Excellent device.I'm a very long term veteran of Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard line, and the Dictopro provides a decent rendition of that comfort in a hugely portable form-factor.Being broad-shouldered, a split keyboard design is far more comfortable to me, and the improvement over a standard laptop keyboard (technically the Surface Pro Type Cover) is substantial - and my muscle memory between this and an MS Ergonomic in the office is robust.Multi-device pairing and battery life are excellent.The sole drawback I found with the keyboard layout was that the ESC key is relegated to FN+`, but this is very easily remapped in software,If I could have one wish for the next generation, it would be a dedicated row of Function Keys (that could be set to default to F1-12).

It's good, a little pricey and not super-durable, but great if you need an ergonomic keyboard for on the go.
I'm typing this review on it right now, as the first experience I'm having with the keyboard. It is very portable, folded in half for travel it is very thin and lightweight. While it could technically fit in your back pocket, it would be pretty big back there for most people and not very comfortable. Also, it doesn't feel like the most durable thing in the world, sitting on it wouldn't be a good idea.For job and home, I only ever use ergonimc keyboards (the microsoft sculpt series to be specific), and going from that to any straight keyboard really makes you appreciate ergonomic layout. I was using a different folding keyboard for my tablet for a while, and while it's still better than on screen keys, the fn button layout was pretty screwy, and the straight configuration just wasn't cutting it for me.These keys feel good, it's compact, but spaced out enough that I'm not making too many mistakes, and looking at how the fn keys are layed out, seems very sensible. All the punctuation keys are layed out the way they typically are on every other keyboard you've ever used.I can't speak to battery life, will update once I've had some real time with the product. Connectability with my phone and my tablet was as easy as you'd expect.The only things keeping this from a perfect rating are the durability that I mentioned before (I feel like I will have to be carefull with this guy), and I think the price is just a little high. I guess it's the only ergonomic option among it's peers, so there's no competition to drive the price down for us customers that need ergonomics.I would recommend it to true typers that appreciate a split layout, if you're just a index finger typist, there are cheaper options out there that would work just as well.

Terrible Connectivity
I love the size and keyboard layout of this but the terrible connectivity kills it for me. I haven't owned this very long and the 'A' key is already going out and the darn thing loses the Bluetooth connection every minute or so. I'm always having to press keys and wait for it to reconnect before I can move on. It'll just do it in the middle of typing too. That's a total deal breaker.Battery life seems to be pretty good.Too bad, I really wanted this to work.

Angle is great for the wrists, portable and easy set up
I really like this keyboard! It is small, lightweight, easy to use, and charges quickly. The included instructions are easy to follow. I use it with my iPad Pro and it works perfectly. The angle of the keyboard is really great for my wrists. It takes a little getting used to but after a few uses it's pretty natural to use. I have somewhat large hands (about 7 inches from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger) and the keyboard is a fine size, but it might be a bit small for anyone with very large hands or fingers. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a nice little keyboard for travel who also wants something a bit more ergonomic.

Truly Disappointed
When I first received this product, I was excited to use it. The simple & compact design made it appealing & very easy to take along with me. It quickly connected to my iPad and worked great for first few weeks. Then, stopped connecting, or would drop connection easily. Which is frustrating when you are in the middle of typing a document. Also, since there is no on/off button, there’s no real way of knowing if it is off. No matter how much I charge it, it never seems to hold a charge. This was a waste of money

Annoying to use, constantly disconnects.. keys don't match Mac keys enough
**** UPDATE**: Dictopro customer service contacted me and after troubleshooting, It now only unpairs after a long time of not being used, which is to be expected. Thankfully, it repairs within 1 sec after typing any key. 1 Star has been added. Now I'm looking for the OPT-Enter fix to create a second line in an excel cell. Update on this is TBD ****I was very excited about getting a wireless bluetooth keyboard for my Mac. But I was left a little disappointed.Things I liked:- Ergonomic- Light and compact- Good key build- magnetic enclosure, when closed- Can connect to 3 different bluetooth devices (Storing memory of the device, so its easy to repair)Things I didn't like:- Mac keys don't have corresponding keys on the keyboard: Command, WIN, FN, Control, and Escape have limited functions to the Mac (Cannot create a second line in Excel by hitting alt-Enter), ESC requires hitting FN-Shift-ESC- Constantly unpairing from my Mac while typing (or after not using the keyboard after only a few seconds), but then reconnects after hitting some keys. It really is annoying when it keeps stopping your flow every 10mins.- Sometimes unpairs and cannot repair for several minutes (Not due to a battery issue... I checked this)- Keyboard must lie on a flat surface otherwise it flops in the middle.I would really love this keyboard if it stopped disconnecting several times, every 10-15 minutes and the keys better translated to a Mac. I'm guessing the keys wouldn't be an issue on a PC?
