Practical ways to use a full-size keyboard with Android

I like to have some way to do this while out of the house.

These are ways that I've tested and have found to be practical. But your mileage may vary.

A normal keyboard that supports Bluetooth

One of the easiest options. Ideally the keyboard supports switching between multiple connections.

A folding keyboard

I have the iClever BK05S, and really like it. Each key is full-size, but it's still pretty compact when folded. [current models]

Downsides:   It costs ~$45.

Run Scrcpy, which allows your PC keyboard to function like it's connected directly to the phone

I do two things to make this more convenient:

• Use Flutter-ScrcpyGUI to connect, since it makes it much simpler to connect over Wi-Fi.
• You have to enable Wireless Debugging every time your phone reboots. This is more convenient if you add a "Wireless Debugging" tile to the quick settings.

A USB OTG cable

Upsides:   It's very compact to carry with you, and it works with most keyboards, including Logitech's Unity receiver and other dongles.

It's much more convenient if you can rotate Android's screen upside-down. This way, the OTG cable is positioned at the now-top edge of the phone, and you can place the phone on a stand.

Android apps that allow you to rotate the screen 180°:   [1]
