[Electronics-Talk] recommendation of wireless keyboard to travel with and pair with laptops

Wed Dec 20 13:20:12 UTC 2023

Someone told me, if you leave off the M in the model number, or whatever
that is, then you find just the keyboard with no mouse.  Thus, ProtoArc
XKM01 might be ProtoArc XK01.
Just in case you don't really want a mouse.

Hi Ashley,
I've been looking for the very same thing, and found the following which I
am planning to order soon but do not have yet. It is foldable and can
connect directly through Bluetooth as well as wirelessly through a dongle
which is very attractive to me. For some reason I don't have the link, but
if you paste the below into Amazon ou will get the product info.

Rechargeable, Full-Size Portable Keyboard for Laptop iPad Tablet :

Hi,
I have a keyboard like that, a wireless keyboard which pairs To the computer
by sticking the dongle into the USB port on the computer.
It also has an on / off switch and takes batteries.

But, its big. I'm seeking a more portable keyboard so I can fold it up to
travel with so it takes less space.

I've heard there are more compact size keyboards out there.

I like the Logitech keyboard I have now; it has all the keys including the
numeric keypad and Insert key I use for Jaws commands.
This keyboard is great for staying at home since I can move it and the
laptop around easily.

But its hard to travel with. It will not fit in most backpacks, nor will it
fit in my laptop bag I bought.

Maybe Logitech has another model conducive to travel, one that folds
perhaps.

Tracy, thanks for sharing your good experience with Logitech models.

Ashley

My husband and I both have Logitech keyboards, and like them very much.
There's a little dongle that sticks into a USB port on the computer, and it
pairs effortlessly with the keyboard.  The keyboard has all the keys,
including the insert key for Jaws, and and on/off switch, so you can turn it
off when you're not using it without turning off the computer.  The keyboard
takes 2 batteries, AA, I think, though they might be AAA.
If I can scare up a link on Amazon, I'll send it.

Hi all,

I have a HP laptop here as well as my desktop. The desktop stays home and
the laptop and other mobile devices I travel with.

Because I like the spacing and the numeric keypad on the full size
keyboards, I currently have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, full
size.

I grew up with that and that is what I like so I can use the spacing as
landmarks so I know where I am. That

Is why I do not like the built in laptop keyboards and layout.

Can any one recommend a travel size, preferably lightweight, wireless
keyboard for travel? The problem I have is my current set up does not allow
me to travel well with it due to the fact the keyboard is so large.

Is there perhaps a foldable keyboard which is full size out there that
connects via USB dongle?

If its not full size, is there a keyboard with adequate spacing to use so I
can feel the difference between the querty side of the keyboard and the
numeric keypad?

I'd like one that is also quiet preferabily.

Thanks,

Ashley
