iPad Mini Keyboard

[phiber]

Has anyone bought/tried out some of the iPad mini keyboards available on the market? I find myself in more and more meetings these days, rapidly taking notes on paper - and its starting to become more admin than its worth.

Also, anyone know where these are available locally so I can give one a go? I am quite a fan of the Apple Keyboards, and have a spare bluetooth apple keyboard, but its a bit to big to lug around.

Looking for something that integrates into a case, so you carry one device.

Tx vinodh, this looks like a winner, but on the pricey side. Will see if i can find something cheaper.

Anyone know a local logitech supplier that might carry these?

The logitech retails for abt 1300 the microsoft for 500.... also I dont think an integrated 1 such as a good idea as then your tablet becomes extremely bulky all the time. With this youbwhip it out when you need it

Thanks, now every ipad I see will look incomplete from here on out. :erm:

Very elegant solution.

With my Mini I'd rather get a full sized standalone one like the Wedge or the Apple official kb or so, than one built into a case. The size is a bit too cramped for comfortable typing. Then set it up for meetings and such like this:


I'm actually planning on doing something similar at my next job if I get a desktop. So I agree with ghostbuster.

Those Logitech bastards have a version for the iPad Air as well. Tempting...

I've got the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, and it gathers dust now. I move between meeting rooms and buildings (on foot) quite a bit, so i need something quite compact to carry but more functional than the onscreen keyboard, this is where the logitech wins.

They work fine, the tricky bit is that you now have two devices to keep charged. That is more irritating than you might think: you arrive at your meeting, set up your gear, then realise that your keyboard is out of juice. I just gave up and learned to type on glass.

Logitech had a solar-powered kb at one stage. Don't know if they still make that.
