The keyboard is just fire for the duties given. I took it for a tablet since I frequently spend hours in public transportation and type a lot of text; doing so from a phone is inconvenient. That's it; take it with you. Since this is a transportable, entirely feminine item, I would have bought a less compact version for usage at home because it does not fit well in men's hands. Absolutely, if you require a trekking alternative or if you are a young woman with small hands.
