Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Arteck Folding Bluetooth Keyboard - Portable Mini Foldable Wireless Keyboard for iOS iPad 10.2-inch, Pro, Air, 9.7-inch, Mini, Android, MacOS, Windows Tablets & Smartphone - Built-in Rechargeable Battery by Ashton Dahmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A solid, well-built keyboard for the mobile user.

Well designed and durable keyboard. When folded, it fully protects the keyboard from damage and takes up little space. The buttons respond with just the right amount of pressure and feedback for me. The keys are a good size for extended use, except that the numeric keys are a bit small, but that's not a problem unless you need to enter a lot of numeric data. The keyboard paired and connected instantly to my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet and Galaxy Note 4 phone, and paired and connected to my Windows 7 PC with no issues. No latency issues (delay between pressing a key and seeing it on screen) were observed. Function keys work as expected with various functions on my mobile devices (media playback, cut, paste, etc.). The keyboard would benefit if it could be raised or raised at the top when deployed to improve ergonomics and typing comfort. Maybe a small fold out stand or fold out tabs like on desktop keyboards. UPDATE: Installed Windows 10 and had no problems pairing and connecting the keyboard. My PC doesn't have built in Bluetooth so I have to use a BT adapter (Kinivo, works great) and I've encountered no issues connecting through the adapter rather than the factory installed adapter. Fraud; The keyboard tilts slightly when pressing the keys on the extreme ends of the keyboard, which can be a bit distracting. Besides a way to raise the support a bit, it would be nice to have something on the sides to keep the board from tipping. This is not a major disadvantage, but a matter of low comfort. The design and build quality are excellent. Could use some minor improvements. In general; A very reliable, useful and easy to use data entry device for mobile displays. Good value for money. I just got it and didn't have much time to test it. Will update this review as needed after further testing. EDIT: The keyboard loads very quickly. I'll measure how long the charge lasts and will post that later. Have been using it for quite some time and haven't encountered any problems so far. Once I'm done with this thing I'll probably upgrade my rating to 5 stars. So far, the only downside is the lack of an option to support it and the number keys. If they turn out to be insignificant after further use, I give 5 stars. I would say it's 4.50 stars now.
