![]() ![]() ![]() Mini Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad/iPhone/Smartphones/PS3 Its Bluetooth capability works with other mobile phones, but it really shines with Apple devices, with its full set of keyboard shortcuts that worked well with my iPhone.Īlthough this keyboard is slightly larger than some other portable keyboards, I think it's a solid piece of kit for those who need portability and would rather type on physical keys than an on-screen keyboard. Still, you'll have to make slight compromises for this portability. It's also strange to have two small space bars, but I got used to it quickly. ![]() Touch typists might not like the varied size of the keys, where, for example, the "G" key is slightly smaller, while on the other hand, the "V" key is larger. The keyboard's typing action is like most laptop keyboards - rather shallow, but still usable. This proved to be a handy feature indeed. You can start/pause, skip to the next or previous track, and control volume from the bank of buttons along the left side. ![]() But this Verbatim model goes one step further with a feature that differentiates it from all others: its transport controls let you tend to your music on iPod, iPad or iPhone. Looking at the keyboard, it reminds me of the old favorite Palm 3245WW folding Bluetooth keyboard that some people still like so much they're willing to pay upwards of $200 for it. Moving the phone to the horizontal position, it stayed put, and made more sense for typing documents, anyway. The iPhone was too top-heavy for that, and constantly slipped off its perch. Sliding out the built-in stand for the iPhone (the stand's too small for an iPad), I first tried propping the phone onto it in a vertical position. Locking the keyboard into a flat position with a sliding tab, soon it was paired up with my iPhone 4 without incident. I took this little Verbatim Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard out of its swanky leather case, and with the push of a button, it opened with a satisfying click. How well does it work, and what must be sacrificed for this amount of portability? Here's a foldable portable keyboard from Verbatim that's specifically designed for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. ![]()
