Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Mini: small keyboard for iPad [Experience] - SuperApple.cz

external keyboard for the iPad mini is a small market considerably less than its big sibling. Logitech is thereby trying to conquer this space really thin piece.

Logitech-Ultrathin-Keyboard-for-iPad-mini-image-001 Keyboard for iPad mini to cope with little space they can use. Osmipalcová diagonal this tablet does not provide enough space for the installation of a full keyboard, which vídáváme for large cases. Manufacturers must go the way of compromise.

general and vídáváme two ways to resolve: either there is a deletion of the entire column keys next to the enter (you could see the example in this test from Zagg keyboard) or the maintenance of all the columns for the price of their rearrangement. The latter route is being issued Logitech. But do not.


mounting magnets

Ultrathin Keyboard Mini Keyboard connects to the tablet via magnets as well as Case Smart Cover as well as it protects the iPad’s screen when closed. The back (bottom) of the housing with a metal keypad and closed forms with the iPad almost single compact unit. The opening can be easily separated ipad (cover not wrap around the back of the ipad) and attached only to the groove above the keyboard, which is again a magnet fixed in one position.

Tablet here really hold tight and do not have to worry that you dropped out or that the whole assembly turned over. None of this really safe.

slight disadvantage is only one angle that can not be changed. I came to test as too sharp for most applications (Workbench), I felt that we look at the display of unnatural height. On the contrary, the higher the bar, everything was fine. However, a colleague in the newsroom came as the optimum angle for all applications.

Although the iPad firmly attached, it is not expected that you would have used it to write on my knees like a laptop – using fixed pads will be necessary.

while the underside is metallic and succeeded to the upper area including key is made known as the “piano black”, a glossy black plastic evocative use of paint. The surface looks good in the store, in practical use, however, it is hardly possible to keep clean – fingerprints had kept more than happy. In addition we tested the black version, but you can buy the white version, which fingerprints are less visible.


When the wrong button

actual typing is not bad, the keys are still large enough for comfortable use and also provide a natural lift. It is also reasonably quiet, which are positive. Function keys are associated with the number keys and the call is to be used Shift key.

I just said that the keypad writes well, then this is the place for me to povysv?tlil. If you are among the group of users that nep?i?ichla to desetiprsté tactile method of writing and his lyrics are “type using” individual characters of a few fingers, then you’ll probably be satisfied.

However, if the programmer uses all fingers and you know the correct fingering on the keyboard, you’ll be writing in Czech texts bother to such an extent that he would rather go on-line keyboard, which was my case. How is this possible?

Simply

– Logitech in an effort to save space shifted character of the key one position to the left to a number with the numbers shifted compared to the standard one position. When writing English text that does not interfere in it a number occurs so little that this disadvantage almost no effect. However, in our country, where the numerical range of the crests of the Czech accents, this mounting problem. So you have to forget the position that you can and everything transpose one left: where are you waiting for “a”, there Logitech, the “Y”, etc. I also did not suit proximity keys and screen when I often when writing about him accidentally brushed against a caused some of the features.

It is a pity that Logitech for our region does not produce a special version of the keyboard that would respect our customs.

The battery lasts

keyboard is wireless, using Bluetooth to communicate. Charges via Micro-USB connector on the right side, where you can also switch to manual shutdown. We have extensively tested the keyboard two months and during that time did not need to recharge. Manufactured in the literature talks about last up to six months, which of course depends upon the frequency of use, and so on the fact that when you close the iPad keyboard manually turning off or not.

Ultrahing Logitech Mini Keyboard is a very good product, but not for everyone. If you are looking keyboard for fast typing with all ten, take a look elsewhere. Otherwise, however, you will be satisfied with it.
