Foldable USB Keyboard

[AAshooter42]

I have been looking for a foldable keyboard that will withstand staying in a backpack.  Day to day uses require it not be bluetooth, the equipment I am involved with doesn't have the capability.  Keyboard can have either Micro USB or USB-C but the other side has to be USB-A to go into the device.  Not too worried about having a mouse on it but it would be a bonus and one less thing to rattle around in the backpack.  I have tried a couple options from different venders but haven't had good luck.  Wanting to know if anyone else has had better luck with a specific make, model or manufacturer.

I got one at my local thrift store for $9. Don't think it goes all in half.

Would maybe one of those 60% keyboards maybe work for your size issues? Is it just length you're looking to deal with?

Yeah just the overall length is what i'm trying to find a solution for.

then it comes down to if you need a num pad on the keyboard or not.

A little googling around says "Jelly Comb" is the brand name in foldables that a bunch of the BT only things on amazon are copying....the real ones seem to do both BT and USB

I don't think there's corded keyboards with built in mice/trackpads, but if you can use USB, you should be able to use wireless 2.4ghz stuff with usb dongles, so something like this might work:

or if typeability is your main concern, then maybe the 60% size gaming keyboards might work, size wise.

 

good luck
