The more I use my iPad (1, 2 and now 4), the more I think I need a keyboard. With a decent keyboard I can essentially leave the laptop computer at home, even though the laptop is already a very lightweight one. With a decent keyboard, I can browse the web, jot notes, tweet, update Facebook / Linkedin / Google+ status and compose / reply emails easily … and that’s pretty much all the things I do day in, day out.
So it’s like a mission to find the best keyboard for iPad. First, the original Zagg Solo – it’s a good one but not that protective. Then the updated Zagg ZAGGFolio – stylish, solid but heavy. Then I found a really good one – the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard. It’s beautiful, lightweight, and with a comfortable keyboard. The only down side is that it cannot protect the iPad very well.
That is the reason why I backed the Brydge + project in Kickstarter. From the project page, the keyboard certainly looks like the perfect keyboard – rock solid, good keyboard, and come with a speaker. 9 months (!) after the project get funded, I finally received the keyboard – it’s heavy, thick, and with sticky keys. You can check out the project comment page on how upset all the other backers are, in fact many still have not received their keyboards.
I am still using this keyboard every single day, while waiting for the next one – Belkin Ultimate Keyboard for iPad or Logitech Folio Keyboard.
Yes, the more I use my iPad, the more I think I need a keyboard.
