Review on Fintie Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) Non-S Pen Version - Slim & Lightweight Stand Cover with Detachable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard, Rose Gold by Dean Love

First off, let me say that this little keyboard case is great overall. I work in tech and this case paired with the Galaxy Tab A has replaced my laptop for everything but heavy computing tasks like running virtual machines. The physical keyboard is perfect for taking notes in meetings, emails, and Slack. The keyboard works fine with Termux as well, although the decision to put the home button where the escape should be is annoying when using vim (note - CTRL + [ sends escape) which is the first annoying thing about this keyboard is. annoying that the keyboard doesn't send a space when pressing the spacebar when the shift key is pressed. I'm typing pretty fast even on the small keys on this keyboard, so maybe I'm just typing faster than the keyboard is sending keycodes, but it's still annoying having to correct missing spaces in typed text. The third annoying point is that the function key is where CTRL should be and they can't be swapped. Attention all keyboard manufacturers - please stop this. The control key should be the bottom left key on any keyboard. Muscle memory is a real thing, and having a control in a strange place makes operations that use that key annoying. Those three issues aside, this is a great case/keyboard. The magnetic cover keeps the keyboard securely in place, This allows you to tilt the tablet at different angles. The keys are small but spaced enough apart to make typing comfortable for long periods of time, even for someone with larger-than-average hands like mine. Four stars because it's not perfect, but still pretty good. UPDATE: The issue of not having an ESC and CTRL key in the wrong place is addressed by swapping out the keyboard that this case comes with.
