I'm conflicted on this one. I love apple products and wanted a smart connector keyboard for my iPad Pro. This might be the best keyboard/cover out there now because it is lightweight, durable, and spill-proof. But as a keyboard it leaves something to be desired. The keys felt a little cramped, and the travel was tiny. Because the keyboard is short (no palm wrest either) it felt like it sits too close to the iPad screen as you type. This might be the most convenient if you wants an easy to carry keyboard and cover, but if you do a lot of typing I'd suggest looking at other options.

I have been looking for a universal bluetooth keyboard that would work with my Mac mini and also Android and iPad tablets and the iClever is something that works seamlessly across platforms. I have had no issues with this on the Mac (for which I use a custom key mapping for a Windows keyboard), works as expected on the tablets as well.

While the KB itself is compact, I don't have issues even with larger fingers.

I also use this at work with my MBP which I connect to two other monitors and then use the keyboard with the laptop sitting on the side. Overall a great buy if you want a keyboard that works across multiple devices.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the smart keyboard.
It is smart, and looks very cool----black, compact keyboard.
I linked my K810 Logitech keyboard to my apple pro laptop, my dell 2-1 laptop, and my iPhone 6 and they all work well even than I had expected!  easily to link and switch, amazing!
Very cool looking--black, illuminated when the light becomes dark, I can grasp and tape it on my knee, my desk.
The function is smooth as expected--of course Logitech keyboard is great!
The only shortcoming I believe is the feeling of plastics -- it would be great if the feeling of metal! but I know the price is worthy of it.
I bought it in Amazon on Sunday and hope to get it on Monday as it indicated for prime, however, my things was delayed for the later delivery of the keyboard.

I would give this product a solid 3 out of 5 stars. Based on the price, it is a satisfactory product but the keys are not sensitive enough to process some finger notions. I find myself putting extra pressure on my fingers when I type and there was an unidentifiable issue with the space key that resulted in having to shut down my iMac to solve the issue. My overall thought is to use the keyboard until I save enough money to purchase a wired Apple keyboard.

Overall I liked so much about this keyboard case.  The keys were comfortable and the dual magnet setting was really handy.  The keyboard worked like a charm until the first time I used my iPad on a different WiFi network.  The keyboard wouldnt pair despite a ton of attempts and trouble shooting.  I could eventually make it pair after 10 or 15 minutes of trying, but with no rhyme or reason itd unpair and Id be stuck again.

I contacted the company and their answer was 1) update iOS and 2) if that didn't fix it I could have a full refund.  The jump straight to a refund leads me to believe this is an ongoing issue and they knew I wouldnt be able to fix it and a replacement keyboard would do the same thing.

Too bad, really.  Im using the Anker A7722 now and its ok... but I much preferred the Inatek.

I truly love this keyboard I do!! Here are my honest opinions on this. I'm not giving it a 5-star review...yet. I haven't had it long enough to say that for sure. As for now, I'm loving it! I actually went to big name electronic store and bought the Apple keyboard for my iPad Pro. Spent $150 on it. I hated it from the word go. For one, in order to use the keyboard I had previously purchased, I had to remove my iPad from its Otterbox, and then place the iPad in this case that was held up with a triangle shape in order to connect the iPad with with its three contact points and that drove me bonkers. That right there was the first  moment. I'm a college student who is using the iPad for my notes in classes, and fumbling around getting things set up to take notes with books and iPad and all that in short amounts of time proved to be a hazardous thing when I attempted to use it in class once. I nearly dropped my brand iPad and had I did, the concrete floor beneath the tiles would not have been nice to my iPad. Second major thing...the Apple keyboard in comparison feels like it's going to break. It feel extremely flimsy and fragile for something that cost me $150 and was an Apple product. I love Apple products. My whole family has iPhones because their iOS systems are much safer with the virus, spyware, and "bug" typical androids and even PCs get. I bought this keyboard because I needed something quick and something that was Bluetooth capable. This keyboard being Bluetooth compatible is a HUGE plus. Having the Otterbox for the iPad and it's hard shell casing, the casing actually is a stand. I think the only thing I would like to see as an improvement (so far) is maybe a possible way to have rechargeable batteries or battery pack for it (similar to a cordless home phone thing) in it l, or even a way to recharge it via a port of sorts (longer lasting than basic AAA batteries) to charge it say with a battery back (like cordless phones?)  I enjoy the sleep mode for the most part, except when it's in my bag and I forget to actually turn it off...it runs the battery down quickly.

My biggest happy face in this purchase is the actual "feel" of the keyboard, especially in comparison to the apple one I bought. This keyboard has the feel of a real keyboard like attaches to a computer. I type faster than I write for notes while in class (50-60 wpm on average). This keyboard keeps up well with response to my typing speeds and needs. I'm quite impressed so far, and look forward to continuing to use this at a fraction of what I originally spent.

I purchased two other keyboards (of lesser cost) before I purchased this one.  I should have purchased this one first.  I wanted a wireless apple keyboard with the keypad and purchased the other off brands because they offered a wireless option with the keypad.  Apple doesn't seem to offer a wireless option with the keypad which is unfortunate.  Apparently no one at apple works with numbers.  Not wanted to purchase a second "item" to have a keypad.  I opted for the wired version.  The usb isn't too terribly inconvenient and it works great, the key buttons feel just like my laptop's key pad.

I did not purchase this product from Amazon. I purchased from a firm in Feb 2011. Have used with MacBook Pro and Mac Mini in conjunction with the recent model Apple wireless keyboard (2-battery model) and and earlier version (older 3-battery model). It will lost contact from time to time, but so does my keyboard. (Both in a tray drawer under my desk top.)

Starting my fourth year of use, the small indicator light came on and stayed on. It then lost connection and could not be recognized. I have worked my way through Mac OS all the way to beta 3 of 10.10.3 (developer). I located the manufacturer web site, contacted the person listed via their Swiss address, received updated instructions, in minutes!, and I was back in business.

I think there is a problem not clearly explained and that has to do with the activator button on the side. Unlike many BlueTooth devices, you do NOT hold the button in hoping that pairing will happen. Pairing is set through the small recessed button the back.

When I inquired about this and other products by this firm, I was advised Amazon was the best place to purchase. The price is one dollar more than I paid in 2011. I find it to be very useful and particularly like the 4 extra F keys (products from other firms don't join quite the same way, have only 3 F keys) and I use the F17 key to run a shut-down of the Mac.

I pointed out two problems with the Swiss website. Generally, sources don't care. Overnight, the site has been pulled and is undergoing modification. I have been a Mac user for business and personal use since May, 1984. I like this product.

It does not reliably link to my IPad.  I have to do a soft re-boot of the IPad most times to get it to link.  I don't know if it is the fault of the keypad or the IPad.

The keyboard itself is very good.  I can almost touch type as fast on that as I can on my office keyboard.

This is great product, the keyboard and design is great. However, the reason I am only giving it 3 stars is that I bought for my new Ipad (Ipad 3) and it suppose to shut off when you close the case but it DOES NOT!

The real Zaggfolio for the ipad3 has the right magnets and suppose to shut off the ipad when closing the case. I emailed Zagg, they are going to give me a replacement however it is completely sold out and there is no telling when I will get the correct one.

If you have an ipad 2 then this is a great product, you will really like the keyboard and the design. If you have an Ipad 3 and you don't care that it doesn't shut off then this is your deal too. But why buy something that is not made for it.

So for Ipad 2 I give it 4 stars only because it is a little bulky and if you don't want to use the keyboard, you can fold it back but it is a little awkward grabbing the keyboard when you fold it back like the smart cover. It is easy to get the ipad in and out of the cover.

3 stars for Ipad 3 simply because the advertised automatic shut off doesn't work, and if you close it it can drain your battery if you don't pay attention.

I absolutely love this keyboard. It is very sleek and light weight. It feels like a Mac keyboard and looks like a mini computer. In fact, I stopped lugging my Macbook around and now only use my iPad and Zagg keyboard in meetings.

Just got my keyboard in about an hour ago and got it connected to my iPad Pro 9.7, and I absolutely love it. I'm even writing this review using the keyboard. My only issue is that I thought the keyboard was able to light up and change colors, but mine does not even light up, let alone change color. It must have been a different model, unless there's some key combination I'm unaware of. Nevertheless, it works great and the iPad feels very secure inside. Really makes it look like a MacBook

Oh no! Apple's new aluminum keyboards are competing with my favorite Macally keyboard! Well, this keyboard still matches your white i-product better than Apple's model at least. Plusses: shiny and cute, skinny, low-travel keys, clicky response, comfortable, very similar feel to built-in MacBook and iBook keyboards only less flimsy. Minuses: after a few years, my keys are starting to yellow at different rates (which is a little weird), needs its own drivers to enable volume and eject keys, unlike Apple's keyboards, can't remap said keys to work under Windows Boot Camp.

Still my favorite keyboard, though the new Apple model is a close second.

Amy I happy with my purchase? Overall, yes. The convenience of having a wireless mouse and keyboard allows me to be comfortable when I need to utilize technology. Apple is usually reliable, even if they aren't always spot on. They seem to overlook a lot of things that people who maybe live more simply than others are actually consumer needs, but because they are an upscale product they can't offer too much simplicity. Maybe it's me and I'm just dumb, but I've used Microsoft Windows for 20 years and my workflow even though upgraded in speed, was lacking the processing power (and the trend) of the Mac. But the important thing is Microsoft's products are really different than Apple's. This keyboard came securely packaged, but surpringsly in a bad way. I assumed batteries did not come with the keyboard, because every other battery operated item in the world never includes batteries. So I unscrew the battery bay to install 2 new Double A's (also purchased on Amazon) and the screw lid falls to the ground. My room floor is tile and so I received with my brand new keyboard a slightly scratched screw lid. The keys are somewhat difficult to get used to, but of course I use a Moji keyboard cover for my Macbook Pro's keyboard, so maybe thats why it feels different. Keys seem just a tad bit smaller on the wireless keyboard. Oh and did not just turn on and ready to go- had to go through a 2 second setup process that I did not expect :/ Also a future version of this DEF needs to have the backlight that is on my Mac's keyboard. Thats a huge reason to buy a mac if it really does give you a different and evening- friendly experience. What can I say? technology isn't 100% quite yet, but Apple does an over all decent job of getting us there.

I purchased this to use with my desktop IMac. It took several tries to pair the bluetooth and there is no key on the keyboard for "mac," only one for ios and Windows. Once it was connected it worked well except it would periodically become disconnected and then reconnect on its own.

I love the feel of the keyboard and except for the connection problems which may reflect the fact that I'm using an older IMac (with El Capitan OS) I would give it 5 stars.

I like the physical design of the product in general. The aluminum body and the color makes it look premium. It also compliments the look of my macbook pro well. It tends to tip over to the side for the first few hours due to the taller rectangular block design, but after a day or two it stands up perfectly.
The only BIG problem I have is whenever I plug in my keyboard's bluetooth receiver, it keeps losing connection. My keyboard's response became really slow and laggy to the point where it's impossible to use.
ANKER, please fix this issue. I see other people in the product review having the same problem.

I purchase computer products based on lots of research, good support and the functionality I want/need. I ahve extensive experience in Windows, unix and Cisco products and mild experience with Apple

My first look at a MAC was in 1996 when I was a tech support person for a major ISP at the time (NOT AOL). We were the only ones that supported MAC up to OS9 which was current when I left. Once I left that job I had totally forgotten about MAC and buried myself into Windows, unix and Cisco products.

Once the iphone was released I headed to my closest Apple store, which was 112 miles away at that time to get a look at it. Now I have a store 18 miles away. While in there I took at look at the iMAC. I ended up walking out of the store with both.

It took me a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of the MAC OS and almost immediately I found it to be much more intuitive than OS9 and Windows. I still own that iMAC and still use it daily. I do have a copy of Windows XP Pro still around for one thing and that is to run a simulator that is not made for the MAC. I do everything else on the iMAC and this laptop.

OK, fast forward to today. I now own this laptop that we are all reading about here. I have found that so far the only thing I needed to do was install a MAC version of MS Office even though I could just as easily run iWork since it is completely compatible with Office and easily half the cost. I found that some of the keyboard shortcuts did not exist that I had grown accustomed to but also discovered that with a little searching, I found how to setup keyboard shortcuts for just about everything I do on a daily basis. Some were built into the software and others I learned to use the Automator. remember, that when you add third party software to an Aplle, what happens to that software is not a concern of Apple. Try telling Microsoft that you bought some software not built by them and that they are are at fault for some functionality that no longer exists.

I do a lot of traveling for a competitve sport I am part of and it takes me into areas that I have no wifi connectivity at all and I spend loads of time in hotels as well. For the remote location access I have a 3G USB device that the Apple just configured on it's own, no drivers needed. I gave it the phone number and my password and with one minute I was connected. I placed this same device into my Dell XPS laptop and it took me an hour to get it working because of driver issues. As far as Hotels go, this laptop just finds and connects to the best network it can, the Windows wifi has me go through many steps before I even get to the login prompt to join the wifi

I will say this, if you are on the fence about this laptop, go to an Apple store and grab one of the sales people, talk to the Genius', look at the free training sessions (you do not need to own an Apple product to take part in these)offered in every Apple store. You can play with this laptop or any other Apple device to your hearts desire. They are setup that you cannot hurt them and if you somehow manage to, then a simple reboot is all that is needed to restore them.

I will continue to use this laptop more than anyting else I own, except for the iMAC. I plan to give away the Dell laptop to a friend of mine that cannot afford a computer of her own.
