Hi Ed!

 EV> In a Aldi weekly ad I saw a BT Folding Keyboard priced at $9.99
 EV> USD. None were there when I visited the Store tho
 EV> I was wondering if a CTRL key would be on it.

Yes: one at the lower left under the Shift key.


 EV> Lots easier to press CTRL End than scrolling down some text if I
 EV> wanted to see something near the bottom of the articles.
 
True!

I didn't see a manufacturer nor model number; does say can be ordered 
online but the online price may be different.  USB-C charging with sleep
mode to save battery life (didn't indicate how long for either).

....I don't recall seeing the size either, so no idea how large the unit 
is nor the size of the keys.  (Could make typing difficult if too small 
and/or fat fingers.)

Do note the keyboard spacing is going to be different from a regular
keyboard, so even if near-regular size key pads then your positioning 
will be 'off'.

No touchpad.  ...I have a tiny (roughly 4" x 6" IIRC) device which has a
keyboard on one side and a touchpad on the other (whichever side is up 
is activated).  OK for typing a few letters but I wouldn't want to do 
more then a sentence.  I use it with a Raspberry Pi downstairs where I 
don't need a lot of keyboard action.  Connects via dongle plugged in to 
the USB port.  Can give more details if of interest -- just throwing it 
out there as an alternative.
