10-Inch Universal Bluetooth Keyboard

The Fintie 10 inch ultrathin keyboard is the best Bluetooth keyboard on the market right now. Having bought a half-dozen Bluetooth keyboards over the years, I can say with some confidence that this is the right brand and the right size for most people's needs. Super-thin, super-light, and with a great tactile feel, it will turn your smartphone or tablet into a very capable ultra portable laptop that can go everywhere and be whipped out at a moment's notice.Despite being extremely thin, this keyboard has just the right feel. The body of the keyboard is machined from rigid aluminum, meaning the keyboard has a solid feel while you're typing. The keys have enough travel and enough positive "click" that touch-typists should be able to maintain 95% of their typical typing speed. Though the keyboard is compact, it doesn't seem cramped at all, even though I am a big guy (6'4"/193cm) with big hands.Having tried a bunch of different portable keyboard types and formats (folding in thirds, folding in fourths, flat with a built-in cover) , I prefer the extreme simplicity of Fintie's format. You take it out, you turn it on, and you start typing: no fiddling with clasps or mechanisms. The setup is instantaneous. In my experience, the keyboard you can use quickly is the keyboard that gets used. Fintie has taken the right approach here, at the cost of some durability (see "suggested improvements," below).The keyboard charges via standard micro USB and seems to hold a charge for at least a couple of weeks. I've never actually run out of juice while owning this keyboard, so it's hard to know exactly how long the battery will last (Fintie claims at least 100 hours of use, and I have no reason to disbelieve that number.) I just plug it in every week or two for an hour or so and I'm good to go.Pairing this keyboard with a capable smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy 9 is a liberating experience: it truly turns your phone into a highly capable, ultra portable laptop. You can type long documents and E-mails productively anywhere you happen to be. With an Android smartphone, you can use familiar Windows shortcuts like Control-C (copy), Control-X (cut), Control-V (paste), and Control-Z (undo). You can also use Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab to switch quickly between applications running on your smartphone. Power users will love this.I've tested this keyboard with a variety of devices and it seems to work well with anything that supports Bluetooth input. It worked flawlessly with Samsung Note 5 , Note 9 , and Galaxy S9 phones, as well as the Mate SE , Honor 7x , and Honor View 10 by Huawei. I've also been happy using it with Amazon's Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets. How cool is it that we can own an ultra-portable, ultra-light 10-inch laptop computer for under $150?I also purchased Fintie's much smaller 7 Inch Ultrathin Wireless Keyboard. Having tried both, I strongly recommend you purchase the larger 10-inch keyboard. Fintie's 7-inch version of this keyboard is too cramped to touch-type effectively, and it relegates essential punctuation like quotation marks to function keys, which is a deal-breaker. I've included a photo of the two keyboards side-by-side so you can see the differences.This entire review was typed on Fintie's 10-inch Bluetooth keyboard using a Samsung Note 9 as my display device.OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENTGiven the high quality and low price point of this keyboard, it's hard to complain too much about its deficiencies. The main problem I've noticed with it concerns durability, and that's a function of how it tends to get used. I tend to throw it into a bag, and on two occasions keys have popped off and lost while the keyboard was in transit. My solution was ultimately buy a second keyboard just to use as a source of spare parts. It would be less wasteful if Fintie sold extra keys separately.note: I was *not* solicited to write this review, and I bought this product with my own money. I received no compensation for this review and indeed I have no idea who the seller might be. I pride myself on writing unbiased reviews.

This keyboard makes my tablet feel like a laptop. It's easy to install and connects to your tablet through Bluetooth. You just switch the keyboard to ON and on your phone you connect to "Fintie" and it automatically connects.Your keyboard is wireless meaning you have to charge your keyboard to use it whenever and wherever you want. The keyboard can charge with your android phone charger (I have a Samsung phone) but it also comes with a USB wire to charge it BUT NOT the base, just the wire alone. So you can connect the USB wire it comes with and attach your phone base to it and then plug into the wall. (I hope that makes sense).The battery life lasts a veryyyyy long time when its charged. I think I've charged the keyboard once a month because it lasts long with one full charge.It is very lightweight and not heavy at all. So just be careful with it because it is light. The actual functions of the button works great. A light tap on the buttons and it easily recognizes the touch on your tablet.I heard that the keyboard also works if you connect it to your phone, I personally haven't tried it but I'm sure you can because it connects to any Bluetooth smart device for typing.It's smooth, the wifi on it connects fast and there's no lag from when you tap the button on the keyboard to it recognizing it on the tablet. As you type on the keyboard, it types on the tablet right away.I would recommend this keyboard, hope you consider getting it.

This is my second keyboard from the same company and I love each one. The first I gave to our oldest daughter to use on her iPad and phone and I bought a new one for myself. It’s very very helpful when typing a large note with a regular keyboard rather than trying to hunt and pack, which takes forever.It works great connects very easily weighs nothing and is very small flat and unobtrusive. I recommended highly.

This ultrathin keyboard fits easily into my backpack. I was worried about it breaking but it has shown to be sturdy thus far. Typing on this keyboard is good for the most part. The keys register well and the clicking isn't very loud so it shouldn't annoy people that are around you. The real estate is tight if you have larger hands like I do. I can type pretty comfortably, but the knuckles on my thumbs hit each other from time to time. Connectivy is good. There is a lag when both my Kindle 7 and the keyboard are idle for a little while, but it is a few seconds at best. The keyboard isn't spectacular but it does a fine job with what is expected of it at a good price point.

This is the third Fintie Bluetooth keyboard that I have used with my iPad 5th generation. The first one was a full-size 10" unit that worked well for about a year and a half and then quit. The second was a 7" model that I used for about a year until a key fell off the keyboard.I prefer the 10" keyboard. The keys are in a logical place and there is no need for awkward keystrokes to enter characters like quotation marks. I bought an inexpensive bag to carry this keyboard in which will hopefully lead to it lasting longer (I am hard on keyboards).The only problem I have is that the battery life on this keyboard seems to be less than the first 10" Fintie I had. I had to charge the keyboard up after using it only a few hours, whereas the old one would hold a charge for three or four times as long.EDIT: The keyboard was not out of power; I had forgotten to pair it with my iPad and I thought the battery was low. NEVER MIND.Good keyboard, though. I recommend it.
