GreenLaw Keyboard Case for iPad Mini 7 A17 Pro(2024) & Mini 6 (2021) 8.3", Touchpad Keyboard with 7 Color Backlit, Type-C Rechargeable, 360° Rotate Case for iPad Mini 7th/6th Generation, Black

Obviously a small keyboard due to the size of the iPad mini but overall a great product, well made, and seems durable. I just got back from a 2 week trip and it was great on the airplane and gave me all the functionality of a laptop but in mini size. Battery seems to last a long time. I really like that the screen rotates 360° so I can use it in any configuration I want. The open space on top allows for the pencil to have a home, even when stored in my backpack. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I don't usually write reviews, but this case is seriously great. I can't believe this thing is only $60. I feel like it's transformed my iPad experience into pretty much a computer, and as a result I almost never use my real computer anymore! For context, this is my first iPad and also my first keyboard case/folio/etc so keep in mind that perhaps I'm just excited about this concept in general, that I can do most computer tasks away from a computer now.SIZE. This keyboard is bulky. It will double the volume of your iPad. I personally don't mind but it's important to note if you like how thin your iPad is. I think I prefer having keys with actual travel to one of those really thin cases where the "keys" don't move at all.BATTERY AND CHARGING. I've finally used the battery one cycle after about two weeks of pretty extensive use, even when using this keyboard a ton and with the keyboard backlight on about half the time (which is really helpful at night). It's nice that the keyboard charges with USB-C, the same cable/port as the iPad. (I saw that one of the reviews was complaining that the charger wasn't included which makes no sense… because you can literally just use your iPad charger??)KEYBOARD SIZE. Note that the keyboard is smaller than a standard keyboard. (Because the iPad Mini is smaller than a regular keyboard, it's impossible to have a full sized keyboard case.) As with any non-full-sized keyboard, it will take a few hours of typing to fully adjust. But now that I've adjusted, I actually prefer the typing experience on this keyboard over that of both my phone and my computer (2020 MacBook Air). I really did not expect that.MISSING KEYS. In addition to the keys being smaller than full-sized, the keyboard is "missing" three physical keys, which have been moved to be accessible by pressing the fn key: ' " [ ] { }. Out of these, the only key I really miss is the single quote/apostrophe key, because it's nice to type "it's" without having to press the fn key. I found two ways around this: (1) if auto-correct is on as it is by default, typing the apostrophe is unnecessary most of the time, and (2) I went to Settings → Keyboard → Text Replacements and added replacements from "Illl" to "I'll", from "helll" to "he'll", from "itss" to "it's", etc. So now to type one of these words that has the apostrophe, I just type the last letter one extra time and it'll get replaced with the word I want.TILT ANGLES. The angles that you can tilt the iPad are pretty good. It's nice that I can have both the keyboard in front of the iPad (like a laptop) or behind the iPad (like a Facebook Portal) for when I'm browsing the web or making a video call. One thing to note is that in laptop mode, if you tilt the iPad past about 120 degrees, it will fall forward because the keyboard isn't heavy enough. My actual laptop doesn't let me tilt the display past 120 degrees at all so I don't mind.TRACKPAD. The trackpad is pretty usable. Moving the cursor is fantastic. Scrolling is too sensitive but might be something I could get used to. There isn't great palm rejection, so if you tend to type with your hands touching the keyboard, it might be an issue. However, you can turn off the trackpad entirely (fn + space), which is what I ended up doing because I find it so much easier to just directly touch and scroll on the iPad. I wasn't even expecting this thing to come with a trackpad, so the trackpad's just like a bonus feature for me.Also yes I wrote out this entire review on my iPad using this keyboard case. It was a joy to do so!

I very rarely do product reviews; however, I am so happy with this keyboard case that I feel compelled to write one. I have a first generation iPad Pro with the Apple Smart Keyboard. While I have appreciated some of the features and design of the Smart Keyboard, it’s drawbacks have driven me crazy for the few years I’ve had it. I finally decided to try something new, and hence the 360X Keyboard.Bottom line: the design and build are top notch. (Note: I have had this product for a few weeks, and use it a lot every day.) Here are the main points for me: 1) the keys are large enough and have a good feel and response; 2) the backlit key feature solves my main issue with the Apple Smart Keyboard - I don’t need direct light on the keyboard now like I did with the Smart Keyboard - I can use this one in a dark room, no problem! (I am 76 years old and have some eye issues.) 3) There is a caps lock indicator light! 4) There is a top row of function keys. 5) The 360 degree swivel feature is a brilliant design, and once you get used to it, the multiple positions make you wonder how you ever used anything else (the hinge mechanism seems to be very robust, and I hope it does not become a weak point over time).I have included a photo of the new Apple iPad Magic Keyboard on my iPad screen above the 360X keyboard so you can compare them. The obvious difference is the lack of the top row of keys on the Apple product. The Apple product does have backlit keys and a caps lock indicator - finally. However, at $299 for the Apple Magic Keyboard (and $159 for the Apple Smart Keyboard), the 360X quality and price seems too good to be true. Are Apple products way overpriced? Well, duh.How about the cons of the 360X? Here they are, in my opinion. 1) The 360X doubles the weight of your iPad. 2) The 360X connects to the iPad via Bluetooth, so there is an iPad battery drain (I have developed the habit of turning off the keyboard when I’m not using it, and I hope that means the bluetooth battery use is also off or minimized). And that’s it. Neither of these is a deal breaker for me.BTW, I ordered a similar 360-degree keyboard case for my wife’s iPad Mini from a different company. It had numerous design flaws, so we returned it.Thank you to the 360X designers, engineers and manufacturer - this is, so far, a terrific product and a really good buy. In my humble opinion.
