5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice - and works on other bluetooth devices too!, July 26, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
First, I'm not going to ding this much for being large because you're just not going to get a full size keyboard that's small compared to the iPad itself. I like the feel of the keys given the slim form factor. And the stand is quite clever.

Good things:
- Very nice to type on - not quite as nice as a full height KB, but good tradeoff for thin.
- Uses 4 AAA batteries - I prefer this to worrying about yet another charger. Logitech claims these will last ten months of normal use.
- Paired easily with the iPad.
- Also paired easily with the XOOM (Android device)!
- Works in browsers, where it can be very useful.
- Clever case turns into a stand that can hold the tablet in portrait or landscape mode (normal iPad cases, including Apple's, only do landscape, which can be frustrating when you want to read mags or comics).
- Turns off to save batteries.
- Very nice in apps such as Notepad to have shift-arrow (to selec t text) and cmd-x (cut) cmd-v (paste) and cmd-c (copy) working.
- Has a Home key where Esc would be that acts like the iPad (or Android) home key. Can even turn it on when it's sleeping. Also a dedicated search key.
- Has Fn keys for media control, volume control, lock.
- Has dedicated (though small) arrow keys in a WASD configuration.

Bad things:
- It's a bit longer than the iPad - I think it's worth it to get a full size keyboard, but it is.
- Power switch is tiny, easy to forget to turn it off. Not a catastrophe, but wastes some power.
- I wasn't able to get the Ctrl key to do anything useful in apps like iSSH or ConnectBot on either iOS or Android. This is bad if, like me, your remote apps need control keys. Expect to do some termcap remapping.
- Occasionally it doesn't want to re-connect - then you need to tell your tablet to unpair and repair.

Hints:
- You can use the stand in portrait (table t tall instead of wide) mode! It took me a while to realize this since I'm not used to cases allowing it.
- The connect button is a tiny thing under the keyboard in the upper right. Use it to pair with a new device or...
- If the keyboard doesn't want to re-connect, holding the connect button while trying to do so seems to help.
- fn-6=show/hide on-screen keyboard.

The bottom line - normally a keypad on a tablet is ridiculous (just get a laptop), but if you love your tablet and have the occasional need for a keyboard, you could do worse, and this works with more than just the iPad.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent alternative to Apple's wireless keyboard!, August 4, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have been using the Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for a while now. While I like it, I wanted to try the Logitech alternative. I'm happy to report that the experience has been completely positive for me, and that the Logitech has replaced my Apple keyboard in my travel bag.

The first benefit is that the keys feel more "solid" on the Logitech. It could be because the whole keyboard is a tiny bit thicker, or it might be the material they use for the keys, but to me the Logitech has better play with the keys than the Apple version. I type better with it. The keys are slightly smaller than the Apple keyboard, but they also have a little more space between them, making my style of typing a lot more accurate with my large fingers.

The Logitech keyboard has one less row of keys, thanks to the inclusion of the Function key. That means it's not as "tall" as the Apple, but it is, unfortunately, a little wider than then Apple. This means that with my Targus ne tbook bag it's a tight fit. It does fit, but it's definitely pressing the sides out a bit.

What really sells me on this keyboard is the power switch to clearly and obviously turn it off, thus keeping batteries well-charged and not triggering functions on the iPad when the keyboard gets bumped. With the Apple keyboard, it shuts off automatically but wakes up when keys are tapped. This meant I had to turn off Bluetooth in my iPad when not using the keyboard; An extra step I can choose to skip now, with the Logitech.

Another big selling point is the case/stand that comes with this keyboard. While my Smart Cover works fine for landscape, it doesn't allow portrait orientation with any sort of slant. The Logitech keyboard cover converts into a sturdy stand that lets me switch to a landscape orientation. This is very handy for editing documents!

Of course, the Bluetooth connection is easy to establish, and the keyboard never misses a stroke. I"m ver y pleased with the way it functions.

If you're in the market for a Bluetooth keyboard to use with your iPad, and are trying to decide between Apple and Logitech, I would say it comes down to your personal preference. They both have great features and offer quality. However, I think the Logitech has the advantage in feel, extra features, and user-friendliness.

For the price, you can't go wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars A keeper, July 21, 2011

This review is from: Logitech Tablet Keyboard (Keyboard-and-Stand Combo) for iPad, iPad 2, iPad (3rd/4th generation), and iPad mini (920-003241) (Personal Computers)
The keyboard itself is great. The keys have all the right dynamics, size, etc. For those used to laptop keyboards, this one will require zero adjustment. The keyboard is slim, elegant and "pleasant" in a number of ways. It's also a bit less expensive than Apple Wireless keyboard (which to my knowledge does not come with a stand or a carrying case).

I rated convenience with only 3 stars because the keyboard and the case roughly double your total carrying weight as compared to just the iPad itself. It's also definitely makes for bulkier luggage, again, as compared to just the iPad: in its transportable state, the keyboard is a little longer than the iPad and about 1.5 times as thick as the iPad.

I also dinged workmanship, but that's only for the quality of the case/stand. It's somewhat flimsy, especially the part that forms the bottom of the stand, the blue "tongue". It's make of plastic that strikes me as cheap.

Personally, I appreciate that the keyboard uses AAA batteries instead of a built-in rechargeable battery.

I've tried another iPad keyboard solution -- one of those folios with a built-in soft rubber keyboard and it was just unsatisfactory. This one, however, is definitely a keeper.
