![]() ![]() I would definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to others as well. ![]() That’s OK though – it takes up such a small amount of space that even if I think of one blog post (and I’ve written two already this flight) it will have been worth it. It might be that I don’t think of anything to write about, and the thing stays in my cabin bag all week. Microsoft have a history of making good devices, and I use and like their wired keyboards. The MS one feels sturdy and high-quality. Is silly money and the others are either bigger, bulkier, or look cheap. I’ve only used it with iOS devices, so the start button doesn’t work (though the volume keys do).The reason I got this keyboard over the others? The Apple one It was super-easy to pair and connect, and just works. I haven’t had it long enough to say anything about battery life, it’s still on its originals. The keyboard I got (and the one shown in the photo) is the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000. Using the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 on a flight to Turkeyĭepending on whether or not I can think of anything to say, I think it’ll work just as well by the pool. However, the keyboard is (relatively) cheap, is thin and lightweight, and fits on the seat tray alongside the phone: In these circumstances, there’s no way I’d take a laptop or an iPad – I wouldn’t use either to justify the weight, and I’d spend the whole week worrying about their welfare. I’m at 30,000 ft on a flight to Turkey for a family holiday writing this offline to be published when I get back. Therefore, if I’m going out and I think there’s a chance I might get some time to sit and write something, it’s a lot less hassle to take my phone (which I’d be taking anyway) and the keyboard.Ī perfect case in point is right now. It’s just as fast, there’s no lag and the phone screen is more than large enough to see what I’m doing (especially with iWriter). There’s fundamentally zero difference between using the keyboard on a phone and using it on a pad – it docks just the same, and works just the same. It’s on a desk and when I’m there I feel in work mode. That tends to mean that if I know I’m going to sit down and write something long, I’ll go and sit at the computer. It’s WiFi only and still new enough that I wouldn’t consider putting it in my bag and taking it around with me. I think there’s maybe two reasons for this: What’s actually happened is that I’m using both iWriter and the keyboard much more on my phone than on the pad. I also bought iWriter for the same reason. I bought it because I was about to get an iPad, and thought it would be a good complementing accessory. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard about two months ago. ![]()
