What keyboard do you recommend for iPad?

Hi Karel. VoiceOver gestures are not supported on the trackpad of the magic keyboard, or any keyboard for that matter. The keyboard itself is very nice, and some people also like the Logitech ones. For me though, the software limitations are quite disappointing.

In my opinion, an Apple keyboard offers the most functionality. Multi-tasking system shortcuts are not compatible with other keyboards. My advice is: consider to what extent you'll be using your keyboard (other than text input) and then make a decision from there.

I just got a new iPad, clenched my teeth, and bought the accompanying magic keyboard case. I know that trackpad support is on the roadmap.

Use it and like it. It is not 100% accessible due to apple using a keyboard. It is good considering.

Honestly, for a VO user, it mostly comes down to pick a keyboard you like and use it. If you're using a non-Apple keyboard, you'll probably want to assign the globe key to capslock, since most of the system keyboard shortcuts use that these days, but otherwise it doesn't really matter much.

If you do a lot of note taking or meetings where you use the keyboard a lot, you might want a keyboard case, but I myself don't use one since I find it makes the iPad more flexible without one.

I started with the Brydge pro which is very inexpensive quite a nice keyboard and clips to the iPad in such a clean way it makes a very sexy little laptop device. Basically the design is if you imagine 2 iPads almost exactly the same size, hinged in the middle the top one is the iPad and the bottom is the keyboard. It’s such a nice package however where it clips to the iPad it actually pushes the screen in by half a mili meter which damages the screen. It doesn’t harm any features but it does mechanically push the screen in so I’d definitely not recommend it anymore no matter how cute and lightweight the package is. I was so happy with it when I first got it. Delighted in fact but it damaged my iPad which I was obviously not happy about. Nobody else can feel the difference but I can still feel indents on the corners where it clipped in. I then bought the stupidly expensive buggy Magic Keyboard and I’m now delighted with that. It’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned and it’s not even a laptop. You might want to check the Magic Keyboard out before you make a decision. The bugs are annoying but honestly its worth dealing with them for such a nice typing experience and the ability to remove the iPad so easily. I won’t describe the Magic Keyboard because its been done already but I’d strongly recommend it even with its downsides.
