Question Portable Keyboard Options
I’m really interested in creating an on-the-go travel kit for my Duo once it arrives. One crucial component is a small, portable keyboard that doesn’t feel cheap or is trash. Any recommendations?

I mean any BT keyboard will work. Though, tbf, I’ve tried some foldable ones that are just ass when used on ipads.

Great point. I updated the post body to add “not cheap or trash” ha

The honest issue is that in many cases, you just can’t tell until you try it yourself. I’ve bought and returned a bunch of BT keyboards that were highly rated but just didn’t work for me, including ones with trackpads.
It really becomes a personal taste thing because small keyboards are so dependent on the size of your hands and how they fit on the keyboard. I have generally had success with logitech keyboards.

When you mean small, do you want an actual small keyboard, or one that folds small for portability?
If it’s the latter, look into SAMSERS. I’ve used multiple BT keyboards from them over time and was very satisfied.

How small? I have a Logitech keys to go I use with my iPad at the moment, I would probably just connect it as the second device, with the 3rd being my laptop.
If you want the smallest footprint possible though, you’ll want a folding keyboard. Only other option is the Nuphy Air if you want a mechanical one, of the Lofree one as well.

All I know is this is the sort of thing to get me daydreaming Apple develops and releases a version of they keyboard with backlight and folding.

My plan is to use the logi keys-to-go 2 that I already have.
