perhaps only a few times a year, if I only use 4 hours a day. &nbsp;Though I don&#8217;t see using the Wekey Keyboard everyday &#8211; I prefer the touch and feel of a full-size keyboard. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18556\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18556 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=388%2C690&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wekey Keyboard (19)\" width=\"388\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=150%2C267&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?resize=600%2C1067&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2016\/05\/Wekey-Keyboard-19.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I do keep it in my backpack, ready to go at a moment&#8217;s notice. &nbsp;It&#8217;s so thin&nbsp;and lightweight,&nbsp;I can take it anywhere and have the flexibility of having it with me, just in case I need&nbsp;type up something (much easier than the little keyboard on my phone!)<\/p>\n<p>The touch takes some getting used to. &nbsp;Although the keys are slightly raised, there is no physical indication that the key has been pressed. &nbsp;You can hear an audible beep though every time a key is touched. &nbsp;This can be helpful&#8230;or annoying. &nbsp;Fortunately, there is a way to turn down or off this sound.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water resistant &#8211;
