A lack of VScode limits the productivity.
My fire tablet serves secondary duties to my Pixel 4 XL, as a screen to watch documentaries until I pass out in bed, and reading the occasional book / article. I wanted something to help prop up my tablet in bed, and to let me chat with my friends on discord a bit faster than the crappy on-screen keyboard would allow.This keyboard makes for an obvious contender, whilst not wrapping the tablet in some obtuse fabric cover like some of fintie's other offerings.Casing: The keyboard comes in two pieces, the keyboard and hinge assembly, and the case within which your tablet is now entombed. this is required as the bottom of the case is extended to allow for a magnet and hole arrangement, through which part of the key board's hinge assembly will be inserted. This allows the tablet to be removed near-effortlessly, no wires or anything else to get in the way. My only gripe is that one odge of my tablet is now thicker, and looks a bit asymmetrical within the case.Hingle: functionally, you can think of it like a cheaper laptop hinge. it has no detents for the tablet to lock into, just a very stiff but smooth rotating action, allowing you to open it to exactly the angle you desire. (very useful for my bed-watching since I won't want the screen tilted past 90 degrees..) Additionally, closing the hinge also locks the tablet... but opening it doesn't immediately bring you to the unlock keypad, instead requiring at least 1 tap of the screen.keyboard: I have a few qualms about the arrangement of the keyboard, for example the function key occupying the corner space that control rightly deserves to occupy, or that using the brightness control buttons will disable adaptive brightness (and potentially lead to the screen being left too bright and reducing battery life). I also wish the backspace key was just a touch longer, although I'm unsure how to do that without compromising the other keys' sizing; the keyboard being smaller means my hands are rotated inwards, and my muscle-memory to reach for the backspace key now hits the plus key.connectivity: it connects via bluetooth. press fn + c to enter pairing mode, the keys are actually marked out and if you've used the alt-modes on a ti-83 calculator, you'll guess this one pretty easily. the keyboard is pretty instant for sending commands to the tablet; I cannot discern any latency or lag with this keyboard. it doesn't interfere with the connectivity of the tablet itself, wifi, bluetooth, or even the wireless charging functionality.As always, I recommend pairing this with the plus model fire tablet (preferably with the Google play store also installed). it seems optimized around split screen usage, and I cannot argue against the utility of having two apps open at once when trying to be productive, and the extra gb of ram will really help.I really like this keyboard, it actually does significantly impact how I use this tablet, and really increases the utility of my tablet.

So many great features, spoiled by a defective keyboard
Updated review:B, G, and space key are dead. They died within 3 months, and Amazon wouldn't recognize the 1 year warranty that was on the package I bought so, it all just sits, collecting dust now...Original review:Bought as a bundle with fire 10 and keyboard together as one ASIN number.I don't understand why Samsung and Apple haven't included these features:Qi charging means I can just put it on a charger pad anywhere in the house without having to grab a cable, flip it from side to side to remember which side has the charger port - and then pull out the cable when I need to pick it up. Qi charging means you put it down to charge, you pick it up whenever you need it.And the keyboard clamshell is light, fits perfectly open or closed, and is weighted / hinged so it doesn't fall backward when open on a table. The keyboard feel is great - I can touch-type easily. The Bluetooth battery in the keyboard holds for days of use. And I just tested this last part this evening - for websites and apps that require vertical orientation - you can disconnect the tablet and keyboard and re-connect then backwards to hold the tablet in portrait mode.So if you need a tablet that can be a real workcenter, this is it. Splurge and buy the non-ad-supported version if that's important to you. And if you need apps not in the Amazon store, you can re-install the full Google play store with a little extra work and web-sleauthing for the required files.Come on Samsung and Apple - why are you leaving all this functionality for only Amazon to implement?

Super Easy to Set Up with my Fire HD 10
Love this keyboard (using it right now!). I received it yesterday & I can already say that I am very happy with this purchase. This was so easy to set up that I was amazed. Note that you should fully charge it prior to setting it up. Works great and is very responsive. I especially love that you can scroll up & down pages (using the arrow keys). Another great feature is that it goes to sleep when you close the lid. Turned my tablet into a mini laptop!! Wish I had bought this sooner. The only thing that could make this "outstanding" is if the keys were backlit. Great value for the price. I totally recommend this keyboard.1/29/24 - I am retracting my above review. I am so disappointed as this keyboard no longer works. It won't even turn on for more than a minute. When it does, the keys do not respond with the correct letter or it will type the letter "v" repeatedly. I am going to return this item.
