“The Mini Bluetooth Keyboard is an excellent piece of kit. A nice convenient size to keep with you and carry in your pocket or put in your backpack. The keys are just the right size for me, and I have slightly larger hands. In fact, I've used it to write this review. Pairing the Keyboard with either a tablet or phone is really easy, even without instructions, it's pretty much straight forward.
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to have a more comfortable way to be productive on there device.”
“In a word, the Bluetooth keyboard I would describe as "shonky". My initial impression was that this £12 item wasn't worth even that, it feels unbelievably light and flimsy. It refused to maintain pairing with my phone. Initiating the return was straightforward, but it was suggested that my phone etc. could be at fault, which is common in IT Support - in my experience.”
“Very quick dispatch by Pi Hut. Also one of the few places that had exactly what I wanted - a bluetooth mini-keyboard (not one that needed a USB-dongle).
I got this keyboard to use with a phone - it is very light so will not add significantly to other things you carry all the time (phone, keys).
I will stick a velcro-strip to the back of it and my phone so I can put them into my pocket together.
It has a good set of additional key-options (cursor-arrows, Alt, Cmd, Ctrl, PgUp/PgDn, Home/End - and allows combinations such as Fn-Cmd-LeftArrow to skip words).
The keys provide a 'feelable' movement when pressed so avoiding the accidental-typing of a mistaken-touch on a virtual screen.
Unlike many other mini-keyboards, it uses Bluetooth (most others seem to use Wifi 2.4 GHz which needs a USB-receiver in the device a keyboard connects to).
I prefer a physical keyboard to losing 30%-70% of my phone screen to a virtual keyboard (portrait/landscape).
This is a good solution and far, far cheaper (x100) than £1500 for a Samsung Fold or Microsoft Duo to offset the screen-space taken by a virtual keyboard. ;-)”

“Had to return as the build quality was poor. On/off slide switch was recessed so far it was not possible to operate with a finger nail. General operation and feel was poor. Not one of the best products from PiHut :(”
“Easy to set up with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+.Keys are small but big enough to use without problems.Wish my smartphone keyboard was that good! Hmm...now that my mini-pi Chromebook is almost done, maybe I'll make a Rasbpi smartphone!”
