Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard For Ipad 3

[USB 2.0] Up until now, I could connect either a USB-audio headphone OR a USB-compliant MIDI keyboard to my USB-C iPad via a wired connection, but not both. This meant that one of the two – keyboard or headphone – had to be connected via Bluetooth. This is usually not a problem except when trying to record a live performance, where Bluetooth latency is frankly unacceptable. With the MiniFuse, however, both the keyboard and the headphone attach to the interface, and a single USB-C cable connects to the iPad. I have so many neat synth and other music creation apps on there that I can finally use live! This is HUGE for me. Note that the MiniFuse 4 supports up to 500 mA keyboards via its USB-hub, so long as it's plugged in, whereas the MiniFuse 2 supports only up to 250 mA devices, which cuts out most external USB-compliant MIDI keyboards. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to plug the MiniFuse 4 to a wall socket to make it all work, but that's still just a single wire. Oh, also, I've connected some synths to the audio inputs, and I've been running both the headphone and main Audio outputs, as well as the loopback interface both with the iPad and my mac, and it all works and sounds fantastic. The manual takes a bit of careful reading to understand the possible routings (for me at least, I'm a newbie at this) but it's well written and I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I didn't know I needed it, but now that I have the MiniFuse, I can't imagine not having it as the central hub to my synthesizer setup.

[1 lb (0.4 kg)] I ordered the Bluetooth keyboard to go with an iPad I bought for my son and it arrived in just a few days! I was also very well packaged. Thanks!

[Padded] It's roomy enough for my iPad Air including the Bluetooth keyboard I attached to it. The handles are sewn securely to the case. I can easily slide the handles over my wrist when I need to use both hands temporarily for something else. I'm glad it doesn't have a shoulder strap like so many other cases. The zipper teeth are large enough to mesh easily and reliably every time.

[Membrane] I've used this for just 2 weeks, but it's the perfect replacement for my Apple wireless keyboard. It's virtually identical except it lies flatter on my desk since it obviously doesn't have the battery compartment (they did include optional sticky rubber pads to tilt the keyboard forward). I replaced my old wireless keyboard since I bought the new 2020 M1 Mac Mini and immediately had the bluetooth issues others have complained about. Weirdly enough, I could solve my keyboard issue by turning my Apple mouse off and on, but it got annoying. Right now, this wired keyboard is perfect, buttons all work as they should, choices of backlighting or not, controls sound levels as well as all the other functions I'm accustomed to using. Plus, no cost of feeding AA batteries to the wireless. Time will tell, but right now, I am satisfied, even if Apple finally does resolve their bluetooth issue.

[Black] When combined with the widi bud usb dongle you have a truly wireless Bluetooth midi keyboard that is slim and works with negligible latency which is great for portable musicians and producers.

[Mac, Windows] As a speed typist, I needed an external keyboard for my new iPad. I found it in the B&H inventory, the Xcellon wireless Bluetooth model. A spacious, comfortable keyboard design and the scissor key action make for effortless results. Generous features on the Fn row and the numeric key pad provide just about every advantage imaginable. In that the unit accommodates a number of international languages, I had a bit of trouble finding the one compatible with my iPad, but having done that, it has been smooth sailing. I'm delighted with the Xcellon and highly recommend it.

[Scissor] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wireless keyboard is a fantastic addition to any touchscreen device. I often don’t use my iPad for emails or communication because I feel like tapping on the touchscreen opens me to more errors. It was relatively easy and quick to link the keyboard to both my phone and iPad. The keyboard is slightly smaller than my laptop keyboard but with frequent use I think I would adjust. The battery is supposed to last 3 years and is replaced with small batteries purchased from target or Amazon. The keyboard is covered with a built in folding cover.

[Yes] This is simply the best keyboard for an iPad Pro.

[49 Keys] Read the fine print. This uses Bluetooth LE, and that requires an iPad3 or better. After wondering why it didn't work with either iPad2 here, I found that tidbit (which I had missed) in the fine print, hemmed, hawed, and opted to upgrade the iPad side of the system. It is a quality product, which on the one hand seems quite pricey for what is effectively a 2 button bluetooth keyboard, but on the other hand is much better made than whatever I might kludge up from a cheaper bluetooth keyboard with many more keys. The keys are lit, soft, and silent, and the device is considerably more affordable than some others in its niche - and with the keys on top, not over the edge, it works fine on carpets (some reviews indicate that is a weakness of some competing devices.) For hands-free page turning it really is ideal. Intended for foot operation, it is a bit larger than you'd expect from the pictures.
