Nuu K1 - English MiniKey - Keyboard - Retail Packaging - Black

Longtime BB user that went from a BB 9700 Torch to an iPhone 4, and like other BB users new to iPhone I'm not willing to invest 6-12 months figuring out how to type reasonably efficiently on smooth glass. After only 3 or 4 days of trying to type out legible emails, now I understand why there are so many 'dumb autocorrect' jokes floating around. It's simply too much to ask for iOS to know what we want to convey as far as typographical errors on the smooth screen.Yes this case makes the iPhone thick (it is almost a full 20mm with the iPhone in it), and I will have to look around for a suitable leather pouch / case for it (it would have been better if it had a clip for me to use on my belt, but that's just my preference), but the slider mechanism is smooth enough (not as silky 'solid' as the Torch but nice nonetheless). Being able to crank out emails on a real keyboard is a joy - much more productive when I can give a comprehensive answer to a simple email request without resorting to one more thing I've got to take care of when I'm back at the office. (I'm a field employee so having the ability to type on the go is very important.) There is some adjustment needed to the keyboard layout, I miss the right shift-key as well as the spacebar could be a tad longer as I feel it doesn't extend far enough to the right, but it is nice to have a full complement of symbols accessed through cmd-key combinations, and the symbols are clearly marked, unlike the BB where a 'sym' key took you to another full screen to tap. For someone who uses symbols like %, & and = with some regularity (who doesn't?) this is very helpful to have.I was tempted by purchasing from another vendor (not on Amazon) who had their own twist-style keyboard, but I like the slider function better, even though it is landscape orientation compared to my prior experiences with Blackberries (I've lost count how many BB's I've had, must have been at least five starting out with a black-and-white email-only unit back in the dark ages of 2002 or so.) Playing around with the iOS apps now I see (belatedly) what all the fuss is about, from the consumer perspective, and now I can rightly say that this keyboard makes the iPhone useful for getting work done on the smartphone itself. (That is, until speech-to-text applications get a huge advance in capability and accuracy making the keyboard obsolete, which may take several more years...)It's a keeper, and one I'd recommend.Edit:I found this leather case: Black Horizontal Leather Pouch for Sidekick 2 3 LX. [...] on Amazon, and while it is about 1/4-inch longer than the iPhone/Nuu Minikeyboard unit, it is the perfect depth. Strong magnetic flap and nice strong 'clip' that doesn't fall off my belt. (Okay I'm used to having something hang off my belt as an old-timer BlackBerry user.)

Ever since going from my LG EnV2 to an iPhone, I have been constantly aggravated by the lack of physical keyboard and aggressive auto-correct. I was contemplating a new smartphone with a built in keyboard but decided to give this product a try first.My first impression was how big this 'case' is. I feel like I'm carrying a VHS tape in my pocket (it's not quite that bad), but this case makes your iPhone about 2.5x as thick. It also removes the slick texture from the back of your phone, so if you liked that for whatever reason take that into consideration. However, it feels sturdy and the sliding mechanism is quite solid.This keyboard connects to your phone via BlueTooth, which means that it contains its own battery and does occasionally need to be charged via USB Micro B. I would estimate you get 1-2 weeks of heavy use before needing a charge. There is a green/red LED to let you know how it's doing.The keyboard feel is decent, but not great. I would rate it a 3/5, but compared to the alternatives (BoxWave) it's the best you'll get. The button placement is pretty good, and it's a relief to have a normal spacebar. However, the spacebar does not press easily in its center and prefers to be touched from the left or the right side. The buttons as a whole are a bit stiff and not 100% independent (very slightly mushy). The EnV2 keyboard was much better -- keys were snappy and required the right amount of pressure.I'm a bit surprised that they did not put numbers on their own row because I can see room for them. As a result, the alternative symbols (!@#$%^&(), etc.) are not placed where you'd anticipate. There are also special buttons for ?!/@ in unusual places, which is both thoughtful and annoying simultaneously.I have read many complaints about the integration of shift and function keys with other keyboards. On this they work as they should - one press engages shift or function for one key press, and a double-press locks the shift or function key until you press it again. They also have LED's for shift and function so you know which one is engaged.If you are using the keyboard at night, there is an odd delay between your first button presses and the keyboard backlight. Sometimes it's quick and other times it can take as long as 5 seconds to turn on.Integration with iOS is pretty good but not perfect. You will immediately appreciate the additional screen space for texting and writing emails. However, certain apps are not built with a keyboard in mind (like Amazon or REI) so the design breaks slightly when searching and in other menus.If you can handle the bulk, I highly recommend this case to people who hate auto-correct as much as I do!

先にレビューで評価の高かった別メーカーの物を買いましたが、イマイチだったので乗り換えました。大変満足しています。・キーボードはクリック感が強く非常に押しやすい・キーは密着しているがキー間にスリットが入ってい て問題ない・J,Kには小さいが突起が付いていてブラインドタッチ可能・バックライトが付いて暗闇で見やすい・shift,fn,cmdは押し続けなくても一度押しで一文字保持、二度押しで連続保持され数字入力も楽、保持状態はLEDで確認可能・電源スイッチで、on/off/バックライトonが可能・ソフトキーボードon/offの専用キーが側面押しやすいが、打鍵音が大きい （公共の場では使い辛い）・白バージョンは無い****評価変更****boxwaveの最新バージョンであるバックライトエディションを購入したところ、そちらの完成度が上でしたので評価をひとつ下げました。

なかなかiPhoneの良さを実感できずにいました。思いついたことで少々長い文章をその時に素早く書きとめるには、タッチ式の入力には無理がありました。このツールは素早く以前よりストレスを感じること無く、長文を打つことができます。Evernoteを使っていますが、画面上７−８行表示されますので前後の文脈を確認しながらの入力も容易です。iPad2をもう少しでぽちっとするところでしたが、このキーボードを使ってから決めようとした判断が良かったです。だいたい200字以上の文を打っていますが、この大きさと重さを考えれば使いごこちは良い方だと思います。まだチョット慣れない部分もあります。予測で出てきた文字をキャンセルする方法がつかめていません。それとUの字をなかなか一発で打てないことがありましたが、3日目でコツをつかめましたのでほぼクリアしました。おかげでiPhone4が自分の良き友となりました。

以前使っていたものは本体とキーボードの間にがたつきがあり、打ちにくいことからこちらに乗り換えました。非常に堅牢なつくりで、大満足です。ペアリングは１回行えば、大丈夫です。以前使っていたものはしょっちゅう切れて、その都度爪楊枝でリセットをかける必要がありましたので、1回セットすればキーボードを引き出すと即座につながり入力できるのは感動ものでした。キーボードそのものよくできていると思います。柔らかすぎず堅すぎずといった感じです。同じような商品でよく指摘される、本体と一番上の列のキーボードが干渉して打ちにくいよく言われますが、この商品に関しては私は問題はありませんでした。　欠点を挙げるとすると、まず少々重いということでしょうか。寝転びながら打っていると重い上にバランスが悪くてちょっとつらいですね。あと日本語の解説はついてきません。日本語入力と英字入力の切り替えにしばし悩みました。（cmdキー+スペースできりかえる）他社より少々値段が高いですが、その価値はあると思います。

On ne se rend pas compte dans la vidéo de présentation (sur leur site officiel), mais la coque épaissie vraiment l'iPhone, on à presque le double en épaisseur au final.La connectivité Bluetooth est vraiment élégante, j'ai honnêtement pas ressentit l'impact sur la batterie de mon iPhone, qui continue de faire toute la journée sans broncher. La batterie interne du clavier tient vachement longtemps aussi, je l'utilise très souvent (avec l'appli iSSH) et je pense devoir le charger au pire une fois par semaine. Le clavier prend tout son sens dans les applications d'Apple comme iMessages ou le clavier NuuKey peut se substituer au clavier tactile (grâce a une touche discrète sur la tranche droite), ce qui laisse plus d'espace à l'écran, c'est vraiment pas négligeable.Les boutons et connectiques de l'iPhone restent accessible. La mise en place se fait très facilement et je reste bluffé sur la manière dont le tout reste ensemble. La coque peut faire office de coque, j'ai laissé tombé 3 ou 4 fois mon iPhone, manque de pot toutes les fois c'est tombé sur le même coin (haut gauche) et ce morceau de la coque est partie, ce qui ne gène en rien l'utilisation et le maintien de l'iPhone (d'ailleurs je ne l'ai pas vite remarqué).

funciona correctamente y es muy practicoquizás la única pega es que es demasiado voluminoso y dobla el tamaño del iPhonerecomendable
