TypeMatrix has qwerty, dvorak, french, etc. labeling. It's fairly small and
easily goes in a laptop bag. It's just large enough to sit over a laptop
keyboard which comes in handy in crowded spaces like planes.

I don't know if they're selling bluetooth yet or not. Mine has a cord.

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; It fits my criterion when looking for a bluetooth keyboard for my<br>
&gt; &gt; MacBook Pro and my work Windows machine.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I am looking for something that could also be used for a Windows<br>

&gt; &gt; it needs an Apple friendly layout. Occasionally I will use it for my<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; My primary criterion is that it be no larger than the 15&quot; macbook pro<br>
&gt; &gt; in width since it will be in a case with the MacBook Pro. It could be<br>
&gt; &gt; slightly wider I will be getting an oversized case and I do want<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I will buy two of them, one for my work Windows machine and one to<br>

&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; As a side note, I type on a Dvorak keyboard but since chosing<br>
&gt; &gt; keyboards that have Dvorak labels limit my choices I just add glow in<br>
&gt; &gt; the dark stickers to label over my Qwerty keyboard. I would not mind a<br>
