I have an HP laptop but HATE the keyboard... would this would be compatible to use in place of a regular, bulky full-size keyboard?

As long as the HP has bluetooth it will connect but this thing is small, no touch typing. Great for some applications but not a replacement for a real keyboard.

I use this device with an Android on a stick, I would never use this to replace a laptop keyboard

Compatible yes. The only thing I don't like about it is the trackpad. Takes several swipes to get from one side of the screen to the next

It might be depending on what you're expecting from it. It's held with two hands and you type with your thumbs. So it's not a super fast way to type, but it'll work. I bought it to use with a Windows Tablet that didn't have a keyboard, and it works ok for short bits of typing. Hope that helps.

I own a HP Pavilion. I consider Lenovo keyboard solid and comfortable. Read my review for other possible answers.

I can't see why it would not, though I'm not an expert! This keyboard works flawlessly with my HP Pavilion laptop connected to one of its USB ports. Hope this helps.

I don't know why not. You have a keyboard. It's basically just a small laptop.

It is a standard-size keyboard with a small footprint and no number keys, so it takes up little space on the desk. So I'd say no -- the keys are the same size and same distance apart as any other keyboard.

The keyboard is as big as the ipad. I only typed on it a few times, but I really liked it. It would probably work best if you could set the keyboard on a hard surface, but I had to put mine on my lap to use it. I hope this helped you.

I don't see why this wouldn't work for a laptop. USB/Wireless keyboards today are made to work with any laptop as long as it has the right operating system. The only circumstances that a keyboard would not work with your computer is: 1) If you have an incompatible OS (like if you have a Mac and buy a Windows-only keyboard, which still will probably work, just not with any "extra features" the keyboard may have). 2) If the keyboard uses Bluetooth wireless technology and your laptop doesn't. This is something you should check on. Although, most wireless keyboards and mice connect to the computer by a USB stub or base that stays plugged into the computer. Just be sure that if the keyboard uses Bluetooth that your laptop has Bluetooth as well. And... 3) If the keyboard uses a PS/2 port. This is really a kind of out-dated means of connection and a lot of laptops don't even have PS/2 ports anymore as probably more than 90% of all computer keyboards and mice sold in stores today use USB ports or Bluetooth. Most likely the only way you'll get your hands on a PS/2 connecting keyboard is if you look at an off-brand bargain keyboard that is about $10 or less. Anyway, hope this helped you out some! I'm pretty sure this would work for you as keyboards and mice are designed to be widely compatible. But check on those things I mentioned just in case. And you don't have to worry about notice "1)" on this keyboard, because whether you use Mac or Windows - there is a version of this keyboard for each operating system, just be sure you get the right one!

I think it would be better to just buy the whole keyboard to replace your current keyboard in that replacing keys on a laptop is a lot more complicated compared to on a desktop's keyboard. Keep in mind i'm not entirely sure of it myself. :-/ Though I haven't found any issues with the keyboard at the moment.

Yes--I strike waaaay too many extra keys when typing on a laptop and am constantly correcting my typing. Standard keyboards are much more user friendly for me. EB

Yes, this keyboard should work fine. And, I think it is a really good keyboard. I've had no problems or complaints at all!

After reviewing an HP G72 on here it would seem to have the same keyboard. I'd give it a try. Were not exactly talking about and expensive item, eh?

No, this is a very low profile keyboard with thin keys, not at all like a regular keyboard. It's closer to a laptop keyboard.

I suppose it would work for a small keyboard (no more than 12 inches wide). For a regular size keyboard you will want a wider item, as you will want the outer edges of the keyboard on a solid surface for stability.

Hi Diane. We agree to what the other users said. This is like a laptop keyboard.

As long as your laptop supports USB HID keyboards it should be fine. You literally just plug and type. I would call Gateway if you have any question about the compatability, or contact the keyboard company. They are very User friendly and customer oriented. I was very impressed with their customer service. I didn't contact them, they contacted me to make sure I liked how it performed.

I don't know about the functions keys I just use it to type e-mails and such. I don't think its supposed to function like a lap top. I am not sure what your needing it to do.

It should the only problem you might have is the adapter plug into the back of the keyboard if the size isn't quite right you'll have to get an adapter which is very inepensive.. very very inexpensive
