This tool turns phones and tablets into mini laptops, reviewers say.

“Using my thumbs to enter captions and text is tiring and clumsy. With this keyboard — which I use every single day now — I can easily prop my phone up in the designated space and type away. People ask me all the time what it is and where I got it,” said one reviewer.

“The last few trips I took I didn’t even pack a laptop — the keyboard and my phone or tablet was enough,” wrote someone named Walter. “I purchased this keyboard to use with my iPad mini as I travel, so I wouldn’t have to carry my heavy laptop around,” another echoed.

“Have a chatty sister in law that lives in Italy and goes on and on about things on Whatsapp? Plug this thing in and you’ll be typing instead of thumbing your responses,” joked someone else.

“I use it with my iPad and it turns into a laptop basically when I’m at a coffee shop,” wrote Avi (another person, Leslie, called it their “go-to coffee shop writing tool paired with iPad”).

The keyboard is ready to use out of the box: It comes with two pre-installed AAA batteries so all you have to do is connect your device and get to it. “This was so easy to setup even for this 72 year old lady with limited tech skills,” wrote Karen.

“Every other keyboard doesn’t have this feature, meaning you have to buy a stand or bulky case with a stand,” explained a reviewer named Gideon.

Reviewers also appreciate that Logitech “is a solid brand with a good reputation for quality products.” “Logitech is a terrific choice for anything, really,” said another.

The keyboard isn’t the lightest one you’ll find, but that’s a good thing, reviewers note; the tool needs a little heft in order to securely hold a tablet or smartphone without tipping over.

“Currently using this product to write this review from my phone. I have trouble catching up with texts, especially with family and long paragraphs. I bought this to make texting on my phone easier. Opened the box and was using the product within 3 minutes. Works like a charm. Keys are a little sticky but its brand new gotta break it in. Highly recommend. Typing on the phone is annoying as hell for me, especially because I have large thumbs. This product did the trick!” —Eastcoastmike

“I got this for my 88 year old mother so she could more easily use the keyboard for her iPad and iPhone - she found it intuitive to use and set up - and much easier than using the touch screen. Also she can use it as a stand to watch Netflix and video! - success- ordering another one for me!” —barry weinstein

“I’ve had this keyboard now for well over a year and it works great! I use it mostly with my cell phone and tablets, texting, email, etc. It’s so much better than pecking at a little screen with your finger. Being able to touch type makes it even better to use. The batteries last and last. I very highly recommend it!” —Stan M

“As an avid writer I am constantly creating stories. I had been using my phone primarily because it’s easier and more convenient to travel with and just downloaded google docs to keep up with writing. After months of hand cramps I decided to get this keyboard. IT HAS BECOME A PART OF ME! I don’t go anywhere without it. I’ve used it continuously anywhere from 5-8 hours a day for about a year now and batteries and connectivity are still as amazing as day 1! The keyboard itself has a bit of weight so its stable on a desk and the keys respond very well. It’s very convenient to type docs on my phone with it because I can answer a text, search the web, and keep writing with split screen on my phone and this keyboard. Anyone who is tired of cramped fingers from typing on small screens this is a MUST HAVE!” —Kaylen matos
