Here are some thoughts and problems after a few days now - I have to say I'm not thrilled - and my impressions seem to worsen daily.


1) animation lag, specifically with pinnacle pro launched and changing apps - it's quite poor.. I've seen this on several fronts - like trying to multitask, etc. It's worse by far than it was on my air 2. Multitasking on this size screen is still meh. And apple ruined some of the quick access stuff - like in the OS 9 beta when y

Ou tapped (this is an example of a random carriage return happening on the keyboard) 2) Keyboard disconnects, ironically Itis happening right now, I typed dis and then the soft keyboard popped up. This happens ALL the time when I'm typing on my lap. It's a real issue in using what's already quite a poor keyboard - along with several other limitations..like No backlighting And specifically no caps lock light. Additionally I get weird returns - like typing this I get carriage returns without pressing return and so forth. I've read some others have this issue - generally faulty problem or update going to fix? I don't know if it's an issue with my finger but I keep getting the soft keyboard up (JUST RETURNED AGAIN FOR NO REASON) I would love to setup the iPad Pro as new and see if the problems persis but frankly, it's impossible because save data isn't all separated from app install data - meaning game saves and preferences for *just returned again for no reason * applications will be blown away without specific ways to recover them. Unfortunately this is where a jailbreak would be handy.

The keyboard - aside from the obvious design issues is almost unusable with these issues - - it's a real problem - and frankly I am wondering why the pro doesn't particularly feel any faster than the air 2. Given most of the world won't be resetting everything and losing data when changing iPads - it's just weird that would be the cause of it - in this restore chain there have never been jailbreaks or strange app data.

Overall I'm just stuck in this weird place with this device of being unsure if it's fundamental hardware software stuff

I'm not trying to start a how to fix it thread - recommendations are fine - I just wanted to give some impressions after a few days use - so far I'm incredibly disappointed - even the pencil seems laggy in most applications..

If I didn't correct this multiple times due to sporadic keyboard stuff it would have been hard to follow, like that first paragraph break
[doublepost=1460097185][/doublepost]I apologize - the keyboard actually returned me out of the post -

Anyway - I wanted to chime in with some issues and some impressions - I just did a reset all settings - the best I can do to try and work things out - we will see if that remedies the problems - already that's a lot of work to sort it out..
