Thank you for making this review. The ReMarkable site isn't showing all too clear in their promotion videos on how the Type Folio actually connects. This review shows it very well. Placed my order.

I typed 10, 000 words on my remarkable screen and was praying for this to come out.

[IvanGumy]

Bought one as someone who really works as they advertise. Just me and my thoughts, without any research and googling around (I have another time for that).
This fits my needs to write articles perfectly, because I write more and more and ended up writing shorter notes by hand to expand on them later on PC.
*Price is definitely too high, but this time I'll let it slip, even tho I am a big fan.

Can you show your hands typing with the text going on at the same time? I want to know how responsive it is to typing and how much lag it has

[footballexpert]

Very cool. But this price is really a joke! that would be a fair price for the Remarkable itself

[kathrynebaldwin]

Does anyone have any comments about whether the keyboard interferes if you are just handwriting on the remarkable itself? Does it feel bulky at all?

[RicBret]

I'm gonna give it a try. I especially like the 'hidden' nature of the keyboard in the folio. I'm suspicious as to how well the magnetic lock for the pen will work, because things get knocked off. Also worried that it's too small in width for me to actually type. But the Remarkable return policy gives me confidence that I can return it if it just doesn't work out.

I have just bought one today (17/08/2023). I thought £179 was too steep. As I was looking at the folio keyboard on the website I received a £40 ($50 USD) discount offer. So I have pulled the trigger, after all I have 100 days to return it if I don't like it, it's going back. Having used their hardware in the Remarkable 1 and 2, I don't expect this to be an issue.

Nice keyboard but definitely not needed. Just another accessory we are told is necessary.

[christopherwatson]

Is it a viable keyboard for typing a novel for example?

[Gybing]

Thanks for showing the product. Looks very slick. How heavy is it? Also can you type on PDF files? Can you type in portrait mode?

[Indrikmyneur]

Does Alt/Option allow to write missing special characters like on Mac?
Can anybody test?

[JoseOrtega-tjni]

Can I use the reMarkable as a word processing documents such as resumes and business letters?

[han_na]

How many languages does keyboard support?

[star_man]

What’s the point of ctrl, opt, and alt? Surely you just need one of those to perform copy, cut, and paste. Also what is ghosting like when correcting typing? Finally do you have that massive palmrest sticking out at the bottom?!

[shutterchick]

I have the Remarkable tablet, and I think this keyboard is a wast of money. The tablet can already convert neat handwriting to text, so there's really very little point in it....

[jamesagerholm]

Like all the other reMarkable cases, there’s no stylus holder.

[luzi]

I would wish for a file format where I can have chapters and then add text to the different chapters. Currently I only have the option to create a pdf and then add my notes. Which makes it really hard to create a nice file. Something like word but different 🤷‍♂️

[Nekotaku_TV]

It's beautiful but way too expensive, even with the discount.
"the typing experience is out of this world", what?

[bdbb]

I would love to try that, but the price is not very affordable. Also, no support for my native language or other languages i'm learning
