Matias Folding Keyboard- number pad but still portable

I think I have used just about every mobile keyboard out there but this new one from Matias looks pretty darn useful.  The keyboard is not only full sized but also sports a number pad for data entry.  The Matias Folding Keyboard folds in half for transport so it won’t be as small as some other keyboards but the functionality is that of a full desktop keyboard so it may be worth the additional size.  The Folding Keyboard is a USB keyboard and should be available in mid-December for purchase for $60.  The folded dimensions are                    10.08” x 5” x 1.18” so it’s still small enough to throw in a gear bag when you head out the door.
