Feels even cheaper than the last folding keyboard I bought through Amazon only a few months ago. Chinese manufacturing quality seems to be tanking rapidly over only a couple of years. The original folding keyboard (labeled i-Clever) had a sturdy aluminum housing, good key switches, and it lasted over a year and a half, until the battery finally crapped out (now doesn't even hold a charge to run it if it's plugged in). Then i bought a similar folding keyboard (under the label Omikamo) that was essentially the same design as the previous, but with some aesthetic changes, and the charging port upgraded to USB-C - but instead of metallic housing, it was plastic. Still, it felt reasonably sturdy, and the key-presses felt good. Yet it only lasted 3 months before it started having weird issues where in increasing selection of certain keys would not register unless I held typed around them for several minutes (basically wasting time typing gibberish into a document just to get the R,F,A,Q,Z,C,4,Tab, and L-Shift to work. Loose connection? CCP-installed keystroke logger conflicting with the firmware? Idk. Bought this one to replace that previous unit. This one labeled ProtoArc, and still definitely from a related factory, if not the same one - but THIS unit feels flimsiest of all. Since the whole point of a folding keyboard is to be portably, it seems counter-intuitive that I feel hesitant to bring it with me anywhere, for fear of damaging it in transit. I feel like I could have dropped the previous two units from table height multiple times, but I have to open and close this one delicately for fear that the the hinges will break. But the keys are still working after a couple of months, even though they initially had trouble registering keystrokes unless I typed very aggresively. They are "wearing in" to feel better and not require so much brute force, so I upgraded my review to a 3 (was going to be a two). For now. If this thing fails within anything less than a year, I will come back and downgrade the rating appropriately. For over 50 bucks each time I replace these things, I will just buy an ultra-slim *non-folding* keyboard from a reputable brand. The extra hassle of shoving a full-length keyboard into my bag will be worth the peace of mind that I won't have to waste money replacing it every few months. But we'll see. If this unit, flimsy though it feels, manages to last a year, I'll consider giving it a 4-star rating.
