Here is a wireless Bluetooth keyboard that folds into a phone-sized package

Bluetooth wireless keyboards are still a rarity and that’s a bit weird given how huge the mobile market has grown, but still there are some options to get typing quickly on your phone. This one however is probably the most portable keyboard we have ever seen.

With a neat sliding mechanism right in the middle, this keyboard, romantically named the Elecom TK-FBP049E, splits in two and folds into a package as small as the phone itself. Unfold it and it doubles as a phone stand. Of course, it works with all devices supporting Bluetooth, be it the iPhone, an Android, Windows Phone or any other smartphone.

The little keyboard is powered by a single AAA battery, that would keep it running for 8 months. It comes in both a black and white version.

Should you buy it? The answer is probably no as it costs a whopping $182, and you’d have to ship it from Japan. Still, the idea is definitely inspiring.
