Bluetooth Keyboard
This is the first time ever using a Bluetooh keyboard, and so far not bad. It's a multi-device, so you can sync 3 devices at once. And it was super easy to do. This keyboard has special function keys so that you can adjust the lighting and your music. What sets this apart from a standard keyboard, is that it has function keys for copy, cut and pasting. And it also has a home button like on most cellphones. It also takes a little getting use to if you have no mouse. But it's nice that it has the 10-key. This keyboard is low profile, so it has keys like a laptop which I don't like. I prefer mechanical keyboards in general. I think this would work great for those that prefer to use portable devices. The keyboard itself is light weight and very portable itself.

Nice Keyboard
This midsize multi-device bluetooth keyboard works very well. I was able to easily connect it to a few different devices. It is very easy to type on not like some keyboards that are not spaced correctly and you accidentally hit the wrong keys all the time.

Easy to use
This Bluetooth keyboard is a great product for anyone that works on the go. It was easy to hook up through Bluetooth, and it is super light weight so it easily fits in a briefcase or computer bag. High quality antimicrobial plastic makes this product durable and comfortable to use on the go.

Good addition to laptop
The Targus midsize keyboard is a good keyboard to consider, especially as an add-on to your setup for working with a laptop.
Pros
- Comfortable for typing; doesn't feel flimsy
- Runs on AAA batteries, so easy to power up and get going
- Bluetooth work with no issues or problem
- The black model even looks good
Cons
- If you use the arrow keys a lot, like I do, and have thick fingers, like I have, the midsize arrows are pretty small to be effective.
- Delete key is in kind of an awkward position, above the backspace key
- The black keys are harder to use in low light compared to a white keyboard
Overall, the only negative is that I would have traded the full 0-9 numbers for bigger arrows and more convenient placement for the Delete and Backspace buttons.

Perfect multi device wireless keyboard.
If you have multiple devices and want to easily switch between them on one keyboard this is a great choice. Nice size and key action. Paired (bluetooth) effortlessly. Like the Antimicrobial element as I know keyboards can get nasty!

Good
It's definitely lightweight and maybe even a little thinner than I expected. Most of the time that's good although it turns out that having a little heft isn't a bad thing for a portable keyboard. It connects fine, although the tradeoff for not having the little USB dongle is a little extra delay to connect but basically unnoticeable. It's easy to type for a small keyboard, not quite as nice as a full size. Good project

Reliable but Build quality is OK!
Light, portable, and so far very reliable. It just has a wonky key placements and redundant keys that could of had better uses.
My main issue is the control key being the second from the bottom left instead of it being first. It's difficult to get familiar with as it's so small and awkward that I have to move my entire hand just to use it. Same goes with the alt and windows key. I wish these four keys were just switched around. The Function key could have easily replaced the second windows key on the right and the control key made twice as large.
One issue is having a large caps lock key.
Great feel compared to other cheap keyboards. Surprisingly decent quality. My complaint is having to hold the Fn key to use the function row on a Mac, versus just raising the volume with just the volume button, etc. But it works. I've literally tried 8, and this is the best of the semi mediocre selection (that doesn't have a number pad.
The keys are not backlit.
One of the biggest issues for me is that there does not appear to be a "caps lock" light indicator and no way to know if you are hitting the caps key when doing passwords. Have I input the wrong password for a new site? Who knows ...
I've used other compact keyboards for the past three years. They had a 'solid, one piece" back, which didn't rock or slide due to battery compartment. The keyboard was tilted for ease of typing. I'll assume that bit of plastic cost too much to put onto other keyboards, as only one or two makers now use them. TARGUS is not one of them. Slip sliding away..

Good keyboard
Works fine. No problems with connecting Bluetooth with different devices. Should note that keyboard works great with a Raspberry Pi 4B (Raspbian) Only thing I miss are the dedicated PgUp and PgDn keys. The keys have a good feel to their action.

Love this keyboard, I am using it to replace my company provided one at home during covid. It's held up great, buttons seem quality (if you've ever used a cheap keyboard you know what I mean and it's super easy to clean. 10/10 Would recommend.

Love it!!
There are several benefits with this keyboard but I'd have to say my 3 favorites were being lightweight, the fact that I can link my phone to the keyboard(it helps having bigger space to type) and the fact that it's antimicrobial. As a germaphobe, this last accomplishment deserves a round of applause. There's a good feel to the keys and they type easily and quietly.

Great keyboard
I love this keyboard. I've started editing pics and when using the laptop I find the keyboard small. This is bigger and more comfortable for me to use which makes editing easier and a bit quicker for me. Doesn't take up much room on my desk.

Great!
The keyboard of my laptop had recently quit working so when I saw this I thought it would in the end save me a lot of money of having to replace the laptop, it was super easy to connect to my laptop, the keys are quiet and press down wonderfully. It does exactly the same as any other keyboard, I would highly recommend

Works as described
I love the bluetooth keyboard. Its a pretty nice sized keyboard for being a bluetooth keyboard. I had no issues connecting to my computer, you should get a little notification to connect it by bluetooth on your computer. Very easy. I like that it prevents the growth of microorganisms, very important these days. It's awesome.

Nice compact keyboard!
I have a very small home desk and after months of work from home, my hands were starting to bother me from my laptop keyboard. This new keyboard is compact, wireless and easy to use and set-up. So far the battery life has been great!

Syncs perfectly with Bluetooth
I absolutely love this keyboard. It syncs easily with my Bluetooth on my iPhone. It has 3 different device connections, which I like because I can connect it to my phone and my computer. I like using this with my phone so I can type on a bigger keyboard then the one on my iPhone.

Works great!
A little hard to connect at first but could also just be my comp. I tried this on my surface laptop and my iPad and worked great; just be patient and allow it to connect and it should be more than fine. Also love how it types and how soft the keys are - would definitely recommend this product.

What I needed
This Bluetooth keyboard is great. It’s not too small to be functional but not too big to take up a ton of room. I use this with my tablet and was even able to pair with my FireStick to make searching easier
