When Apple released the iPad mini with Retina display, some people were disappointed because it was slightly thicker than the original.  That meant it was probable that many accessories for the original wouldn’t work with the newest model.  That’s not the case with the Minisuit Bluetooth QWERTY Keyboard Stand Case for iPad mini 1 &

One keyboard to pair with them all…

Kanex Multi Sync Keyboard 1

Or at least pair with three devices simultaneously.  At first blush, it seems the Multi-Sync Keyboard from Kanex is designed to work only with Apple products, but reading closer reveals that this Bluetooth keyboard also works with Windows and Android devices, too.  You can even use it with your Apple TV.  This isn’t unexpected from

Because virtual keyboards on tablets always present a problem for some users, there are a multitude of keyboard cases on the market.  The keyboards for the full-sized tablets are undersized and can be difficult for touch-typists to type on because of their non-standard layout.  I was surprised when I heard that manufacturers were introducing keyboard

Several months ago, a friend of mine gave me a challenge.  It was to write a page a day, any format I wanted, as long as I was writing roughly 700 words daily.  While by no means did I ever consistently meet that goal, it did kickstart the writing bug in me again. I primarily

As someone who can touch type much faster that I can write with a pen, I prefer to use a physical keyboard with my tablet vs. an onscreen keyboard any day. Especially if I’m working on a review or writing a really long email. Most keyboards designed for tablets can’t be used on your lap,

Eagle Tech Neptor ET-KB300BF-WH Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for Tablets & Smartphones review

Bluetooth keyboards tend to come in two varieties: a case for a tablet you are using with a keyboard built in, or a universal Bluetooth keyboard that is not device-specific. The Neptor ET-KB300BF-WH Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for Tablets & Smartphones by Eagle Tech, USA falls into the second category.   It’s a portable keyboard that can

I suppose it’s because of the iPad mini’s small size, but the market hasn’t seemed to flood with a gazillion keyboard cases for it.  Some of the cases that I’ve seen have been more like Apple’s Smart Cover in design, which I much prefer to those typical folio cases.  ZAGG has a Smart Cover-style Bluetooth

I’ve reviewed several iPad keyboard cases in my time at The Gadgeteer.  All of them until now have been for the full-sized iPad, and most of those have been leather or faux leather folio cases.  I don’t like folio cases for my iPad, because I just don’t use a keyboard very often, and the big
