Design and options
The Mokibo Fusion keyboard is offered in 3 variations. There’s the common model that I’ll be speaking about, and there are variations sized for the 11 inch iPad and 12.9 inch iPad. They’re additionally obtainable in black or white. I used to be despatched the white model which has a lightweight gray non-removable cowl.
Whenever you open the duvet, you’ll uncover that it may well fold right into a stand. Embedded magnets maintain it on this place.
The low-profile keyboard is compact, however it’s roomy sufficient for me to the touch sort with out quite a lot of issue. The format can also be positive so far as the situation of the the “/” key, backspace, and quotes. There’s even a devoted operate key row with media controls, and gadget pairing buttons.
The Mokibo Fusion keyboard has multi-device connectivity so as to pair with as much as 3 gadgets through Bluetooth 5.1. It additionally has Multi-OS help and is appropriate with iOS, macOS, Home windows, Android, and Linux. I examined this keyboard with an iPhone 15 Max Professional, an iPad, and the OnePlus Open Android folding smartphone.
What units this cellular keyboard other than all different cellular keyboards is the built-in touchpad. The place is it? It’s constructed into the keys themselves. This can be extra comprehensible when you watch the video under, the place I display it. You need to use this contact space to scroll, choose, and even make multi-finger gestures like zooming out and in.
Let’s see how effectively the contact performance labored out for me.
Testing the Mokibo Fusion keyboard with the iPhone
The very first thing it’s important to do with the intention to use the touchpad function is activate Assitive Contact within the Accessiblity settings. When you do this, you’ll see a small cursor (there’s a small gray dot within the picture above) that you could simply transfer round on the display screen by calmly dragging your finger round on the keyboard.
Scrolling works fairly effectively if you use two fingers to scroll up and down by lengthy screens. You can too click on/activate a hyperlink similar to utilizing a mouse by tapping on a hyperlink or urgent the button between the cut up house bar.
However sadly, the gestures didn’t work in any respect for me, which is gloomy.
Testing the Mokibo Fusion keyboard with the iPad
I had a greater expertise utilizing the Mokibo Fusion keyboard with my iPad than with the iPhone. Just like the iPhone, you do must activate Assistive Contact within the iPadOS settings with the intention to get the touchpad function to be lively.
I used to be even capable of get the Zoom gesture to work. Nevertheless, that’s concerning the extent of the gestures that I might get to work. Not one of the different gestures did something for me.
Testing the Mokibo Fusion keyboard with the OnePlus Open
I had the identical expertise with this Android telephone as I did with the iPhone. Scrolling and shifting the cursor labored positive, however the gestures didn’t work. Word that you just don’t must activate any particular accessibility options on Android. When paired with the keyboard, the mouse performance simply works.

What I like concerning the Mokibo Fusion keyboard
- Cell pleasant
- Constructed-in folding stand
- Constructed-in touchpad performance
What must be improved?
- Gestures don’t work very effectively on any gadget I examined
Remaining ideas
The Mokibo Fusion keyboard is okay as a keyboard. It’s skinny and light-weight, and there’s a built-in stand that doubles as the duvet. However if you begin making an attempt to make use of the primary attraction of this keyboard – the touchpad – issues collapse for me. Sure, scrolling works fairly effectively more often than not, however I used to be hard-pressed to get the gestures to work on any gadget I attempted. So, for that motive, I can’t suggest this keyboard for an Android or iPhone when there so many cheaper and even smaller cellular keyboards available on the market. For an iPad, I’d relatively save my cash to purchase an Apple Magic Keyboard with an actual built-in touchpad.
