can this keyboard work without Bluetooth (on an airplane)

I haven't taken it on an airplane yet. As far as I am aware, it will only work by Bluetooth as this is the way it connects to the iPad mini.

no, you have to have the bluetooth on! but I just used it on a plane, just put bluetooth on once you can use approved electronics

Not at all. It's connected via blue tooth, so as long as they're close by. Although the keyboard worked even when the iPad was in a different room in the house.

You have to own a device (tablet, smart phone, computer) that has a built in Bluetooth and will connect wirelessly to the keyboard. They will pair each other and work as long as there is a connection between the two. You don't need to buy a separate Bluetooth device to make it work. Just be sure your devices are Bluetooth capalbe. I am typing this on an ipad with a keyboard that is operating via the Bluetooth connection. I hope this helps answer your question.

I wouldn't think so since it is wireless, there is no cable to connect the keyboard to the tablet. I have to enable the bluetooth setting for the tablet to search for the keyboard. Once it finds the keyboard it works otherwise it does not.

absolutely u can, it has Bluetooth 3.0 which ensure an excellent connection to a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. I highly recommend this item.

An IR keyboard would be a terrible idea because IR requires line-of-sight. If something is in the way or your keyboard isn't pointing at the NUC, you won't be able to type. A bluetooth keyboard or a standard wireless keyboard with a USB receiver dongle would be the best bet. I personally use this one and it's amazing. Very comfortable and great range.

As long as you have a USB port it should. It is essentially a USB keyboard device, without the keys.

It does not work because the mini usb port on your tablet is slave port and does not supply power need for keyboard. You will need a bluetooth keyboard if you want to use a keyboard with that tablet.

Possibly...but I had a hard time getting the bluetooth function to work consistently with my computer. I sent this keyboard back.

Yes, but not without an iPhone, iPad, or other device for it to control. This is a convenient lightweight keyboard that makes no sound on its own.

I've connected it to other devices, though this keyboard has iDevice specific function keys. Many work, some do not. As far as the basic keyboard, though, you should be good to go there.

No it sounds as though any bluetooth adapter can be used with the keyboard, BUT the bundled adapter will not let you sync (say) your phone via Bluetooth - it only works as a Bluetooth adapter for the keyboard.

I have heard other people say that it does work with Bluetooth keyboards. If at all possible, I'd suggest you try to plug your keyboard into another device to make sure it is working properly. May I ask what brand your keyboard is? The more info, the better to assist! :D

no - it isn't bluetooth if it is disconnected the input changes to onscreen keyboard

I have a wireless keyboard that is bluetooth and doesnt require Wifi to work...connects direct to Kindle

I love my keyboard. I don't think you have to have Bluetooth to use it. It connects to my Kindle Fire through WiFi I think. I have a WiFi router at home and it works great. I never turn on my Bluetooth to use it at all. You'll like this keyboard and the case it comes in. I do.

Any bluetooth keyboard can be paired with it. This is a 4 year old model with hardware design issues. Beware if you are buying one...
