Any avid Apple fans seriously interested in typing on the iPad should consider other options for an iPad’s built-in virtual keyboard. Apple’s wireless keyboard with Bluetooth can be the ideal alternative to the virtual keyboard of the iPad.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard uses the built-in Bluetooth functionality of iPad to deliver a simple and responsive typing experience to iPad end users without having to be connected to their iPad with a dock. It is also a suitable replacement for touch screen functions with the native keyboard shortcuts.
Setting up the keyboard to associate with your iPad is very easy. Touch the Apple Wireless Keyboard power button on the right side of the keyboard until you see the green indicator light come on. Next, go to your iPad’s Bluetooth settings to pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard. That’s all!
The Apple Wireless Keyboard for iPad and Mac computers takes up almost a quarter less space than traditional keyboards, is incredibly thin, and has a feather-light design. The keyboard follows Apple’s minimalist yet trendy style. The keyboard is made of an aluminum casing, matte white plastic keys, and a plastic back panel. The aluminum casing allows for a sleek, slim appearance, yet is remarkably strong, suitable for any mobile road warrior or clumsy student. The top of the keyboard has a raised circular barrel that houses two AA batteries. This also has a pragmatic feature that houses controls and user interfaces while providing a nice, ergonomic typing angle. Typing for a few hours was comfortable and comparable to typing on our 15? Macbook Pro. This wireless keyboard features slim QWERTY keys, a directional pad, and media control keys that let you skip tracks on iPad. In addition, the keyboard has function buttons that allow you to change the screen brightness, sound volume, and a sleep button that allows you to quickly return to touch input. We find this a very worthwhile purchase if you own other Apple computers. This keyboard can be used on your Macbook Pro or Mac desktop.
