a foldup keyboard that works with

[Music]
0:16
device oh Dave Taylor here and if you've
0:19
ever done what I was just doing you know
0:21
how annoying it is to take notes on a
0:24
little portable device so this is an
0:26
iPhone Android even tablets tapping on a
0:29
screen screen is not the way that we
0:31
were intended to enter data now you can
0:34
speak to your device but that works
0:36
really poorly if you're at a lecture or
0:38
in a class or anything like that so what
0:41
you really want is something with a tiny
0:43
little screen that's easy and portable
0:45
and a separate little keyboard enter
0:48
this this is the I clever Tri folding
0:51
keyboard and it pairs simultaneously
0:54
with three different devices but let's
0:56
open it
0:58
up yes it's it's a full keyboard and it
1:01
even has a trackpad and mouse buttons
1:04
now let me tell you the downside up
1:06
front is this entire section basically
1:09
doesn't work at all if you're using iOS
1:11
devices like an iPhone but that's okay
1:14
cuz you can use your iPhone and you can
1:16
still do all the data input and then if
1:18
you switch to Android or you switch to a
1:21
Windows tablet or something like that
1:23
then you'll have that functionality too
1:25
it's just something I clever can't
1:27
figure out how to get working with apple
1:28
or more likely Apple just doesn't give
1:30
them permission to do a remote Mouse
1:33
like that either way not a huge crisis
1:36
and here's the thing is that you're
1:37
probably looking at this and thinking
1:39
this is probably some cheap piece of
1:40
plastic and it really isn't It's
1:42
actually an aluminum body let me show
1:44
you the back and it has a really nice
1:47
feel to it and once you open it flat it
1:50
stays flat and so it's real easy for me
1:53
to type
1:58
in and the keyboard's a little smaller
2:01
they I clever says it's about 90% the
2:04
size of a regular keyboard but it's
2:06
really quite functional and I am way
2:09
faster on this than I am tapping on this
2:12
device so really interesting option and
2:15
I don't know if you could see probably
2:17
couldn't but watch when I close this it
2:21
automatically turns off right so you see
2:24
there's a little difference in what
2:25
happens here and then when I open it up
2:30
it'll actually automatically pair again
2:32
so a little hard to demonstrate that
2:35
here but it's a really Nifty feature
2:37
because what this means is it means that
2:40
if I'm in a lecture hall or something
2:41
all I have to do is open this thing up
2:43
and I'm ready to start typing I don't
2:45
have to mess around with it and to
2:47
switch between Bluetooth inputs you can
2:49
see here there's Bluetooth 1 Bluetooth 2
2:52
and Bluetooth 3 I literally can bounce
2:55
between multiple devices if I want to be
2:57
entering data and working on my window
2:59
Windows machine and then I want to jump
3:01
over to my phone and type in a quick
3:03
search or something super easy to do now
3:06
what else can I tell you the touchpad is
3:08
multi-point but again doesn't work with
3:11
iOS kind of a bummer um 90% size
3:15
keyboard um it has a 60h hour actual
3:19
work time and a 90day standby so you can
3:22
absolutely charge this at the beginning
3:24
of each month and just leave it in your
3:26
backpack for notes or something like
3:28
that 7 oz so it's really pretty portable
3:31
what I like close it up put it in their
3:34
handy carrying bag
3:37
and this is a very very easy thing for
3:40
you to travel with and to throw in like
3:43
I said your backpack your suitcase your
3:47
briefcase leave it in your desk if you
3:49
need to be on the road and taking some
3:52
quick notes really easy now this one
3:55
with the touchpad that doesn't work with
3:57
iOS is $49.99 at amazon.com so this one
4:02
is the I clever Tri folding keyboard
4:05
with touchpad iclever actually makes
4:08
essentially the same device but what
4:11
they've done instead is they omit the
4:14
whole trackpad section because that's
4:16
basically for iOS users so it's a great
4:19
little portable keyboard if you have an
4:21
iPad for example or an iPad Pro and you
4:24
want to just once in a blue moon be able
4:26
to use a actual keyboard this could work
4:29
really well or the one without trackpad
4:31
is probably an even better investment
4:33
cuz that one's only
4:35
$29.99 so you can save 20 bucks on this
4:39
portable I clever keyboard by having the
4:43
one without the trackpad for your iOS
4:46
devices now speaking of iOS devices and
4:49
so so many other devices let me ask you
4:52
to click the Subscribe button so you can
4:54
join our family and catch all my other
4:57
reviews thank you so that's basically
5:00
all I have to tell you about this it's a
5:02
really Nifty little device and it feels
5:04
way nicer and it's way better
5:07
functionality than I expected I love
5:09
that you open it up and it instantly
5:11
pairs once you've done the initial
5:12
pairing of course and so you know you
5:15
can even travel with it just like this
5:16
and skip the little bag it all works
5:18
it's just super easy so this is the I
5:22
clever tri-folding keyboard with
5:24
touchpad you can check it out and learn
