Has some bugs but still does what I wanted

I bought this keyboard for nights when I'm babysitting a friend or otherwise not at home at night and still write/ink/ want to brainstorm at a little more speed than my Note5's Swype keyboard allows. I chose this one because it's backlit and perfect for sitting in my girlfriend's dark living room while her kids sleep. It's quite small but I was prepared for it. My hands will eventually get used to it and I won't use it often. But if you have big hands it can be a little tricky. It's really light, so I wouldn't be too rough on it, just to be safe. It works fine when plugged in and running, but here comes a small problem. When connected to my Note5, it often disconnects when typing, resulting in a crash where it starts repeating the last registered key rapidly until I tap the phone's screen to force it to do something else to do. However, after a few seconds, it reconnects and works properly again. I don't know why this happens, but it doesn't really matter to me as I only use it occasionally to sketch out ideas when I'm away from home. But if you use it for everything all the time and yours does, this could be a problem. Overall it does what I need it to do and does it well despite the shutdown bug.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
