Arteck iPad 11th 10th Generation Keyboard Case, Folio Cover, Multi-Touch Trackpad, Detachable Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Gen

I bought this because I’m starting university in a week and didn’t want to buy a laptop until i was sure I needed it for sure, maybe next semester. I also didn’t want to buy the apple keyboard because it would cost me similar so a laptop. I finally decided on this keyboard because i liked the fact that it was Bluetooth and honestly loved that it made an iPad look like a laptop. Having it now with me i can say that i rate it 5 stars and have had no problems so far. Some features i love include- The detachable case. I was annoyed that i would have to stitch between this case and my iPad case. I love that i can detach the top and just use it as another sturdy iPad case so i don’t have to go between the two cases when in class- The trackpad. I just like that this one has one. Many of the other Bluetooth keyboards didn’t have one and were the same price. To activate it press fn and space bar. If you have trouble connecting it the first time like i did just turn the keyboard off and on again and that worked for me. In case you’re wondering the trackpad does work on the home screen of the iPad and works just like a laptop.- Easy connection. You don’t have to connect it every time you turn it on. After connecting it the first time it automatically connects every time you turn it on.- The sturdiness. Looks like metal even though it’s plastic but is sturdy.- Comes with charger but uses the same plug that an iPad uses which is usb c.Any questions i had were answered by the manual as well so i have no problems here. This makes my iPad feel like a laptop and is great for the price. The battery life is great as well. It came charged and i have been using it for two days. Overall if you’re thinking about getting this you totally should. I saw some other reviews saying that the case doesn’t shut all the way and i can tell you i don’t have that problem. The case shuts all the way just like any laptop so it should be great for carrying around in your bag. 5 stars all around

I had a keyboard for my previous iPad and it was so-so. This keyboard is so much better. I’m typing this review on it and I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now. Here are the things I love about it:1. I love the battery life AND the ability to see roughly how much battery life remains. Like I said, I’ve had it for 3 weeks and it still shows mostly full charged. By pressing the Function key (fn) and the right command button, it will flash once for each 25% of life. So 4 flashes means I’m practically fully. Super handy. I haven’t manually turned it off since receiving the keyboard—it shuts off automatically after a period of inactivity and pressing any key quickly reactivates it.2. I love the track pad. It works really well. But I also love that I can turn it off so I don’t accidentally activate it when typing a lot.3. I love the various function keys (volume, Spotlight search, and the Home button).4. I love the weight and feel of it. It makes my iPad like a laptop. While the keys are slightly more closely spaced, it was easy to get used to—and I type A LOT! And it easily balances on my lap. This was a big requirement for me. I like to work sitting in a chair, so I didn’t want to have to sit at a table or awkwardly balance it on my knees.5. BEST FOR LAST: The fact that you pull the iPad away from the keyboard to use it without the keyboard and that it’s a magnetic attachment feels very premium. I bought a separate “case only” to use when I didn’t need the keyboard, but I don’t think I’ll even use it. It’s so nice to be able to just easily remove or attach the iPad.Three small things some may consider drawbacks—I knew these before I bought and they don’t bother me at all.1. It doesn’t have backlit keys.2. There’s no loop or anything for an Apple Pencil/stylus.3. It only opens and closes to maybe 60° and it doesn’t spin.Price was excellent, fast delivery and it’s just overall my favorite iPad accessory.I did not receive any compensation or “freebies” for writing this review. I just love the keyboard that much!

I ordered this one because I had such a good experience with my previous Arteck iPad case. (That iPad grew so old I replaced it.) I use the keyboard heavily, 30+ minutes a day, so function is important.Pros of this case:- Same good quality so far. Same dumb Arteck name (I understand, Chinese companies have to come up with something)- Good keystroke feeling; actually, I don’t even notice the keys; that’s good.- Sleeps on close, wakes and connects on open- Love the detachable screen, using ForScore while playing piano- I need a space on which to rest the heels of my hands while typing ‘cause I usually do so on my lap. I’m not sure how keyboard users get by without this—doesn’t it bounce around too much to use? This one has it, so I ordered it.- I dropped it within an hour of connecting it to my iPad for the first time. Protected everything beautifully.Cons:- No forward delete! Come on folks, what’s hard about that? That’s part of what I loved about my previous case. The lack of a forward delete is like a car with no 2nd gear: you can get by, but there’s no good reason to skip it.- Trackpad is meh. If it were quicker I’d use it, but it’s like a slug in January. I turned it off.- Important functions such as volume, brightness, etc. are now controlled with a function key, which slows me down and is quite unnecessary. They could have just used a second row of keys as on the previous keyboard.Cons #1 & 3 almost made me return it, but better the devil you have than the one you don’t. And the quality/solid construction are worth a lot.
