Rugged Electronics on Keyboards

I bought this to replace a freestanding Logitech keyboard. This keyboard was full-size and could be connected to three different devices at the touch of a button. This keyboard holds the iPad firmly. It matches the size of the tablet, so the keyboard becomes cramped. I will get used to it. Sturdy and durable, it's made of quality materials, except for the back cover, which is a flat piece of plastic with magnets. It slips easily and is not very useful. I really like that this keyboard holds any viewing angle I choose from open to 180 degrees (closed). The iPad turns on when you open it and remove it from the keyboard, just like an Apple cover. The hinges are bound to be stiff enough considering they have to hold the screen at the chosen angle. So it's not that hard to open it. When the viewing angle is 90 degrees (straight up), you can type and/or use the touchscreen and it looks like a laptop. However, the whole thing tends to wobble and wobble from 90 when you use the touchscreen. I don't use backlit keys, but that's a nice feature. My favorite is the top left key on the keyboard. Each press takes you back from the current screen until you get to the main screen. This eliminates swiping across the screen. Overall I'm happy with it so far and would recommend it.

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
