OMOTON Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Numeric Keypad for iPad 10.2 8th 7th Generation, iPad Air 4th Generation, iPad Pro 11/12.9, iPad Mini and All iPad iPhones, Black Gray

I love this keyboard for my iPad Pro! I also have an Apple keyboard, but after going back to college for Accounting, I found that I needed a full keyboard with a number pad on the right. It’s one of the few Bluetooth keyboards at such a low price with a number pad. I also bought a Bluetooth wireless mouse. They work seamlessly on my iPad together.It paired with absolutely low problems. The design is low profile and it looks elegant sitting on my dest. It’s super light-weight so I don’t even notice it in my small back-pack or tote bag.It does require two AAA batteries that are not included. It goes into sleep mode, so if you leave it switched on, it doesn’t waste battery life. Press [Fn/‘c’] and it pairs with no lag.It slips around and is a bit noisy on hard surfaces while you’re typing. I put my leather iPad sleeve under it for now. I’ll do this until I the time to glue some rubber dots onto the corners on the bottom. Not complaining about that for the price.

My only hesitation in buying this keyboard was the fact that it runs on batteries, rather than recharging with a cord, so I wanted to wait to write my review until the batteries ran out. Well kids, I’ve been using this keyboard daily for 5 months now and I’m still on the original batteries (they STILL haven’t died), so I think it’s safe to say they are WAY more convenient than using a cord every couple of days! BTW, when I say I use the keyboard daily, I mean ALL day every day because I use it with my iPad for work. In the 5 months I’ve had it, I’ve never once lost Bluetooth connection and I’ve often forgotten I’ve had it in my oversized purse because it’s so light weight. The 10 key number pad was very important to me because no other Bluetooth keyboards have them and the size of this one is perfect. You will not regret purchasing this keyboard, if something happened to mine I would immediately buy it again!

So the keyboard is very light. It connected with ease to my Macbook, and feels very nice to type on. Reconnecting was also very easy and seamless. I restarted/shutdown and turned on my computer again, and the keyboard connected automatically. Even when deleting the device on the bluetooth menu, it was pretty straightforward to reconnect. The problem I had was connecting to Windows 10, which did work. It asked to input a pin, but didn't give a pin. All I had to do was just input a pin I wanted, then repeat the pin on the keyboard. Now the only problem I have is that if I don't keep clicking/holding down a button, it stops working until I click the caps lock on my actual keyboard, then it shows all of the inputs that I clicked while it wasn't working. Otherwise, it's working with Apple OS devices very well, which it said it would do.

Gave this unit 2 chances. The original I received wouldn’t connect in any way to my computer. I tried the few hacks I found in prev reviews and on Google, tried a couple I know of myself - nothing worked. Thought maybe it was defective and ordered a replacement. Same issue with keyboard #2. I run Windows on a Lenovo for work, so maybe it’s a software compatibility issue, but it simply doesn’t function with my laptop. Also, neither unit came with a USB even though there’s a slot in the battery compartment for it? I’m not positive if the keyboard is advertised to come with one, but if it did that maybe could have solved my connectivity issues. A bummer overall because I like the style of the board - it’s lightweight, includes a numeric pad which is something I need, and it’s pretty sleek looking even though it’s cheap. Oh well. You get what you pay for.

Full sized keyboard that I use with my iPad 9.7” and it works PERFECTLY. This provides virtually the same functionality as the MacBook Pro keyboard. The only thing missing is an “escape” key, but that’s no biggie. I bought this keyboard because I was looking for something to use with my iPad to improve it’s portable computing use. I moved from a MacBook Pro to an iPad for my portable computing and this keyboard is making all the difference. Command W to close browser tabs in Safari, Command+tab to switch between apps, and a 10-key (I work in finance and this is key to me doing my job). The keyboard paired quickly and thereafter, is recognized immediately by the iPad and connects for work.I had been using another brand’s integrated case and keyboard and it was fine, but cramped. I have large hands and needed a full sized keyboard, and this fit the bill.

Okay, so I ordered it and the first once I received was a dud. Like it would turn on, light would blink, but then shut off. I couldn’t get it to stay on long enough to ever connect it to my iPad. However, Amazon was very quick in getting me a replacement keyboard, and it is working perfectly! (Honestly typing this with it! :D) I love how easily it connects to the iPad, as well as how light it is so that I can take it with me to class to more easily take notes on my iPad since the college wants us to use them as much as we can. I prefer using the keypad for doing anything with numbers, so this is also a total win with that addition to the keyboard.
