I recommend you get the LOGITECH K480 because its the best true feeling of typing on the key for any finger. I've been using a lot of portable keyboard including the one you show on the picture above but nothing get more natural and fast typing on K480. Those keyboard photo you posted i have those and it felt terrible like pressing bubble sponge on the button...plus very crampy to type..plus battery charging failed too. As for K480 love it! I have black yellow color K480 and have been using it since last year for everyday typing. It felt more like typing on premium notebook keyboard than cheap ones, buttons have more engaging 'clicks' than spongy keyboards. K480 support connection via bluetooth up to 3 phones/tablets and have cradle to put more than 1 phone for simultaneous typing. Excellent size for typing on my lap without slipping around. I'm a blogger so i use this keyboard a lot when i'm outside.

Here's photo of my keyboard LOGITECH K480, it runs on 1x AAA battery which i haven't replace since last year...seems to lasts forever They sell this keyboard on computer shop rather than at phone shop.

Cheap keyboards connection via OTG usb cable to phone works too but lots of cons that hinder mobility such as:

(1) Dangling long wire hinders movement.
(2) Wire pulling around my cause small USB port to loosen overtime.
(2) Drain phone battery to power keyboard.
(3) No craddle to support the phone upright when typing on the lap if you're doing it at bustop, transit, cafe and places.


I've been through that route and here's my photo how it looks like for wired OTG USB setup. Very klunky and messy setup. Thats why i bought K480...problem solve. Now i can travel better.

Oh yes i have to remind you that the keyboard slightly heavy than ordinary keyboard. I realized the keyboard was intentionally made heavy to make it more stable when seated on the lap or any unstable places so your phone won't tip over which is helpfull.

just received the products, i when i connected to whatsapp (my android phone), the enter actually is "next line", not the "send" function for enter.
so how to set that?

Its easy, The instruction already written on top of the keyboards sticker. If you're on android press the Android button on the keyboard until the lights flicker, then on your phone with bluetooth enabled scan and select the appearing keyboard. Once connected then you can use your WhatsApp or anything the requires typing.

I think you mix up whatsapp on pc
Whatsapp on pc when enter always send, shift+enter will next line
But on phone enter will next line, if want to send, tap TAB, ENTER,
Or go to whatsapp setting ENTER is send, but doing so you will not able to create msg format that need next line
