IPad keyboards advice please
Hi I just wondered what keyboards are compatible with the iPad I know about the one with the dock but are there any others?
Any replies would be appreciated. |

In theory any Bluetooth keyboard should work. I haven't seen a list, however this example shows a Dell keyboard working fine with the iPad http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5772/...ooth-keyboard/

Buy a laptop as they come with a keyboard as standard.

I can't understand the logic of spending several hundred pounds on what is hyped up as "the latest tech device", from the big fruit "apple", yet you feel the need to buy a keyboard. Then people will be asking "how do I stick my keyboard to my iPad" |

Thanks for the replies I bought a small apple Bluetooth keyboard for £35 so I am really pleased. I have a laptop but because of my disability I can't take it everywhere I need to but I can manage the iPad and keyboard when I need it.

Surely a small portable laptop would be so much easier? but in the end, its your choice.

The keyboard on the iPad works perfectly well, I can type quite quickly on mine, and would not dream of getting an external one for it, I have my lappie for that kind of thing
![]() I can cuddle down on the sofa with the iPad and type away on forums, my lappie is nore formal and on the table, so depending on what mood I am in, both has it's place. |

I will only be using the keyboard occasionally when I have to type letters or several long emails. I won't be using it all the time.

There's something amusing about paying loads of money to turn an iPad into a laptop...
