Hi Jonathan, I had the same idea a couple of years ago. My experience was that, using an iPad Mini and a Mantis Q40, it took more keystrokes to accomplish the same task. One place I noticed this was in Mail. Just navigating around, composing and reading mail, basically everything seemed to take more keystrokes. So I’m back on my M1 Mac. Again, this was a couple of years ago. And from what I’ve read about Apple’s upcoming special announcement, they’re about to introduce new iPads. So, YMMV. Best, Donna
