I purchased the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 from Staples to go along with my IPad 32GB. The keyboard is compact and easy to type on (using now). It comes with a separate keypad which would be nice to use with the Numbers app, but there lies the problem. It seems that you can only pair one item to the IPad at a time. I like the keyboard set for it's compact size just for the same reason for the Ipad. Funny that a Microsoft keyboard complements the IPad better than the Apple keyboard.
I tried the keypad separately and it works great. I only tried it on the Pages app so I don't know if it will scroll done using the enter key but the enter key would not go down a line on Pages.
I would like to see if my Magic Mouse with this setup but already know the answer to that (plus the Apple crew told me it would not work).
Another interesting thing is once you pair this keyboard up the pop up one will not come up. Why would you want to if you are already typing on the bluetooth keyboard you may ask but I found out when picking it up to show something to another and then trying to type while it was in my hand nothing comes up. I would have to close this page-go to setting and unpair the keyboard.
shortcut keys like Ctrl C and Ctrl V do not work. The volume keys do.
Overall happy, maybe they'll make some improvements to allow shortcut key commands and more than one device. ( I wonder if bluetooth headset will work for Skype?)
