The Giz Wiz, Week of January 29, 2014, Netcast 1453

A great compact Bluetooth keybard. Small enough for travel, but enough to type on easily.

The new ZAGGkeys Universal Bluetooth keyboard is a versatile keyboard because you can use it with just about any Bluetooth device you have, be it smart phone or tablet. The protective case doubles as a stand, so everything you need is in one device. It doesn’t matter if you prefer Apple, Android, or even Linux, the ZAGGkeys Universal's ergonomic curved shape provides a comfortable way to type without using those tiny on-screen keys. Island-style keys, similar to those of traditional keyboards, provided enough room so I was able to type almost typo-free. Zagg says their Universal keyboard features a built-in battery that should last up to three months of normal use between charges. That means you can take it pretty much anywhere for work or play and not worry about being away from power. The keyboard sports two LEDs. One for Bluetooth pairing and one for the CAP LOCK. Having an easy way to know when a keyboard is in CAP mode is great, and many keyboards just let you guess. MSRP is $69.99, but it sells for less online.
