How do you define "small"? You can get mini Bluetooth keyboards which are
pretty much exactly the same size as an iPhone, but those are not really
designed to be used as a regular keyboard where you do correct 10-finger
typing.
If you want this then the Apple Wireless keyboard is very good, the
Logitech
Easyswitch K811 is excellent and a lot of people like the Amazon Basics
Keyboard as a more budget option.
I like how the Apple Wireless keyboard feels, but I don't like the fact
that
the on/off switch is a button on the right side at the back, even if you
turn it off chances are it will turn on if you have it in a pack.
I just ordered the Logitech EasySwitch K811 which is also very well-made.
It
has a physical slider switch on the right side which is great, it also
has a
built-in rechargeable battery whereas the Apple Wireless keyboard uses 2
Double A batteries and the main reason why I bought the Logitech K811 is
because you can pair it with up to 3 devices at the same time and all you
have to do to switch from 1 to the next or the third is press F1, F2 or
F3.
I currently have only 2 iOS devices, my iPhone and my Apple TV, and I
will
pair it with both so that I can easily use the same keyboard. The name
"EasySwitch" truly applies.
I had in fact, ordered the K810 keyboard which is the same thing except
it's
made for PC's and mobile devices. It did work OK with the iPhone as well,
but it has Windows Key and Alt instead of Command and Option so the VO
key
is a different key combination. Anyhow, since I wanted it exclusively for
my
iPhone and Apple TV I decided to return it (I bought it from Amazon) for
a
refund and I ordered the K811 from the Apple Store using the Apple Store
app. It will arrive on Monday.
The price for the K810 on Amazon here in Canada was $79, the K811 from
the
Apple Store was $99, but on Amazon Canada they wanted $131. On Amazon.com
the K811 is only $72 or $77 or something around there.
Lastly, Logitech also makes a model K760 or close to that, it can only
switch between 2 devices, but it's solar powered which, had that been
available for a model which can handle 3 devices, I would have preferred.
But in the end keyboards last a long time anyways and the K810 and K811
are
rechargeable so it's not a big deal to plug it in over night every few
months.
Oh, the K810 and K811 are pretty much the same size as an Apple Wireless
keyboard, about 12 inches long and maybe 5 or so inches wide. They do not
fold, but while you couldn't stick them in a coat pocket, they are very
easy
to carry along if you have a shoulder bag, messenger bag or backpack.
Good luck,
Sieghard

Listers,
What's a small, Voice-Over compatible keyboard that works well with
iPhone
that I can flip out and use at a moments notice, put it back quickly and
is
sleek? I know that's allot but I know if anyone knows the answer you guys
do.
