Ipad Mini Ultra Thin Bluetooth Keyboard

[1.635 lb] Works great with the iPad Mini. Great to have an ultra-light weight monitor for RED cameras running RED Control Pro (allowing control of multiple camera on set). No need for a big extra battery, but of course you have a tiny bit of delay vs. SDI etc. Great touch screen controls thanks to RED Control.

[iPadOS] The keyboard works seamlessly with my iPad Air. Perfect fit, super thin and folds into a compact protective cover. Well worth purchasing.

[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.

[0.1 oz / 2 g] I have a 2019 Mac Mini that always had weak bluetooth reception for my mouse & keyboard. I bought is as "refurbished" and this is probably why someone returned it in the first place. Anyway, to get to the point, I ordered 4 solutions from Amazon and this Mini USB adaptor was the only device that fixed my problem. I'm using that same keyboard & mouse to type this review. Even though there wer no instructions on the device, I did plug it in, turn off the Bluetooth reception in the Mac Settings, used a wired mouse to turn Bluetooth back on again and it has worked perfectly for the past 3 weeks. My frustration has ended!!! Thanks StarTech!

[Glass] Crystal clear. Ultra-thin. Beautiful machining.

[10 x 8.7 x 0.9"] I gave my wife an 11 iPad Air to upgrade from her 8 year-old iPad Mini. She used a key board with it, so I got her this keyboard for the new one. Seeing that this keyboard has all the features of a laptop rather than the simple typing keyboard she used to use, and the larger iPad, I am wondering if this is now just a laptop with detachable keyboard? Anyway she likes it, so five stars.

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