ProtoArc Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard, XK01 Folding Wireless Portable Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Full-Size Travel Keyboards for iPad Tablet Smartphone Laptop PC Windows iOS Android, BlackClimatePartner certified

I’ve been using this portable keyboard for a while now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite accessories. The design is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in a backpack or even a small bag without adding bulk. Setup was simple and quick, just turn it on, connect via Bluetooth (or cable, if applicable), and it’s ready to go.The keys are surprisingly comfortable for such a slim device. They provide good tactile feedback, and typing feels natural, even during longer sessions. I also appreciate the battery life; it lasts for days (or weeks) on a single charge, which makes it reliable for travel or daily use without worrying about constant charging.One small downside is that the keys are slightly smaller than a full-sized keyboard, so there’s a short adjustment period. However, once you get used to it, typing speed and accuracy improve.Overall, this portable keyboard is an excellent option for anyone who needs a convenient, travel-friendly typing solution, perfect for students, professionals, or anyone who works on the go.

This is the second ProtoArc foldable keyboard I've purchased. The first (same model, silver color) has functioned flawlessly since I received it in April 2024. I use it intermittently for work travel since it gives me additional distance between myself and my laptop screen and it includes a 10-key, which my laptop does not. I would estimate in the last 15 months I've used it for a total of 30 to 45 days on the road. It connects instantly and is still running on its first charge. The size is perfect for my hands and typing style.This one I've purchased as a gift to my son who has discovered the keyboard works well with his Steam Deck. Now he won't have to borrow mine! The only difference between the two purchases that's of minor disappointment is that this one did not come with a protective pouch.I'm so pleased with this item that I bought a ProtoArc ergonomic mouse. It's too bad that they don't ship to my location!

I want to give it 4.5 but that's not a choiceI mainly tried the XK01 foldable keyboard because it has the keypad and it's designed for portability.The idea is to use it with the a docked Steam Deck or with my phone when traveling.Super simple Bluetooth connectivity (up to 3 devices) or you can use the USBb C cable, too.Very compact but still leaves me feeling like my fingers have some space to move around instead of having to crumble them together to hit the keys.When folded, it feels secure and sturdy enough to withstand moving around inside a backpack. It's also very lightweight which is a plus.My point deductions come more from needing to use it on a flat surface that covers the width of the keyboard. And, as other reviewers said, you can to pay a little attention to the hinges when opening and folding the keyboard because sometimes they move out of track and you can break them or push them out when opening and closing. It's not a big deal but you do have to be aware and the hinges feel like the weakest link. They look a little delicate.As for the need for a flat surface, I think the keyboard could benefit from a way to lock the keyboard open so if you are traveling and need to set it on your lap, the keys stay relatively flat and you can type. It's very easy for the keyboard to fold inwards. This is not a deal breaker since it's personal preference, but it would be a nice addition for a future model.

Certified Working Dad (or mom) purchase.As a hybrid WFH dad, I needed a keyboard that was portable, functional, and budget-friendly without cutting corners. The Protoarc nailed it. I grabbed it on sale, and honestly, for the $/function ratio it’s hard to beat.I prefer silent keyboards (loud clicks in an office or at night are a no-go), and this one delivers. It folds down to about passport size, making it easy to toss in my bag when I dash between the office, home, or a coffee shop. But the real selling point: when unfolded, it’s full-size. The typing feel is similar to a laptop keyboard—familiar, comfortable, and practical.The build is solid, not luxury but not cheap either—just functional and reliable. For the way I work (late nights, remote spots, and hopping between desks), this is a true bang-for-buck Amazon find.10/10 – You can definitely do worse.

UPDATE: I reached out to the company customer service. They were very prompt and helpful in accessing and troubleshooting the issues. When nothing seemed to resolve them, they stood behind their satisfaction guarantee and offered to replace my keyboard with a new one at no cost. The keyboard came faster than expected! It is so nice to have a functioning keyboard again! Very happy with this company and their product! Definitely would recommend them and their product!Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this keyboard due to the number pad on the side and the foldable, lightweight, design that comes with a carrying pouch. I have had this since March 2024. However it now lost functionality of many keys like “q”, “z” and copy and pasting with the control key. I use all these keys frequently at my job so having to resort to my laptop keyboard for the features is very bothersome for a year old keyboard. If the features/keys lasted longer, this definitely would be a higher ranking. But as of now, I am very disappointed in the product.
