It even comes equipped with decent size keys laid out familiarly ensuring an effortless typing experience and comfortable typing experience!
In addition, the Bubble Square features a small slot at its top to hold smartphones; although this feature is convenient, a larger opening would have been preferred. Furthermore, silicone strips on all four corners ensure it remains securely in place during use; additionally there is an AAA cell battery compartment located near its center which also houses a slot for USB connector. Lastly, an on/off toggle switch on top side powers on and off keyboard.
Portronics Bubble Square keyboard weighs in at approximately 640 grams, though many users might still find its full-sized nature acceptable.

The keyboard features useful shortcut keys (hotkeys) that allow users to easily switch music tracks, adjust volume levels, access email accounts and other features directly from their keyboard, increasing its functionality. A number pad provides another significant benefit – especially for users who regularly work with numbers.

Portronics asserts that a single AAA battery can last nearly one year in their keyboard, which enters sleep mode after not being used for 10 minutes to conserve battery life and easily wakes back up by striking any key.
