Best keyboard for 7-8 inch tablet?

[AnitaPeterson]

Hi folks,

With the new small form factor Win8 tablets (like the Miix2, W4, Venue8 Pro), I was wondering what kind of keyboard (and perhaps even mice) combos y'all are using.

For such a small tablet I'd say a small Logitech Unifying keyboard would be great (allowing for a mouse to be added into the equation as well)... but I'm not sure that Logitech makes small enough keyboards (the smallest I've seen are for 10-inch tablets...)

That leaves mostly Bluetooth keyboards... are there any good, reliable brands, which are small enough to be carried along with the tablet, and don't have connection trouble or weak battery life?

I use Motorola keyboard with the tracking point (instead of mouse/trackpad) with my Note 8 (yes, I know, not Windows. but it should work).

That's the exact item but I bought it refurb in a white box from DailySteals (or something similar) for ~$20. Works perfectly. It's slim and light and I always carry it in my bag.

Looks good and quite small! Thanks for the input!

Anyone else?

I use a Microsoft Comfort Bluetooth Keyboard

Along with a Microsoft Laser Bluetooth mouse that's a bit older.

I only use them at home though, when the Surface is on a laptop table away from me. I always use my touch cover or the onscreen keyboard if it's close.

So it's not really portable. Though I have two of the mice and I keep one in my bag. Logitech makes a keyboard that's a little more portable and includes a stand for tablets. This one:

I have the Motorola KZ450 which looks exactly like this but also has a cover that folds into a stand. Not sure if the linked one above has that cover (it's not pictured).

I love the Motorola KZ450 because the cover is really handy. It snaps over the keyboard and protects it while traveling and quickly folds into a stand for the tablet when typing.

Another BT keyboard I like a lot is the Logitech K810. It's a bigger keyboard, but has really nice feeling keys, is backlit, and pair to three difference devices at once. It's definitely a better keyboard than the KZ450, but lacks the convenience of having it's own stand (I have individual tablet stands, but it's not the same).
