Microsoft Wireless Universal Foldable Keyboard for iPad, iPhone, Android Devices, and Windows Tablet:International QWERTY Layout

This keyboard is amazing... it saved me several times on travels, even when i thought when i wouldn't need it!... I accidentally took it on a travel without my tablet (just my cellphone) and hook it up with my iphone, it worked without even a flinch!... When i came back to work people told me "did you really spent time typing all that on your phone?" and i was like "yeah, it was not a problem" (when it actually took me just a few minutes XD hilarious!)...The travel key is kinda awkward if you are not accustomed to portable keyboards, it takes a small amount of time to adjust to it, but once you get into it, you'll fly typing like there's no tomorrow!Oh and yes, it lasts a month or 2, depending on use... mine lasts (after a few years of mild use, bought in october 2021) like 20 days nowadays, i barely notice it because it charges too fast that while by the time i do all the stuff i need to do my keyboard, tablet, cellphone, portable charger, laptop, headphone and everything that have battery is already charged.I hope it helps you as much as it helps me on a daily basis!

Yes the description does state that this is an Italian/International layout keyboard. But what you won’t know until you pair it with a US device is that most of the symbols, special characters do NOT match the key symbols. Need to type an underscore character? It’s the question mark key. What about a backslash? It’s the colon key. Really too bad as it makes the keyboard unusable beyond letters and numbers. I love the feel of the keys and the portability but otherwise it’s a paperweight. Used with my Steam Deck and my Samsung tablet. YMMV.

I find it’s pretty easy to touch type accurately on this keyboard, and it does fit in a pocket, albeit snugly, and when folded takes up almost no room in a bag. The bluetooth connectivity with my iPhone and iPad has also been flawless.It is important to understand the differences between this keyboard and others. All of the symbol keys are on much smaller keys that are more difficult to hit. Not a big deal for me, as I don’t use symbols much, and all of the letter keys are full sized. Some people have complained that some letter keys are larger than others, or about the split in the middle, but I haven’t found that to be much of an issue. My first typing test after owning this for a week pegs me at 82wpm. On a regular keyboard I might get up to 100wpm. I am satisfied with those results for such a portable keyboard.IMPORTANT: this product comes in an international layout, meaning the symbol keys are not accurately represented. It appears that Microsoft is not widely distributing this keyboard anymore, as I was unable to easily find a new-in-the-box US version. Since the letters are all correctly placed on the keyboard, I’ve decided that that’s enough for me. I really do enjoy this keyboard.

This is an Italian layout keyboard, in terms of what is actually shown on the physical keys on the device. That said, when paired with a device in the US (I'm using it with my iPad mini), it simply functions as a normal US English keyboard.I was looking for something small that would pair nicely (both in the sense of bluetooth connectivity and in the sense of being an ergonomic fit) with my 2020 iPad mini. This fits the bill. I love that it's essentially a full size keyboard, but carries in a package even smaller than the iPad itself when folded in half. I love that it pairs with multiple devices and can swap between them with the push of a button, and that it has presets built in for Windows, Android, and iOS/iPadOS. The actual physical layout of the keys is very nice, though my own preference is for the horizontal bar style of Enter key rather than the 'reverse-L' style. With that said, I have yet to miss the enter key on this keyboard, so it obviously isn't a significant issue for me.For reference, I'm a professional writer and generally type between 80 and 100 WPM on a typical apple laptop or magic keyboard, and a bit faster than that on a nice mechanical keyboard. On this device my speed right now is closer to 60 wpm - a significant slowdown for me, and for which I blame the large dividing space in the middle of the keyboard (which is where you find the device's hinge). I don't think this is insurmountable with practice, but it certainly is something to note.Overall I've found the battery life more than adequate for my usage, and have yet to fully drain the battery. I charge it to full about once per week on Sunday evenings, and use it sporadically throughout the week. I have a feeling I could probably charge it half as often and still be fine - perhaps even less given my current usage.For those who are looking for a truly pocket-carryable keyboard that expands to full laptop keyboard size, this is the best I've found on the market. If the Italian symbols on the keyboard are an issue, Amazon sells black keyboard stickers which work great to let you put your own English glyphs over the top. I did the same when I first bought the device but ultimately removed them because I preferred the feel of the bare keys and don't need to look at the keys to know what they do anyway. Your mileage may vary.

I've tried 6 popular folding keyboards, and none of them come close. Key striking is either mushy, sticky or the key placement is too cramped.MS folding keyboard is the best! Super slim when folded, very portable.Its practically full size when compared to the Surface Pro type cover. Key striking is almost identical feel to Surface type cover, not at all mushy like those other folding keyboards.Return key is vertical and awkward at first, you get used to it tho.Key strokes are actually U.S. touch type, but keyboard markings are not US, mainly different numbers and symbols. I knew this when purchasing so still 5 stars. Easily fixed buy purchasing "2 pack Universal English keyboard stickers". Worth the extra dollars to have a great portable, folding keyboard.
