If you are one of those people who travel a lot, a folding Bluetooth keyboard can be a valuable tool for you. Folding keyboards are often lightweight and easy to carry. This feature makes them an ideal accessory for people who need to type while traveling or on the go. In addition, these keyboards can be used with smartphones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, and, in general, any device with Bluetooth.

However, not all folding Bluetooth keyboards are created equal. So, if you intend to buy one of them, try to choose a durable and comfortable model like the keyboards we will introduce below.

1- keyboard obVus minder

The keys on the obVus minder keyboard are accessible, which is no small feat for this thin, foldable keyboard that measures 13.5 x 4.2 inches when open and 4.2 x 7.2 inches when folded! The integrated trackpad of this keyboard works well with all devices and even supports motion controls. The main advantage of this folding Bluetooth keyboard is its battery, which can last up to 40 hours of continuous use or 90 days in standby mode. This means you can travel anywhere without worrying about running out of battery.

Advantages

• It has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 40 hours.
• It has an integrated touchpad that has motion controls.
• Compatibility with Windows, Android, macOS, iOS
• It can be connected to up to 3 Bluetooth devices.

Disadvantages

• There is no locking mechanism when folding

2- iClever BK05 keyboard

Anyone who has had the experience of being in a dark airplane cabin knows what a blessing the backlight of the keyboard keys is. Fortunately, iClever BK05 can adjust the backlight brightness and switch between red, green, and blue lights. This keyboard has a durable aluminum body that measures 10.9 x 4.7 inches when open and 6.5 x 4.7 inches when folded.

Advantages

• The keys are backlit in three colors.
• The body of the keyboard is made of the same aluminum that is used in the construction of airplanes.

Disadvantages

• It does not have a touch screen or a dialer.
• The backlight of the keys drains the battery.

3-MoKo Foldable keyboard

The MoKo folding Bluetooth keyboard measures 12.9 x 4 x 0.23 inches (unfolded), which becomes 6.2 x 4 x 0.5 inches when folded. However, what sets this keyboard apart is its unique design, made exclusively for fans of ergonomic keyboards. A standard rectangular screen is created by folding this keyboard, similar to other keyboards. The keys are placed obliquely and at an angle of 166 degrees by opening the keyboard. This type of arrangement of the keys will make your hands slightly angled, which will help reduce the pressure on the wrists and fingers. This type of ergonomics increases users’ efficiency without making them feel tired.

Advantages

• The ergonomic design of this keyboard causes less pressure on the wrists.
• Thanks to a magnetic clip, the keyboard is kept folded.

Disadvantages

• The body is made of plastic.
• It does not have a trackpad or a dial pad.

4-Samsers Ergonomic Folding Keyboard

Samser ergonomic folding keyboard uses the same MoKo design. Sanders has dimensions of 3.85 x 6.44 inches when folded and 3.85 x 12.94 inches when unfolded. In this model, the keys are located at an angle of 166 degrees to each other, which helps to reduce the pressure on the wrists. This keyboard is different because it uses Bluetooth 5.1 technology, while most keyboards on this list have Bluetooth 3.0. This technology allows for faster communication between devices and less energy consumption.

Advantages

• They are ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue.
• It has Bluetooth 5.1.
• It has dedicated keys for macOS and iOS functions.

Disadvantages

• It takes some time to get used to the space key being two pieces.
• It is charged via MicroUSB.

5-Achort Foldable keyboard

The Achort folding keyboard isn’t particularly fancy, but it does what it needs to do. This keyboard, which folds into three, is 3.8 x 11.89 inches open and 3.8 x 5.98 inches when closed. Moreover, it is compatible with all devices, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. The keyboard is relatively simple and has a good trackpad. The exciting thing about this keyboard is that some keys around the hinges are significantly smaller than the others. So, getting used to this misalignment of keys while typing may take some time.

Advantages

• It is affordable.
• It has an integrated trackpad.

Disadvantages

• It is entirely made of plastic (of course, the hinge is metal).
• It is charged via micro USB.
• Some keys are smaller than others.

6-Geyes Portable Travel Keyboard

Unlike the others on this list, the Geyes Travel and Portable Keyboard has a unique design. Instead of being folded horizontally, it is folded vertically. When folded, this keyboard looks like a pen holder, and its dimensions are 0.71 x 2.13 x 8.78 inches. The downside to this product is that it is tiny when you open it up. The smallness of the keyboard can make typing a challenge, especially if you have large hands.

Advantages

• When folded, it is highly compact and small.
• It has an integrated base for placing a mobile phone.

Disadvantages

• Its minor keys cause problems for people with big fingers.
• It’s primarily designed for cell phones, so larger devices like tablets may not fit on the stand.

While the ProtoArc XK01 isn’t as small as other keyboards, it measures 4.68 x 15.19 inches when unfolded and 4.68 x 8.46 inches when folded. This keyboard has a standard size, so the size and location of the keys will be familiar to you, and you don’t need to get used to something new. Although the ProtoArc XK01 is a little more expensive than other keyboards, it’s worth it for its standard size and USB Type-C.

Advantages

• It has a standard size, and the number of keys is 105.
• It has a dialer.
• It uses USB-C charging.
• Its body is made of aluminum.

Disadvantages

8- Keyboard Arteck HB030B

Arteck HB030B is not considered among folding keyboards, but it is worth introducing because of its compactness. This product is one of the most portable and affordable Bluetooth keyboards available. Arteck HB030B is compatible with most devices, and its keys are backlit. This is one of the thinnest keyboards you can get.
