Customer Reviews
So so
This is a nice product, a
little thick, but solid key clicks. The make or break for this item
would be a locking mechanism to keep it open so you could use it on your
lap, as is if you try and use it on your lap it will fold in half.
Pretty good, but not perfect
I spend a good chunk of each
day working on my laptop in coffee shops and wanted something that was
portable and full-sized. I've been using the keyboard now for about a
week. The keyboard is a good compromise for something so light that also
folds into such a small package. While it doesn't feel like a desktop
keyboard, it's better than the laptop keyboard and better than I
expected.
It has a few drawbacks. First, it doesn't unfold
completely flat. There's a slight angle when it's open, but this isn't
very noticeable when typing. Second, the insert, delete, page up &
down group of keys are much smaller and not in the expected positions.
It's easy to hit the wrong one. Third, it needs some way to tilt the
keyboard toward you, such as some fold-out feet. I may resort to
carrying a couple of wood dowels of the right size to tilt it at a
comfortable angle.
But despite these drawbacks, I would recommend
it for those who want to make their laptop work more comfortable. I
also recommend getting the iFold stand to bring the screen up to a more
comfortable level. I wish I had found both of these products before I
spent the last 2 years hunching over a laptop!
A couple of tweaks would make it perfect!!
My job requires lots of
travel so I use my laptop extensively. Although I can type fairly well
using the laptop keyboard, I can only type numbers by touch with a
numeric keyboard. I've tried the USB numeric pads, but they slide and
don't work for me. Who wants to carry a full sized keyboard in their
bag? Not me!
This product looked perfect and it nearly is! I
agree with the other reviewer in that it doesn't sit completely flat. It
needs some type of brace to lock it, and it definitely needs the
ability to tilt forward just like a regular keyboard with folding feet.
I've looked closely at this keyboard and it seems those two things would
be easy to add. I really like this product. I hope it's improved - and I
hope the price gets lower!!
