I have enough problems mistyping on a full-sized keyboard! <g?>

No personal experience but some time ago I did suggest a foldable BT
Keyboard to a friend -- ended up he never got one as didn't use his
phone enough to warrant carrying around.

My suggestion is something like this at Amazon:  ASIN B0C4CW77XX
$30.00.

Good points (IMO):  small, has a touchpad.  Throw a bad point here as
only 11.9" wide (one foot), and that dimension includes the touchpad so
a tiny keyboard.  (The main keyboard what I'm typing on now is almost
that width.)

Another bad point is because of the folding your keys are not
traditionally spaced.  Not expecting 50 WPM skills but might throw you
off sufficiently.

Another option (B0C1S5TNMM) has the Touchpad at bottom; with my laptop I
am constantly touching the pad with the palm of my hand and so sending
the pointer all over the screen.

Hope of some assistance.
