Review on Logitech Tablet Keyboard for iPad 1st-4th Generation and iPad Mini by Stephen Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Arrow keys don't always work

Like all the other reviewers, I agree that this keyboard is easy to set up, has decent battery life, and makes the iPad a lot more powerful. It's a bit heavy, but that doesn't really bother me as I prefer my products not to be too light (and feel brittle). Plus it's a fantastic price. No one has commented on that yet, but the arrow keys were a big disappointment. While they're great for text navigation, I can't move between cells in spreadsheets. Every time I want to move horizontally from one cell to another, I have to select the next cell on the iPad screen. It's not a big deal, but it's really annoying for those who work with spreadsheets a lot. Also, when typing into the search engine or the iPad's search function, I can't use the arrows to select one of the auto-filled options below. I've used other Logitech keyboards for the iPad before and never had this problem. I've been debating whether or not to return it for the last week, and I think I'll be back unless, by some miracle, the arrow keys start working soon. It's just not worth having a keyboard that can't do all of that when there are so many other options.

Pros
  • Tablet accessory
Cons
  • Got broken
