    Hi all,

    Apologies if this thread has been done before but could someone recommend a keyboard for an my iPad.

    I'm liking for something that is a sleek as possible. My iPad is the latest release.

    Thanks

    I don't have much experience of third party keyboards but the official Apple Bluetooth one is pretty slim and light.

    I was in Compu b at the top of Grafton Street last week, looking for exactly the same thing. The kind folk there ended up recommending two alternatives (ones they had in-store themselves, naturally).

    The first was the one Zcott is referring to (I think), the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Slick and sweet in the classic Apple style, but it's very much standalone:

    Same product with bigger pics:

    The other option was a Logitech keyboard (also bluetooth) that was part of a self-contained/all-in-one cover & keyboard unit:

    Haven't yet taken receipt of my incoming iPad Air, so haven't made a choice yet.

    I've used one of those Keyboard/Case combos, like the Logitech one, and I did find it quite cramped to type on. And I've an 11" Netbook as my primary laptop, so I'm used to small keyboards. That's not say they are bad in anyway, but if you've ever used a 10" Netbook Keyboard, it'll give you a taste of the typing experience.

    The Apple one is a full sized keyboard, and comes with the Apple quality too so really comes down to how portable/combined you need the keyboard to be.

    I have an iPad mini, and I got this one a few weeks ago. I don't use it loads, but I have to say the build quality is very good (VERY good for the price) and it has dedicated ios buttons. I'd recommend it if you're on a budget, or just don't feel like shelling out a whole heap on something you might not use. It's pretty comfortable to use too.
