The best Bluetooth keyboard available. Turns your smartphone into an ultra-lightweight laptop

Fintie's 10-inch ultra-slim keyboard is the best Bluetooth keyboard on the market today. Having bought half a dozen Bluetooth keyboards over the years, I can say with some confidence that this is the right brand and size for most people's needs. Ultra-thin, ultra-light and pleasant to the touch, it turns your smartphone or tablet into a very powerful, ultra-portable laptop that you can take anywhere and have in no time. Despite being very thin, this keyboard just feels right. The keyboard body is made of durable aluminum, so the keyboard feels solid when typing. The keys have enough travel and positive enough "click" to allow touch typists to maintain 95% of their normal typing speed. Although the keyboard is compact, it doesn't feel cramped at all despite being a tall guy (193 cm) with big hands. folded in four, flat with integrated lid), I prefer the extreme simplicity of the finty format. You take it out, turn it on and start typing: no fuss about shutters and mechanisms. The setting is immediate. In my experience, a fast-to-use keyboard takes some getting used to. Finty took the right approach at the expense of some durability (see "Suggested Improvements" below). Charge it for at least a couple of weeks. In fact, I've never run out of battery while owning this keyboard, so it's hard to say how long the battery will last (Fintie claims it will last at least 100 hours, and I have no reason not to believe that number .) I just turn it on for about an hour every week or two. and i'm ready to go Pairing this keyboard with a powerful smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy 9 is a liberating experience: it truly transforms your phone into an ultra-portable, high-performance laptop. You can productively print long documents and emails wherever you are. On an Android smartphone, you can use familiar Windows keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-C (copy), Ctrl-X (cut), Ctrl-V (paste), and Ctrl-Z (undo). You can also use Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab to quickly switch between applications running on your smartphone. Experienced users will love this. I've tested this keyboard with various devices and it seems to work well with all devices that support Bluetooth input. It worked flawlessly with Samsung Note 5, Note 9 and Galaxy S9 phones as well as Huawei Mate SE, Honor 7x and Honor View 10. I've also enjoyed using it with the Revain Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets. How great is it that we can own an ultra-portable, ultra-light 10-inch laptop for less than $150? I also bought a much smaller 7-inch Fintie Ultra Thin Wireless Keyboard. After trying both, I strongly recommend you to get a large 10 inch keyboard. Fintie's 7-inch version of this keyboard is too narrow for efficient touch typing and translates simple punctuation marks like quotation marks into function keys, which is a deal breaker. I've included a photo of the two keyboards side by side so you can see the differences. This entire review was typed on a 10 inch Fintie Bluetooth keyboard with a Samsung Note 9 as the display device. NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT Given the high quality and low price of this keyboard, it's hard to complain about its shortcomings. The main issue I've noticed is durability and it depends on how it's used. I usually throw it in my bag, and on two occasions the keys popped up and got lost while the keyboard was on the move. My solution ended up being to buy a second keyboard to use as a source of spares. It would be less wasteful if Fintie sold additional keys separately. Note: I was *not* asked to write this review and purchased this product with my own money. I have not received any compensation for this review and I really have no idea who the seller could be. I pride myself on writing objective reviews.
