. It's also nice that it automatically goes to sleep when you fold it and reconnects instantly when opened.I'm still giving it three stars as it's not a complete disappointment, but I feel like a few tiny adjustments (locking mechanism, spacebar tweak and maybe a backlight) would make this an awesome keyboard. As is, it just misses the mark, in my humble opinion.
