I’ve seen a handful of people’s pics where they have the folding bt keyboards. I’d like to have a portable kbd with a trackpad for those infrequent times it’d be useful.
Has anyone had a good experience with one they can recommend?
I did a lot of research on this and the most important thing to think about is the layout. Is this just going to be to input a little bit of text every once and a while, or will you type a bit on it? The reason is almost all folding keyboards have to make layout compromise in order to fold. Some squish certain buttons down, some add gaps, some remove buttons entirely.
I wanted as close to natural button placement as possible, with USB-C charging, at a decent price. It didn’t need to be the most premium thing because I just use it every once and a while. I went with this:

It doesn’t however have a touchpad like you want. I made a spreadsheet where I collected all the main folding keyboard and you can sort by accurate button layout, touchpad, multi device support, price, etc. Note that I made this a while ago for my own purposes so the prices will be old and some links may be dead. Hope it helps.
The trackpad is a nice to have. Your list is really helpful. Thanks!
I’ve got this one and it’s been a godsend for setting up things in Desktop mode with Steam closed

I bought one off Amazon and it was garbage. The hinges popped after 2 or 3 openings.
I recommend these keyboards as they are small and seem to get the job done well enough.
