Good foldable keyboards?

[Lord Szechenyi]

something like this

 

I don't want to spend more than 100€ (note : please don't send me US links, import taxes are high, only interested in products available in the E.U)

 

Preferably I want a wired keyboard, but wireless will be just as good if that's the only option.

 

And no trackpad, I already have my wireless mouse.

the keyboard is under 60 dollars so think around 55 euros .

Should be available in EU

it is designed for travel but you did not mention your use case scenario so I am making the assumption for travel.

I have the logitech one myself and it works fine but this seems to be a better option ...no idea as I dont travel much anymore thanks to the world scene and travel costs after the Covid19 fiasco

it's less for travel, and more for easy transportation.

 

As in, I'd use the keyboard on a desk, like any desktop keyboard, but I want to be able to bring it with me anywhere I want easily.

Do you have a thickness constrains or need for a numpad? 60% board are quite common at that price range and you can get actual mechanical board.

don't need a numpad, as for thickness, as long as it's not over 2 inches when folded, anything is fine.

 

(I'd put a hard limit at around 3 inches though)

Keychron still have some V4 and K12 in stock at that price range, theyre french based so still inside of the Schengen. If you insist on amazon though your option isnt that amazing, mainly GK clones from either Epomaker themselves in the form of GK61, or Royal Kludge RK61. And the latter 2 comes with integrated battery and a hollow case so theyre thick for no reason.

So I looked at the keyboards, they don't seem to be foldable?

the one i linked you to is pretty much identical to the photo you offered? 

alterantive would be the silicon keyboard that tyuo simply roll up ... they are dirt cheap and generally with a usb connection. used them myself when we did a refit of a coffee shop in London years ago. Coffee shop was one of those internet cafe style shops. You dont see them much anymore but they still exist.

eh, I'm not a fan of silicone keyboards.

 

Also, the one from rtings (the logitech one) seemed to be a bit of poor quality.

Seems something like the iClever BK05 would be what I need, problem is that it's bluetooth (with NO dongle), and also not available in the E.U...

No, but they are quite compact. Can you say how often you'd need to take the keyboard somewhere?

It's not about how often I take them, but how much space it takes in my bag.

 

I want to have a "wide" keyboard, but without having the problem of carrying a wide keyboard.

 

seems the only other keyboard I found that could be good is in fact the one Linus uses in the video

I feel like I've seen that exact keyboard on Ebay.

60% keyboards can be pretty small, I had a Ducky One SF that wasn't much wider than a sheet of paper. Finding a non-bluetooth foldable board might be difficult (same for touchpads, by the way), that's why I went to SFF boards instead. A split board could be an option instead, but that's going down the rabbit hole and likely not what you want either.

Interesting, I tried to buy the picopc folding keyboard, and it gives me a 403

 

anyone else getting that? https://picopc.net/products/folding-keyboard-tri-fold

Well if it's not foldable then I guess I won't die, but I'd want a keyboard that's more than 8 inches and less than 13
