I reviewed the reMarkable 2 writing tablet in April 2022. This amazing device surprised me with its phenomenal build quality and authentic feel. Furthermore, the battery life was incredible, and taking notes was a cinch. However, the device wasn’t suitable for every task and the subscription cost was off-putting. Thankfully, the team behind reMarkable solved both these issues by reducing the monthly fee and releasing the reMarkable Type Folio keyboard.
This stunning addition not only looks fantastic, but it is built to last and it’s user-friendly. What’s more, it features full-size letter keys and has 1.3mm of key travel. As such, it is comfortable to use and lightweight. Moreover, the addition of a keyboard completes this workstation while removing many of the niggling shortcomings.
Design features of the reMarkable Type Folio keyboard.
You may worry that it’ll be fiddly to use. Well, worry not, as it is easy to connect to the reMarkable 2 using magnets. Accordingly, you do not need to connect to it or upgrade your device. What’s more, unlike other small format keyboards, this one requires no charging.
Once connected, you may use it like a traditional keyboard, or lay it flat on a surface. Either way, this makes the reMarkable 2 the perfect device for both handwritten and typed documents. Alongside this, the reMarkable Folio Type keyboard automatically detects when the keyboard is connected. Subsequently, it auto-rotates the screen and allows a seamless transition from written to typed notes.
