Update I paired my iPhone 8Plus the day I received this but haven't 'dialed back' to it since then, using my iPad Air instead. Just now I 'dialed' to my iPhone and it paired right up. I didn't have to do a thing but pair it that one time. I'm so happy with this keyboard! and it still types like a dream! YAAAY!
---
I didn’t want this keyboard at first because it runs off regular batteries—I’m used to keyboards that are rechargeable. So I looked at this keyboard for quite a while before ordering it—So glad I took the chance to order it!
1. Logitech makes quality keyboards in comparison to many keyboards I’ve owned. And believe me, I have had quite a few of them, most of them clunkers. I had a superb Logitech that I unfortunately and regretfully gave to a friend when I received a more expensive, but not better I later found, keyboard from another company. I miss that Logitech so much!
2. This keyboard types like my laptop keyboard, and that’s a good thing as my old workhorse laptop types well. It’s a good sized keyboard; keys well-spaced. There is an actual delete key! Yay! The keys themselves are large enough so that if you have big hands/fingers you will be happy about that; I have small hands and does well, too. Easy to see what’s what with the keys, function-wise.
3. Pairing was SUPER easy. I paired my iPad Air 2 first. Bluetooth connectivity was fast and simple. I then turned the dial and paired my iPhone 8Plus next—same thing, super easy and connected fast. I then dialed back and forth between the two without any problems at all. Awesome!
4. Even when you turn off the keyboard, it automatically pairs when you turn it back on and I’ve tested this over and over and zero problems.
5. NO KEY LAGGING OR SNAGGING OR STICKY KEYS OR DELAY! This is one of the more important concerns for me. The last keyboard I had lagged, had sticky keys, and dropped letters letters right out of the box. This one types like a dream and I am a super fast typer—really fast. I have had no missing letters, lagging behind, delays, sticky keys —nothing, just perfect typing.
6. I like the slot where you can put your tablet/smartphone and have easy access to them. Though if you put your older iPad vertically, the home button can be a little low.
7. This keyboard feels substantial. It doesn’t feel cheap.
8. Comes with the keyboard, 2 batteries included. There is not an instruction pamphlet but you won’t need it. If you look at two of my photos, there is a strip across at the top that shows you how to work/pair it—you can remove this strip once you do this.
9. If I had any ‘negatives,’ it would be: The on/off button is on the bottom of the keyboard. Not a huge deal and not a deal-breaker, but if it were on the side, it would be more easily accessed without having to remove your device first, turn it over, and turn it on/off. As I stated above, I wish it were rechargeable, but I will use rechargeable batteries. However, it not being rechargeable perhaps is why it was more affordable.
10. This does not come with a cumbersome case. I’m all so OVER cases with attached keyboards or keyboards that fall out when you pick up the case. I can pick up my iPad or phone out of the slot and use it that way, or use it with the keyboard. Though this keyboard is a bit bigger than some, I don’t mind it—really, if you add a case and keyboard to your tablet, it’s going to be about the same size.
I LOVE MINE! If this keyboard keeps on working as it is now, my quest for a good keyboard is over, and all for less than $30 (at time of this review). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
