This might be kind of dumb but, does the keyboard charge the ipad?

no it does not. just the keyboard. Also be care full you don't break the charger out. It does not a lot to hold it in there.
1938032
No. The keyboard does not charge the ipad, nor the other way around - the ipad does not charge the keyboard.
1938033
No. In fact the keyboard has to be charged periodically by plugging it into a computer with a USB port.

No, the connection between keyboard and iPad is via blue tooth. Need to charge both separately with their individual chargers.

Yes keyboard needs to be charged. To fully charge it takes 1 hour. Charging cable is supplied when you bought the leyboard

No. The keyboard has a microUSB port to be used when charging the keyboard. The keyboard communicates with the iPad via Bluetooth, but that is for the transmission of keystrokes.

Charging cord comes with it. Just plug into keyboard and into ipad charger. Charging is good and stays charged long.

Yes, you can charge the keyboard. It doesn't take long at all. The good thing is you don't have to charge every day.

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.

Yes it does. Very handy to have the keyboard. You may need to charge the keyboard, but mine was already good to go.

Yes. If the keyboard is attached then you charge on the side of the keyboard. If no keyboard is attached, there's a slot in the case for the charger port.

It really depends on how often you use it. I use the iPad+keyboard for work almost daily and I must have to charge the keyboard every month or so. When I haven't used it as much, it's been times when I've had to charge it at the 2 month mark.

No. It protects the ipad and has a keyboard which can be removed if desired. You must use the cord/charger/USB to charge your ipad.

They keyboard charges with the same cable as an android device. Spare chargers / cables are also sold for the iPad or iPad mini if that's your question.

Yes BUT you will not be able to charge the tablet when you have the keyboard connected.

The box say to use the cable that comes with it. Also, I tried using that cable to charge my phone, and my phone wouldn't charge, probably because the cable that comes with it gives you less power output. Trying to charge the keyboard with your tablet cable (having more power output) may decrease the battery life on the keyboard. So the answer is no.

No. There is a physical connection between the keyboard and the ASUS Pad. I just checked it. When you charge the keyboard you are also charging the PAD because of the physical connection (by the way, the connection it the same as the charging plug).

i use the cable to charge the keboard through my computer USB port. i can also plug the USB cord into the plug that comes with the IPad abd charge the keyboard through an electrical outlet.

Yes, the keyboard is included. The IPad and keyboard each require separate chargers. It is a great package at a reasonable price.
