The one I have is ONN brand, from Wa-Mart.
I like this portable one so much, that I am considering a standard sized keyboard for general use at home.
The costs are basically the same, but the full size keyboard does not have a built in rechargeable battery, so it is not able to be recharged via a phone charger.
It takes AAA size batteries, which I would want to use rechargeables in. Although I have a few extra AAA rechargeable batteries laying around, they are pretty old. Of course, I would probably want another charger to use if I were to purchase more rechargeable batteries.
Where I would purchase these batteries and another charger {Harbor Freight}, the batteries and the charger are about $8 each.
So the cost to power the keyboard will cost about the same as the keyboard itself, lol.
That is one reason that I am glad that I got the keyboard that I did, as it can be recharged via the same charger that the phone uses.
The only thing I can really complain about so far is the idea that the keyboar folds for easy portability.
This makes me worry about long term durability.
But other than that, it sure makes using my phone so much easier.
I can't get over just how much I missed having a 'normal' sized keyboard to communicate with! Even with my below average typing skills {sooooo out of practice!} and the odd feeling of the keyboard keys {Yes, I learned how to type on an IBM typewriter, which had a ball with all the characters that would go BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM against a sheet of paper} I can now type much more comfortably and quickly.
The keyboard that I got recently has model number of:
TAAKBB100015515
and comes from:
Weaforla Technology Co., LTD
At Wal-Mart, it is sold as:
add onn
Anyway, to better use this thing, I highly recommend a phone stand. There are various types around, but when I was purchasing the keyboard, a new one caught my eye.
This one is a desk mount- it doesn't really 'mount' to anything, it just has a weighted base and holds a phone/tablet up at an angle of the user's choice.
It is Premier brand, Home & Office Essentials.
Together, they literally making it seem like I am using an entirely different device- not kidding at all.
So the following are a few pics, showing what I am working with.
The phone is on the stand, and the keyboard is in front of it.
The stand that I used to use is on the top left of the pic.
Notice how much more ajustible the new one is.
The other pics are of the boxes that the keyboard and the stand came in, so that you can more easily identify them in the store.
