    The keyboard just sits in my backpack, so I have it if I want to type more than a few sentences on my phone, which usually means I didn’t bring my laptop (an old chonker). A smaller laptop would be better tbh, but my old one broke and I haven’t replaced it. Yeah seeing the phone screen while typing isn’t so easy, but I’m a touch typist, so I type first and then look. Battery not too much of a problem tbh. I just charge it up once in a while. I had one previously that used AAA cells (preferable) but I misplaced it.

    It’s not perfect but it beats the phone keyboard and I would say beats a Blackberry-style keyboard. I never used a real Blackberry but I had a Nokia E63 for a while, and it was the same idea. It was better than a screen keyboard but still a severe compromise. You can currently get something like that from M5Stack.

    The tiny BT keyboard with horrible keybounce that I had for a while looked like this:

    I like to think the linked one might be better, but I haven’t tried it.
