What is the difference between the bluetooth3.0 keyboard and the one for iPad 2/3/4? I plan to use it with my macbook.

Keyboards for iPad are just optimized for use with iPads. Bluetooth 3.0 is just a type of Bluetooth. Keyboards for iPads likely use Bluetooth 3.0 if they are new. Either would work with your MacBook. This keyboard has the feel of the Apple Wireless Keyboard for less than a quarter the price.

I have the IPAD 3 (large plug) google the dimensions of the IPAD 1 vs the 3, if they are the same thickness them yes, the Sharksucker will work. I've seen many Bluetooth keyboards but like my sharksucker.

It has a USB connector , and 2 USB ports on the keyboard the same as the Apple keyboard. You'll need to go into system preferences so that your computer will recognize the keyboard but you are guided through the procedure by a series of prompts. I like it much better than the Apple keyboard - I've had 2 of the Apple keyboards fail in the last 3 or 4 months, and the Macally seems more durable. Oh, and contrary to an earlier comment it DOES have an "eject" key except that it is one key further to the right of the keyboard than on the Apple. Works fine.

You connect it as you would any blue tooth device. Make sure you have the Bluetooth setting on the "on" position on the iPad. It will seach for the new device (device must be on the "searchable" setting), then you can pair them up. The keyboard is great and does the job pretty good.

Hi Robin, Can never keep the designations straight, replaced the very worn keyboard on my MBP with one of these, it works absolutely the same in feel and function. MBP 4,1 2.6 GHz core 2 Duo. If that's what you have, go for it. - John

Bluetooth-wise it works just fine. I have an iPad Air that I was using it with but didn't want to buy another keyboard for my iPad Air 2. Besides, on the Logitech forums a lot of people are complaining about the hinge and weak magnet on the their new keyboard for the iPad Air 2. It's not elegant but i cut a thin strip of cardstock the length of the slot on the keyboard and insert it behind the Air 2 to make it stand a bit more upright. The Air 2 is thinner and leans back too far for my liking w/o this. If there is a magnet to keep the keyboard closed when transporting then it doesn't mate up with the one in the Air 2 so you'll need a sleeve or another inelegant solution like a rubber band. :)

Hi StudioNiza,I'm actually not really sure. If the dimensions of both iPad 2 and 3 are the same, then you should have no problems fitting it into the slots. And Bluetooth is already available on iPad 2, so that wouldn't be a problem. It's a great product. I absolutely love it and I love taking it to work with me. I can study and write my notes very easily with this. Just a tip. If you do decide to buy it, when you get it, instead of closing your iPad over the keyboard as instructed, fold the upper flap over the iPad screen first and then close it over the keyboard. It will keep your iPad asleep and no chance of scratches or anything.Hope this helps! Sincerely,Sahar Hi StudioNiza,I'm actually not really sure.

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.

I had problems using this keyboard with my MacBook Pro. The Mac kept dropping the keyboard and with the Mac you lose the function keys. It may work with other computers with Bluetooth.

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

I don't know the answer to your question, Spencer. I am using the Brookstone Bluetooth Keyboard with an Apple iPad 2 (MC773LL/A) Tablet.

I purchased the same keyboard and ended up giving up on it. I had nothing but problems with the keyboard. I ended up going with the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. It's much better. If you're still within the period when you can return the keyboard for a refund, I recommend doing so.

We have the iPad 3, which works fine. Don't know about iPad 2. Perhaps the best thing is to contact the manufacturer, or compare specs of the two iPads. I can tell you that the leather case & keyboard work very well on the iPad 3 - glad we bought it.

It links via Bluetooth, if you have the right/latest bluetooth on any other device.The difference is the *keyboard* itself: This one has Mac/iOS alt/cmd/etc. keys; the Android version has Android-ish Home/Back, etc. keys.Android version here: AmazonBasics Bluetooth Keyboard for Android Devices - Black

I have a Mac Book Pro and the solar keyboard will not work unless the computer has bluetooth. However, I did not find the charge reliable. In other words, it would have 12 hours to charge and it still was not compatible with my new iPad Mini.

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.
