Review on πŸ”Œ Nulaxy KM12 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Magnetic Detachable Leather Cover, Rechargeable Keyboard for iPad iPhone Apple Phone Samsung Tablets- Black by Timothy Spinner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Durable keyboard, comes with a keyboard case, works well with iPad and Android, YMMV on Windows

*AHEM* It's time to see how this keyboard works. I press the buttons, I see the reaction. I'm pretty good at typing on it, except it's a smaller keyboard. I seem to have some issues with pressing certain keys, but I wasn't expecting this to be a full-size keyboard.  I'm also having some typing issues as I expect certain combinations to work the same as they do on my PC, like "CTRL+SHIFT+arrow keys" to highlight words and make changes, but this isn't a keyboard issue. As far as I can tell; Rather, it is an issue with how MS Word works on iOS. And yes, I got it right in MS Word on iOS before copy-pasting it into the Revain reviews. Pairing was easy. For the iPad, I actually had to type in the code shown and press Enter on the keyboard; To be honest, this is the first time I've had to enter a pairing code for a Bluetooth device, but it still worked fine. I also had to type code on the keyboard and hit enter again when connected to my Android. Phone. The connection and response times are also impeccable again and I was able to control Google Play Music with my keyboard immediately after opening the app. At the time of writing this review, I couldn't find an easy way to open the app using the keyboard. I'm not sure if I got this wrong, but switching devices isn't as easy as I thought. As far as I know you can press FN + Q to switch to Android, FN + W to switch to Windows and FN + E to switch to iOS since you can turn on all 3 devices, turn on Bluetooth for all three and press this button. Combination to change what you connect to and bring your work to this device. It doesn't seem to be. I had to disconnect my Android device and actually turn off Bluetooth, click "Pair keyboard, no keyboard" and select the keyboard on my iPad so I could take it back. I don't see this as a big problem as most other devices work that way. I've had a few devices that could be taken over, but to avoid the hassle of someone taking control of your devices, many Bluetooth devices don't seem to allow this anymore. My option to pair with a Windows device is a Surface Pro 3. I have Windows 10 installed on this device and have been having some issues with it lately, so I'm not sure if there is an incompatibility between this keyboard and Surface or whether the problems only exist on the surface. It doesn't matter since I have a keyboard for this device, but I'm a bit sad that I can't test how well this works with a Windows device. lol) with Windows Mobile 8. I would try to pair it with the phone but the phone won't charge. I don't intend to use the phone anymore, except maybe for a few games if it's not too late, and I can't think of many other Windows devices to test this with, so it ends up falling on this keyboard and this one Windows device category "Your mileage may vary." When I charge the phone and test the keyboard, I will update my rating. Overall, this keyboard seems like an incredibly reliable device that pairs easily and switches between Android and iOS devices with ease. If you need a physical keyboard, Nulaxy excels at that and got it working as described. Note that I also included the "Maybe I misunderstood" disclaimer because I couldn't switch between devices the way I thought I could.  Finally, I have to say that Nulaxy was kind enough to arrange and provide this keyboard. I had no need to purchase such a device, but after checking out their Bluetooth FM transmitter - a purchase I made on my own and tested myself - an offer was made to get this keyboard for me free of charge, what I assumed. The only request was to use and test this device fairly; There were no requests for decorations and no offers for additional compensation.
