Does Bluetooth Keyboard Drain Ipad Battery

So perhaps I was too quick to judge. I was having horrible battery life issues with my SL2-S and then I discovered that bluetooth was ON, which is fine, but not when Auto Wakeup is also ON. With this configuration on the SL2-S it will very quickly drain the life out of a battery even when the camera is switched off or asleep. Leaving both of these off significantly improves battery life and if Auto Wakeup is off bluetooth can remain configured ON and not drain the battery when the camera is switched off. Hope this helps others...

Does everything you could want, protect your iPad, has a great keyboard, iPad can easily be detached from keyboard & it still provides protection!!

I used this product because it is less drain on my camera battery

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.

i really didn't want to spend so much money for this keyboard with No Function Keys, like i had on my Brydge Keyboard ( junk, don't buy it ) i read the reviews on Limited Viewing Angle. i wanted Backlit Keys for sure. my Smart Keyboard is a disappointment, so i expected better this time around. when i first got the Magic, it Froze my Screen & App for about 4-5 times, which freaked me out a little. now all is well, i Like it, works great. No Internal Battery to worry about not holding a charge like other 3rd party keyboards ( runs off IPad Battery ) cmd & H is the Home Key combo, the Audio still has to be Adjusted with the Top Buttons or the Swipe Down Control Center. i am very happy to have a Well Working Apple Keyboard for my 12.9 IPad Pro. you will too but it is very pricey like everything Apple
