I can't write with any authority about the standard iPad and accompanying keyboards as I have an iPad mini.

However, when I bought the mini (as a refurb around two months ago), I also bought a Logitech Ultrathin keyboard to accompany it, on the recommendation of a colleague, as I wanted a proper keyboard, and don't wish to use a touchscreen when writing anything. The Logitech is well made, (of metal), folds nicely, looks good, and is very solid and completely compatible with the iPad mini.

Thanks. I will keep this in mind but I am looking for something a bot wider and not so cramped. Thanks.

Hi All,

I am on the search for a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad. I already have a case I like so I am not looking for one in a folio. Also, I would like one that is wider than the iPad. Preferably the size of the bluetooth Apple Keyboards or bigger. Here is what I am looking at:

Are the keys spaces reasonably well? Meaning, are they more spread out than one would find on an iPad clamshell?

Thanks,

Why not just buy a standard bt keyboard since the fact you will use it with an iPad is irrelevant?
 
At the risk of stating the obvious, how about the apple wireless keyboard?

Ha. I know right?. I was about to pull the plug but then I noticed that some had solar power and I was drawn to those for the benefits.

I was about to mention the Apple keyboard, but I see your point on the solar power, that is incredibly handy.
Afraid to say but for the sake of ergonomics and functionality, I recommend the Apple Bluetooth keyboard + Origami.
I myself am using the Zagg Profolio+ while on the go but switch between screen keyboard and Apple wireless keyboard while at my desk.
 
i have and use the Apple wireless keyboard. I like it because I can also use on my IPhone if I am stuck having to type a long email in the IPhone.....

If having a larger keyboard is a requirement, the Apple BT keyboard+Origami is the thing. When I have the luxury of toting my iPad in my backpack, I use that combo. When it is the iPad alone, I use the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover.

Neat feature, but the batteries in my wireless keyboards seem to last forever anyway! Not that I have much sunlight near my desk anyway... :/
