Post from ZaggKeys Folio iPad mini
Recently I purchased ZaggKeys Folio for iPad mini. I am typing this post from it and not editing my typos to show you how easy or not to type on this small keyboard.
Let's start from the pros:
- As thin as the ipad mini itself
- Lightweight. I vannot say its weight is not noticeable but pretty lightweight.
- Although some of thee keys have different layout, it is possible to touch type.
- Key presses are pretty quite.
- The weight distribbution of the ipadd andd the case is prettyy good.
Now here goes the cons:
- Repeats the characters. I aannot(cannot) say how often it repeats but it looks likee(like) almost 5 peercent(percent) of the time repeats the character that youu have typed. This is pretty annoying to be honest! You are buying a keyboard to type and it cannot type correctly!?
- The plastic feels flimsy and makes noise when you open and lose(close) te(the) lid.
Overall, I like the dessign and quility(for the price) of the product but this repeating characters issue is very annoying. I wil(will) give it one more day to test it and I will decide whether I should keep it or return it.
UPDATE:
This is the second with my ZaggKeys Folio for iPad mini and it looks like repeating characters issue is not happening right now. Last night I charged it and may be repeating issue was because of the low battery issues. I am happy to see that it works well after charging the keyboard.
UPDATE 2:
It looks like the repeating characters problem started to happen again with WiFi usage on my iPad mini. It is much less frequent right now but I will send another update if this becomes frustrating again!
UPDATE 3:
Now I am testing Apple's wireless keyboard with my iPad mini but I have not seen any repetition of characters. Also it is much less cramped! I personally believe it is a better investment to purchase a wireless Apple keyboard and a very simple case for your iPad mini.
FINAL UPDATE:
I am trying to build a travel environment for my self but it looks like ZaggKeys Folio case is not good for me, returning it back... Apple wireless keyboard and iPad mini with a simple case is the best option for me right now.
