Anker Bluetooth Keyboard Connected But Not Working

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.

Gives all the buttons I need. And I don't look like a weirdo with a full bluetooth keyboard when working in a coffee shop.

Fixed disconnect-on-Bluetooth and random-disconnect issues I'd had with the original cable AND an Anker replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried out the 60w braided USB-C charging cable from Anker! I was super excited about this because I love Anker as a brand. But it worked fantastic as expected. It was Fast-Charging Capable and charge my android phone and tablet super quick. The only thing I think was a bit unexpected was the downsides of having a longer charging cable than normal. I usually opt for a longer cable if possible because it can be a pain to charge with a short cable and be restricted. But a longer cable like this one also has its downsides like getting caught on things due to its length. But if that's the only downside, its a fantastic product. Anker has done it again. Way to go. I would absolutely recommend to anyone!

It connected my ps/2 keyboard to switch box so I could use my computer switch.

Read the fine print. This uses Bluetooth LE, and that requires an iPad3 or better. After wondering why it didn't work with either iPad2 here, I found that tidbit (which I had missed) in the fine print, hemmed, hawed, and opted to upgrade the iPad side of the system. It is a quality product, which on the one hand seems quite pricey for what is effectively a 2 button bluetooth keyboard, but on the other hand is much better made than whatever I might kludge up from a cheaper bluetooth keyboard with many more keys. The keys are lit, soft, and silent, and the device is considerably more affordable than some others in its niche - and with the keys on top, not over the edge, it works fine on carpets (some reviews indicate that is a weakness of some competing devices.) For hands-free page turning it really is ideal. Intended for foot operation, it is a bit larger than you'd expect from the pictures.

My old Anker multi-port quit working as an SC card reader (although it's still fine for my microphone, webcam, etc. etc.). I got this as an SD-only solution. It's small and the cord is relatively stiff so I expect it will hold up despite its cheap price. It travels well in my camera bag and in the small pouch I use for chargers, cables, etc. It's worked flawlessly so far. Zero complaints. Oh and yeah as usual service from B&H was tremendous: good price, easy ordering (unless it's Saturday but come on this is not an emergency, I can wait a day to order) and very quick free delivery.

Thank you @Logitech!

I love my amazing headphones. The sound is very clear and I love that it can be connected by Bluetooth or by the cable.

This keyboard works well with my Dell laptop. Easy Bluetooth connectivity.
