My laptop’s keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it’s interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.
Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I’m thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?
I’d get something like Logitech K380 or K400 Plus and a case.
I agree. I have the k400, it would be perfect. The integrated track pad would be value added in OP’s case.
Hadn’t considered the trackpad. Thanks.
What’s your budget and how are you with small keyboards, like 40%?
Probably something small and slim, like the Logitech K380.
I’d avoid the mechanicals because you’re not typing anything for long and I’m guessing space will be a premium in your backpack. The K380 is thinner than any mechanical, even the slimmer low-profile ones. Plus it’ll be within your budget; anything decent will not be US$50, or even US$100.
