SOPPY Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad (UK Layout, Black) – portable rechargeable mini keyboard

If you want a small Bluetooth keyboard that works across everyday devices, the SOPPY backlit model with a built-in touchpad is built for exactly that kind of “grab it and go” setup. It’s not a full-size laptop replacement, but on paper it ticks a lot of practical boxes: UK layout, portable slim form, rechargeable battery, and a trackpad for navigating content without constantly reaching for the screen.

The trade-off is the usual one with mini keyboards: you get portability and convenience, but the layout can feel tighter than a desk keyboard, and the feature set depends on what your device actually supports (especially for system switching and the keyboard layout setting).

The essentials

This SOPPY keyboard is a backlit wireless Bluetooth keyboard designed for iPad/tablets, iOS and Android devices, and Windows laptops/tablets. It includes a multi-touch trackpad, so you can tap and swipe through pages and scroll around—useful when you’re using a tablet and don’t want to pair a separate mouse.

For typing in darker rooms or on late commutes, it uses a 7-colour LED backlight with both breathing and constant light modes. There’s also an energy-saving auto sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, plus a simple one-touch wake-up.

Key takeaways

One of the standout ideas here is the multi-device switching: the keyboard can connect via Bluetooth to up to three systems. Instead of pairing from scratch each time, you can use the Fn + Q / W / E shortcuts to switch between the three connected setups, and it also remembers devices after connection.

That said, you’ll want to be clear about the limitation: it’s described as switching between systems using those keys, and not doing it “simultaneously”. If your workflow relies on being able to type across different devices at the exact same time, this style of switching may not match your expectations.

What’s in use day to day

In practical terms, this is the sort of keyboard you reach for when you’re writing, answering messages, or editing documents away from your desk. Imagine using it at home with an iPad: you sit on the sofa, connect it, and type notes with the backlight on in the evening. Then when you need to reposition the cursor, the built-in multi-touch trackpad means you can tap and swipe without wrestling with a separate accessory.

Its portability is clearly part of the pitch: it’s listed as 24.8 x 15 x 0.6cm and 187g, which is light enough to stash in a backpack or bag without it feeling like dead weight.

Compatibility & requirements

Compatibility is described as broad for Bluetooth-enabled devices, including iOS (iOS 13.1 above), Android tablets/phones, and Windows tablets/laptops/phones that support Bluetooth.

There are a couple of things you should check before buying, because they can catch people out: - It explicitly does not support Win 8/Win 7 systems. - After connecting, you may need to set the hardware keyboard layout on your device for the best typing experience. For iOS, it notes selecting British, and for Android it suggests English (UK).

Also, while the list includes many iPad and Galaxy Tab models, that doesn’t automatically guarantee smooth typing/layout without the correct device keyboard setting—so it’s worth planning for a quick setup.

Pros

• Built-in multi-touch trackpad: handy for navigating like a “mini laptop”
• 7-colour backlight with breathing and constant modes for darker use
• Rechargeable, with energy-saving sleep and one-touch wake
• Supports switching between up to three connected systems via Fn + Q/W/E
• Lightweight and slim, designed to travel

Where it may fall short

Depending on what you’re replacing, the mini size can be limiting if you prefer a wider key layout for long typing sessions. It’s also not a universal fit in the sense of older Windows versions (Win 8/Win 7 are not supported), and the switching is described for moving between setups rather than working across devices at the same time.

Is it worth it?

Worth buying if you need a portable Bluetooth keyboard for work or study on a tablet/phone setup, and you like the idea of having a trackpad built in—especially if you want backlighting for evening use and a keyboard that remembers your connected devices.

Better avoided if you’re on an unsupported Windows version (Win 8/Win 7), you want true simultaneous multi-device use, or you dislike smaller key layouts. And if you’re buying expecting it to replace a full-size desk keyboard for heavy, long-form typing, it may feel more like a travel-focused companion than a daily driver.

Before you commit, check that your device supports Bluetooth and that you’re comfortable setting the hardware keyboard layout (British on iOS, English (UK) on Android) for the best results.
