HOCO GM71 Wireless Folding Keyboard with Bluetooth 5.2

The HOCO GM71 wireless folding keyboard turns any phone or tablet into a proper writing setup. It folds down to roughly the size of a large wallet at 141 × 95 × 18 mm and weighs just 173 g, so it slips into a backpack pocket or laptop sleeve without adding noticeable bulk.

Open it up and you get a full 282 mm typing surface with 67 keys and comfortable spacing — a real improvement over tapping on glass for long emails, lecture notes, or a few paragraphs of writing on the move. Bluetooth 5.2 handles the connection, pairing quickly and staying stable across smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Battery life is where this hoco keyboard stands out: a 180 mAh cell delivers up to 60 hours of typing on a charge that takes only about 2 hours to top up. For most people that means charging it once every few weeks rather than hunting for a cable mid-task.

H2 — Key Features

• Foldable portable design — Collapses from 282 mm to 141 mm wide, so it travels flat in a bag instead of taking up a laptop-sized slot.

• Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connection — Faster pairing, a more stable link, and lower power draw than older Bluetooth versions, which means fewer dropouts mid-sentence.

• 67-key English layout — Keeps the letters, numbers, and essential function keys in familiar positions, so you can type at close to full speed without relearning the layout.

• Up to 60 hours of working time — Long enough for weeks of typical use between charges, so it's ready whenever you pull it out of your bag.

• About 2-hour charging time — A short top-up during lunch or a commute is enough to refill the 180 mAh battery.

• Quiet typing keys — Low-noise key action lets you work in a library, shared office, or a quiet flight without disturbing anyone nearby.

• Lightweight 173 g ABS build — Durable plastic construction that stays light enough to carry daily but firm enough to type on across a lap or café table.

• Broad device compatibility — Works with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices out of the box.

H2 — Why Choose This Wireless Folding Keyboard

Most people buy a portable keyboard for one reason: typing on a touchscreen is slow and tiring for anything longer than a message. The GM71 solves that without asking you to carry a second laptop-sized device. It's a genuine middle ground — full-width keys when open, pocketable when closed.

The 60-hour runtime removes the usual frustration with wireless accessories. You aren't charging it every few days, and because Bluetooth 5.2 is efficient, standby drain stays low between sessions. Pair it once with your phone or tablet and it reconnects on its own.

The quiet key action matters more than it sounds. Students in shared study rooms, professionals typing during meetings, and anyone working in a quiet café get the benefit of a real keyboard without the clatter that makes people look up.

At 173 g it's also one of the easier options to justify carrying every day. If you've been comparing options in the hoco keyboard range, the GM71 is the pick when portability and battery life matter more than a numeric keypad or backlighting.
