Just like investing in a quality pen if you are writing by hand for a long time, investing in a quality portable bluetooth keyboard is worth adding to your routine.
Portability, the ability to hook up to not only your bluetooth enabled desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. As of this writing, September 3rd 2022, the best two bluetooth keyboards for writing are Apple’s TenKeyLess Magic Keyboard, and Logitech’s MX Keys Mini.
The price point of both recommended keyboards are 99 dollars.
Here are the pluses and minuses of both keyboards:
Apple Magic Keyboard
+ It has an aluminum frame.
- At least for me, it has the Apple keys
Logitech MX Keys Mini Wireless
+ Can easily switch between multiple bluetooth devices
- Has a hard plastic frame
+ Backlit keys for writing in the dark
Make sure you get the TKL version of the Apple Magic Keyboard for portability.
Personally, I like Apple’s keyboards, and the aluminum frame compared to the solid plastic frame of the MX Keys Mini is why I went with the Magic Keyboard. However, the competition was close. The ability to easily switch between several devices is a highlight. I don’t look at keys when I’m typing, so the backlit keys of the MX Keys Mini didn’t really add anything for me. Also note that the Apple Magic Keyboard can easily be used with Windows PC, as well as Android. I haven’t tested a Chromebook, but I would be surprised if it didn’t work.
Please note if you use Scrivener and want to sync and edit on your Android phone there is a free app called Office: Textmaker it has the ability to edit RTF files.
In the end, if you can get to a store that has a demo, you can type on the keyboard and decide which one feels right for you.
