ProtoArc XK01 Full-Size Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for Travel, Blue

I use this daily to connect to my phone. It never drops a connection, dust and grime doesn't bother it, and the keys are large and accessible. I've charged it once in 8 months. A few cons: -it can't connect to more than one item at once - the delete and printscreen buttons are small and side-by-side, so they're easy to mix up - you can use it on your lap, but the double-hinges means it will bend down. It's much easier on a flat surface These are pretty small issues and wouldn't stop me buying it again. The phone support it comes with is a great addition, too. Can positively recommend this.

Used it daily for a month during a trip and it worked well without a need to be recharged. At this point I am very pleased with the product.

Bought this for travel for my husband as he travels for work and works remotely at times. He LOVES it. He is very happy with this.

********************************* UPDATE No. 2 (March 8, 2025 ********************************* I contacted the company and they did send me a replacement. I had to shoot a video to prove that my keyboard was not functioning properly first and they mailed out the new keyboard. So, the customer service is great. However, the new keyboard is having similar issues already. It definitely works better than my previous keyboard, but the alt and spacebar keys are sort of difficult to press. They work, but you have to press very hard on them, which I wouldn't mind too much except for two reasons (1) I use alt-tab and alt-ctrl religiously to switch between apps and zoom, so alt is a key I probably use more than any; and (2) it's inconsistent. For whatever reason, you must press harder on the alt and spacebar than the other keys. I wouldn't mind as much if the weight was the same across all keys, but it's not and that's my complaint. Still, I'm very happy they sent me a replacement and will bump them up 2 stars. ****************************** UPDATE: January 16, 2025 ****************************** After using this keyboard for about four months, I was FINALLY starting to get used to the awkward placement and size of some of the keys, and then... it broke. The "T" and "G" keys will no longer work properly. Sometimes, if I press VERY hard several times in a row, I can get one of them to type, but the keyboard is basically useless to me now. It's so frustrating to spend $50 on something that only lasts a few months. Despite that, I still think this would be a nice keyboard if they'd just tweak a few things ... Key placement: Having the "Page Dn" and "Page Up" keys in a row between the right arrow and O numkey is so frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to click the right arrow or type the "O" and it causes my screen window to page down. It's so annoying. Folding: There needs to be a way to lock it in place when unfolded, especially if you want to use it on your lap. Spacebar: Very inconsistent and will sometimes not register Really, that's about it. If they would tweak those issues, I think it would be one of the best mini keyboards out there. The battery life is excellent, the look is slim and attractive and key mechanism feels nice. ********************* ORIGINAL REVIEW ********************* I'm a weirdo. I spend so much time at a computer that I get excited when I order a new keyboard. The anticipation swells as I watch the tracking info until finally! It's here. This keyboard was no different. However, since the day I unboxed this tri-fold wireless keyboard, I've been met with disappointment after disappointment. The first major disappointment was the folding mechanism. This does not lock when unfolded. That means if you need to place it on your lap -- which I often must do -- it will easily fold back in on itself while you are typing. And even if you place the keyboard on a pillow or something soft, it often sinks into the pillow and bows in a somewhat concave position. The next disappointment is the spacebar. I have no idea why, but I would guess one out of about every 10 presses of the spacebar just does not register. Finally, those tiny, infinitesimal arrow keys. Not only are they very small and difficult to press, they are difficult to find because of the awkward positioning. I cannot tell you how many times I have missed the arrow keys and pressed the "page down" key. It's too many times to count, which leads me to my final negative: the lack of a backlight. I didn't think it would be a huge deal with this keyboard, but it kind of is, just because of the spacing of those arrow keys and some other commonly used keys, like page up/down and the tiny function keys. Am I being too rough on this little keyboard? Maybe. But I kind of feel like I paid just a bit more for this keyboard than most so I guess I was just expecting a little more. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some positives: It folds up nicely and is very compact. It can actually fit in your pocket if it's large enough. And the battery is awesome so far. I've been using this for several weeks without needing to charge it yet. And I probably use it a few hours a day. Finally, the Bluetooth functionality is great. It's responsive, has no ghosting or repeating letters and has never disconnected while using it. It's also nice that it automatically goes to sleep when you fold it and reconnects instantly when opened. I'm still giving it three stars as it's not a complete disappointment, but I feel like a few tiny adjustments (locking mechanism, spacebar tweak and maybe a backlight) would make this an awesome keyboard. As is, it just misses the mark, in my humble opinion.

Good product when it worked. Within 3 months, several keys stopped working. Customer support was attentive, but could not fix the issue. A refund was issued, but it was still frustrating to only have it work for a few months.
