Hi all, I have purchased a keyboard with stand & a lightning connecter, instead of bluetooth. First, I thought this was a really cool idea. I liked the thought of not having yet another bluetooth device, plus none of the bluetooth keyboard issues.
The keyboard has a dedicated home button, lock/unlock button, & a mail button. In addition to media & volume keys. What it is lacking is a function key. For those of you that use an external keyboard frequently, would this be a deal breaker for you? I cannot remember the commands I may be missing with no function key. It has also occurred to me that I can only use the stand for a device in landscape mode. I’m not seeing a way to use it in portrait & tuck the cord away. Lastly, & this may be a tiny personal gripe, but I find typing on it rather loud. Lol! It makes me think of hearing typing on Tv or movies. So, bottom line for me personally, cool idea, but not sure if the $60 price is worth it. Maybe if I regularly typed out long documents. I am going to practice with it a bit more to remind myself of navigation commands. Five years ago, when we got our first iPad, I loved using a bluetooth qwerty keyboard with it. ;) Maybe it has just been too long, and it isn’t my thing anymore. In any case, I wanted to write about this, because before a few days ago, I didn’t know lightning keyboards existed. It may be the perfect solution for someone else.
