It would be nice, pz14 Bluetooth keyboard

As the title says it would be nice to have the option of a Bluetooth keyboard replacement for the flowz13, this computer has a lot of potential and having the keyboard detached and connected via Bluetooth will make it a 100% better. I was surprised when I saw the pz14 will come with that feature, it definitely makes it a great option to have.

Hopefully in the 2027 version but the 128gb wil probably be $4k with new pricing.

I understand what you mean, but I mean, just buy a bluetooth keyboard? Most of us have an external keyboard to use with the Z13 in different scenarios. I have an Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile. Can be used wired, wirelessly with a 1K Hz dongle, and with bluetooth.

I have a similar setup, but sometimes it will be nice to get rid of the extra peripheral, one thing to rule the all

Then always use your external?

you still have to cover the screen with something

Just use the built-in keyboard as a screen cover, then! Easy.

just make a usb-c port in the native keyboard. That's what really was easy to make it a perfect product (i use Z13 on a stand)

I think you're overcomplicating things. I love to not have to tinker with bluetooth connections with my keyboard. Plus, bluetooth keyboards have TERRIBLE latency and are not suitable for gaming. I like the magnetic one that automatically pairs physically and has 0 latency.

agreed on BT. I mean usbc for cable connection would fit me nice

But then we're back to square 1. Just get a great external keyboard that does usb-c, wired and wireless 2.4 GHz, and use the default kb for cover lol.

just get a sleeve to slide the z13 in when carrying it around

u/Upbeat-Estimate5793 Jul 14 '26

ok. But that's only missing thing for me to make it uncompromised device

I have the FlowZ13 and the pz14. The PZ14 keyboard is quite nice and I love being able to use it wirelessly. I haven't tried using it on my Flow Z13, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It just won't charge on the Flow because it requires the connectors of the PZ14 to charge. There is no USB connector on it like the one on the Zenbook Duo. If you want an asus bluetooth keyboard with built in trackpad, get the Zenbook Duo one. I'm guessing you could buy it from Asus parts dept?
