Keyboard and Mouse Combos: Wireless, Ergonomic & Foldable Sets for Every Workspace
Whether you're setting up a permanent desk or packing for a week on the road, the right keyboard and mouse combo shapes how your body feels by 5 PM. ProtoArc's combo lineup covers three distinct working realities — mobile professionals who need everything in a carry-on pocket, desk workers whose wrists need structural relief, and Mac-first users who want a clean, backlit setup. Each set pairs a keyboard and mouse engineered together, so connectivity, battery cycles, and ergonomic angles are designed to match rather than conflict.
How to Choose the Right Keyboard and Mouse Combo for Your Workflow
The best wireless keyboard and mouse combo for you depends on two factors: where you work most often, and what physical discomfort you're trying to prevent. Here's a practical breakdown of the three use-case categories represented in this collection. For frequent travelers and mobile professionals: A foldable keyboard and mouse combo eliminates the bulk problem. The XKM01 and XKM01 CaseUp fold to 8.46 × 4.68 × 0.78 in — small enough to sit flat in a jacket pocket — then unfold to a full-size 105-key layout. The XKM03 adds an ergonomic V-shape split angle (166°) to the foldable format, addressing wrist strain even when working from a café table. For desk workers focused on long-session comfort: The EKM01 Plus is built around a curved split keyframe and a sculpted ergonomic mouse with palm and thumb rests. The keyboard's memory foam wrist rest and adjustable tilt legs allow posture tuning that a standard flat keyboard cannot offer. For Mac users who prioritize a clean aesthetic:The KM100-A is designed specifically for macOS, with a Mac-optimized key layout, white LED backlight (4 brightness levels), and a 1200 mAh keyboard battery — the largest in this collection — for extended use between charges.
The Full ProtoArc Keyboard and Mouse Combo Lineup
Every combo in this collection includes at least one 2.4 GHz USB receiver channel and Bluetooth connectivity, so switching between a laptop, tablet, and phone requires a single button press rather than re-pairing. Below is a structured comparison to help you match the right set to your situation.

Product Highlights: What Makes Each Combo Different
Each combo solves a specific problem. Understanding those differences prevents buying a travel set when you needed an ergonomic one, or vice versa.
XKM01 Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Combo
The XKM01 is the entry point into ProtoArc's foldable combo range. The tri-fold keyboard uses ProtoArc Scissor Key Switch technology with 0.63-inch keycaps — standard laptop key size — so typing speed doesn't drop when you're away from your desk. The included hard carry case keeps the keyboard, mouse, USB receiver, and charging cable organized in one unit. Keyboard battery: 210 mAh; mouse battery: 300 mAh. Wireless range: 10 m (33 ft). 2-year limited hardware warranty.
XKM01 CaseUp Foldable Keyboard Mouse Combo
The CaseUp is the upgraded version of the XKM01, adding a laptop stand to the kit. The stand raises the screen to eye level, reducing the neck-down angle that causes cervical strain during extended travel sessions. The premium hard case accommodates the keyboard, mouse, stand, and USB-C charging cable together. Same fold dimensions as the XKM01 (8.46 × 4.68 × 0.78 in folded), but total kit weight increases to approximately 42.33 oz (1,200 g) due to the stand. Positioned as the mid-to-premium travel option in the lineup.
KM100-A Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Combo for Mac
The KM100-A is the only combo in this collection designed specifically for Mac. The keyboard layout follows macOS conventions, and the white LED backlight adjusts across four levels (low / mid / high / off) to suit dim environments without eye strain. The 1200 mAh keyboard battery is the largest in the collection, paired with a 300 mAh mouse battery — both rechargeable via USB-C. Three Bluetooth channels allow simultaneous pairing with a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone. Price: $42.99–$43.99. 2-year limited hardware warranty.
EKM01 Plus Ergonomic Keyboard Mouse Combo
The EKM01 Plus is the desk-focused ergonomic option. Its curved split keyframe positions the hands at a more natural angle than a straight keyboard, and the built-in memory foam wrist rest reduces the wrist extension that accumulates over long typing sessions. Adjustable tilt legs let you set the keyboard angle whether seated or standing. The accompanying mouse features a sculpted palm rest and thumb rest, with 3-level DPI (800/1300/2000). Both keyboard and mouse carry 500 mAh batteries, rechargeable via USB-C. Available in six colors: Black, Silver, Green, Blue, Gray, Red. Price: $76.97–$85.98. 2-year limited hardware warranty.
XKM03 Ergonomic Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard Combo
The XKM03 merges the portability of a foldable keyboard with ergonomic design principles. Its V-shape split at 166° creates a natural typing angle that reduces wrist pronation even when working away from a proper desk. The keyboard folds to 7.69 × 5.63 × 0.5 in — slightly more compact than the XKM01 in one dimension — and uses PU leather with magnetic closure to prevent accidental opening in a bag. The ergonomic mouse adds palm and thumb rests plus 4-level DPI (800/1200/1600/2400). Comes with a sturdy travel case. Compatible with iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows via Bluetooth.
Multi-Device Keyboard and Mouse Combos: Why Three-Channel Connectivity Matters
A multi-device keyboard and mouse setup is no longer a niche feature — it's the practical standard for anyone who moves between a work laptop, a personal tablet, and a phone during the day. All ProtoArc combos support connecting to up to three devices simultaneously. Switching between them requires pressing the mode button once; there is no re-pairing process.The distinction between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth channels is worth understanding before you buy:
- 2.4 GHz USB receiver: Plug-and-play, no Bluetooth required. Lower latency than Bluetooth in most environments. Best for a primary desktop or laptop that stays at your desk.
- Bluetooth: No dongle needed. Works with tablets, phones, and newer laptops that lack USB-A ports. Required for iOS and Android devices. The XKM01, XKM01 CaseUp, and EKM01 Plus each include one 2.4 GHz channel plus two Bluetooth channels. The KM100-A and XKM03 use three Bluetooth channels, making them better suited for all-wireless setups or devices without USB-A ports.
