Review on Macally Universal Bluetooth Keyboard for Tablet and Phone - (Mac/PC/iOS/Android) - Multi Device Compatible - Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard with Stand - 78 Key Bluetooth iPad Keyboard - Compact Size in White by Michael Cleveland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Almost perfect, no supports on the back and narrow channel, difficult for thicker phones/devices

This keyboard is much heavier than I expected and very smooth. There are a few things I would like to change about this keyboard; Firstly, I wish there were supports on the back that could be pulled out so I could easily use these at an angle. Typing on a flat surface rather than a slightly sloping surface is quite awkward for me, and some built-in feet/supports would be ideal. The second thing I would have liked from this keyboard was a wider channel to fit my thicker phone with a thicker protective case. I have to use it now to slide it a little in the narrow canal. However, the phone stands straight and not at a comfortable angle. Typing on it is quite comfortable for my fingers as the keys are round and shiny, unlike my old battered keyboard that I use on my desktop now. , and is different from any of my laptops or Chromebooks. Even my daughters commented on how comfortable the keyboard feels. There's a faint tone and a nice bounce when typing, so I'm really impressed at how impressed I can be with something fairly simple. Once connected to my phone, it worked effortlessly and I texted much more easily and accurately than the normal way of texting (or voice texting), eliciting a lot of laughter and confusion from the recipients in a way my app never seems to do understand my words.) The weight of this is alien to me, and when I put it in my pocket I will definitely notice the difference. I don't know what could make it so heavy, so my guess is that it was made heavy to feel more substantial. The delete key on the keyboard also works as a backspace key, and if you want to add an emoji I found I do it manually in the phone's emoji menu. There's no lag and it's super responsive. After the initial Bluetooth connection, the connection to my smartphone is almost instantaneous. Aside from the lack of built-in supports on the bottom and the narrowness of the channel/channel that the tablet or phone sits in, I like it because it makes typing/texting on my phone much easier and more accurate. Thank you for reading.
