Dave, everything you said is correct, however we find that, allowing it to go into sleep mode, is a little slow, compared to using the on and off switch which is instant. When you're at home is there a reason not to use it that way? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, August 13, 2018 7:09 PM Subject: Re: Black Web bluetooth keyboard
Hi, The on off switch, on these keyboards, is for when you are traveling, and packing your keyboard away, so the buttons don’t get pressed, as that will activate the keyboard, and use up battery. If you are using the keyboard, when you are not traveling, then it will go into sleep mode, usually within a minute or 2, of inactivity. Dave.

The battery status doesn't show up in the phone, we've looked. We navigate on the screen of the phone more than using the keyboard so far, so it might depend on one's usage of the keyboard. Even if we began using the keyboard more, I think this battery would last a good while. One really wonderful thing about this keyboard is that it has a slide button, to turn the keyboard off or to turn it on. So when we're not using the keyboard we slide that button off. In fact one keyboard that we have has been turned off each time, it was used, and the other keyboard has never been turned off, and it's been on for the whole 3 months, and neither one needs charging yet. So since we've only had these keyboards for 3 months so far, it will be interesting to see in time how it goes, and how long it will be when we need to recharge the battery. It seems to me that the keyboard would work on all of the phones sold in the store, including the more recent ones, as the x, your phone the 8 plus and 8 and others. I'll find the box to the keyboard and see if it specifically says it's only for certain iphones or ipad mini models which it was actually designed for, though we use it with our se phones. While I get the information from the box, since black webb is one of the brands that walmart sells possibly you could call your local walmart to ask them if this keyboard would work with your phone, or you could call the walmart headquarters and talk to the walmart.com department ask if your phone, the 8 plus phone will work with the keyboard. I know the walmart.com is for shopping online, but I've called before to find out about products a few times, since I don't buy anything online. When you ask about it, it's the black webb keyboard that costs about $20.

I’ve been impressed by this Black Web keyboard everyone has been discussing. I have a couple questions. Will it work with my 8 Plus? Arlene, you mentioned it has USB charging capability; how do I tell the level of charge and when it needs charging as I am totally blind?
