Portable Computer Keyboards Give The User Some Flexibility

By Larry Levine


The portable computer keyboards provide the user an option of sitting away from the screen when there is a crunch for work space. IPod and PDA users are also benefited by using it except that it is a bigger keyboard to key in. These keyboards are lighter when compared to the conventional ones.

These keyboards occupy very little area and therefore can be conveniently stored in the smallest of available spaces. These are well shielded from accidental spills as they are manufactured using silicone, plastic or polyurethane materials only. They are well-suited to work in conjunction with almost every brand and model of PDAs and laptops. Mini portable keyboards with lesser number of keys can be suitably used to work with smaller machines.

Portable computer keyboards of different models and manufacturers are available in the market. While the foldable model can be folded in any manner to generate different keyboard layouts, the roll-up and flexible models are popular for their ease of operation. The Bluetooth keyboards enabling wireless form of connection are also available.

It is very important to have a thorough knowledge of the available styles, the offers, performance, product quality and price while looking out for a keyboard. Since these are available at different shops, one would like to purchase it where product warranty and guarantee are provided. It is also necessary that the product is useful rather than having a number of functions which never get used.

Visualize the area of usage before you finalize the size. If it would be a car, bus or subway, you may decide to purchase the smaller ones. Also, evaluate the overall time that would be spent on the keyboard. A keyboard with proper wrist and hand support will help avoid carpal tunnel injuries to nerves in the hand that are a result of long hours of typing. Ensure that the operating system you are using supports the device you are buying. Give necessary thought to the life of the battery through sessions of charging as well as warranty.

One popular model of portable computer keyboard is Adecco 210. This small sized keyboard can be easily used in public places. The silicone covering of this keyboard makes it waterproof. The other advantages of this keyboard are its bacteria resistant and resilient feature and the ease of cleaning.

Deckwell is another well known manufacturer of portable computer keyboard. Like Adecco, this keyboard is also silicone covered and hence waterproof. However, the main advantages of this keyboard are laser printed keys and its backlit feature which illuminates the keyboard. This keyboard can be easily used in areas with poor lighting and so it is very suitable for frequent travellers.

Freedom Pro, a handy, small and portable Bluetooth keyboard has a class of its own. It not only has 75 key but also the Bluetooth element. It can very well be used with all sorts of handsets and smartphones.
