Does the p batteries keep the IPad charged or does the key board use the battery. Just kind of confused on that.

It use the battery after full charged. The space key don't response, you need to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth and it work again, after typing for say half an hours the same problem will resurface. Another problem which I would like to feedback is stand that hold the iPad Air, unlike TC930 model c/w back support, this model does not, it all depends on groove to hold the ipad, any moment to it may damage our ipad glass or tempered glass in my case.

Yes, it does. You do have to charge keyboard in order to keep it activated, but that is easy to do, I just plug mine in at night when I have my iPad plugged in and in the AM its all set to go to work. I just love it and it is so much nicer than using the screen. I really use my iPad much more now; prior to getting it i ued it mainly to read books, short emails and play Lumosity and Scrabble. Now it is just like a lap top, almost! Good luck with your decision.

Once charged, I used the key board about 3-4 hours daily for one and a half week, and still with battery!!! But this depends on the use!!

Mine uses the same charger for the keyboard and the tablet. When the tablet and keyboard are plugged together, they will both be charged at the same time.

The keyboard is only loosely held in by velcro; recharging in or out of the case is no issue.It has a separate on/off switch; a charge lasts for days if kept off when not typing.

The charging cord that you use for your i pad is what will also charge the keyboard. Charge your i pad first then disconnect the i pad and use that same charging cord on the keyboard.I have two i pad charging cords so I use one to charge the keyboard and the other for the i pad, I have a i pad 3 if you have the i pad 4 you will have to get a charging cord that is used for the i pad 3 or i pad2 as you need the one with 30 pin which the i pad 4 does not use. The 30 pin charging cords cost about 7 dollars. Hope this helps you out with your question.

I have not had a problem with mine not keeping a charge, but I did notice when I first charged it that you need to make sure that the cable is going through the provided hole properly so that it stays connected. I didn't have mine in all the way and didn't notice it and it didn't hold the charge long that time. After I paid better attention to connecting the cable it has been fine ever since. Don't forget that the keyboard has a separate usb charger on the right hand side of the keyboard that also needs to be charged. I know this isn't much but I hope it helps. Lora C

Bluetooth keyboard uses 2 AAA batteries. They have lasted appx. 30+ hours using quality batteries. I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

The battery for the keyboard lasted a few months for me. But, it did not come with a charger. I think it uses the newest iPad charger. I have the older iPad two charger so it doesn't fit.

It syncs by bluetooth. Just go into the settings on your ipad and turn bluetooth on. As long as the keypad is charged it will sync automatically and you'll see "logistech keyboard" come up on the bluetooth settings screen. It should come charged out of the box. There is a little blue light that comes on the top right side to tell you it's charged.

yes this is a blue tooth keyboard, so it will work if your ipad is in another case. If you don't close the keyboard then it will use the battery, so that is why it needs to be slammed shut.

I don't use the keyboard as often as I thought I would but I use the case to protect the iPad. The battery on the keyboard does last a fair amount of time but seems to die when needed most.

the keyboard is Bluetooth. you charge up the on-board battery in the keyboard and then switch the power on the keyboard. then you verify that you have the Bluetooth option on your ipad enabled and the Ipad should sync with the keyboard.

Two, my iPad will drain the battery but it recharges the iPad. My phone uses very little of the PowerGen while it is attached.

No. The keyboard does not charge the ipad, nor the other way around - the ipad does not charge the keyboard.

No. The keyboard does not have a battery. It uses the power from the tablet. You can plug a charger into it so the tablet charges.
