Ms Folding Keyboard

Hi there

This looks a winner - around 6o GBP / 100 USD to be released in July -- will handle more than ONE device simultaneously.

Not a new concept, as I've seen a number of other folding keyboards, at significantly less cost. However, this one does seem to be very high quality... very thin, water resistant, and well designed... Most of the other ones I've seen have been kind of clunky.

Buy it. Wireless Keyboards, Bluetooth Keyboards More | Microsoft Hardware

I will next time I am down in the flatlands. . .I know I could get it off Amazon, albeit I want to play/test it out first.

The folding feature is useless for me. I never had to lug around a keyboard.

Simultaneous connectivity GOOD! Bluetooth connectivity... BAD.



That's 2 to 1.



I'll pass on this one.

Why is BT connectivity bad? Pretty much all phones and tablets have BT built-in, many laptops have it as well.

So you only use your phones and tablets when you're sitting at a desk with a physical keyboard?

I am not saying BT is bad in general. It's a bad idea for keyboards.
I've had BT keyboard once. Lag is the main problem. And if you have other bluetooth devices, interference is an issue. If that bluetooth is aimed also at ipad and android tablets, it's really not for me. If I need a keyboard on the move, I'll bring my laptop.



Why do you need a keyboard on phone and tablets? BT is good for music because you don't really notice the lag unless you are watching a music video.
