My laptop’s keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it’s interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do.

Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I’m thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?

    Probably something small and slim, like the Logitech K380.

    I’d avoid the mechanicals because you’re not typing anything for long and I’m guessing space will be a premium in your backpack. The K380 is thinner than any mechanical, even the slimmer low-profile ones. Plus it’ll be within your budget; anything decent will not be US$50, or even US$100.
