Hey, I’m a writer, not a fighter
LOL.
So when my laptop’s keyboards
gave me issues, the first impulse was to have it looked at by technicians. I
brought my unit to a local repair shop. Then Carl was able to pick it up after three
days. The diagnosis was that the flex cable had to be replaced and the keys had
to be cleaned. They even gave me a week’s warranty.
But, alas, the same problem
occurred and we even shelled out money for it. However, I have deadlines and
assignments. I opted to try another option, and that is to have a Bluetooth
keyboard on hand.
This Rapoo K800 Wireless USB
Keyboard is my third unit after Carl bought me the Rapoo E1050, and the
Manhattan KW1 Ultra Slim Wireless USB Keyboard after that. I loooove the Rapoo
keyboard. It’s smooth, effortless, and lightweight. I absolutely have no
complaints. But it also meant added baggage to my gear every day. I lug around
my 14-inch laptop, mouse, notebooks, and my personals in a bag, plus my new
wireless keyboard.
I thought that I need another one
for the office so that I could leave the first one at home. I opt to do some
productive stuff at home, such as freelance writing, obligations for school,
and vlogging.
Well, I tried to extend my
patience with the Manhattan Slim chiclet keyboard but to no avail.
I saw in a video that I need to
press more keys to make sure all of them work and have a smooth response, so
that’s what I did for a period. But it hurt my fingers in the long run. And I know
that I deserve something smooth and portable.
I didn’t realize how important
the keyboard is until after I became frustrated with it.
And I do miss writing on the
laptop’s keyboards.
I told myself that once I am able
to save up for a new laptop, I might be able to move to the iOS ecosystem if
the budget permits. Perhaps that transition can grow old with me and I can do
good with vlogging and my freelance writing gigs on the side. I need efficient
gear in order to be productive so I can focus on writing more.
Review:
I love that it is lightweight and
quite portable. I can pick it up with one hand. It can fit in my backpack. When
I’m done, I can keep it in my drawer.
It also looks good on my desk
when it’s set up.
I think it is going to be handy
especially if I decide to bring it along during travels.
