Niilkin keyboard

I Bought a Keyboard That Folds Into My Handbag. Here’s What Happened.

I have a thing about keyboards.

If you know me, you know this already. It started with my BlackBerry. I loved that phone in a way that was probably unreasonable – not for the brand, not for the status, but for the keys. Real, physical, tactile keys that clicked back at you and meant something. Typing on glass has never felt the same, and I don’t think it ever will.

So when I spotted the Nillkin Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard on Amazon, something in me recognised it immediately. A proper keyboard. One that folds into a bag, connects to my MacBook, my iPhone, my iPad – whichever combination I’m using that day – and lets me type like I mean it. I was ordering before I’d finished reading the description.

Here is my honest account of living with it.
