iClever Foldable Keyboard, BK08 Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, Aluminum Build, USB-C Charge, Equipped with Stand Holder and Carrying Bag, Portable for Laptop, iPad, iPhone, 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.

Price was good. It doesn't feel cheap. I bought this for my steam deck because sometimes the virtual keyboard doesn't work right. So this physical one was needed. Gotta say I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Some of the keys feel a little squished together but some regular use will you use to it.

Wish it locked open. I use this for my Steam Deck and its floppy if you put it on your lap. Otherwise it works ok.

Very nice product. Attention to detail and use. The keyboard works well and the trackpad is smooth. The included free stand holds my little screen perfectly. Overall, this keyboard completes my compact travel office nicely.

It is 5 stars for the price. For under $60 this is insane. I cannot speak to longevity though. Currently I see 3 things that I feel I would like to see upgraded, but again, I cannot complain when I paid less than 60 USD for it. The mouse can be inaccurate(occasionally jumps), the hinges are plastic and don’t feel terribly solid, but the aluminum body is amazing to have, and the apostrophe key being relocated has made me send a couple of messages prematurely. Not a big deal, just takes some getting used to. I have medium sized hands(3.5 credit cards tall according to the Logitech test) and have no issues typing on this keyboard(though I hit the Bluetooth 1 button when I first tried it instead of the backspace key. Way better now). The multi gesture touch pad is a big bonus.About the touchpad(since the pics can be deceiving) I am using an iPad Mini 7, and I have movement of the cursor with one finger, zoom with pinching motions, 2 fingers to scroll, 3 fingers up to bring up and close apps(2 fingers up when the app manager comes up to close the app), 4 fingers side to side to switch apps quickly. The actual clicks are the buttons, not the touchpad. Purchasing this I did not think I would have 3 and 4 finger options, but it’s working!We will see about longevity, but for this price, 5 stars. If I paid more for it, I would be thinking 4 stars.
