Will and Marty chat about some of their travel keyboard solutions and how they came to those decisions.

What to Look for in a Travel Keyboard

Size & Portability

- Foldable or ultra-slim designs save space in bags.

- Weight ideally under 12 oz for carry-everywhere setups.

Typing Comfort

- Key travel: shallow (mobile) vs. deeper (laptop-like).

- Layout: full vs. compact (watch for missing arrow keys).

Connectivity

- Bluetooth 5.0 or newer for stable connections.

- Multi-device pairing (phone, tablet, laptop).

Battery & Power

- Rechargeable batteries with USB-C are best.

- Some run on coin/AAA batteries for ultra-long standby.

Durability

- Strong hinges or aluminum bodies handle repeated folding.

- Splash resistance or rugged cases help for outdoor use.

Extra Features

- Backlighting for red-eye flights or dim cafés.

- Built-in touchpads for tablet-first travelers.
