OMOTON Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard Compatible with 2018 iPad Pro 11/12.9, New iPad 9.7 Inch, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPhone and Other Bluetooth Enabled Devices, White

I bought this to work with my new (gen 7) iPad and I have not been disappointed. First, theres the look. I have two kinds of people come to my house: people that appreciate a good deal, and pretentious jerks. People in the first group have commented on the "Apple" keyboard I bought and were pleased to hear that it wasnt Apple and that I didnt have to sell a car to buy it. People in the second group have commented on my "Apple" keyboard and I just let them think I have money to burn. The setup was a breeze. Turn it on, pair with the iPad, done. We just leave it sitting there and it works when we need it, it goes to sleep when we dont need it. Its been running on the same set of batteries for months and hasnt missed a keystroke. There are plenty of options out there for a bluetooth keyboard, but this hits the sweet spot of look, price and functionality.

Just got this yesterday and my first impression is very positive. The keyboard is light, the keys have a nice little click and travel. The keyboard shortcuts built into IOS are very cool and boost your productivity nicely. Its nice to have shortcuts for volume, brightness, home button, volume, play pause, and many more. None of which are available on the super overpriced apple Smart Keyboard. I use the pro case leather folio case and this keyboard and it suits me fine at a fraction of the price of a Logitech. One down side is the keyboard is not rechargeable. It takes 2 AAA batteries which were not included, unfortunately. Also the lack of a backlight is a downside. But for the price and function Im giving it 4 stars. If i run into any issues i will update this review.

i just got this keyboard for my iPad Pro 10.5, and as others have reported, it is a lovely keyboard design. the instructions say it shuts off after 10 minutes to conserve battery life — which seems about right with my calculations. the keys are well spaced, and easy to type with. as a bonus, and of additional value, i can lock the iPad with one key, return to the home screen with another, or open and close the touch screen keyboard with another. for an external keyboard, its lightweight, comfortable, and quiet to tap on. ... but, and there always seems to be one of those, i regret to report that not all the keyboard characters work. to date, neither the concatenation key, or forward slash work on my iPad Pro 10.5. nor does the left carat above the comma, or the single apostrophe. while this may be fine for some keyboarders, it creates havoc for anybody typing HTML. i found myself having to use the touch screen keyboard to finish my coding. for some people this may not be a fatal flaw, but as it impacts my use, why keep a keyboard where only some of the characters work? [EDIT] July 25, 2017 ive upgraded my review by one star, because all keys seem to work on the MacBook Pro, and Monica offered excellent customer service — genuinely working with me to help me troubleshoot it. due to its compact size and design ill keep it as a backup for my MacBook. regrettably, my original caveat still applies to the iPad Pro 10.5. id love to get this fully functioning on all my bluetooth devices — but it was not to be.

I just got mine yesterday. It’s a great keyboard. It runs on 2 AAA batteries instead of being rechargeable which we don’t mind. It’s very lightweight and not too bulky. Connecting it to our iPad Pro and iPhones were a breeze. Reconnecting it between devices were easy as well. Just make sure that when you switch devices, you have to pair it back again to that device. I am currently using this keyboard to type up this review from my iPhone 6s and will be reconnecting it back to my iPad Pro after this. So far, keys are functioning properly although I haven’t really tried each one of them yet. UPDATE 05/24/2019: The keys are still working great. The batteries are still good, still the same ones I used from the beginning. I love this keyboard.

Wow, this is a really nice keyboard, especially for the price. It has a vey nice tactile feel, and the appearance is close to that of an Apple keyboard. Two small nit-picks, however. First, the keyboard lacks support in the center, so aggressive typing makes it bend and clatter. I fixed this by adding a rubber "bumper" (those things that make your cabinet doors close quietly) in the center under the space bar. It is rock solid now. Second, and I dont know if this is they keyboard or a feature of Bluetooth on the iPad itself, but after the keyboard has been idle for a while (10 minutes?), the connection times out and it takes 5 seconds or so of tapping on a key to restore the connection. A minor annoyance, but I thought it was worth mentioning. All in all, I am quite pleased with it.

I am using this keyboard with an iPad mini. Description: I selected the white option. The keys are white with dark grey lettering on the keys. The face of the keyboard is painted silver. The back of the keyboard is white . It looks well made. It does not feel cheap or flimsy. The size is perfect Its about 1/3 longer than my Ipad mini. the keys are well spaced. The keys DO make noise! The noise is a clackity clack noise...defiantly would be heard in a low noise ( library ) environment. The keys respond VERY well! I have detected no lag. I am not using many of the function keys . I can tell what it does when you misspell a word. It puts a redline under the misspelled word and you then touch the screen to select a replacement word. It does NOT offer predictive spelling. This keyboard uses AAA batteries. I think this is an excellent option as many low priced electronic items with built in batteries do not last. The battery case is on the back of the keyboard. The battery case is built into a ledge that slightly angles the keyboard. I much prefer the upward angle rather than the keyboard being totally flat. Usage : It works perfectly! This is one of the BEST items I have ever purchased for my tablet. I already loved my iPad mini but this has taken my enjoyment to another level. Overall, This is an almost ( noise ) a perfect product! If your in the market for a cheap functional keyboard to pair with your tablet this one is amazing! This would make an impressive gift for any tablet user.

Second update: Omoton saw my first update to my review when I changed it to 1 star, and they contacted me and sent me a new keyboard free of charge. The new one works perfectly and has for several days now. So Im back to my original review, and Im also happy to say their customer service is wonderful. I even bought one in white for my sons new iPad and he got it today and loves it. Update: I adored this at first. Then it stopped recognizing keys. The A key was first, then Z. So its not usable now :( This is a fantastic keyboard, especially considering the incredibly low price. Its actually pretty solid and sturdy feeling. I had no trouble linking it to my iPad (9.7 in Pro) and it immediately worked perfectly. I have been using it for several days now and have no complaints. Last night it did temporarily stop recognizing the "a" key, but I turned it off and restarted the iPad and it is back to working normally. I had never before gotten a keyboard for my iPad because I didnt find it necessary, but I started using it to take review notes for medical board studying and decided to try this out. I absolutely love having a keyboard and I have realized now how versatile the iPad truly is. Im especially looking forward to the iOS 11 update. My only trouble is that it is not very easy to transport because Im afraid it will get smushed somehow. I might try to figure out some sort of protective case for it. That said, its so inexpensive that I could also buy a second and keep one at work and one at home. Oh, also its pretty loud so I wouldnt try to use it for taking notes during a class or in another setting where the noise would be disruptive. For my purposes the noise doesnt matter. I highly recommend this keyboard. If for some reason it stops working or I have trouble with it I will update my review.

GREAT replacement keyboard. There are a couple drawbacks, but for the price its great. Pros: 1. Springy, responsive keys feel nice. 2. Takes 2 AAA batteries which can be easily replaced, also has a standby mode so you dont need to power it off every time. 3. Far cheaper than the official Apple alternative 4. Easy, no-hassle set-up 5. Same keyboard layout to the official Apple keyboard. Cons: 1. The ESC key is replaced with a generic "home" key which doesnt work on MacOS, but thats ok, I can remap the CapsLock to use ESC. 2. The Fn key doesnt appear to do anything. So using Fn-F# to use Fn-F1 thru F12 if you have set this up for MacOS do not work, and some other system shortcuts I have configured that rely on Fn do not work also, but again, not a huge deal, just some muscle memory to unlearn. All in all a fantastic replacement for the external Apple keyboard. Far more affordable.

Updating the review to reflect a more accurate review, originally I posted that it was completely useless under MacOS because it would go to sleep and never wake up. While the keyboard I received did this, Omoton has worked with me and replaced the keyboard and the new one does not have this defect. Big thumbs up to Omoton who has tried hard to make me happy. MacOS (take two) - While the keyboard works almost flawlessly under MacOS, the wakeup speed is fast and does doe what it is supposed to do; the lack of a n Escape key is a problem. I have tried hard to find a way to map the HOME button to an Escape key but was not able to do so, it just isnt seen as any key under MacOS. Generally this is not a problem and the keyboard would be find as it is; as long as whatever applications you are using do not need the ESC key (Im look at you VIM coders, this is not the keyboard for you then). Windows - Didnt spend a lot of time with it under windows, it is not recommended in general for windows; thus I didnt try too hard to get it to work. iOS (Pad & Phone) - This is where the keyboard shined, worked flawlessly. Work up rapidly, synced to the device without a problem and did great. If this is what you want to use the keyboard for, then this keyboard will be great. Its not expensive, it is well designed. Did everything that I needed it to do under iOS. AppleTV Gen 4 - Synced and just worked. Much like under iOS, it worked perfectly. If there was something that I would change, I would love to see the home button have a switch on the back side (just like the power switch) that allows it to be Escape instead of Home. That way the keyboard would work without a problem for either MacOS or iOS.

First impression: Packaging was secure and compact. The keyboard is protected very well during shipping. The blue packaging is thick and I like that it protects the box from moisture or water damage. Keyboard: Upon opening the keyboard I placed 2 AAA batteries then switched the keyboard on, and pressed the connect. The keyboard connected right away to my iPad Pro. Works flawlessly with all of my apps. Keys are tactile, and don’t require much pressure to depress. They are also not very noisy, it’s comparable to my current MacBook 2012 version. Once you type in the connection code you don’t have to do it again, the keyboard will be saved on your iPad and the keyboard will connect to the iPad automatically when turned on. When the iPad goes on battery auto save mode, it picks up and turns back on immediately to resume typing. This has become an essential for my class lectures everyday. Integration with iPad and typing: I actually prefer typing on the iPad than on my MacBook! With this keyboard typing on the iPad Pro is easy, and I can type much faster than I would if I were using the iPad itself. I also like that I can lay my iPad flat and still use the pen and keyboard at the same time. It’s also nice that when typing on the iPad, it has the autocorrect feature with I really like for when taking notes during lectures. Overall a great buy, and it’s super light and easy to take in a bag. I will be updating if there are any changes but other than that it’s great! I’ll be taking it along with me to school :).
