So: Which mini-keyboard to use with the PX3?

Administrator

Hi all,

I'm shopping for a very compact (10" or less in width) wireless keyboard to use with my PX3. Obviously it'll be no-frills, no numeric keypad, etc. The Logitech 360 works great but takes up too much space, IMHO.

The PX3's keyboard feature has been in test for awhile. Can anyone enthusiastically endorse a specific keyboard that works with the PX3, is small, inexpensive, and widely available?

If we find one that meets these criteria, we may start stocking it.

73,
Wayne

Re: So: Which mini-keyboard to use with the PX3?

I used several different keyboards, including two from Logitech, but prefer the slim wireless from Anker. I'm a touch typist and don't need a numeric keypad for hamming, but I do want full size keys and full spacing. This is the best I've found:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Compact-Keyboard-Dedicated/dp/B00PK07616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445909318&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=anker+wireless+keyboard+ultra+slim&psc=1

It matches the KX3/PX3 in style, color, and (light) weight, looks good, feels good, and it's affordable.

I use a Bluetooth version with my Samsung Galaxy 5 phone, and I like it but
I'm not a touch typist. It was only $13 on Amazon. I would call it
lightweight; some might call it flimsy.

I also have a no-name flexible roll-up keyboard that works fine with the
PX3 but I don't like it. I find I have to hit the key precisely in the
center to make it work. If you hit it off-center sometimes you miss the
character.

Hello Wayne,

I have tested and use a Rapoo wireless ultra-slim keyboard model E9070
with a very tiny 2,4 GHz dongle. It has an on/off switch at the bottom
and works, as far as I can tell, flawless.

It does have a numeric keypad but still measures only 340 mm x 110 mm x
5 mm at the "spacebar" end and 10 mm at the upper part, due to the
battery container, so it has a slight slant by nature. the backside is
stainless steel sheet.

I bought it in the Netherlands but as far as I can see Amazon has it
too. I paid 25 euro for it.
