<p>Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on a keyboard that works well for the iPad mini? Thanks! It’s our new toy and I’m thinking it would be more useful at meetings if I could actually type on it more readily than using the touchscreen. I am still not used to typing on glass.</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestions. Have read a few reviews of different keyboards but am pretty undecided.</p>
<p>Not sure about mini, but my daughter and a lot of her classmates and faculty use the Zagg folio with the regular Ipad. It is a case with the keyboard built in. although it can be removed from the case. After daughter dropped and destroyed the keyboard, Zagg replaced case and keyboard no questions asked.</p>
<p>The worm got me the Logitech keyboard for ipad, and In think it is great. I respect his opinion on all computer questions.</p>
<p>have fun on your trip!</p>
<p>We bought this iHome keyboard to use with our regular size iPad. I’ve been happy with it - lightweight for traveling and the keyboard is more of a regular size than some of the mini keyboards that for me were hard to type on - we actually purchased ours in a Staples store where they had a display model to see actual size, place your fingers on, etc.</p>
<p>The reviews here appear not good, but if you read them, they just reference things that are more personal options:

<p>I use the apple wireless keyboard, then I can use it on my lap or wherever convenient.</p>
<p>Anyone have experience specifically with the iPad mini, since its smaller and some of these keyboards are too? Thanks.</p>
<p>I recommend going into an office supply store to “trial” a keyboard. I would have thought that I would want one of the “mini” ones but upon looking/feeling them they were so crowded and I just didn’t like the feel of the keys. The one I decided on above, isn’t the physical size of a regular keyboard but more the key placement and spacing is - which was a plus to me (in addition to it being lightweight)</p>
<p>Yes, I have tried the Apple aluminum keyboard. I seem to make a lot of typos using it. Maybe I’ll get better with it, but somehow my fingers are more used to the standard size keyboard, where I can touchtype without looking at the keys. Am not sure I can do that when I use the cramped keyboards. Would be OK with a full-size Bluetooth keyboard that is compatible with the iPad mini. Will have to look around maybe at office supply stores and try using the Apple keyboard our webmaster has again.</p>
<p>I also use a regular wireless keyboard. I have 2 clips - you can buy them for $10-12 on Amazon, called WINGStand - that slide on the keyboard and hold the ipad in either orientation. It may not be the easiest thing to set up at a meeting though. I haven’t used a keyboard case.</p>
