Wedge Mobile Keyboard looks quite slim but designed to be long-lasting. It’s a thin and lightweight layer made of metal and plastic, in black and silver.

The lower is made of smooth silver-colored plastic, broken only by the manufacturer’s name and a black plastic wedge-like tube that contains 2 AAA batteries. They lie at one side’s end while on the other end lies Bluetooth button.

This tube raises the rear of the keyboard, gently tilts the keys and helps you to work comfortable in long-hour typing – though you may prefer an oversized model for daily use.

There’s no extra space in the keyboard’s front. The smallest beveled parts cover big-sized keys entirely. When used, plastic-made Scrabble-tile keys sound interesting, but they felt quite hard when my fingers tried smashing the keyboard.

Typing is not as comfortable as using a full-sized keyboard but it is more accurate and less crowded than most Bluetooth keyboard we have ever used. You have good feedbacks from the keys.

Special buttons listed for Windows 8 Charms, is a striking feature. The key board connects with PC, laptop or tablet via Bluetooth, thus if you are using a desktop, you will need to buy a separate dongle.

A rubber-like cap fits over the keyboard’s front, when operating, it powers the device. The cap can be also folded to form a support for tablet.
