Usb Keyboard For Ipad Mini

I purchased my iPad Air with the Apple Magic Keyboard. That keyboard is great for stationary use of the iPad (for sheer typing, it is better than the ZAGG and comes with a trackpad. However, I did not feel at all comfortable placing the iPad in a backpack with the Magic Keyboard; it did not protect the sides and the Apple Pencil was only secured by the charging magnet (it always came off during transport). With the ZAGG, the iPad is much more protected, and it secures the pencil to the case while also charging. The iPad can remain in the case, while either removed from the keyboard or reversed for use as a tablet. The Keyboard has a USB-C charging port, so an additional cord is not necessary (if only Apple would upgrade the iPhone to an USB-C…). It also holds a very long charge. If you travel a lot or frequently move your iPad, I highly recommend this keyboard.

I gave my wife an 11 iPad Air to upgrade from her 8 year-old iPad Mini. She used a key board with it, so I got her this keyboard for the new one. Seeing that this keyboard has all the features of a laptop rather than the simple typing keyboard she used to use, and the larger iPad, I am wondering if this is now just a laptop with detachable keyboard? Anyway she likes it, so five stars.

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.

I needed to extend a Midi USB output from my keyboard to an iPad and type B USB extension cable was the only option. I wish there was a longer cable but this one will do. It works very well.

I have owned every generation of iPad and have become a big fan of the Minis - great for travel, great for reading at night, and large enough screens to view photos, movies, etc. However, they never had the processing power and graphics capability of the larger models - until now. The new Mini Gen 6 has it all - great screen (now with very small bezel for greater viewing area) and now real horsepower. The first indication of that was doing updates to apps. Normally, the last Mini would take quite some time to process updates once downloaded. This new Mini blazes through updates much faster. Finally a Mini that sacrifices very little in comparison to the larger iPads. The swipe-only operation takes a little getting used to, but poses no disadvantages I can see so far. Just bear in mind this iPad (and all the other newer ones) requires a USB C charging cable (included). If you, like me, have tons of the old Lightning cables, they won't work. Additionally, many non-Apple USB C cables will not support charging, so be aware. Play it safe and use an Apple cable (comes with the cable and charger of course). As a side note, I have the new Apple folio case for this generation and it's pretty darn cool too. Great product, great B&H service!

I love the size of the mini iPad as I mainly read on it. I think the mini has often been overpriced (costing more than the entry iPad but often not as powerful as its refreshes have been far apart). But the 6th gen finally got me to replace my 2nd gen mini (it helps that my 2nd gen was feeling sluggish and not holding a charge for nearly as long). The 6th gen has some nice features that the entry level currently doesn't.I prefer the usb c to lightning (fewer cables as my other devices move to usb c). As a photographer, I like that the screen is wide gamut P3 instead of sRGB. I like that it supports Bluetooth 5 and Wifi 6. I also have a 2nd gen Apple Pencil for use on another iPad, so I like that I can use it on the mini if desired. I was a little concerned about scrolling issues with the screen since that has been written about a fair amount in the press ... but I haven't noticed any screen issues. Overall, very happy with the upgrade.

Works with my iPad mini gen 6, with an amazon USB A to C adapter. Comes with a nice cable with a choke in it, bet one must use that one. Not hi-fi but no distortion. for travel, I'll take it!

I have several mini iPads, but they are not up to date for the Photoshop and camera interface for both wireless and usb connections. This iPad Pro is the latest with 512GB memory and has met my expectations. It is very fast response/performance with a much better image quality and sharpness. Highly recommended.

I had an older 5th gen iPad mini that used the older 1st gen lightning-based Apple Pencil. The battery in my pencil finally died, so I needed a new one. It was a bit confusing as to whether this pencil was the correct replacement, since it mentions USB-C, rather than lightning, but I can confirm that this is indeed the 1st gen lightning-based pencil, that just happens to have a lightning to USB-C adapter mentioned in the product title.

This is simply the best keyboard for an iPad Pro.
