I used an 8” Dell Windows tablet (tablet and case on the left and just look at those thick bezels!) with small BT keyboard for a while several years ago. I decided to try the keyboard with the Mini 6 to see if it works. Even though it only has Windows and Android settings, it paired easily and it worked, including the trackpad. I’m not claiming the trackpad is fast or as responsive as one on a good portable but it’s functional. The keys are small but I’ve used all sorts of small and strange keyboards through the years. It doesn’t have dedicated number or function keys. In a pinch, it’s usable and I already had it on hand.
The MS folding keyboard is more portable and has larger keys and dedicated number and function keys, but the split in the middle takes some getting used to and it doesn’t have a trackpad or wrist rest.
I don’t know how often I will use the Mini 6 with a keyboard, but it is interesting to try it since I already had both.
Years ago, I made a sleeve/cover for my Kindle Keyboard that had room for a reading light and I hung on to it because I like the fabric. Turns out that it’s the perfect size for the Mini 6 in a folio cover, including room for the attached pencil with a flap over it. I made it with a dense, stiff interfacing so there’s some protection. It even has a side pocket for small accessories.
