Samsers Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Numeric Keypad,Full-Size Wireless Folding Keyboard with PU Leather, Portable Travel Keyboard for iOS Android Windows Mac OS, Support 3 Device(BT5.1 x 3)-Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Easy to carry and good battery life

Not bad, not amazing. It gets the job done if ur looking for something portable n easy to carry. The keys work fine n it feels like a standard keyboard when typing. Num pad is a bonus. The downside? hinge doesn’t feel very strong, n the build seems more aesthetic than protective. I wouldn’t be rough with it. If you need something ultra durable, this might not be it. But for light use n convenience, it delivers well.

I really loved this keyboard right out of the box. The leatherette shell feels very nice and covers the hinges, an improvement from the previous and less expensive versions still available. The stand works well with both my phone and iPad mini and has 5 angles. The addition of the pouch was a nice touch. The fabric is thick and i put my iPad mini, the stand and the keyboard in it together. With all these great features I was excited to put it to use for what I purchased it for: to do my Duolingo lessons in several languages. Pairing was easy. Typing went well and I was surprised that it was much quieter than the videos shown in the product reviews. But then I encountered two problems. First, I found I had to manually touch my iPad screen in the text fields before I could type in my answers. Second, I was not able to create certain letters with the option key like on my MacBook. (Å, Ø,Æ, Ñ), so I contacted customer support. I received an answer within hours and the answer was so helpful I will copy it here in case there are other people who need to type into text boxes more than they need a numbers pad: Thank you very much for contacting us! Since our B099 keyboard does not come with a trackpad, it may not be possible to move the cursor around the keyboard. We actually have a keyboard that has a similar look to the B099, but also comes with a large trackpad. It is able to move the cursor on the keyboard. Please check the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Samsers-Foldable-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Full-Size/dp/B0C1VSRZ59/ref Regarding the inability to type Norwegian characters (å,ø,æ), it requires you to add Norwegian to your typing language first, and then press a key combination to switch the typing language. The procedure is as follows: The steps to add a language vary by system: · For iOS devices only: Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add new keyboard > Select desired language · For Samsung Android devices only: Settings > Controls > Language and input > Samsung Keyboard > Select input languages > Select desired language · For Android devices only: Settings > Language & input > Physical Keyboard > Set up keyboard layouts > Select desired language · For Windows devices only: Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Select desired language And please try the following key combinations to switch the typing language: Android system: "shift + space" / "ctrl + space" / other ios system: ctrl + space Windows system: command + space I hope this solves your problem! If more questions please feel free to contact us! Thank you for choosing us! Sincerely. Samsers Even though I had done a search for Samser keyboards, that model had not popped up. I decided to return this one and ordered the one with the track pad. Return was fast and easy. I will do another review soon on the track pad version. Great customer support. UPDATE: I think you can get the cursor into a text box without a touch pad. Although I ordered the version with a touch pad, I accidentally discovered that if I hit the return key the cursor will appear in the text box. I find that much faster than using the cursor pad to the right of the keyboard.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This keyboard paired effortlessly with my iPhone and iPad, making my work so much easier while traveling. It feels fantastic to type on, and as a fast typist, I really appreciate a good keyboard. The folding feature is incredibly convenient for fitting in my bag, and it looks pretty cool when it folds up! Highly recommend for anyone on the go!

Connection with computer(s) is super easy. Even a caveman could do it. They had two models, one with 10-key number pad and one without. I purchased the one with the keypad since I am accountant and constantly using numbers. Keys are super responsive and the whole keyboard really feels like a full size model. I would certainly recommend this to those who type a lot of notes on their phone or even on a small tablet. This keyboard on my laptop does not have a number pad so when I have room to spread it out I can use it instead. As far as value it certainly worth the extra bucks for the number pad over the regular. This would make a great gift for some of my coworkers who primarily use their tablets or phone to handle office communications. With regards compatibility I have it connected to phone, tablet, and laptop and there are no issues with connection or speed. Uses a standard USB-S connection for charging which is conveniently the same as my other devices.

The Samsers Tri-fold Keyboard (model B099) is a very nice keyboard. It has full-sized A-Z & 0-9 keys, but all the other keys are smaller than normal (including the numberpad keys). Like others have said, the hinge on the bottom left side does get in the way a bit when typing, but it's not a huge deal. It actually helps you know where the small space bar ends. That said, if Samsers ever makes an updated tri-fold keyboard, recessed hinges might be the best way to go. Like the title says, this is a great keyboard for smart phones and other devices. Seems like that was what it was designed for, rather than traveling with a mini-computer running Windows as I am. Certain keys are programmed to make working on a smart device easier, such as making the ESC key open a web browser instead of actually sending the ESC key signal. This makes the keyboard a bit annoying to use with a Mac or PC. Samsers realized this, probably late in the design process, and added a "FN lock" (FN+Tab) to put the keyboard into a Windows/Mac mode that allows the ESC & F1-F12 keys act like normal PC/Mac keys, but unfortunately the lock doesn't stay locked. After a few minutes the lock is removed and the keyboard reverts back to the smart device keys. If the keyboard's firmware is able to be upgraded, this is the one thing I would recommend Samsers update... prevent the FN lock from turning off until a user manually turns it off. One of the things I do during my down time while traveling is game. The ESC key is pretty much essential to back out of windows and screens quickly or to cancel actions. Many games also use the F1-F12 keys for various actions. Holding down the FN key to use these keys will make you go slower as the habits you have formed will not automatically press the FN key in order to press one of the ESC or F1-F12 keys. You'll hit the ESC key, for example, and then a couple seconds will tick by before you realize it didn't work. Then you'll need to hunt for the FN key (which takes time), press that and the ESC key at the same time (which requires you to move your entire hand, not just your fingers). It's a pain. That said, it is an awesome keyboard. The scissor keys work well, and when folded up the keyboard is 18 cm (7 in) long and almost 2 cm thick, and about 12 cm (4.5 in) wide. Nice and small! It also comes with a small pouch that can fit the keyboard and most of your cables, which is also nice. I've tried a few other portable keyboard, such as the silicon keyboard that you roll up, but so far this Samsers is the best I've found.

This keyboard works well and after using it for some time.It is holding up The keys all still work! I had been using the soft sided keyboards and had to keep buying them because the keys would stop working. Plus you can type on this like a normal keyboard where the soft sided ones you had to press fairly hard to get it to work.
