Is the experience of using the Razer keyboard a loud experience compared to say the experience on old macbook?
Is there any way to remove the keys, without violating warranties? On traditional mechanical keyboards, it’s rather easy to remove the keycaps? The thing is, I type with a dvorak configuration from a hand injury, so I need to swap keys.
Isnt’ the zagg slimbook, one of those foldable mini keyboards? Why should it weigh a ton? Unless I’m mistaking the product you are referring to.
No, the Razer keyboard isn’t particularly loud. Bit of a clickety click, but not deafening. Wouldn’t say it was much, if any louder than a Macbook. A different sort of sound.
No idea whether taking the keys off invalidates the warranty. At a guess, I say probably. There’s nothing in the documentation about converting to Dvorak. Maybe you could contact Razer from their web site?
The Zagg doesn’t fold. The keyboard itself is one solid piece, plus a plastic back case for Ipad and it’s very heavy. Over 2 lb when attached to Ipad.
I think I read somewhere that it can be paired with other iPads etc. It’s Bluetooth, so doesn’t rely on the Smart connector and can be used ‘unattached’ to the case that fits on the back of the iPad Pro. I must say, the kickstand is a useful feature of the Razer case.
I too used to use my old apple wireless keyboard, in its Incase Origami keyboard case/stand, with my iPad Pro. It’s my regular Mac keyboard when I have it hooked up to my display. But I switched to the Logitech keys to go because it was much thinner, quieter, cheap ($14), and unlike the Apple board, didn’t cause the emoji screen to pop up when I hit the FN key. On the other hand, the FN key on the KTG will sometimes cause a freeze, so I have to switch out of whatever app I’m using and back. So, no forward deleting for me! update A software update fixed this forward delete problem a few days later. Happily using the KTG for a year now with first the iPad Mini 2 and lately the iPad Pro 9.7.
I have the same problem. I bought a nice, little, lightweight, foldable keyboard from “supremery”, that has the same idiotic layout: the shift key is far to the right, behind the arrow keys. There is a huge minus-key that looks just like it’s made for shift. It’s impossible to type tenfingered on that keyboard, so I’ll return it.
Does anybody know a foldable keyboard where you can type on?
Be aware as you read the reviews, as is typical for Amazon, they lumped the reviews for a few different products together. You want to be sure you are reading the ones for the latest keyboard, as earlier models had flaws (like the shift key being in the wrong place). Also, there is a keyboard specifically for iPad/iPhone (white one), and a different one for Windows (black one I think).
This excellent review discusses one customer’s experience with a few of the Perixx models, including the latest one:
Not foldable but still extremely portable (I’ve put it in a jacket inside pocket): techcrunch.com/2014/11/14/logit … long-term/.
There’s a new red one available for $24 on Amazon US right now , and a black refurb there for $22.
ok, then. There are sets of Dvorak key cap stickers as well. Search for “Dvorak keyboard” on Amazon and you’ll find them priced at $4.99 USD. I have no idea how the feel is, nor yet how well they would fit your Belkin but it’s not a huge investment and wouldn’t permanently change your keyboard.
Thanks for your hints. I think most of those “portable” keyboards have a smaller key size which is not as bad as hiding the shift-key but still hard for me to type on fluently. I found out now that the one I had also has a larger model with normal key-size and normal order. Of course it is larger, but it can still be folded and seems to be a good compromise. I ordered it and hope I will be better off with this one:
Aaah, luckily I wrote this post which made have second look on my order. Of course I need german layout (qwertz) and this one is qwerty. Puh, just deleted it. So I´ll look on.
How small are the keys on that fabric covered Logitech keyboard, compared to a normal keyboard?
Thanks! That was a very technical answer but I think it sounds like “not too small”. I already own an iPad keyboard from Anker that I don’t like typing on at all. I always related that too its size but when I consider that I don’t feel too bad on the on-screen keyboard it is probably more the overall ergonomy than the size. The Logitech to-go looks really great to me, as long as it is not too small to type on fluently. I want it to be slim, lightweight, simple to use, to be tossed in my bag and on dirty coffeehouse tables . All that seems to be the case with the Logitech.
I deleted the other order and ordered the Logitech, hoping this one will fit and Amazon doesn’t think I’m crazy.
