Best mini I've owned
I'm kind of a keyboard nut. Not obsessively but I love trying different styles. So far this is beyond the best in terms of responsiveness and quality of use. It's super small, but not wafer thin so you don't feel like it's going to snap in half. Connects immediately and flawlessly every time. Functions like a normal keyboard... If you want shift you have to hold it down. I like that, some might not because it's a two-handed function normally. There's an easy button for backlighting, which is a huge bonus to me. Function lights so you know what's happening and when to charge it. Snap buttons provide good feedback so you know when you've hit a key but not so sensitive that you accidently hit more than you need. Truly a work of the K.I.S.S. ideology - keep it simple, stupid. Works every time.

Awesome little keyboard!
I bought this keyboard to use with my new phone. I detest touchscreens and refuse to type on them. So when I couldn't use my Blackberry anymore, I had to figure out an alternative. The layout takes a little getting used to, and pairing requires you to push a very tiny button on the underside of the keyboard. But you only have to do it once... at least on an android. It pairs very quickly everytime it's turned on. It has a sleep feature that kicks in if you don't touch any keys for a few minutes. I have had this keyboard for almost two weeks, and other than the initial charge i gave it when I unboxed it. I haven't had to charge it again yet. I have a zipper pocket on my Moto G5 case, and this keyboard fits right inside it. If I have one complaint, it would be that I can't dial phone numbers with it. I haven't figured out why. So I have to use the touchscreen for that. Other than that little oddity, I love this keyboard. I'm considering buying another to have as backup. And why not? The price isn't bad for such a handy little gadget. ***UPDATE*** I have had this keyboard now for over a year. I have absolutely no complaints about it. I have since upgraded to a Google Pixel 8A, and it works just as well with that as it did with my Motorola. I get about a whopping two months out of one charge! Again, I do have to emphasize that I never use the backlit feature. There hasn't been any decline in battery life, performance, or anything else about this little keyboard. Seriously... if you want a qwerty option for your phone, tablet, or whatever you happen to be using, I can't say it enough. BUY THIS KEYBOARD!

Great for Raspberry PI
Great for my raspberry pi 4b. Feels like an old school phone keyboard. Placement of number keys is a little awkward, but that's not really a show stopper. Great to throw in a bag for an emergency keyboard. Does require Bluetooth, no USB dongle attachment, so ensure you're tracking that.

Small and Light, But Needs To Be Less Slippery
It’s perfect for hand held use! The backlight is just right, not too bright. Keys click positively and all the Functions keys are there too. Keys are a little small for big adult fingers, but worth the small size. Very Blackberry feeling. The manual says it only supports up to Windows XP but just for your information it works perfectly on Windows 11. But it is small. Small and very light. And it doesn’t stay in one place at all. Every key click moves it. The bottom slides on every surface. I could put some kind of rubber backing on it, but really it’s not meant for use on any surface. If I were getting it to always hold in my hand, it would be a keeper! But as soon as I put it down, it’s skittering everywhere. So II’m going to return it reluctantly. Only one flaw, but it’s a dealbreaker for me. YMMV.

Tiny, Sturdy, and Inexpensive!
This is (almost) exactly what I what I was looking for! I have a couple minor complaints (mainly about the placement of the keys—the fact that they're a square grid instead of being slightly offset like a normal keyboard is very confusing for my fingers) but overall I'm impressed! The keyboard is the perfect size to use your thumbs to type like on an actual phone, AND it's sturdy enough to hold up to such use. (All I wanted was physical keys. I miss my non-smart phone) The fact that this is one of the cheapest mini-keyboards I could find is mind-boggling. If this brand made another keyboard just like this but with keys that are actually laid out normally, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Also, some things to note: - the keyboard works with ios no problem - the shift key must be held down (like on a computer keyboard) to be used. - Same with the FN key - most keyboard shortcuts (like copy/pasting) work - alt tab (to change apps) does NOT work, at least not on ios - the arrow keys, while useful, are laid out in a VERY weird, unintuitive way. I'm grateful they're there at all but goodness the down and left arrows need to be switched - the backlight automatically turns off after the keyboard has not been used for a bit. It turns back on when you hit a key.

Great little keyboard
I love this keyboard for my mobile projects. It works flawlessly so far with Pi zero's finicky BT. Its also small enough to thumb type comfortably but buttons are large enough to see. I just wish it came in usb or 2.4ghz versions.

I will buy again
I’m using this for like This mini Bluetooth keyboard has been perfect for my setup. My computer sits about eight feet away, and I didn’t want a full-size keyboard for such minimal use. I mainly game and already use a Razer gamepad and a Razer Naga mouse, so I only need a keyboard for simple things like logging in with my password. It turns on, auto-connects quickly, and works exactly how I need it to. It’s convenient, reliable, and honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made for my new gaming setup.

It Functions
I would love to get a Cosmo Communicator or a FxTec Pro but I'll be honest, their specs aren't that much better than my 6 year old phone. Now onto this thing. It turns on. The keys work. The bluetooth connection is good. The battery is fine. The keys are mushy but tactile and still light-years better than a touchscreen keyboard. Unfortunately, all this good is negated by the awful backspace key, which gets stuck under the bezel of the case if you happen to press up on the key wrong, potentially wiping an entire line of text as you try to un-stick it. I desperately want this to work, so I sprayed some heavy duty lubricant in there above the backspace key. It somewhat helped, but it still gets stuck. Edit: I got fed up and took a craft knife to the bezel around the key. It's ugly but the backspace no longer sticks. Other hang-ups include the lack of dedicated period or comma keys. Like what the? These are the most common punctuation symbols in the English language. You're gonna make me press and hold FN for them??? At least forward slash has a dedicated key. (Lmao.) It would've been fine if this keyboard was just a centimeter longer, if they were that needing for space. It's worth mentioning that this thing has backlit keys. You can also charge it and use it at the same time. You can't connect to it without using bluetooth, the mini usb port is for charging only (I tried using its cord and a micro usb to usb hub for connecting it to my phone and it didn't detect it). If you're not picky and you can live with these issues, get it. In the meantime, I'm going to contemplate a Cosmo.

Teclado exclusivamente por Bluetooth
Es un buen teclado si lo que buscas es usarlo exclusivamente por Bluetooth. Sin embargo, es importante considerar que el puerto USB-C solo funciona para alimentación eléctrica y no para transmisión de datos, por lo que el teclado no es detectado como periférico al conectarlo por cable. Es una lástima porque el tamaño es ideal para lo que yo buscaba, especialmente en situaciones donde necesito usar el teclado antes de entrar al sistema operativo.
