Are those 49-key mini bluetooth keyboards any good?

These things.

I'm guessing based on how the keys look, they're on the rubbery side of things, but then, I've got a mini bluetooth keyboard that went for way too stiff metal domes, and that sucked, too. Rubbery doesn't necessarily have to mean horrible, after all. But, it IS super China, so... are they any good?

I have one. Two, actually, because one arrived with broken keys (might be a good signal of their quality!). They're really pretty bad. The layout is pretty awkward. Feel incredibly mushy (but I have sausage fingers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DtbPOXFk00).

But, they are cheap - mine was about €7 from Hong Kong on eBay. They're no Model F, but if you want something small that fits in your pocket beside your phone then they do the job. For a few euro, it's worth a shot. Depends on your use case, I suppose!

Incredibly mushy is what I was worried about. Alright, I'll look elsewhere, then.

of course not
but that's not their purpose. they are small and work via bluetooth

But if I'm better off just using the Swype-clone stock Android keyboard, I'll just keep doing that.
