Typo 2 – Typing Experience Pairing the Typo 2 with the smartphone via Bluetooth is quick and straightforward, and a handy user guide included in the packaging explains how to use the various buttons (or combinations) to maximum effect. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth connection puts a large strain on the actual phone’s battery, and we found power levels decreasing quickly. Typing is typically quicker on a physical keyboard than on a digital one, and the Typo 2 keeps up the tradition. My fingers have a long history of being rather clumsy – learning to play a short excerpt of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre on the keyboard took weeks of practice at school – but the Typo 2 is easy to use. The spacebar is the only button on the Typo 2 that lies completely flat, with all others sticking out at a slight angle, making it easier for your fingers to distinguish individual keys. The odd typo aside, the dinky little buttons are easy to navigate and speedy to type with, and make a lovely little clicking sound when they’re pushed.

However, apparently not everyone is a fan of the noise, with one TrustedReviews member of staff likening it to lots of knuckles being simultaneously cracked. What isn’t so quick is the backspace function. Holding it down doesn’t speed up deletion, so you’ll have to be patient when erasing your errors. Caps and alt lock are easy to get your head around, and locking the entire keyboard is simple enough, though you’ll have to remember to do this every time you lock your iPhone, which is a hassle.

If you forget, your pocket will almost certainly press a few keys for you, and you’ll run the risk of accidentally locking yourself out of your phone by entering a load of incorrect passcodes. The backlight is nice and strong, but the keys remain lit for about 15 seconds after the phone is locked, which is another thing to get irritated about. There’s a entire key dedicated to world currencies but, bizarrely, it only offers up $, Yen, and the trademark symbol, despite the fact that the Typo 2 is also targeted at UK consumers. Since this is a product apparently designed to function as an “indispensable business tool”, failing to bring basics like £ and € to the table is quite the oversight. Bankers, lawyers and other such high-fliers would not be impressed.

Fortunately, it’s easy to unpair, so you can still fall back on the phone’s own native, digital haul of symbols. Should I buy the Typo 2? I was rather looking forward to using the Typo 2 keyboard for the iPhone 6, but it’s left me thoroughly disappointed. While it certainly makes a strong visual impression and its physical keys enable you to type more quickly, the benefits it brings are vastly outweighed by the drawbacks. It’s large, heavy and a little bit of a nuisance.

Having to disable the keyboard every time you lock your iPhone is a real pain in the backside, and the hardware restricts access to the volume and power buttons, as well as the bottom part of the display. If you really, really want to supplement your iPhone with a BlackBerry-style physical keyboard, and have a spare wad of cash lying around, go for it. Otherwise, don’t. It’s not worth $99. Alternatively, go buy a BlackBerry. Verdict A nice idea, but the drawbacks outweigh the positives.
