GoldtouchGo!2 Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard - PC & Mac GTP-0044W Plus Jestik Microfiber Cloth - Value Bundle

Love this keyboard - my wrists and elbows don't hurt anymore - super easy to adjust to the angles that work best for you, and I've used it for weeks without having to recharge the battery - though I do top it up weekly, because I don't want to run out during my long work days. Super portable.

I'm a software developer and suffer from carpal tunnel-like symptoms stemming from static tension. This keyboard has resolved all my issues allowing me to work in a more relaxed and more ergonomic posture. I did need to get adjustable palm rests otherwise the keyboard is useless to me. *My requirements for an ergonomic keyboard: portable, standard key layout for sharing my station with others, split & tilt, can work on the lap when needed. Because of these requirements my effort with kinesis products didn't work out, but this keyboard fit the bill (and is actually cheaper!)Many people seem to have connectivity issues with this keyboard, but they are easily fixed if you just look in the Goldtouch FAQ. Unfortunately, my issue was actually a faulty keyboard. Goldtouch agreed the keyboard was probably faulty and sent me a new one which worked flawlessly.Be aware the magnets which keep the keyboard closed while folded (the little feet) are strong enough to trigger sleep if you overlay this keyboard on an open Macbook Pro (mine is 2011) so you have access to the touchpad. So I just clamshell the laptop and put the keyboard on top, and this is fine because I use a vertical mouse when possible anyway.

I've used Goldtouch keyboards for well over a decade. Goldtouch V1, Goldtouch V2, the first Goldtouch Portable (GTP-0055), and this piece of junk, Goldtouch Go!2.The first three were/are nicely done. I upgraded to the V2 from the V1 because I wanted the keys for working on an Apple Macbook. I ordered the Go!2 to replace my beloved Goldtouch Portable - only because the Portable has the Ctrl key is a bad spot for Mac users. The Go!2 has a nice layout for the Ctrl keys, but the Esc key is in the wrong location! In fact, all the top row function keys have been shifted left one place and that creates a typing nightmare!Key feel is bad. The keys feel 'dirty/gritty' compared to the Portable which has a nice clean chiclet keypress.Then there is the poorly done bluetooth connectivity:Lots of disconnects and repeating keys. I'm using this with a 2014 Macbook Pro 15" system. I have it operating in 'mac' mode. It is a piece of junk. I get over a dozen disconnects per day. Prior to the disconnect I get the experience of the keyboard getting stuck on a repeating key.They keyboard is too dangerous to use as the repeating key function can wipe out work - when it gets stuck on a backspace!

I have used and lived Gold Touch wired keyboards for 20 years and they last me10 years. Last time I replaced one the reviews on the wireless were not great so I bought another wired one. This time I hoped they had the issue worked out well enough, but no.Before I started trying to use the keyboard I tried to follow the instructions for connecting it. Even in the quick start guide there was stuff about starting by knowing what Bluetooth equipment is in my computer and installing updates for it. I spent a bunch of time trying to match the equipment information on my machine with equipment information on the manufacturer website and I could not even find things that were formatted the same way. I finally called my tech support guy. We decided to try connecting the keyboard without that step and circle back if it didn't work. It was not necessary to circle back. It was just a giant waste of time. They should only have people do that if at first they don't succeed.Once the keyboard was connected I started trying to use it. It was much more difficult to balance on my laptop than the wired ones have been--always pressing buttons. Then I noticed the up arrow key. It was not lieing flat with the other keys and often did not work when I pressed it. That is the reason I am returning the keyboard.I also did not like the key action or the layout. I am used to the slightly odd layout of the wired version, and my touch typing skills were not always finding the right keys.I will be getting another of the wired version. I still wish there were a laptop cover that would make it even easier to set the keyboard on top without pressing keys. I also wish there was a protective carry case for the keyboard when I need to put it in my backpack.The way the wired version of the Gold Touch keyboard has failed for me is, after 10 years, the adjustment locking mechanism breaks.

I really like this keyboard and needed to replace my old goldtouch which died due to kids being kids. This new one has intermittent connectivity issues every ~15 minutes where I have to turn it off and on again to get it to work with my macbook M3 pro. Its incredibly frustrating.

The concept of this keyboard is great. Goldtouch is the "gold standard," and I was excited to be able to possibly have one for travel. But the keys are in such odd places it takes a while to do things -- I'm a touch typist who prefers function keys over a mouse, and I feel that this is just burdensome. If it were my primary keyboard it would be less of an issue, as I could train my fingers / brain where things are. But the problem is many of the keys are just nowhere close to where they are on any other keyboard, and I'm just not sure it is worth it.

I have wired versions of this that I use at home and at the office, which I've had for years. I purchased this one since I had the need to work while on trips away from the office/home, and the "home/office" wired version, are a bit too heavy and take up quite a bit of space when packing. I ordered this one because it is fairly lightweight, and can be folded up compactly and is easy to pack/carry. Works great with my laptop.
