Excellent folding keyboard!
I purchased one of these a few years ago that had a slightly wonky space bar, it was such a minor flaw that I assumed it was just a factor of the keyboard being foldable. After killing my original while trying to clean some crud out from under the keys (I removed the keys and probably wasn't careful enough), I replaced it since I still loved the 3 device connection and the integrated number pad.The new keyboard is flawless! Still light, still foldable, still has the number pad, but every single key is super responsive and I no longer have to hunt for a 'sweet spot' on ay of them!I haven't been able to find a silicone keyboard protector yet, so I've covered it with a sheet of press & seal wrap that I trimmed to fit, to save it from debris and spills.The only thing that would make me like this keybord better is if Protoarc offered a low profile sleeve for it the way they do for their keyboard/mouse combo, currently when I put it in my bag I'm using the plastic envelope it was in inside the box.

Finally, a Folding Keyboard That Doesn't Compromise!
I've tried my fair share of folding keyboards in the past, hoping for the perfect blend of portability and comfortable typing. Unfortunately, they always seemed to fall short. Whether it was an annoying seam right where my fingers would land, oddly shaped keys that threw off my typing rhythm, or the constant need for new batteries (and maybe not havionng them with me), there was always a trade-off. But with this new folding keyboard, I can honestly say those frustrations are a thing of the past!What immediately impressed me is that when unfolded, this keyboard feels and functions exactly like a full-sized, traditional keyboard. I was thrilled to see the inclusion of a complete 10-key number pad, something often sacrificed in portable designs. You genuinely cannot tell it's a folding keyboard when it's open and ready for use. The surface is completely smooth and seamless, eliminating those disruptive ridges that plagued previous models.The typing experience itself is fantastic. The keys have a satisfying and responsive feel, making it a joy to type on for extended periods. It's comfortable and doesn't feel cramped at all, unlike many other portable options.I also love the fact that this keyboard is rechargeable. No more scrambling for batteries or the guilt of constantly throwing them away – a huge plus for convenience and the environment!Beyond the core functionality, this keyboard excels in other areas too. It's incredibly portable and easy to slip into a bag when folded, making it perfect for travel or working on the go. The Bluetooth connection has been rock solid and consistently stable and reliable. It feels well-built and sturdy, not flimsy or cheap like some other folding keyboards I've encountered. Setting it up was a breeze – it paired with my devices instantly without any hassle. For the price, I truly believe this keyboard offers incredible value.If you're looking for a folding keyboard that truly delivers on its promise of portability without sacrificing a comfortable, full-sized typing experience, look no further. This one is a game-changer! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a keyboard for travel, remote work, or simply to save space without compromising on functionality. This is, without a doubt, the best folding keyboard I've ever used!

Great Keyboard with One Recommended Improvement
I have used the ProtoArc keyboard for several weeks now. Overall, it has been a great purchase. The action on the keys is quiet. And yet it is easy to accurately touch type on. I am impressed with its ability to connect with up to three Bluetooth devices. I have it connected to my iPad and iPhone. There’s not some switch on the back that you have to flip in order to switch from one to the other. Instead, you hit one of the three orange buttons located on the right side, above the numeric keyboard.It does have one Achilles heel of an issue. There is a screen shot photo button located immediately to the right of the backspace button. Far too often, I was hitting the screen shot button instead of the backspace. My Photo album was filling up with screen shots.To fix this, I built a small, flexible cover for the photo button. I cut a thin rectangular piece of plastic, from an empty milk jug. Bent the ends at a 90 degree angle and placed the bends far enough apart so that the cover straddles the key. The two legs are long enough to rest in the slots on either side of the key. I can still push the photo button if I really want to use it, but the cover prevents accidentally pushing the wrong button because I can feel the difference between the two.I think the manufacturer could/should lower the photo key by a millimeter or two. Also stiffen the action on that key so it takes more of a dedicated press to get it to work. Require a one second press to make the key work. Put a raised (or lowered) nub in the middle of the key (like what is on the “F” and “J” keys.So other than that one problem, which I have fixed to my satisfaction, the rest of the keyboard is great and with my fix in place, I have no problem recommending the keyboard to others.
