    Problem w/ Kensington Keyfolio Pro 2

    I just got this case and I'm having this problem -
    Kensington - Tablet - iPad & iPad 2 - Cases Sleeves & Bands - KeyFolio

    The keyboard repeats letters. Like I'm holding them down. I try to backspace to stop it but backspace repeats. I try ton type on the iPad keypad but backspace is still repeating so i get one letter and it backspaces over it. I have to turn off the keyboard and then turn off Bluetooth on the iPad to stop it. Then a couple times the iPad keypad isn't visible and I can't get it to show so I have to turn back on the Bluetooth keyboard and hit the keyboard button to have it come back on

    I've posted on Kensington support site also.

    Anybody got any ideas??

    Sounds like the device has a severe ghosting problem. I would try to get a replacement device and see if that fixes the issue. If not, it could be something interfering with the bluetooth connection.

    I'm not familiar with the ghosting term. Idk but it's annoying.

    I have the same problem with the Kensington Keyfolio Pro, MODEL #: K39357US . Does anyone know if this is a common problem with this keyboard? Are there better keyboards out there for the iPad2? Also, how do you get the on-screen keyboard to reappear on the iPad2 once you close it? Thanks!

    Not a plug, but I got the Belkin kbd folio for my iPad2 and love it. Good key feel, very very close to standard size desktop keyboard, so typing is quick. I'm still not quite used to hitting the space bar as hard as it requires, so I keep smooshing words together (not that it requires hitting it HARD; it's just a little harder than what I'm accustomed to). The iLounge review is pretty good, has pictures and such. No problems with it in a few weeks of actually doing some real writing on the thing, like the way it folds up so you can pretend it doesn't even exist. You can sit it upright on a desk and freely adjust the angles, so it's like a laptop. Or you can just fold the kbd out below the iPad and sit the whole thing on your lap fairly comfortably. Very happy with the folio/kbd.

    The Belkin kbd does have a keyboard button on it, so if I want the software kbd to appear back on the screen, I just press the key on my Belkin and the on-screen kbd appears. Love the Select All key, too.

    Sorry this doesn't address your issue directly, but thought I'd make the suggestion.
