Review on Logitech iPad Keyboard with Lightning Connector in White - Wired by Darrell Beecher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for journaling/blogging on the go. light and portable, it travels well!

I bought this to take with me on vacation, to write (and possibly blog) about my travels. The first test just completed: a two-week cruise around Alaska (Ketchikan, Endicott Arm, Juneau, Hoonah, Anchorage, Kodiak, Homer and Sitka). I wanted a full-size keyboard that was portable, easy to manage, and that would work with my iPad Pro. I chose it for its size, the fact that it draws power from my iPad (instead of requiring a charger), and the fact that it's a wired connection via a Lightning cable, not Bluetooth. Nothing against Bluetooth, but the lack of pairing makes things a lot easier. That works great! It connects easily with no performance issues. It has some great shortcuts, many of which I haven't used, but at least they are available. Despite being a full-size keyboard, the small size means I can fit it in my carry-on along with my other essentials and it doesn't take up much space at all. It's also durable - the cable connector feels solid. I used it a few times a day to record events and activities, so it was in and out of my bag often. No problem. This is my next adventure: North Atlantic cruise (including Greenland, Iceland and Norway) for 6 weeks.

Pros
  • Hands-free kit
Cons
  • Very expensive
