Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

I need to purchase a small keyboard to pair with my 10inch tablet. Looking for something comfortable to use with decent travel.

In order to avoid interference to WIFI signal (type N) I thought I will get something wired instead of bluetooth or wireless.

Can please recommend what keyboard is good? Trying to stay within $50 budget.

Moi use this on desktop. That's primarily because my laptop has like 98% of the exact same layout so I don't have a learning curve. Otherwise decent travel and feedback for a laptop chiclet style keyboard. Trackpoint (the little joystick in the middle) can use as mouse replacement with the left and right mouse keys, very functional if you learn how to use it.

Its about 10 inch too... but not in your budget. But I reckon there are cheaper alternatives.

Thanks.

I wonder if it is possible to find a full sized keyboard but very slim and light, and easy to carry. I am not sure if I will enjoy the laptop layout.

How small ? I'm using the Logitech K400r because I need the touchpad.

You can consider K380 if no need touchpad.

Imo u can still look around for different keyboards. But its hard to find the perfect compromise between wpm accuracy and portability. Those surface keyboard like implementations will definitely have worse key travel and tactile feedback.

Keep looking. Anker has one at similar dimensions to mine.

Been using my Sunsonny China mouse for 3 years so far. Some brands are not bad.

Rapoo N2400 looks interesting. ~$13 local price.

Rapoo seems to have some nice looking mechanical keyboards. Never used one myself though. Heard very noisy!
