Do any of you guys actually use this ipad keyboard?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. Every starbucks or coffee shop I walk into. I see ipad users using Amazon.com: Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 Removable Keyboard, Case and Stand For iPad 4 with Retina Display, New iPad (3rd Gen) and iPad 2 (K39512US): Computers & Accessories this keyboard. Has anyone used this? It's a bit more expensive than the average ones. Please tell me how you feel about it and if its worthit.

Hi--I have moved this to the IPad 1,2,3 accessory section for better attention.

Thanks!

Once I got used to it, I do fine with the standard onscreen keyboard. I tried using the Bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac, but it isn't worth the bother.

I've never seen anyone using an iPad with a separate keyboard, whether in coffee shops or any other public place.

The inbuilt 'keyboard' works well. A separate keyboard may be handy if you're writing a novel, however, for most purposes it's not needed.

Well, I use an Apple BT keyboard w/ my iPad 2 under several circumstances: 1) Typing in a LOT of data into an app (e.g. Pages, Paprika - a recipe program, etc.); and 2) While on the road when checking emails that may require a longer response than a sentence or so. Setting up the Apple KB (cannot comment on the others since I've not used any others) is a breeze and really takes no time at all. Dave

No because I love the touch of the Ipad. Its so smooth and very responsive.

Not the keyboard you refer to. I use the Apple iPad docking keyboard for when I have loads to type etc.

While I love the iPad keyboard and find it useful for almost everything I do, I write newspaper columns and would like a separate keyboard with a case for my iPad. Any suggestions? I know there will be threads on those devices and will look later.

No it kills my wrists to type on iPad, hate the feedback from touch screen

I've been using an older version of the Kensington unit (with a non-removable keyboard) on my iPad 2, and it's worked very well. I only use it occasionally, but when I do use it, it has proved invaluable. About the only drawback is there is only one shift key, so if I'm not thinking about it, I mess up what I'm typing. The battery life is great (I charge it every few months), and the key-feel is acceptable.
