Use Ipad As Usb Keyboard For Mac

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 have used multiple keyboard for this and other iPads. This is by far the best and helps close the gap between the iPad and my Mac laptop, given the touchpad functionality.

Switches computers fairly fast, including auxiliary USB. No obvious snags. I use a Macintosh keyboard and everything works as expected except the eject key, which is not important to me. Switching among Mac, Windows and Linux without a hitch. Solidly built and heavy. Both front and rear aux USB, which is nice. Also, if you turn off or suspend a computer it will automatically seek out the next one that's running (or do nothing if that was the last one closed). Can configure and operate from a wired Mac keyboard also (I don't have any Bluetooth and there are warnings regarding that approach). I was, however, not able to get it to work with VGA using any of the adapters I have. Don't count on mixing VGA and DVI therefore.

This is a great large keyboard for Mac. Very easy to see. The cap light is great to see when cap button is on. The plug in Led usb lamp is a great bonus and plugs in to the Keyboard. The two usb receptacles are another bonus !

I bought mine from Bestbuy, albeit price-matching I had to pay extra for in-store tax purchase. Two factors I love about this keyboard:  Unifying Receiver and Illuminated keys. Since the new 2018 MacBook Pro build in keyboard, or even the Apple Keyboards, does not illuminated on startup having this Logitech Craft is a blessing. I work a lot in dark places and mostly off site. The USB C charging is another plus for a traveler like me as most my peripherals are usb c already. They keys are premium and the body has a solid build. The heavy weight can be discouraging but it makes it much more stable.  The keyboard is very smooth and the travel on these keys are just right. Not too shallow and not too gamer mechanical. Very polished and disciplined. The unifying receiver plus a 3x option Bluetooth profile is very convenient. I have a single monitor with the usb receiver plugged into it and it makes switching from PC to MAC to MAC to PC to PC etc much more efficient with out installing/paring bluetooth profiles. The wheel takes time getting used to but it is a game changer from Softwares I already use on a daily basis.

Well made. Designed for Mac Time Machine Use. What a breeze this was. All I did is hook it up to the USB port and click start. The rest was done. And, it came with a USB to HD cord that was very handy

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.

This is simply the best keyboard for an iPad Pro.

It works with mac, iPad, and PC fine!
