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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just what I needed for my Ipad

I had an Ipad (3rd generation) a while ago and I think it's a great device, especially for web surfing and email. But the on-screen keyboard is certainly not optimal for answering e-mails. And if I want to type a little long, I've opted for a wireless keyboard. I tried friends built into the ipad case but it wasn't very good. I found it too small for my hands to type comfortably and accurately. So I started looking for one of the standard sizes. Note, however, that I didn't put much emphasis on portability - the iPad is primarily used at home. There were few in retail stores; but I've found a few candidates for Revain. I chose this one as the price was good and the reviews were positive. I agree with these reviews, as you can see from my review. This is the size at which I can type very comfortably. It's light and fairly portable, I sit in a chair, lay the iPad aside (on my arm) and type on my lap. This works very well. I had no trouble pairing it with my iPad, and the power button on the front helps save battery when I'm not typing. I also like the LED on the caps lock key - not all keyboards have an indicator. The arrow keys need some tweaking - they're a bit smaller and not where I use them (on full-size keyboards with number pads). But overall it's fine for my purposes. No documentation is actually included, but inside the box are Logitech support phone numbers and web addresses. But I had no problem with that: pull the plastic latches to hold the batteries (AAA included) in the circuit, turn on the switch and press the connect button (below) to connect it to an iPad or other device couple. Bluetooth device. Done, and it's been paired ever since.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • No automatic
