ProtoArcFoldable Keyboard with Touchpad, XK01 TP Folding Portable Keyboard, Full Size Keys, Large Trackpad Bluetooth Travel Keyboards for iPad Laptop PC Tablets -BlackClimatePartner certified

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I opened my keyboard today and was completely astonished by the touch and feel, the packaging, how it folded into a really small area. I carry it with me everywhere. The packaging was incredible nice. There were features on the keyboard that I never knew I wanted. Like multiple bluetooth connection to multiple devices, a little stand for my ZFold or tablet, a cover with a magnetic closure. The attention to detail is exquisite. For me, the key advantage is to have single keyboard across multple devices. Otherwise I am learning new keyboard finder distances each time.Now this is not a desktop keyboard. But it give me the mobility, multi-connections to phone or tablet or PC all at the same time. And it feels great to the touch.Oh yea.. documentation excellent. Note from the company founder excellent. Amazing product packaging others can learn from.

I've had this keyboard for about 6 months, and use it regularly enough I feel comfortable reviewing it.I purchased this pretty much to go with what you see in the photo, a Legion Go. This is a windows gaming device where the controllers detach to leave a high-powered, work-appropriate Windows tablet. But to really be able to use this, I needed both a separate keyboard and a mouse.Since I carry everything on me, I needed a functional but ultra-portable solution-- I already had a folding keyboard, which was great, but adding a wireless mouse was getting to bulky-- since I'm already carrying charging cables and a portable battery pack.This keyboard is probably one of the nicest folding chicklet keyboards I've used. The build quality is pretty solid, I haven't had any of the keys get loose. The trackpad is solid, but doesn't always register clicks, but I think that's part of the mechanical limitations. I've also noticed that the trackpad is a fingerprint/oil magnet, but so long as you're not doing this for aesthetics it works just fine.The thing has an internal battery charged by USB-C, which is vastly more convenient in 2025 compared to the micro-USB charging ports I've had on other folding keyboards-- and the device charges quickly and has a handy red/blue indicator light. It goes to sleep when folded. It also is great at waking up the device. I found pairing pretty easy. If I wanted to get fancy and pair it to multiple devices there are bright yellow Bluetooth shortcuts above the trackpad.I'm a touch typer and while not as comfortable or as accurate as a full mechanical or laptop keyboard, it feels as good as you're going to get for one of these devices.I use this mostly for writing emails and notes at work. For light productivity, it works great, but if you're going to be typing a 20 page term paper on your tablet, I'd suggest a full keyboard and mouse setup-- this isn't the most ergonomic solution, but to be fair, none of these folding keyboards are.One of the things I like is that it comes with a handy sleeve that closes with a magnetic button, it's a great touch that protects the keyboard without adding much in the way of bulk. It also comes with a phone/tablet stand that I'm sure is great, but I put to the side. There is a tiny little pocket in the sleeve for that.At $60 it's literally a third the cost of a Surface Pro keyboard, and about a quarter of the cost of folio keyboard option for Apple.I'd say it's a great option, especially if you find yourself limited by a touch screen. It also could be used with game consoles for the rare times you need to enter text such as character naming or entering in passwords when you don't want to use a controller.

I have purchased and tried the following:ProtoArc XK01 TP vs Samsers vs ProtoArc XK02The largest of the three, and I believe the newest. This was the third device tested. It has a dedicated function row, the largest trackpad, and the largest key caps.Pros:-I get my highest WPM on this one, even though its not my favorite feel, it is the most comfortable layout-Trackpad is the largest, best texture, most responsive.-No weird feet to flip out-Good carry case-opening and closing turns on and off-Sleep isn't intrusive-All black look is clean and simple-most full layout, most keys, largest caps-due to dedicated bluetooth switch keys, there are more function options available on F row-has home/end/pgUP/pgDnCons:-Trackpad does not have "natural scrolling"-Largest when folded up-my hinge caps are a bit loose, and the noises when opening and closing are the least satisfying/natural of the three-keys aren't as stable as the smallest board, on par with the Samsers-most expensive-key feel is deepest, but can come off as a bit mushy. (I still type fastest on this, but that is mainly due to the superior layout, it is not the most enjoyable to type on)-Key cap material probably lowest quality/look/feel of the three

Does exactly what it needs to, and it does it well. If you’re like me and have 3 kittens, the foldable architecture is a MUST. When I need to type or use the trackpad, I simply unfold the keyboard and it is always connected before I even finish unfolding it. Brilliant, no headaches. Then I put it away when I’m done and it disconnects to conserve battery, which lasts surprisingly long. Its tiny footprint can fit anywhere. I don’t swap devices but the 3 Bluetooth device keys are very useful for those who do. Function keys are great as well, I can control my audio and everything else with ease. Trackpad is good, not a huge fan of the button feel, but the tracking and tap gestures are fantastic. Swipe up and down with 2 fingers to scroll and tap with 2 fingers for right click, that makes it more than okay in my book. Keys feel good to type on, good feedback for a membrane keyboard. Just don’t plan on using it in your lap as it will fold. Very happy with this purchase, especially at this low price point.
