iClever BK08 Foldable Keyboard with Touchpad for Phone and Tablet, Silver

Ever try to use a laptop at a crowded airport bar during a flight delay? Or on an airplane with increasingly shrinking seat space? Now you don't have to. Remember the netbook craze where you ended up with a very underpowered laptop and low resolution screen? They call those mini/micro-laptops now and they are still underpowered with low res screens. Wireless keyboards aren't new, and portable bluetooth keyboards seem to be a dime a dozen... So what does the iClever BK08 offer that the countless other pocket bluetooth keyboards don't? True productivity in a pocket form factor. If paired with a screen that can display full-sized apps then you might have a real-deal laptop replacement. I am tired of lugging my laptop around, or having to keep a car nearby just to hold my computer and accessories in case I need to do work. Don't even get me started on a "lapdock" for a smartphone that has all the form factor drawbacks to a laptop with none of the processing horsepower. After getting fed up with my trusty but slightly flawed smartphone after a 10 minute unexpected work task took 30, I decided to upgrade to a folding phone so I could do no-kidding office work on my phone and display the level of detail I needed. After about a week I knew I was keeping the phone, but the onscreen keyboard was doing quirky things here and there I wasn't quite appreciating. For short periods of time it was fine, but if I wanted to do real productivity work the onscreen keyboard wasn't going to do. So I decided I needed a separate keyboard that was ultra-portable. After an hour of hour of looking around on Amazon, there was only one real option for me. The iClever BK08 had a touchpad with two physical buttons. Click and drag with one hand? Check. Right click for a context menu? Check. Right shift key? Check. All the keys you'd expect to have (Ctrl, Alt, Tab, F1-F12, etc)? Check. Being able to do office work productively anywhere without lugging around a tech pack? Check. And that's priceless. The keyboard was a little bigger than I was hoping for. After all this is a keyboard I bought to fold and go in a pant pocket. But after a couple of times actually walking around with it and unfolding it at a bar during happy hour (or on a random concrete pillar to type something out before I got distracted and forgot) the size of the keyboard actually became an advantage. One thing I noticed after only a couple of uses was that my typing speed was about the same as when using my laptop. On a lark I actually laid the iClever keyboard down by my laptop keyboard (coincidentally where the trackpad sits) and it has a typing surface that is about the same size. Not bad for something that fits in a pocket. I live in a walkable community, and one of the things that is going to be right next to my keys for when I am on the go is this keyboard. Definitely a game changer. Match this keyboard up with the right smartphone (and maybe a cheap, lightweight phone stand) and you have laptop replacement that bypasses the tablet device class altogether. You can use this with any device that accepts bluetooth keyboards, though, including tablets. For context I have included photos of the iClever BK08 keyboard placed by a foldable smartphone with unfolded screen, a tablet, and a laptop keyboard. The laptop has a 15" screen and the keyboards are roughly the same size. While using the keyboard I have had no issue with character pickup on the bluetooth connection, and trackpad has been accurate. The keyboard does not seem to have a power level indicator but I have not had an issue so far with battery life. I actually purchased two of these products, and one of the keyboards stays in my car in case I need to take an unscheduled meeting or work stop. The pack in phone/tablet stand works well, but I use a smaller product that folds a little flatter the cost me about $6. I keep the stand in my car in case I need to set my phone on an uneven surface. One improvement I would suggest is to have a multi-touch capable trackpad, but if using this with a touchscreen smartphone like I am it isn't really noticed because I zoom from the touchscreen. I only tested for multi-touch after reading a 1-star review that mentioned they could not scroll with two fingers. That is the first time I even thought to try it, so hadn't noticed. Also, another item for the wishlist would be backlit keys. But compared to the productivity boost this keyboard has provided me those are minor omissions. As a final side note: for gaming you would probably want to adhere some type of no-skid surface to the bottom of the keyboard. Bottom Line: This product combined with the right mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc) can provide a laptop replacement-level productivity boost in a pocket form factor. This is a killer product for those want a mobile office without all the bulk.

This keyboard was perfect for my trip. Despite being foldable and portable, it felt super close to typing on a full blown keyboard, which made it easy to get work done on the go. The tri-fold design made it easy to pack, and connecting across devices worked smoothly. The only thing I wish it had was backlit keys, though I do understand that would likely affect battery life, so it's a fair tradeoff for a compact, portable design. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable keyboard for travel!

In thinking about a review, I'm realizing how old I am. In the late 1990s, I had a clamshell keyboard for my PalmPilot Pro. Then, around the time I got my Vx, there was the folding keyboard that collapsed into something not much bigger than the PDA. I really liked this keyboard, because the keys were almost full-sized. Over the years, I've investigated a number of different portable keyboards to use with my devices and haven't never been completely happy - not because of the functionality, but because of the size. They're bigger than I want to carry around. A year ago or so, I bought a Moleboxes Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. It was very functional. But it's bigger than I want to carry around in my bag, just in case I want to use it. Also, it's a monotasker in that it only works with one device at a time. So I carried it around to use with my Android tablet, and got a keyboard clam case for the little 8-inch Windows tablet I carry around for when Android isn't enough, e.g., running presentations. But, that has me hauling 4 devices. I'm fairly well pleased with the iClever keyboard. The fact that I'm able to use it with my Android and Windows tablets, as well as my phone, is exactly what I was looking for. Switching can be a little slow as it re-connects, but it's a matter of pushing a couple of buttons rather than re-pairing the devices. I get the fact that small keyboards often have to come up with creative keyboard combinations to get all the options. And the iClever is no exception. However, they're not bad - although, the loss of the apostrophe/quotation physical key takes some getting used to. I keep hitting the Enter key when I want to use a contraction or a possessive. I do wish that the keys were a little bit bigger. I've long fingers, and there's a bit of cramping-ness that goes on when I use the keyboard. But that's par for the course with keyboards like this. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a $40 keyboard. While I've found the keys to be responsive, the touchpad can be finicky. But, given that touchpads alone have some pretty high prices for top-quality devices, this shouldn't be a surprise. And the performance is no worse than the other inexpensive, portable keyboards I've used. I'm definitely pleased with this purchase. PS: I still use the Moleboxes keyboard. It's connected via a Bluetooth adapter to the PC that functions as our family server.

I would give 10 stars if I could. I’ve been using the iClever Foldable Keyboard BK08 for almost two years now, and honestly, it’s been solid from day one. It feels really sturdy and well-built—not like some cheap foldable keyboards that feel flimsy and break easily. I’m impressed that even after all this time, it still functions perfectly without any hiccups. One of the best parts is how easily it syncs with up to three devices. Switching between my phone, tablet, and laptop is seamless, which makes working on the go way more efficient. The touchpad is also super responsive, so I don’t have to carry around a separate mouse, which is a huge plus for portability. Battery life has been great too. I barely have to charge it, and when I do, it charges up pretty quickly. This keyboard is a fantastic companion if you need something compact, reliable, and easy to carry around. Definitely worth it if you’re often working away from your desk.

So far, this keyboard is freaking awesome!! The size is something to get used to, but that’s expected after using a full-sized keyboard to type for so long. It functions like it should, all the keys type super well, and it is quiet enough that it doesn’t disrupt anyone in a room! The keyboard is built very sturdily despite the majority plastic build and doesn’t weigh much at all. I’ve only had it for about a day now though, so take this comment with a grain of salt. No backlit keyboard which is great for me. The bluetooth connectivity worked surprisingly well and connected incredibly fast. I haven’t had the chance to see if connectivity is affected when the battery life decreases, but I haven’t had to worry about that because the battery hasn’t decreased at all… So great battery life as of now!

I bought this keyboard for traveling to use with my Samsung Fold phone. It connects easily and has three channels so I can also use it with my tablet. It is very convenient, compact and feels solidly made. I like the feel of the keys. Typing is quiet and they feel soild and welll made. The hinges are strudy and the keyboard has a bit of heft to it so it doesn't feel cheap and delicate. I have encountered a few problems though. First, while it connected to my phone and tablet in seconds, I spent an hour trying to get it to work in Samsung Dex mode, which is why I bought it. I needed the touchpad and figured it would be perfect to just carry a layboard with a pad rather than a separate mouse. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to record clicks in Dex mode. This is extremely frustrating and negated the reason for buying the keyboard. In the end I bought a very high quality ergo trackball which also paris to multiple devices and while its something else to carry I've enjoyed using it far more than a touchpad. Second is the size of the keys. I've used this keyboard for many hours now and it is very slow to type on. There is no way my hands fit on it for touch typing. I have to hunt and peck which is very slow and I still make mistakes often. Worse than the keys being too small, the non letter keys on the right side are in some bizarre order forcing me to stop and look to try to find the key I want. Most annoying is the bluetooth channel button next to the backspace button. The keybaord is small, they are close together, so when I make a mistake and try to erase it without looking, I disconnect my tablet and connect my phone. Every. Time. So its a good solid reliable compact keyboard for travel but not at all conveneint or ergonomic. If you need it for Samsung Dex or type a lot or need to type quickly, I cannot recommend it.

Nice compact and portable keyboard! After using it for a few years, it still functions without any issues.

I wanted to give this keyboard 3 or 4 stars, but honestly, I couldn't. There are a few small this about it that I dislike, but there are so many surrounding mountainous things that I love about it that IO have to give it my full recommendation. I've had this keyboard for about 6mo now. I use it daily with my Tab S3 for work sending emails, drafting legal documents, surfing the net, etc. In fact, it is helping me to write this review as I type. Here's my pet peeves about the keyboard: Keyboard Layout - The special character layout is slightly unconventional. I have to press the Function key to add a ? but the ` is a button away. The function lock key is close to the backspace and sometimes I start doing function commands rather than typing out numerals at the top of the keyboard. When capitalizing letters, I'll hold shift and press space, but it does not add a space. e.g. ILOVETHISKEYBOARD (holding shift and pressing space does not add spaces in between, can be an inconvenience when typing at a fast pace. and my fingers get ahead of themselves.) Here are my top pros: Battery Life, Battery Life, Battery Life. I am 95% sure I have only given this keyboard it's initial charge in the 6mo I've owned it. Checking the battery today, it still shows full life. Again, I use this thing daily! Portability - I have received numerous comments, friends, families, even clients commenting on the size, convenience and how sleek the keyboard looks. It fits comfortably in my laptop bag. Despite the overall size, my fingers quickly grew accustomed to the key layout. Functionality - The keyboard connects seamlessly to my Tab S3, I can use a mouse cursor on the tablet screen using the trackpad. For some online applications, it opens up more options than what my touchscreen alone allows. I can use keyboard shortcuts (i.e. ctrl + V) and it has built in shortcuts to collapse all the windows, open my email, and more. Customer Service - Within the first month or two of buying the keyboard, the spacebar randomly stopped working. I sent an email to the customer support team. After 2 or 3 email exchanges and waiting a week or so I had a brand new keyboard delivered to me by the company. I was fully impressed with their service and promptness. Overall - this keyboard rocks. Because of my initial concern of overall size, key layout, and the space bar malfunctioning I wanted to give this keyboard a lower rating. But after growing accustomed to it, receiving great customer service and never charging the battery, I am fully satisfied with it.

Nice unit - good feel metal body. Keys easy to type on good travel. Easy to open and shut - no fiddly latches. Automatic power on/off on open/shut - no buttons to deal with for power. Works flawlessly on Apple iOS 26, iPadOS, tvOS and macOS - no additional software required, just do a Bluetooth pairing and your done. Supports up to three Bluetooth device pairings. Easy Bluetooth switching with button 1, 2, 3. For trackpad support enable Touch Assist in Settings Accessibility on Apple. Comes with carry pouch. Foldable iPhone stand also included. Highly recommended.

My touch pad does not work and wrote 3 times on Amazon portal asking seller for help. But no response. Guess i have to throw this beautiful keyboard and buy another brand where i can get after sale service help.

My repeat purchase. This time for my friend. I have tried many brands. Hands down this is best for use across my iPhone and several ipads
