Geyes Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for iPhone, iPad and Smartphone, Travel Keyboard (Black)

I use this keyboard with my iPad when I'm traveling, which is every weekend. Once I got used to the smaller size (which I like for traveling) I love it. I've started using more and more even at home when I have access to a full size keyboard.

I love this little keyboard. Pros: It connects to my phone correctly and easily. When folded up, it's not much bigger than my phone. I needed this item for its small size and portability, while also needing to not spend a ton of money. The item checks these boxes. I can bust it out and type on the go without using the phone's ridiculous little on-screen keypad when I need to make some serious typing headway. The little phone stand is the BEST part. It is cleverly designed, adjustable, well made and sturdy. Cons: The keypad does not feel durable. It is advertised that the phone stand that comes with it doubles as a way to clip onto the keyboard to keep it straight and flat. It does clip on, but when I tried to remove it from the keyboard, the clip was so strong and well made, that it did not flex enough to release the keyboard and the keyboard started to come pull apart (bottom from the top/key side). The tugging required made me almost certain I was going to pull the keyboard in half. I will never put it back on the keyboard. The connection point in the middle also feels like it is likely to snap if not carefully handled when the keyboard is open. Decreased one star for the fragile-feel of it. Summary: would buy again; has already recommended to friends.

I primarily needed a solution to be able to get into my Linux workstation at the office while on vacation (strictly in case of emergency), without having to lug my laptop with me. This keyboard now allows me to use my tablet as a remote desktop for that purpose. Unlike most similar foldable keyboards, this one does NOT use the function key to control the escape, backspace, and delete keys, which for me is important for my text editing use. A few other keys are oddly located (backtick, tilde, slash, and question mark are moved to the lower right corner) but are still available. Again, for my needs that is less important. The photo shows this keyboard in comparison to my laptop's keyboard. Key spacing is similar and the hinge properly splits left hand keys from right hand keys. Some of the keys along the edges got squashed though. As I've just received the keyboard, I can't speak to its longevity, but set up was easy and so far I'm happy.

I didn't want to lug my laptop on the airplane. This worked great with my cellphone. Easy to connect.

Here’s a real-time review as I’m carefully typing on this little keyboard. In an effort to make the keyboard fold, they made certain keys smaller and not in the same places as expected. “B” which i use left hand to type is on the right side. The backspace is too small, arrows “?” and “~” keys randomly placed. If you’re a touch typist, this keyboard will for sure drive you crazy! Ok I switched back to another keyboard so I can finish the review. With the folding keyboard I had to focus on actually “typing” instead of writing, and it will take you 3X to do so. I won’t want to retrain my typing skills as it will for sure mess up with my normal typing on every other keyboard. My recommendation: just don’t. Any $15 mini keyboard would work better.
