Sometimes when travelling we might need to do some work that requires typing.
Sounds okay, but if we don’t have our computer with us things can get pretty tricky. And not everybody likes screen typing. In which case a good foldable keyboard might be handy to have.
What they do is that they are usually very small and lightweight. They are easy to carry as they can be folded and if you have enough space to fit your tablet or phone the chances are there will be space for a keyboard.
They have build-in batteries and usually can be used for many hours of continuous typing. They are good choice if you want to be more mobile and carry less stuff with you while not compromising the comfort of using a somewhat more standard keyboard.
Although they are not the best keyboards for gaming they can be very good for writers and freelancers. People on the go that need versatility and can bring they laptop with them.
