Keyboard Recommendations for iPads
iPad users in my classes about what keyboard are best for an iPad. This is a product where you get what you pay for in quality. There are several high quality keyboards on the market, and the decision is based more on whether you want a keyboard integrated with an iPad case, or a keyboard alone.
Keyboards should offer your fingers good feedback when pressing on a key, be durable, and allow you to position your hands in a comfortable position for typing. Here's two of the best choices on the market now:
This is one of the better keyboard/case models currently on the market, because the keyboard is removeable. When using the iPad in a tilted position, the keyboard, when attached to the case, can end up being in a awkward position for typing. A removeable keyboard allows more freedom of movement and is more comfortable than a permanently fixed keyboard. This item used to sell for almost $100 and is now priced comparable to cases with a fixed keyboard.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - about $69 on Amazon
The Apple Bluetooth keyboard, which is included with new iMacs, is comfortable and easy to use, although a bit on the large size for carrying with an iPad. The advantage is that you'll find the feeling of the keys very good, and for Mac users the layout will be familiar.
