Aluminium Bluetooth Keyboard For Ipad Mini

I ordered the Bluetooth keyboard to go with an iPad I bought for my son and it arrived in just a few days! I was also very well packaged. Thanks!

This keyboard works out perfectly for my iPad Pro 12.9. I love the following features: 1) iPad/keyboard interface without a bluetooth; 2) the great multi gesture trackpad; 3) the full size, backlit keyboard without a need of battery. 4) This keyboard enhances the functionality of iPad Pro and make it more useful. Some shortcomings: 1) the weight of the keyboard is a little heavy. 2) a little pricey.

Up until now, I could connect either a USB-audio headphone OR a USB-compliant MIDI keyboard to my USB-C iPad via a wired connection, but not both. This meant that one of the two – keyboard or headphone – had to be connected via Bluetooth. This is usually not a problem except when trying to record a live performance, where Bluetooth latency is frankly unacceptable. With the MiniFuse, however, both the keyboard and the headphone attach to the interface, and a single USB-C cable connects to the iPad. I have so many neat synth and other music creation apps on there that I can finally use live! This is HUGE for me. Note that the MiniFuse 4 supports up to 500 mA keyboards via its USB-hub, so long as it's plugged in, whereas the MiniFuse 2 supports only up to 250 mA devices, which cuts out most external USB-compliant MIDI keyboards. Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to plug the MiniFuse 4 to a wall socket to make it all work, but that's still just a single wire. Oh, also, I've connected some synths to the audio inputs, and I've been running both the headphone and main Audio outputs, as well as the loopback interface both with the iPad and my mac, and it all works and sounds fantastic. The manual takes a bit of careful reading to understand the possible routings (for me at least, I'm a newbie at this) but it's well written and I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I didn't know I needed it, but now that I have the MiniFuse, I can't imagine not having it as the central hub to my synthesizer setup.

The magic keyboard is really nice in terms design and feeling of touches. The keys are even better than my old 2015 MBP which is also scissors keyboard. The travel is just right and the feedback is good. Pros: 1. Fit iPad Pro very well. 2. No Bluetooth required and thus you don’t need to switch whether you want to use keyboard. If you don’t need the keyboard, just grab iPad from it. Unlike the Bluetooth keyboard, you have to disconnect it otherwise, the on screen keyboard won’t show. 3. You can have a port for charge only and don’t take up the usb-c port. 4. Protective. This keyboard seems very strong. 5. Software integration is really good. Track pad works well. And it just feels like using a MacBook. Cons: 1. Very heavy. It is really heavy. I feel it is heavier than my iPad Pro. 2. When touch the number keys, there are chance that you will hit the edge of the iPad. The space between iPad and the keyboard is a bit tight. So you might hit iPad’s edge. 3. Some app and website might have issue with two fingers scroll on the track pad. 4. A bit noisier than my old MBP.

This case is the perfect compliment to the iPad. The Bluetooth keyboard is very responsive. The multi-color backlit keyboard makes it perfect in low light conditions. The case construction ensures that a 5’ drop will keep your iPad safe.

It's roomy enough for my iPad Air including the Bluetooth keyboard I attached to it. The handles are sewn securely to the case. I can easily slide the handles over my wrist when I need to use both hands temporarily for something else. I'm glad it doesn't have a shoulder strap like so many other cases. The zipper teeth are large enough to mesh easily and reliably every time.

Easy installation, looks great and connects seamlessly with my iPad Mini. It's not cheap but if you're tired of toggling your device's Bluetooth setting to get a connection with a cheap Bluetooth receiver and want audiophile level sound quality, then look no further.

I have a 2019 Mac Mini that always had weak bluetooth reception for my mouse & keyboard. I bought is as "refurbished" and this is probably why someone returned it in the first place. Anyway, to get to the point, I ordered 4 solutions from Amazon and this Mini USB adaptor was the only device that fixed my problem. I'm using that same keyboard & mouse to type this review. Even though there wer no instructions on the device, I did plug it in, turn off the Bluetooth reception in the Mac Settings, used a wired mouse to turn Bluetooth back on again and it has worked perfectly for the past 3 weeks. My frustration has ended!!! Thanks StarTech!

I'm impressed by the build quality (all aluminium) and the features. It's a really compact but very powerful bi-color fresnel. Easy to set up and adjust. I wasn't sure about the smartphone app but it's surprisingly easy to use. Bluetooth connection works even from 50ft like a charm and no need for annoying Bluetooth pairing, which is nice. I'm using 3 practilites at the same time via iphone in my studio and it's really a huge time saver. I'm running those on my gold- mount PAG batteries and a practilite runs on 100% for more than 2 hours. The boost mode was a bit confusing at first but it's just like an overdrive mode and can be useful when you need some extra lighting power but really don't care about the colour temperature. According to Kinotehnik boost mode must be disabled (or at least not recommended) while running on battery, though? All in all, a solid piece of equipment.

need a multiple bluetooth device connection, overall perfect design maybe use aluminium instead of plastic. very good sound quality
