Violet Furnishings Inc B003B Black

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

A foldable design with a built-in touchpad and dual-mode wired/Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity makes this keyboard a portable solution for mobile typing across a 10-meter range. Its scissor-switch keys and updated two-button touchpad deliver a comfortable typing experience, though the touchpad lacks iOS support. This is best for Windows and Android tablet users who need a compact, rechargeable keyboard for basic navigation and text input on the go.

Snapshot

The 30-Second Version

The Violet Furnishings Inc B003B folds up nice and has a touchpad, but it's running Bluetooth 3.0 and has terrible battery life. Performance is in the bottom 10 percent. Only buy this if you need a cheap wired keyboard for occasional use and don't care about wireless.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Folds up small for easy travel
  • Dual mode USB wired and Bluetooth connection
  • Built-in touchpad with two mouse buttons
  • Works with Windows, Android, and Mac OS

Cons

  • Bluetooth 3.0 is outdated and slow
  • Touchpad doesn't work on iOS
  • Battery life is one of the worst we've seen
  • Build quality is disappointing

The proof

Performance

Performance is where this keyboard really struggles. Our database puts it in the 10th percentile for performance, which means it's near the bottom of the barrel. Bluetooth 3.0 is slow and power-hungry compared to Bluetooth 5.0 or newer. The scissor-switch keys are described as comfortable, but that's the manufacturer talking. We haven't seen any benchmark data to back that up. The touchpad is a nice idea, but it's not compatible with iOS, which kills it for a huge chunk of potential buyers. The 10-meter operating distance is fine for a living room setup, but don't expect to type from across the house.

vs Competition

This is a weird comparison because the top competitors listed are all phones, not keyboards. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Google Pixel 7 Pro, Motorola Edge 2024, Apple iPhone 14 Plus, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G are all smartphones. That tells me the product data is a mess, but it also highlights a real issue. This keyboard is meant to pair with devices like those phones, but the Bluetooth 3.0 connection will feel sluggish compared to what those phones are capable of. The iPhone 14 Plus won't even get touchpad support. If you're buying a keyboard for a modern phone or tablet, you want something with Bluetooth 5.0 or better. This isn't it.

Value & Pricing

There's no price listed for this product, so it's hard to judge value directly. But the CAD 102 listing we found is not exactly cheap for a keyboard with Bluetooth 3.0 and a 9th percentile battery score. You can get a decent foldable keyboard with modern Bluetooth and better battery life for around the same money. The dual mode USB wired connection is a nice fallback, but it doesn't make up for the outdated wireless tech. If you find this thing on deep discount, maybe. Otherwise, keep looking.

Overview

The Violet Furnishings Inc B003B is a foldable Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in touchpad. It's aimed at people who want a compact typing solution for tablets, phones, and laptops. The foldable design is the main selling point, and it does fold up small enough to toss in a bag. But the specs here are thin, and our database scores tell a rough story. This thing lands in the bottom 10 percent for performance and battery. That's not a great start.

It does have a 4.5-star rating from four whole reviews, so the few people who bought it seem happy. But four reviews is a tiny sample. The keyboard uses Bluetooth 3.0, which is ancient by today's standards. It also has a USB wired mode, which is nice. The touchpad has two mouse buttons now, which is an update from older versions. Just don't expect it to work on iOS, because it doesn't.

Common Questions

Q: Does the touchpad work with iPads and iPhones?

No. The manufacturer clearly states the touchpad does not work on iOS. You can still type on an iPad or iPhone via Bluetooth, but you'll need to use the screen for navigation.

Q: Can I use this keyboard with a desktop PC that doesn't have Bluetooth?

Yes, but only with the included USB cable in wired mode. For wireless use on a PC without Bluetooth, you'll need to buy a separate third-party Bluetooth adapter, which is not included.

Q: How long does the battery last on a charge?

The manufacturer doesn't list a specific battery life, and our database scores battery at the 9th percentile, which is one of the worst we've seen. Expect to charge this thing frequently, especially if you use it wirelessly.

Who Should Skip This

Skip this if you use an iPhone or iPad as your main device. The touchpad won't work on iOS, and Bluetooth 3.0 will feel laggy. Also skip it if you need long battery life for travel or work. The battery score is abysmal. If you want a modern wireless experience, look for a foldable keyboard with Bluetooth 5.0 or newer and a trackpad that actually works across platforms.

Verdict

This keyboard is for someone who needs a foldable keyboard with a touchpad and doesn't care about modern Bluetooth or battery life. Maybe you're setting up a Raspberry Pi project or need a cheap keyboard for a server rack. The USB wired mode saves it from being completely useless. But for everyday typing on a tablet or phone, there are better options out there. The foldable design is cool, but it's not enough to overcome the outdated tech inside.
