The ProtoArc XKM01 packs a full 105-key layout with a numeric pad and a compact mouse into a tri-fold case — a rare combination for a keyboard this portable, though the mouse itself isn't for everyone.

True full-size 105-key layout with numeric keypad, low-profile scissor-switch keys, dual connectivity (2.4GHz USB receiver and Bluetooth, switch across up to 3 devices), roughly 10 m wireless range, 210 mAh keyboard battery and 300 mAh mouse battery (both rechargeable via USB-C), aluminum tri-fold hinges rated for 10,000+ folds, no backlight.
Who it's designed for
Business travelers and mobile professionals who want a genuine desktop-equivalent keyboard — numpad included — plus a mouse, in one kit that folds down to fit a bag. Not the right pick if you specifically want a vertical ergonomic mouse; the bundled mouse here has a standard compact shape, not vertical.
Worth knowing
- No backlight is the most common complaint in reviews
- The mouse shape is divisive — some reviewers found it uncomfortable for extended sessions, which matters since it's a fixed pairing, not swappable
- A flat typing angle with no incline legs can cause fatigue on long sessions, same tradeoff as most folding keyboards
How it compares
- ProtoArc XKM01 vs XK03 — the XKM01 is the better pick if you need a full numpad and a mouse in the same kit; the XK03 is smaller, more ergonomic, and keyboard-only
- ProtoArc XKM01 vs a Bluetooth-only combo — the added 2.4GHz USB receiver mode is useful if you need a more stable connection than Bluetooth alone, e.g. for a desktop without reliable Bluetooth
Bottom line
For business travel where you want one folding kit that replaces a full keyboard and mouse, the XKM01's numpad and dual connectivity are the standout features — just know the bundled mouse is a standard shape, not the vertical ergonomic style some buyers expect from ProtoArc's other products.
