If you want a full size foldable keyboard with function keys and a trackpad, I can recommend the ProtoArc XK01[0]. This is a good enough keyboard that I use it as my main keyboard at home, and it's surprisingly cool to be able to just fold up your daily driver keyboard and take it with you.

- MarceliusK 5mo agoMost folding keyboards I've tried felt like travel compromises first and keyboards second
- zmmmmm 5mo agoYes, I would say this keyboard is notable specifically because it is one of the few travel keyboards that is truly at par with a real desktop keyboard. It's not perfect, but the benefits of "one keyboard everywhere" outweigh the flaws for me.
- jbverschoor 5mo agoI'm used to having a trackpad below the keyboard
- gunalx 5mo agoSo something like this[1] could be cool then. A actual thinkpad keyboard with touchpad, bluetooth, trackpoint and even a fingerprint reader. [1] https://sharktastica.co.uk/keyboard-directory/GD2va1CX https://sharktastica.co.uk/keyboard-directory/GD2va1CX
- bartvk 5mo agoIt's not expensive either, just $46 (EUR. 41). Weirdly enough, they only sell/ship to the five biggest EU countries.
- coldtea 5mo agoThey have a direct link to buy from AliExpress
- jeroenhd 5mo agoI tried to follow that link, but AliExpress only lists one product (a mouse jiggler) when I actually went to that website. German Amazon should ship to me without additional costs but then I'd end up with QWERTZ...
- goobatrooba 5mo agoBol, coolblue, Amazon.Com.be or .nl all deliver to Germany. Actually I often do Amazon arbitrage, same coffee machine fun the same warehouse may be 200€ cheaper on Amazon.fr than in any German shop including amazon.de. and the Belgian store has less choice but often better prices. Makes no sense but true.
- jeroenhd 5mo agoThat brand doesn't sell their stuff on any of those websites. I have bought in Belgian and German web stores before, but I can't really do that if they refuse to show me their QWERTY product offering.

- Client1003 5mo agoI'm a big trackpoint fan and proud owner of an X1 Carbon Gen 7 Thinkpad, but I would not recommend this keyboard. The build quality is pretty bad. Sometimes the keys fail to type and the keys' mushiness makes for an unsatisfying typing experience. I have two but this was after buying a total of 4 and returning the two defective ones. If Lenovo were to replace the cheap feeling plastic casing for alumninum, it would be a game changer. I'm hoping the new framework keyboard can become my new daily driver, replacing the trackpoint keyboards I currently use.
- fransje26 5mo agoOn which OS did you try it?
- pigeons 5mo agoneed one with a trackpoint-like nipple
- WhyNotHugo 5mo agoDoes the trackpad make any sense, if you're using it on a device which already has a touchscreen? I'm not saying that the touchscreen is convenient, but a touchpad is mostly as impractical, and makes the keyboard seem to huge.
- UltraSane 5mo agoUsing a touchscreen when you have to hold up your arm is very tiring.
- JoshTriplett 5mo agoInteresting, but I'd prefer a version that's smaller by omitting the touchpad. (Well, I'd love to have a touchpad, but without physical mouse buttons it might as well not be there at all.)
