Title: Brilliant little keyboard
Review: Brilliant little keyboard. Fits in a jacket pocket and is slightly larger than an IPhone 13 or equivalent. In regard to use case, I use the XK01 as my remote desktop keyboard when away from home and it is arguably the best travel keyboard out there, however I was finding it was a bit too bulky to carry with me when I was out for the afternoon and I wanted to leave my laptop/ remote setup in situ. The new XK04 is a keyboard I can see as something that can fill this gap, as this is a perfect size to carry in a jacket pocket for when I’m working from a cafe with my phone as my main note taking device. Although I’ve only had this keyboard for a few hours, ProtoArc’s XK04 is very similar in its overall appearance to a generic folding keyboard I’ve been using recently, but it appears to be more refined in design, use of materials, key travel and overall usability. My only minor criticism would be the size of the function row, as I think this could be smaller in future revisions to allow for the main keys to be slightly larger, but it’s not a deal breaker. Overall this keyboard is much better than other offerings I’ve seen to date at this size/ form factor. Definitely recommend.

Title: Great keyboard
Review: This is my second attempt at a travel keyboard and it’s so much better . Unlike most folding keyboards it unfolds completely flat so no give in the edges, it’s super lightweight only a few hundred grams . Keys press nicely and the non letter keys in the right places – with seamless hot key switching between my mac, windows and iPhone . Overall size is about the same as a laptop keyboard – enabling me to use a travel stand for my laptop to raise up the screen height and then this keyboard .Long product review – great product .

Title: This is such a great little keyboard
Review: Build quality is great for the price. It comes with a little phone stands. Quick to charge and can connect to 3 devices via bluetooth fast switch. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

Review: I just got this portable keyboard to be able to type on my tablet so I can easily write emails. I think the first thing that struck me when I opened the package was how “premium” everything felt. From the actual box down to the keyboard itself it just feels very high end.Works as advertised. Was incredibly easy to connect. Turned it on and my tablet found it and paired with it. My one small gripe, it’s perhaps a little heavier then I though it would be. Beyond that I think this is probably as good as you can get for the price and for anything overall. Great little gadget!!

Review: Perhaps, I should start by saying that I have used several ProtoArc products and they all had their special niche, and none of them disappointed. This is yet another nice product with a specific “small form factor” benefit, but unfortunately it might be too small.I have been happily using another similar foldable keyboard from the same brand, the XK03, and this one, the XK04, is similar in many aspects, but is still notably different. This is also a small wireless keyboard that folds into two and takes up a very small space both when folded and when opened. This one has more hard parts that can be felt and has a sliding mechanism that moves as you fold and unfold. As you unfold it, the keyboard inside slides into the outside cover to move completely underneath the cover, while there is a slight opening when folded. I don’t see much benefit from the sliding mechanism, but I fear it might lead to a shorter lifetime for the keyboard if the mechanism starts failing.There are all the nice features you might come to expect: internal rechargeable battery, standard USB-C port for charging, and wireless connection. Then there are other features that more advanced products can offer such as the ability to connect to 3 different BT devices and switch between them as you wish, having the key names that work both with Windows and Apple OS.This one is slightly thicker than the XK03, but definitely much shorter and smaller. I like this one a lot too, but it feels too small for me. I can still type with both of my hands on the keyboard, but the key positions feel awfully close, and two-hand typing is not very comfortable. I have not cut any stars from my rating because the small size is the main feature of this keyboard, and if you want to go this small, it means that you are willing to trade off some comfort and space. Naturally there is no numeric pad, but the rest of the keys are all there including the function keys (like F1, F2, etc., all the way to F12) and special purpose function keys (like screen brightness, volume up, and play forward).There were two things I was not comfortable with (aside from the very small size). One is that there was an on/off slide button on the side. The XK03 turned on automatically when you opened, and shut off automatically when you folded; perhaps, I got too used to that, an on/off button is not a big deal otherwise. And the second thing is that I cannot see the battery charging process or the amount of available charge neither physically on the device, nor through software on my computer screen.Overall, I love it for its compact design and for being full of features, as well as for its ease of use, but I still liked their XK03 model much better. If you want the smallest size available, I can definitely recommend this, but I would rather prefer their XK03 model over this one.

Review: I have been trying to use this for every single imaginable scenario and put it through its paces to stretch its uses to the max. This is insanely useful.I have pretty large hands and am used to when typing moving my hands in large motions when typing to get finger postions right on the keys. It took some adjustment to use to this being way smaller than the mechanical keyboard im use to, but if i dont move my hands at all i can still reach every single key with no issues and they work really well. They’re responsive and input doesnt seem delayed in any way. As I see other people have mentioned however the hinge that allows this to fold closed does sit exactly where people who press space with their right hand would move their thumb and so it does get pretty annoying.The size of this is insane. Like in a good way. It feels large enough to do what you need to do, but small enough to where it can easily fit in a bag, pocket, jacket, or even a small messenger bag or purse. I would carry it around all the time because even though it feels sturdy and really well made its just asking for it to get messed up or accidently knocked on something if you dont intent to use it all the time.Theres a switch that allows you to switch between multiple prepaired devices which is awesome. Another function i found for this is I run a server at home that I normally manage at night. Ive wanted to do it from bed attached to my tv but didnt want a full size wireless keyboard just taking up the bed or hanging out on my nightstand. This helps by allowing me to just pop out the wireless keyboard, flip it on and have it auto connect, then I can do whatever maintenance etc I need to from the comfort of my own bed. This thing checks every box I didnt know I needed excluding the hinge being in the way.Looking at the design and testing it I’m not sure where the layout could go from this point the make the hinge less of an issue when using the space bar but definitely something that could be improved upon in the future. Other than that this thing literally blows me away at how much it can do in such a small package!

Review: I instantly fell in love with this keyboard. It’s much smaller than I expected when folded – not much larger than a smartphone. It’s perfect for using with the PC that’s hooked up to my TV because it’s so easy to store and also perfect for spaces where you don’t have a proper desk for a full-size keyboard.Although it’s very small, it’s fully functional and you can still type quickly with it, even if you have larger than average hands/fingers. The buttons are very high quality and are all clearly and intuitively labelled. They’re also very silent when pressing them, which is a really nice bonus if you find the sound of clicking keys annoying. Overall the build quality is outstanding. It feels like it will last a very long time.Connecting to my PC via Bluetooth was seamless and fast. The keyboard actually has three Bluetooth channels so you can connect to up to three different devices simultaneously. It also works great with my android tablet, and is handy to have in case I ever have to use my tablet to compose documents or send longer emails. As a bonus it also comes with an excellent, compact foldable stand that can be used to prop up tablets or smartphones so you can use them like laptops.Very satisfied and 100% recommend to anyone who needs a very compact yet fully functional keyboard!
