ProtoArc XK01 TP Foldable Keyboard with Touchpad, 0.65 in Keycaps, Black

I've had this keyboard for about 6 months, and use it regularly enough I feel comfortable reviewing it. I purchased this pretty much to go with what you see in the photo, a Legion Go. This is a windows gaming device where the controllers detach to leave a high-powered, work-appropriate Windows tablet. But to really be able to use this, I needed both a separate keyboard and a mouse. Since I carry everything on me, I needed a functional but ultra-portable solution-- I already had a folding keyboard, which was great, but adding a wireless mouse was getting to bulky-- since I'm already carrying charging cables and a portable battery pack. This keyboard is probably one of the nicest folding chicklet keyboards I've used. The build quality is pretty solid, I haven't had any of the keys get loose. The trackpad is solid, but doesn't always register clicks, but I think that's part of the mechanical limitations. I've also noticed that the trackpad is a fingerprint/oil magnet, but so long as you're not doing this for aesthetics it works just fine. The thing has an internal battery charged by USB-C, which is vastly more convenient in 2025 compared to the micro-USB charging ports I've had on other folding keyboards-- and the device charges quickly and has a handy red/blue indicator light. It goes to sleep when folded. It also is great at waking up the device. I found pairing pretty easy. If I wanted to get fancy and pair it to multiple devices there are bright yellow Bluetooth shortcuts above the trackpad. I'm a touch typer and while not as comfortable or as accurate as a full mechanical or laptop keyboard, it feels as good as you're going to get for one of these devices. I use this mostly for writing emails and notes at work. For light productivity, it works great, but if you're going to be typing a 20 page term paper on your tablet, I'd suggest a full keyboard and mouse setup-- this isn't the most ergonomic solution, but to be fair, none of these folding keyboards are. One of the things I like is that it comes with a handy sleeve that closes with a magnetic button, it's a great touch that protects the keyboard without adding much in the way of bulk. It also comes with a phone/tablet stand that I'm sure is great, but I put to the side. There is a tiny little pocket in the sleeve for that. At $60 it's literally a third the cost of a Surface Pro keyboard, and about a quarter of the cost of folio keyboard option for Apple. I'd say it's a great option, especially if you find yourself limited by a touch screen. It also could be used with game consoles for the rare times you need to enter text such as character naming or entering in passwords when you don't want to use a controller.

I like this keypad, it is responsive and is almost full sized to a regular keyboard. The attached touchpad is a feature I was looking for as I connect this to mobile devices when travelling and I dont have to worry about a separate mouse. It has the feature to connect to three Bluetooth devices and switch between them using the buttons but I have not used that feature yet. No issues so far and works as expected!

I purchased this a few couple of months ago. This is a reliable and solid portable BT keyboard. It works with pretty much any device that supports BT keyboards. So far, I have connected it to my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 Pro, and even a Microsoft Surface Laptop Go (1st Gen) running Linux. I use it regularly with my S24 Ultra and Tab S11 Ultra (the reason why I bought it). In all cases it connected with no problems and worked as advertised. At first glance, it looks fragile; it isn't. When you open it to use it has a nice solid feel when typing. The key travels is pretty good. and the trackpad is accurate and responsive. USB-C charging is nice and convenient. The only flaw I can find is that it sits flat without the ability to angle it to provide a more comfortable typing angle. If you are looking for a reliable and portable BT keyboard to use while traveling, at the coffee shop, or in the classroom, this one would fit the bill quite nicely.

I wanted a foldable keyboard for my IPad when I travel so I can leave the laptop at home. I wanted it foldable to protect the keys and small enough to fit in a backpack. This fit the bill and it worked like a charm. All of the keys are full size and the battery lasted more than a couple of days. The touch pad was plenty sensitive and the keys responded like a normal keypad. On the plane I used it on my lap and it worked just fine. I highly recommend this keyboard for your travel needs!

I’ve been using the ProtoArc Foldable Keyboard with Touchpad (XK01 TP) for several months now as a travel and on-the-go option for my tablet and laptop. It’s a tri-fold Bluetooth keyboard that unfolds to a reasonably full-size 88-key layout with a built-in multi-touch trackpad, and overall it does exactly what it advertises: it’s compact, connects quickly to multiple devices (up to 3), and gives you basic typing + pointing capabilities in a portable package. Pros: • Folds down small (about 8.5 x 4.7 x 0.8 inches) and comes with a handy PU leather carrying case and phone stand, making it easy to toss in a bag. • The scissor-switch keys feel decent for travel typing — quiet and responsive enough for emails, notes, and light work. • The trackpad supports common gestures (scrolling, clicking, etc.) and works fine on Windows and iOS/Android. • Battery life seems solid with the rechargeable design, and Bluetooth pairing is straightforward and reliable. • Great value if you’re on a budget and just need something functional for occasional use. It’s lightweight and convenient for coffee shops, travel, or using with a tablet when you don’t want to carry a full setup. Cons (Honest Take): It doesn’t compare to premium options like the Apple Magic Keyboard or some higher-end Bluetooth keyboard cases. The key travel and feel are shallower and less refined, the build quality feels more plasticky, and the hinges don’t lock rigidly — you really need a flat surface for stable typing. The trackpad is usable but not as smooth or precise as what you get on dedicated laptop trackpads or flagship accessories. After regular use, it just feels “good enough” rather than enjoyable for longer sessions. If you’re looking for a cheap, portable Bluetooth keyboard + touchpad combo that gets the job done without breaking the bank, this ProtoArc model is a solid budget pick. It’s reliable for light productivity on the go. But if you type a lot or want that premium, laptop-like experience, you’ll probably be happier spending more on something like a Magic Keyboard or a better-built alternative.

Very impressive, lightweight keyboard. I guess I was expecting it to be plastic, and was surprised it's actually lightweight metal--definitely not rugged, but nicely made. It has a very lightweight case, primarily to keep it from unfolding in your pack; the case also stores the phone stand. The keys feel very natural, the touchpad works well, and I like that I can connect it to 3 devices. Paired instantly with my Samsung S25 and spouse's iPhone 16.

This is a terrific portable, foldable keyboard. I can't tell you how many keyboards of used and tested, including travel keyboards. This keyboard is the closest to a standard keyboard I've come across. Very comfortable to use, the keys and layout standard and the quality exceptional. The touch is comfortable and the layout intuitive. The track pad is functional and properly placed to the side to avoid accidental contact. Definitely recommend this keyboard. The only drawback is that the keyboard is slightly larger and heavier when folded. But I do think that is a compromise worth making for its near full size and the ergonomics.

Doesn't Feel Like a Folding Keyboard—and That's the Point This keyboard is an absolute must-have for an Android tablet. I recently bought a Galaxy Tab and immediately realized that if it was going to replace my laptop, I needed a keyboard and mouse. I first bought a smaller keyboard and mouse combination, and it was okay, but I needed more. This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for. It's full-sized and easy to type on, and once unfolded it feels much more like a standard laptop keyboard than a portable folding keyboard. I originally thought having a separate mouse would be better, but I've found that a touchpad is much easier when you're on the go. It also means there's only one item to keep up with, connect, and charge. Something incredibly important that I didn't even realize mattered until I started looking for exactly the right keyboard is that all folding keyboards aren't created equally. Some compensate for the hinge by using undersized or oddly positioned keys around the fold. As a touch typist, I'm pretty sure that would drive me insane. This one does it differently. The hinge folds UNDER the keyboard while the keys themselves remain full-sized and properly laid out. When it's open, you don't have to adjust the way you type just because the keyboard happens to fold. (Look at my photo and you'll get it.) The three Bluetooth connections initially seemed excessive, but I've grown so used to this keyboard that I now connect it to my phone as well as my tablet when I'm at my desk. I put the phone in the included holder and can switch between the two devices with the press of a button. Both devices feel much more like working on a laptop than an Android device when this is connected. I'm even considering pairing the third connection with my work computer and ditching my regular keyboard. So, three Bluetooth connections? Turns out they're not excessive after all. If you need a folding portable keyboard but don't want it to feel like a folding portable keyboard once you unfold it, this is the one you want.

Impressive presentation and design for price!

I absolutely love this keyboard. First off all it is surprisingly sturdy and very well built with the hinges feeling incredibly strong. The way it folds up makes it ideal for my usage and taking it home from the office each night. The trackpad works alot better then I thought it would with no missing function on a Windows laptop. My next think is trying on my Samsung Tab S10 Ultra for editing using LumaFusion. If it works for that then we have a fantastic winner here!

I like it. I had to purchase tiny stands as i found it a bit too flat. Connects fast vua blue tooth, no issues.

Honestly, even tho it costed more then other options, I'm glad I went with this one because it looks like the money was put more into the quality. I love that it turns off when you fold it closed. The cycle between each Bluetooth device. It's USB c charge which is the most convenient. It has a good size, works on my phone, TV, laptop, tablet with ease. Hmm if I was to think of a flaws? Err.... There isn't really any unless you like to eat over your keyboard 😅 then your kinda asking for problems. Oh and some people want to know this, this keyboard focuses WINDOWS first, over Mac. I had a keyboard that focused Mac before windows and it was annoying changing it with each boot up. I have not tested it on Mac, so maybe this info won't matter. 😁🫡 (If you are wondering what tablet is in the background to size reference, its a Galaxy Tab S9+)

le produit est très très bon, j'en ai déjà un. celui-là, je n'ai pas pu l'essayer, il etait en version qwerty, il me faut un azerty. Le service client est au top. J’ai été remboursé de l’intégralité. pour le retour, c'est à vos frais puisque c'est une entreprise basée à Londres. j'ai payé 30 euro pour les frais de livraison, j'en paie 23 pour le retour. et je ne vous parle pas de la complexité de la déclaration en douane. soyez sûr de commander à une entreprise européenne ou alors dont le produit se trouve en EU.
