Joe, When unfolded, does that keyboard it lock in place, or do you have to have it on a solid surface?
Richard Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com “The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying. There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." --Douglas Adams, from Life, The Universe and Everything, p.59 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joe Orozco Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2019 9:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Best choice for a bluetooth keyboard I bought the Pluggable Bluetooth keyboard from AT Guys at the NFB convention. It folds in three and fits into a small portable book form. The keys are exceptional, but note that it does not have the numberpad. Keep in mind that using JAWS with laptop key layout can be advantageous though.
