What do I need to buy to use microKEY 26 with an iPad Mini?

You will need the Camera Connection Kit that is compatible with your iPad mini. Then you can try the MicroKey25 directly plugged into the camera connection kit. I've gotten it to work without an external USB hub on an iPad 2. However, the MicroKey37 requires the externally powered USB hub (along with the camera connection kit).

The product is the Lightning to USB Camera Adaptor from Apple. There are also third-party products that provide similar features, but I can't vouch for their compatibility. I can't find a listing on Amazon that isn't ruinously overpriced (there's one for $52, but Apple sells it online and in stores for $29).

I am going to try mini iPad USB adapter at Apple store next. Nothing else that I got from Amazon worked. Plan on doing that next week. It looks iffy but it is the only thing left to try, and I have seen little to no info on this. I'll try it in the Apple store first and then let you know if if works ASAP.

You need an iPad camera adapter--it just has a female USB jack that you can plug into the keyboard.

The keyboard is bluetooth . It turns on and off with a switch on the keyboard. You can remove the keyboard from the mini and it will still work. The holder is just to hold the ipad mini up like a laptop screen.

The case & keyboard are currenty being used with a standard iPad not a mini. I'm sorry, I can't answer that qestion for you.

No the iPad is too enclosed for a keypad. I would recommended a keyboard folio.

No; the iPad mini has a different connector. You need an adapter. It should work with the adapter, though.

You'll need to charge the keyboard first. Mine came with very little charge. Once you've done that, there's a little switch on the side that's a power switch. Flip it on and then press the connect button. The indicator light should start to flash and that's how you know it's ready to be paired. Then go to settings on your iPad and enable bluetooth if it's not already on. When you see "Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" come up in the list of devices, click on it and wait for a little window to pop up. The window will ask you to enter the 4-digit code using the keyboard, then hit the enter button on the keyboard. It should then finish the pairing process on it's own. As far as I know it works with all iPads including first generations (though I'm not sure about the mini), so pairing shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Steven,One question comes up in my mind: Would your numeric keypad be compatible with any Android device? You better check that. If so, it's worth a try to buy that small cable for a few bucks and see what it does. I agree with Richard: a Blue tooth keyboard would definitely do the job. I use for instance the 'Rapoo E6300 Ultra-Slim keyboard for iPad' with my Acer tablet.Martin

No, Ipad mini has totally different input port . It's smaller than the older one that iRig work with.

Most likely the keyboard will work because it's Bluetooth. The Nexus probably won't fit inside it, however, as the mini 9 was made for the iPad mini.

If i'm not mistaken, the ipad mini needs a lightning adaptor. This adaptor has no way of connecting to the mini as it uses a micro usb and the old ipad/ipod connector (female). So, the short answer is, no.

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

I don't think it will work on the mini. There aren't any adapters in the box which make it smaller than the standard iPad size.

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"

Sorry, I don't know. However, I have a 7 inch tablet with a mini connector or port (female). The keyboard I bought has a usb male. I use this connector to connect the two- the keyboard's usb male to the connector's usb female, and the mini male of the connector into the tablet's mini female,. It works fine. One thing to remember, though, is the difference between the mini and the micro. Make sure your port is the mini and not the micro. (Maybe you already know this, but I was totally confused. If you don't know the difference, see http://gizmodo.com/5030810/giz-explains-an-illustrated-guide-to-every-stupid-cable-you-need.) Sorry, I don't know.

I am not sure about that, however, I have seen cases on mini ipads where there is a keyboard attached. I would suggest you look at the mini keyboards for sale for ipad mini and check out the case that is on the ipad.
