## Description

Review: Ideal replacement keyboard - So, I should start off with saying that a couple of keys on my laptop failed; hense the reason I bought this product. So, first off, it comes in a nice looking box. It comes in plenty of packaging so the chances of it being damaged has been minimised. A nice little note from the developer of the keyboard as well. First impressions is that it's lightweight. I mean really light. I can balance it on my index finger for way over 30 secs without any issues. The hinges on opening it up are also well built. A lot of thought has gone into it. The mechanism that opens up the keyboard looks like it's been designed to help with any impact they might happen (dropping it for example). They also have been designed to that you can't easily force the hinge too far the wrong way. However, it does look like that if you got some foreign material into the hinge (dust, fluff, etc.),it would be making opening the keyboard hard. If that happens, then it won't work at all. There doesn't seem any way to take it apart to clean it. This is mainly aimed at people that want to repair instead of replacing goods. As it's a mechanical hinge, you do get a nice clicking sound when it opens. It's also missing feet at the back so you can't have a slightly raised keyboard like you could with a normal keyboard. You'll have to rest it on a small A4 pad or book to be able to adjust it. Upon opening it, its a full sized keyboard. None of this fiddly smaller keys where mistakes can be made while typing. It also doesn't turn on until both sizes are open; that's a nice design incase you accidentally have one side open so it won't waste any power. I can understand in trying to keep it small but looking at it, I think I would of preffered having a slighter taller keyboard with their individual F keys at the top. You have to press the Fn key before the button associated with the F key. Connecting to another 3 devices is also nice feature. I've tried it and you can swap between the 3 devices by pressing the associated orange button and you can carry on typing with no issues. The battery lasts for a long time once it's charged. I've been gaming with it for several hours a day, averaging 1.5hrs over the past month without it being charged. That saves another cable that I would have to carry with me. While I remember, it's a USB-C charger so it can be charged using your phone cable if needed. The only major downside is that... I can't really think or see of one! Overall, it's a nice portable keyboard that will meet your needs. I believe that you get a good value for money that also provides a stable connection. It's compatible with Android devices (tablets, phones) and win11. I don't own an apple device so I could check.
Review: Fantastic Portable Full Sized Folding Keyboard - For those who travel and require a portable office or full sized keyboard away from the office, the ProtoArc XK01 should be at the top of the essentials list. As someone who regularly works on the move, I’ve been through a few Bluetooth keyboards over the years and the ProtoArc XK01 is miles ahead of the competition for comfort and ease of use. To begin with, it is a no compromise, full sized (including the number pad on the right) keyboard with scissor switch keys for satisfying feedback whilst typing. The sound produced by each key press is not silent but certainly softer than a traditional keyboard which is an added bonus for those who work in public spaces. The trifold is a fantastic feature and unlike many other folding keyboards, the ProtoArc XK01 does not hinder or change the layout of the keyboard at all. Many of the other folding keyboards on the market split, reshape or move keys changing the layout of the keyboard. For those who type at speed, this keyboard will not slow you down at all. When the keyboard is closed, it will automatically disconnect and turn off. When opened it will automatically connect to the last connected device. This feature is excellent as you can get straight into your work without having to play around with connectivity. To pair the device, simply press one of the three Bluetooth buttons for three seconds to enter pairing mode, then search for the device using your Windows OS, Android OS, iOS or Mac OS. Once connected, the device will be paired to that device with the button you chose until you decide to pair it with another item. The ProtoArc XK01 can pair with three devices at a time and switch between them with the touch of a button. Once the keyboard is folded closed, the sides of the hinges can be pressed in to lock the keyboard closed, this is a nice feature to stop the keyboard opening up during transit or whilst it is in your bag. Admittedly, this feature is great but takes a little attention as the top and bottom of the hinges need to be pushed evenly or the lock does not work. Although this is a criticism, it does not merit the loss of a star. The Battery on the keyboard is great. At 210mAh, the ProtoArc XK01 has 150 hours of standby time from only two hours of charge time. This should be enough to use the keyboard for days with hours of use each day. Should the battery run out, the ProtoArc XK01 can be charged whilst in use. Furthermore, the type-C port is located at the top of the keyboard so the wire will not get in your way whilst you work and the set up will feel extremely natural. Inside the Box you will get the ProtoArc XK01 keyboard, user manual and tyce-C charging cable. The size of the ProtoArc XK01 when folded closed is 21cm x 12cm and has a depth of 1.5cm. It is extremely compact and weighs 297g making it ideal for transport. The keyboard will go into sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity whilst open and will reactivate after the press of any key. The wake-up after sleep takes around 3 seconds. Final Thought The price may seem a little steep at £49 when compared to some of the other folding keyboards on the market but there is no compromise with the keys and size. This time, you really do get what you pay for. As a full sized extremely portable foldable keyboard with great battery, I highly recommend the ProtoArc XK01 for anyone who travels or needs a full-sized keyboard away from the desk from time to time, and to be fair, I’d even recommend it for use in the office, in fact, I am sat at my desk writing this review with the ProtoArc XK01 and it has been an extremely seamless process. I have no regrets with this purchase and hope to use the ProtoArc XK01 for years to come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really close to 5 stars; well worth considering
*by T***. on 31 August 2023*

So this just arrived today and so of course I had to take it for a spin. I have more than a few portable keyboards, but only one that folds, and that one turned out to be a disappointment, so I was really looking forward to trying a full-size folder where all the keys are full sized. There are just a few nits (that may just be my preferences) that keep me from giving it 5 stars, but I have to say that overall I quite like this keyboard. I have some sympathy for the reviews that mentioned the keyboard not being angled at all-- I found myself happier if I slid magazine or something under the top edge to give it a low angle. But the keyboard is still quite usable flat on the desktop. One thing that really is improved by a slight angle is that there is a raised edge just below the space bar. This edge runs along the entire bottom of the keyboard, but is lower around the spacebar than on either side of it. When the keyboard is flat on the desk even this low edge can be noticed, but with a slight angle I no longer notice it. It occasionally results in a missed space while typing, so you may want to do something to give a slight angle as I found that made missing the space a lot harder. The keys are generally firmer than most of my other portable keyboards; they need a good press, and I have to wonder if that will result in fatigue eventually. In the short term, I find this property is actually helping with my typing accuracy, and again is improved if I give the keyboard a slight angle. There are dedicated keys for screenshots, OS settings, and lockscreen, which I find to be nice touches, but I have to say I've mashed the screenshot button accidentally a few times already when reaching for the backspace key. The screenshot function can be deactivated with esc, so it isn't a big deal, but it has happened twice so far. Hopefully it won't become a nuisance. I'm finding that I'm wishing for a wider left shift key. They do have a 3/4 sized keycap for the #~ key, and I kind of wish that were also the same for the \| key, which would allow the left shift to be a bit wider. I'm finding myself hitting that key sometimes when I want the shift, and that's a small irritation. But those complaints are overshadowed by the fact that all the rest of the keys are full size, and there is no interfering ridge around the seam where the keyboard folds. It's a worthwhile trade in my book for these small flaws (that could be found on some regular UK keyboards) for one that's portable. Connecting was simple and followed the instructions accurately. You almost don't need the manual, as it follows a common short press/long press semantic that lots of other devices do. Finally, folding/unfolding: the keyboard folds nicely into a reasonable protected package, but it might be nice to have an aluminum bodied option if you carry bag isn't the most friendly to devices. I'm not saying it's fragile, but you don't get an excessive sense of sturdiness, and the case can flex a bit when closed, so I do hope that life in my bag isn't too rough. The magnets that hold the keyboard closed are strong enough that accidental opening isn't likely in most situations, which should protect both the keys and keep power from coming on when it isn't needed. When opened, you should expect to place this on a solid surface: as others have mentioned, it doesn't work well laps. But overall I'm quite happy with this keyboard as it seems to provide one of the best portable options I've come across. It's not without its faults, but many can be overcome with bit of elevation. If I was to ask for changes, I'd want a wider left shift, swapping the screenshot and delete keys, a bit of a tilt to avoid missing the spacebar (or a lower edge along the space bar), an option for a more rugged body, and red backlights for the keys. But none of these will be keeping from making this my primary portable keyboard.
