Review: Great little keyboard

I wanted a bluetooth keyboard for my Kindle Fire HD. I tried a couple of the cases that have built-in keyboards, but I didn't like the typing angle, and the frame around the keyboard was too restrictive, so I made too many typos.This little keyboard is really nice. The keys are responsive, and the size is good for the size of my hands. I have large hands for a woman, so the smaller keyboards cause me to make quite a few typos. This one is just fine. It pairs easily. (Well, unless the batteries need to be replaced--took me awhile to figure that out, duh.) You move a switch in the back and press the connection button, then wait for the pairing code to appear on the Fire, enter that on the keyboard, and you're done.It's light, very easy to carry around.This stand-alone keyboard isn't totally flat, is raised a bit in the back, which makes the typing angle better. The touch is responsive, lighter than a regular keyboard but easy to get used to.It doesn't come with a case, but I found a long rectangular mesh/net bag I'd gotten a gift or something in, and it's a perfect size. I carry keyboard and Fire in a padded bag, so if you wanted to carry the keyboard on its own, you might want a bit more padding.I treat it gently, but it seems pretty sturdy. I've had it for 4-5 months, and the keys are still responsive, and seem to be firmly affixed. Takes a couple of AAA batteries, which I just replaced this week. So the keyboard isn't a power hog. I like that it takes batteries, so that I don't have to remember to recharge it.I haven't tried it with other devices, so can't speak to that.I like the keyboard and would buy it again, plus I'd give it as a gift.
