Being a former Blackberry user, I can't get the hang of typing on glass. As a result, I have been looking for a small Bluetooth keyboard to replicate the old-school experience. This keyboard "kind-of" fits the bill. it is bigger than a Blackberry keyboard, but considerably smaller than a small keyboard. The keys are rubber, and require a bit of a shove and the keyboard itself is very light. Both of these combined to make the experience okay. First of all, I tried typing with my thumbs a-la Blackberry. The keyboard is slightly too big for that. Putting it on a surface causes it to slip... however.... I had some spare anti-slip rubber feet that I stuck to the bottom, angling it slightly. And that has immediately improved things, elevating it to a four star performance. The keyboard is small enough to take with you in a pocket, and with the two rubber feet turns in a reasonable performance when typing using index fingers. On the whole, I'm pleased I bought it. It's another tool to ease the horrible, horrible on-screen keyboards and it was reasonably priced from Pimoroni, who were able to deliver to Scotland as many places wouldn't due to the battery!

Works perfectly but the smooth plastic back means it doesn't stay still when typing with the board free standing. I will get some self-adhesive non-slip feet for it and see if that helps.

Conects just fine, the size is great, the layout is OK. However, some important keys are missing (Tab, F-keys) and the keys are mushy, rubbery, with little to no feedback.

Only just got it but it works well with my Samsung A12. It's similar insize and very light. Perfect for travelling and so much easier to use than a phone stylus. I'm looking forward to using it !!! Brian

I bought this to use with my Steam Deck and on the whole it’s a very good device. The only thing don’t like is the dark green colour on the functions keys because it’s difficult to read in poor light. I’d also rather it had a USB C port instead of micro USB.

Perfect for a project with a pi and 3.5inch screen

The keyboard discharges quickly, and there is a light humming noise when charged. Otherwise, the buttons work smoothly, the device is light and compact enough to fit in your palm, and its easy to connect to.
