We have 2 iPads - one for my job and one for our personal use. Both are 2nd generation. Can we use this keyboard on each device?

You can use this device with both, but I returned it...I did not like it...it was clumsy, heavy, not easy to use. I do think there are better options out there.

If you are meaning using the same keyboard for two ipads, I don't see why not. I have never tried that, but don't see any issues as they both work off the bluetooth anyway. After syncing, should be okay as both units are identical

Yes, but I have to dissable the blue tooth on one to ensure there is no conflict between the two.

Not really. The keyboard is part of the case that enfolds the ipad. It would be a hassle to change it all the time. Because it's wireless Bluetooth perhaps if the two ipads were beside each other the keypad might work both. Don't know - never tried.

I am using my keyboard with my iPad 2 and it works great. I would think it would work with any tablet with a bluetooth connection.I tried it with my laptop using a bluetooth adapter and it worked.

Hi, sorry.., I have only used this with the first gen iPad. I do, however, believe the manufacturer makes inserts which facilitate iPads with different form factors. I would do a google search on Skadoosh and contact them directly. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I have tested the keyboard with my IPAD mini 1st generation. And it worked perfectly except that the mouse pad wasnt functioning. I think it's the ios apple program that doesnt let the mouse pad work. But the keyboard itself works perfectly

As long as it's not too far away. If it's just like a foot away or so, you should be good to go. The keyboard and the ipad don't have to be physically touching each other to work together.

If your keyboard supports bluetooth, then it can be connected to your iPad. If the keyboard only supports USB 2.0, then your tablet needs USB 2.0 support as well.

As long as keyboard is near enough for bluetooth to operate and is opened it will work even if iPad is in a different case.

I don't know, as my iPad never succeeded in syncing with the keyboard. My daughter has gotten used to using the iPad key on screen, so it isn't that big a deal. If it worked (and I have other bluetooth keyboards), you can type to the iPad from several feet away. It does not have to be physically in the case. The key board is fixed to a panel that can be moved wherever you want it.

It might work, the 1st generations are a little thicker, though, and the fit is already a bit snug. The keyboard would work just fine, but the case probably won't be an ideal fit and I'd advise giving this a pass for 1st generation iPads.

I dont know if its compatible with any other device. If I know of anyone who has another device I'll have them try my keyboard, however I didn't see on the instructions that it was limited to only the ipad.

I am unable to use this with my Ipad 2, when connected it thinks it is a keyboard.

The keyboard will be used for (primarily) a tablet and a media center. Since the media center is now only controlled by a remote, reentering the key is not an option (don't want to hook up a mouse every time to initiate the pairing ceremony). Meaning, I want to be 100% sure that the bluetooth keyboard will remember to which devices it is paired with.

Hi Julee, I agree with the previous comments. You have to 'pair' the ipad and the keyboard together. Here are some instructions from apple. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4111

It will work with any device that has bluetooth connectivity. But the "specialty" (iPad) function buttons won't do anything. Typing works perfectly fine. Just make sure you're device has the bluetooth function before buying the keyboard.

It should work just fine. I bought it thinking I could use it with my iPad mini bluetooth keyboard but found that it did not work as iPad does not have a "cursor"

Yes, you can type on the keyboard when both are laid out flat. There is no special position that the iPad have to be in in order for you to use the keyboard.

I'm not sure about this. I originally bought the Belkin for the keypad, but exchanged it for the Kensington Portfolio with bluetooth. I like it because the keyboard is magnetized and can be easily removed if you want to use it elsewhere or not travelwith it at all. The Kensington Pro keyboard touch for iPad2 is very nice and responds well I don't know about difference in sizing between your iPad and my iPad 2. I'd suggest you look at the Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 Removable Keyboard, Case and Stand For iPad 4 with Retina Display, New iPad (3rd Gen) and iPad 2 (K39512US) on Amazon. Good luck!
