RE: Question about keyboard

[Rena]

I heard about it and I wondered if it was more convenient than the one I have, 
the Keys to Go keyboard.

I don’t have to charge the battery and to turn it on and off.

I’m not sure if I will buy it or not, so I will keep the info someone sent.

Re: Question about keyboard

['Gary Robinson' via VIPhone]

Hi Rena,

The keyboard is just a  standard PC keyboard with  a normal USB A  type 
plug.  What you do need to make it work with your Iphone or Ipad is what 
Apple call  a USB camera adaptor kit.  It is basically a  small flattish 
piece of plastic with a short stubby lead coming out of one side with a 
lightning plug to fit your Iphone and a standard USB A  type socket on 
the other side into which you plug your keyboard or other USB device.


It was originally developed to enable people to connect their digital 
cameras to their Iphones and upload their pictures etc, hence the name.


It comes in two variants  a USB 2  adaptor as above and a USB 3 variant 
which also has a lightning socket on the adaptor to enable you to power 
your phone in case the device you are connecting puts a heavy load on 
your phones battery.


It is not a passive device, it does contain a  chip to carry out the 
necessary comms protocol conversion work so although you can find these 
adaptors on Amazon much cheaper  be careful as they may not work as well 
as the genuine article.



Hope this helps.

Gary

How did you manage to have clicks with BSI? I hear clicks only

RE: Question about keyboard click sounds

[Richard Turner]

Those sounds only seem to be related to onscreen input.
The typing feedback is so you hear the letters or words as you type them.
There does not seem to be a way to get keyboard clicks with external keyboards.
If you set hardware keyboard to characters, you will hear each character 
entered, which I could understand might not be a good idea if you want to keep 
your typing private.

I would like to purchase a keyboard for my iPhone 6, but I wonder what's the 
best. For instance, do all keyboards do the same, or some perform more tasks 
than others?

Thank you for any info,

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Gmail]

I've seen people mention the Amazon Basics Keyboard on here before, and some 
have said that it stopped working for them after a year or so. Someone, (I 
think it might have been Raul), said they found a similar keyboard and it 
hadn't died on them. Does anyone remember what that keyboard was? I don't think 
it was the solar Logitech one.


Thanks,
Ari

Bigger or smaller, ifxed to the case or separate?  and so on.

If you aren't in a hurry, you can catch the Amazon Basics Bluetooth Wireless 
Keyboard on special for 26 dollars USD.  A few months back they offered it 
for $21.95.  Well worth watching and waiting for it.

Hi Grace,

A lot of people like the Amazon Basics keyboard and if you don't want to
spend $70 (the cost for an Apple Wireless keyboard) or $100 (the cost for
the Logitech K811) then it might be a good way to go. If you live in a
larger city you could always go to an Apple Store and check out the Apple
Wirreless keyboard to see if you like it. It's a very nice keyboard and its
only downfall is the fact that it turns on and off with a push button on the
right side (at the end nearest to where the F12 key is). If you put it in a
bag or backpack there is a very good chance that button gets pushed and then
if the keyboard turns on other keys may get pushed and your iPhone will
react.
I really really like the Logitech K811 because it has a slider switch on the
right side and there is no way it can turn on accidently, it also has a very
nice feel to it and if you end up ever getting an Apple TV and/or iPad, you
can pair up to 3 devices with it and switch between them simply by pressing
F1, F2 and F3.

have the Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard that I'll use with my iPhone when
I want to do email.  There are any number of Bluetooth keyboards out there.
For texting, I like the dictate feature instead.  Why?  No keyboard to have

Dictation probably couldn't handle a message of this size.  I hope this

RE: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Grace,

A lot of people like the Amazon Basics keyboard and if you don't want to
spend $70 (the cost for an Apple Wireless keyboard) or $100 (the cost for
the Logitech K811) then it might be a good way to go. If you live in a
larger city you could always go to an Apple Store and check out the Apple
Wirreless keyboard to see if you like it. It's a very nice keyboard and its
only downfall is the fact that it turns on and off with a push button on the
right side (at the end nearest to where the F12 key is). If you put it in a
bag or backpack there is a very good chance that button gets pushed and then
if the keyboard turns on other keys may get pushed and your iPhone will
react.
I really really like the Logitech K811 because it has a slider switch on the
right side and there is no way it can turn on accidently, it also has a very
nice feel to it and if you end up ever getting an Apple TV and/or iPad, you
can pair up to 3 devices with it and switch between them simply by pressing
F1, F2 and F3.

Sieghardto $100 which is the cost

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, another good one is the Logitech Flex K811 keyboard. It can pair 
with up to 3 devices. I use mine for my iPhone, iPad and Nexus tablet, 
which is of course not an iDevice. The Apple keyboard is good too, but 
the major flaw in the thing is the power button. It's on the side and is 
a big round edge. Which makes it too easily pressed when you stow it 
away in a bag. If you want to go with something cheaper, try the Anker 
keyboards from Amazon. Oh, and of course, Amazon sells their own branded 
keyboard the Basics, I've pasted a link to a demo I've done with it at 
the end of my message.  As for what can be done with it, pretty much 
everything. Typing of course will be greatly increased.

I've had my Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard now for a bit over a

I think all the keyboards are bluetooth, hwether charged by solar or AC
adapter.

I think you can do more or less anything with one, - type, navigate, which
is pretty well all of it;  and after that, it is down to personal taste.
Bigger or smaller, ifxed to the case or separate?  and so on.

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Alan Paganelli]

Rena, as to which one is best, choosing a keyboard is like choosing a pare 
of shoes.  Some people will like this kind and some will like that kind.  I 
have the Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard that I'll use with my iPhone when 
I want to do email.  There are any number of Bluetooth keyboards out there. 
For texting, I like the dictate feature instead.  Why?  No keyboard to have 
to drag around.  For email, I like the Amazon keyboard.  Dictation on email 
is alright too if your going to keep your email messages short and sweet. 
Dictation probably couldn't handle a message of this size.  I hope this 
helps answer your questions.

Alan

Hello,

I have 2 questions, please:
1. How many keyboards are there for the iPhone? What's the best for a blind
user? I read about the bluetooth, but I also heard about one that is solar.
2. How much can I accomplish using the keyboard? Only to type emails and

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Alan Paganelli]

The Amazon Basics Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard has an on/off switch and a 
blind person can tell by touch the status.  The keyboard also has 5 rubber 
feet that keeps it from slipping when used on a table top.  The describer 
mode tells you what each key combo does as well and if you catch it on 
special, you can get it for under 20 dollars which didn't make me happy.  I 
paid 26 bucks for mine.  If I remember right, it's around 40 dollars USD.

If you're going to be traveling with the keyboard a lot, I wouldn't get the 
Apple one. It's a great keyboard, except that it turns on with the use of a 
button, which can easily be pressed. This is unfortunate, especially if you 
have the keyboard in a bag which gets bumped a lot, because it might be 
turned on often. I would recommend getting a keyboard that uses a physical 
on-off switch.


Pretty much any Bluetooth keyboard you get will work with the iPhone. There 
are keyboards that are very very small and pocket-sized, but I don't really 
like using these. If I'm going to be using a keyboard, I'm usually going to 
be typing for quite a while, so getting something about the size of the 
Apple keyboard works well for me. Of course, this is just my own use case, 
and yours might very. Personally, I like using dictation or Fleksy VO for 
short things.



Thanks,
Ari

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Alan Paganelli]

Hi Ari,

I use the Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard with my iPhone 5s when 
I'm in a hurry or can slip it in my backpack.  It's just to handy not to 
take it with you.  It's about 10 inches from left to right, 5 inches from 
front to back and at it's thickest point maybe an inch high.  It's powered 
by 2 triple A. batteries which I've had in the keyboard sense a year ago 
this March.  When replying to email and text messages you need not know all 
the VO commands.  You can just double tap the text box which then would have 
focus and just bang away on the keyboard to enter in the text.  If you watch 
Amazon for when they put the keyboard on special, you can get it for under 
20 bucks.  Ticked me off too because I paid 26 dollars for mine and they 
just had it for 19.99.  Oh well!


HTH

PS:  There is also a nice soft case for the keyboard if your going to carry 
it around in a backpack.  The case is 20 bucks as well but very much worth 
the price if the keyboard is going to spend a lot of time in a backpack.

Alan

Sieghard, how big would you say the Logitech keyboard it is. To the Apple
keyboard? Is it around the same size? Also, does it use a physical on-off
switch to turn on? I really like the Apple keyboard, but it's one drawback
for me was that it used a button to turn on and off, which in my use case,
often got pressed a lot.

The Apple Wireless keyboard is very nice, but so is the Logitech K811
which also allows you to connect 2 more devices, for example, if you
had an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV you could connect all 3 devices and
switch between them simply by pressing F1, F2 and F3.

You can pretty much fully navigate your iPhone with a Bluetooth
keyboard, of course you can type text, you can copy, cut and paste,
you can even dial a phone number, but you can't input numbers during a
call for example if you call your bank and have to enter an account
number. I guess I should qualify this, you can do this if the dialpad
is on the screen and you could then use the arrows to go to a
particular number and select/dial it, but if you had to enter a long
number and go, for example, from 1 to 0 and back to 2 or something
like that you would have to arrow and select your numbers awefully fast 
so

the system wouldn't time out.

RE: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[SSEric]

Also, any Bluetooth keyboard you might have for your desktop computer will
work with your I-devices. I should say most; all I have tried, but that has
only been a few. Not portable, but then again it depends on how portable you
need a keyboard to be. In my opinion, the Apple Bluetooth is not very
portable, not when compared to my folding, but they are different animals.

So, it really depends on what you want.

Sieghard, how big would you say the Logitech keyboard it is. To the Apple
keyboard? Is it around the same size? Also, does it use a physical on-off
switch to turn on? I really like the Apple keyboard, but it's one drawback
for me was that it used a button to turn on and off, which in my use case,
often got pressed a lot.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[RobH.]

I think all the keyboards are bluetooth, hwether charged by solar or AC 
adapter.

I think you can do more or less anything with one, - type, navigate, which 
is pretty well all of it;  and after that, it is down to personal taste.
Bigger or smaller, ifxed to the case or separate?  and so on.

Re: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Gmail]

If you're going to be traveling with the keyboard a lot, I wouldn't get the 
Apple one. It's a great keyboard, except that it turns on with the use of a 
button, which can easily be pressed. This is unfortunate, especially if you 
have the keyboard in a bag which gets bumped a lot, because it might be turned 
on often. I would recommend getting a keyboard that uses a physical on-off 
switch.

Pretty much any Bluetooth keyboard you get will work with the iPhone. There are 
keyboards that are very very small and pocket-sized, but I don't really like 
using these. If I'm going to be using a keyboard, I'm usually going to be 
typing for quite a while, so getting something about the size of the Apple 
keyboard works well for me. Of course, this is just my own use case, and yours 
might very. Personally, I like using dictation or Fleksy VO for short things.


Thanks,
Ari

RE: Question about keyboard for iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Rena,

The solar keyboard is probably the one from Logitech and while it can
recharge using light, it still is a Bluetooth keyboard and I think it's
pretty safe to say that all iPhone external keyboards connect via Bluetooth.
The Apple Wireless keyboard is very nice, but so is the Logitech K811 which
also allows you to connect 2 more devices, for example, if you had an
iPhone, iPad and Apple TV you could connect all 3 devices and switch between
them simply by pressing F1, F2 and F3.

You can pretty much fully navigate your iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard, of
course you can type text, you can copy, cut and paste, you can even dial a
phone number, but you can't input numbers during a call for example if you
call your bank and have to enter an account number. I guess I should qualify
this, you can do this if the dialpad is on the screen and you could then use
the arrows to go to a particular number and select/dial it, but if you had
to enter a long number and go, for example, from 1 to 0 and back to 2 or
something like that you would have to arrow and select your numbers awefully
fast so the system wouldn't time out.

Sieghard
