iPad Bluetooth Keyboard at a bargain

Are you looking and looking for a wireless bluetooth keyboard for your iPad, read this article to help you decide if this one is right for you.

Recently I was in need of a keyboard for my iPad 2, I as checking online and found several but easily over $50 dollars. Until I found an iPad Generic Bluetooth keyboard that looks like the keyboard Apple sells for $60 dollars for half the price at $29 and here it is pictured below.


This keyboard is great for the price it has the following pros and cons:

Pros:
- made of durable plastic for normal use.
- keys click is soft
- letters and numbers easy to read
- keys function with great response time. No lag noticed.
- Cost
- Easy to access battery slot on the back that uses 2 "AAA" batteries
- Has an on/off sliding button on the back, easy to access and protected
- Keyboard is tilted around 15 to 20 degrees
- Comfortable
- Easy sinks to iPad/iPad 2, only one time needed
- Easy access key controls above keyboard

Cons:
- Sink button can only be pressed in with small object not included.
You can use a pen/pencil or paperclip
- It goes to sleep to fast, if you don't keep it active it shuts off after 38 - 40 seconds. It can be a pro cause since it saves battery. Comes back to life in a matter of seconds.
- Not Apple material, lets face it, if you want something better you have to spend more, but this keyboard does the job for those beginner bloggers and people that want to save money.

Function keys above keyboard do the following:

Square key = home key to return to home screen on iPad
F1 = Search
F2 = Decreases brightness
F3 = Increases brightness
F4 = Photo viewer
F5 = hide or show keyboard
F6 = unknown,(empty space)
F7 = reverse skip
F8 = play/pause
F9 = forward skip
F10 = mute button
F11 = volume down
F12 = volume up
Lock Key = locks your iPad

I purchased this keyboard from Amazon, just type in the following:

iPad Generic Wireless keyboard

Scroll down until you find it, price $29 dollars plus shipping.
Overall this is very nice purchase and works really well for ipad applications.
