iClever Wireless Folding Keyboard with 3-Color Backlight, Tri-Folding Bluetooth Keyboard with Aluminum Alloy Base for iOS Windows Android Tablets, Smartphones, Laptops, PC and More

Really easy to use and functional

Second time I bought this and so useful I bring it with me wherever I go. You never know when you need to connect to a friend's tv system or pull out your phone for some impromptu typing work. Awesome keyboard, just the right size for comfortable typing, backlit keys, usb cable to connect like a normal usb keyboard, and best of all, Function keys at the top! This time around they added that mobile stand which is a nice touch.

Let’s be honest, a portable/foldable Bluetooth keyboard is not a piece of gear that everyone needs in their day to day life but the fact that you are here checking out this product and reading these reviews tells me that you are likely one of those people! So, who needs a device like this? I think the easiest way to explain that is just to tell you why I purchased one, and it is very simply for typing on my iOS devices. When I travel I seldom bring a proper laptop unless it is 100% necessary, so that leaves me with my iPad Pro which I love to travel with. Let’s face it, 99% of the trip I am utilizing my device as a consumption device and it’s only during the actual meetings that I am using the device for creation/presentation purposes. It is because of this that I no longer utilize one of the bulky keyboard case options that I have tried in the past, aka Logitech, Brydge, or Apple’s Smart Keyboard... I just don’t need the keyboard on all the time... might as well use the laptop if that’s the case... So for me I use a slim, yet protective case made by Zugu which keeps my iPad protected and allows me to prop it up to watch movies on my long flights because at that moment I am in 100% consumption mode. Then, if I need to draft some pre-meeting notes on the fight, or finalize a report once I get to my destination, I pull out this awesome foldable keyboard by iClever and *BAM* I am now typing away as effectively as I am on any laptop. “But what about the iOS keyboard?” Yes IOS has an on-screen keyboard... but apart from some brief notes, I HATE the tactile-less experience of typing on a glass screen. Maybe I am old fashioned but there is just something about the feel of the key press that just gives me a better all-around typing experience and that absolutely translates to a better end product for me. So what do I like about this keyboard... Well first of all let’s be clear that iClever has two versions of this keyboard for sale and this is the larger of the two, model number IC-BK05, (IC-BK03 being the smaller). What isn’t there to like?! For me the build quality is top notch. Compact fold is a great feature but if the device is cheaply made then it doesn’t really matter how compact it is if it’s just going to fall apart on you. In my experience typing on this keyboard I have had no indications that this device will fall apart unless it’s due to my own miss-treatment. So build quality and compactness were paramount for me but one thing I did not consider, but I now throughly appreciate, is a solid Bluetooth connection. This thing connects lightning fast on the initial set up and after that it remains paired with the device until you put the keyboard to sleep, which, cleverly enough, is done just by folding the device up... and to turn it on - you guessed it, unfold it! The Bluetooth connection is rock solid and I have yet to drop the signal when utilizing it within a reasonable distance. What is reasonable you might ask... it’s a keyboard folks... most of us will be using this within 6 inches of the device it’s pair to but I also tried pairing this to my home entertainment system and for me it works from the couch, which is about 10’ from the receiver, and that’s without any drop in signal... Haven’t tried it any further because I realistically would never use it any further than that. The tactile feel of the keys is every bit as good as the keyboard on my MacBook Pro, pre-butterfly keys, and I opted for the “larger” version of this device and I am very pleased with my decision. It is every bit as portable as the smaller version yet my hands experience less fatigue because the keyboard is the same size as a laptop keyboard. The backlit keys are really useful and the option to chose between three color, blue, green, and red is a nice extra! While I think the blue looks the coolest, I tend to keep it on the green as it is the brightest of the three colors and I find it the most usable in the conditions were I use the backlit keys. Finally we come to battery life, and yea, it’s pretty darn good! The manufacture claims 10 day battery life if used 8 hours a day and that’s really amazing. First of all you would never type on this for 8 solid hours a day for 10 days straight but those are pretty solid numbers. They claim that this equates to 90 days of normal use and that works for me! Standby time comes in at a comically good 218 days and, on yea, it charges in 2-3 hours! I have not actually timed how long the batter lasts but if it is even close to what they claim then we will be just fine. I will obviously update this review if I find the battery claims to be significantly off. All in all I am VERY pleased with this purchase and I offer my FULL recommendations to those who are considering a device such as this. This will be my new “go-to” configuration until further notice!

Extrem nützliches Produkt mit einem kompakten und eleganten Design. Es kommt mit einer nützlichen Tragetasche und USB-Kabel. Ich habe mit Macbook Pro über Bluetooth und das Kabel verbunden. Ich habe es auch mit meinem Android verbunden. In allen Fällen funktioniert es absolut gut, was es zu einem sehr nützlichen Produkt macht. Ein bisschen teuer, aber ich werde es wegen seines Designs empfehlen.

Ce clavier est tout simplement génial. Tous les détails ont étés pensés. Bon, le mien est en qwerty mais ça ne me dérange pas (je sais où sont les touches dont j'ai besoin et je tape vite). Il y a aussi à dispo chez le vendeur la même version en azerty, donc seulement bien faire attention.

So far, I am very happy with the keyboard - the build quality is solid, it connects and functions over Bluetooth very well with my Huawei Android device - once paired, it creates a connection as soon as I open the keyboard up so there is no faffing about trying to get it connected. It also works perfectly well over USB to my MacBook (when working from home, my MacBook lid is shut as I use an external mouse/keyboard, and external monitors - the iClever keyboard is particularly handy during conference calls as it is near silent compared to my rather 'clacky' Logitech keyboard!). There is no mobile stand with this keyboard, so I recommend buying a cheap, folding stand as a companion (I bought these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0794SV8L7/ and they do the job at a sensible price). The keyboard comes supplied with a soft, faux velvet storage pouch (it's rather well made too) and there is plenty of room in the pouch to store a folding stand along with the keyboard - sorted! Other reviewers complained that the backlight is, by default, off when opening the keyboard, making life difficult when trying to use it in a darkened environment. This is now changed - every time I open my keyboard, the backlight is on by default. Personally, I'd prefer it to remember the previous state, so that the keyboard will start with the backlight in whatever state it was when the keyboard was last used (I almost always have to turn the backlight off, so it's a (minor) inconvenience). The key action is comfortable and very quiet (the LED backlight is really cool, though I wish it didn't hit the battery life quite so hard...). I'm using the keyboard as I type this review... One minor criticism; under Android, the "Esc" key currently acts like a "Home" button (indeed, it has a 'Home' icon on it!), taking me back to the phone's home screen. Personally, I think this function is not ideal. In my opinion, the "Esc" key (under Android) should perform the function of the "Back" button - this is a significant distinction. Some apps require the "Esc" key function. For example, many terminal emulator applications (e.g. JuiceSSH) make use of the "Esc" key on a hardware keyboard, but on the iClever keyboard, this exits the app and goes back to the Home screen - not useful... I have, however, discovered that I can work around this issue by using the "Win+Backspace" combination to simulate the correct "Esc" key function... One other point, when the back light is turned on, the is an extremely subtle 'buzzing' noise coming from the backlight LEDs. So far, it's not been loud enough to be annoying (you really need to be in a very quiet environment to notice it at all), but it is there, nonetheless. Clearly not a big enough issue for me to award less than five stars, though! All in all, I'm very happy with the keyboard. I travel a lot on business, so I'm constantly in and out of airports. Using the keyboard makes life far easier for keeping in touch with the office - quicker and more convenient than getting out the laptop, and then having to tether it in order to send emails, etc. Having used the keyboard for a few months now, I can happily recommend it.

Este producto es de buena calidad, sumamente práctico y cómodo con las dimensiones adecuadas a un teclado normal.
