HOU Keyboard Case for 8.3-inch iPad mini 7th (A17 Pro, 2024) & 6th (2021) Generation, Ultra Slim Folio Type of Keyboard, Power Display, Magnetic Protective Cover, Black

This keyboard has a great, solid keyboard feel. I have average-sized male hands and while it feels a little tight when typing a long document, it is still comfortable. I love all the keyboard shortcuts included! There are a few keys that must do triple duty (shift, normal or control key combos) but I found a way around many of them: settings>genera>keyboard>text replacement let me eliminate most of the times I need to use apostrophes, for example, and I also came up with a question mark workaround that way. The hyphen and quotation marks still need to use the control key, but didn't take me long to learn to do that more or less automatically. This is literally the only thing I can criticize about the keyboard. I've had a lot of iPad keyboards over the years and this one is the best one I've used (besides the Magic Keyboard on a Pro). I also love the fact that this can be used in either landscape or portrait mode (!) The magnets when using the keyboard are adequately secure, and when in "carry" mode it is very secure, as there is more contact with the back cover. The screen angles one can get are very useful and practical. It doesn't move around on the table. As another reviewer wrote, charge it before setting it up (takes 1-2 hours). The weight is only 5 ounces more than a standard protective cover, and the bulk is the same. The tiny bit of extra weight is worth it IMHO, and is less than nearly all others and much less (and more convenient) than carrying a separate folding keyboard. The weight including the iPad Mini is only 1 pound 3 ounces (the iPad weighs a little over 10 oz by itself). This feels very much like an Apple product, and is definitely worth the $50.

Pro:Its the thinnest lightest keyboard available for ipad mini. All the others were bulky and heavy. This has great quality build and keys. You can take it off the case easily. Strong magnets hold ipad in place.Cons: I wish the closing would be better. Often the magnets won’t close the case all the way but its not terrible. I wish there was a version with track pad but there isnt room given the mini size. A track pad would also make the case too heavy. The angle of the kickstand could be better. Magic keyboard has a frontward facing angle but again this is minor.Overall: great price, good quality, and lightest keyboard with sleek look and great keys on the market. This is the best you can make it given ipad mini small size.

Pros: Great built quality. They made this keyboard case almost as thin as any magnetic case without a keyboard. The magnets to hold the ipad mini in place are actually stronger than two magnetic folios I tested. Build quality is also better than two other magnetic cases I tested.Con: Too small for me. My hands are on the small side already. Unfortunately I make more mistakes with it than the onscreen keyboard. If it hadn’t been the added weight of the keyboard, I would have kept it just as a case. It holds the ipad in mire securely than two other magnetic cases I tested.

I like it for business taking notes, or if I where to just on the go client meetings. I wouldn’t recommend using this for toss and rumble .. more of a dress case folio with a nice keyboard.The magnet is really good when closed and when you turn it backwards for reading mode. However the case is more of stand per day when in typing mode .. and I say this bc the magnetic part isn’t as sensitive then.I love it though I’m happy it’s snug when closed that’s all that matters,and it turns off the tablet when you close it. I wish apple made one of these ..

Visually this case is as slick as it comes and I was in love with it immediately. Unfortunately though it kept disconnecting from my ipad after a minute or two of use. And it kept triggering the on-screen keyboard to pop up on my ipad as well.Just to be sure, I connected my bluetooth apple keyboard to my ipad and sure enough it didn't trigger the on-screen keyboard or disconnect or have the same issues. So I know that it was specifically this keyboard case.It's also very small. Like...really small. I'm 5 foot 4, so my hands aren't exactly massive, and this keyboard was way too small for me to get used to.I can no longer use it because the keyboard wont stay connected, and the on-screen keyboard popping up is super annoying. I even charged it with the provided cable and it made no difference in performance, making it unusable.

Overall, the keyboard seems fairly well-made. My iPad did come loose more than I would prefer, ultimately causing me to return the keyboard. It is very slim and appears like a normal apple case in regard to the actual additional size of the case. The key size is small so if you are a touch typist, it may take a moment to get used to it, but for their size the keys do have a nice travel. The case does what it was intended to do, it is both a keyboard that connects by a Bluetooth and acts is a case for the iPad. The stand is actually the back portion of the case, which is why it does seem to come out of the case fairly easily. If you only have half the case back touching the iPad to hold on, well there you go. The actual bending of the back over to make the stand caused there to be a small amount of wiggle when flat on the case back which I did not care for. Power is supplied by a proprietary cable, which does mean that you will always be carrying that cable with you in addition to others. Ultimately, I decided to go back and just use an old apple wireless keyboard that I will carry in my bag and one of the Pitaka origami cases. As others have said the HOU keyboard is probably the closest thing to a magical keyboard for the a17 iPad mini, but there are compromises that exist due to the devices size.

Great little keyboard. Bluetooth connection is strong. The charging cable is magnetic. Adjustable angle for view. I like being able to switch between keyboard and emojis. Some of the commands/shift keys are different from a traditional qwerty keyboard. Bluetooth Charges last a long time. Also no real protection if dropped. Be careful, if the product is fully opened (flipped all the way over) the keyboard will not work - see last photo. I mistakenly returned it the first time bc I thought it was broken. Just user error.

I bought this keyboard folio because it was recommended by a YouTube influencer. When I saw that Amazon had labeled it as a highly returned item, I was hesitant, but ordered it anyway.It’s made fairly well and it fits the iPad mini well, but there are some drawbacks to this keyboard that will make a lot of people return it. I have smallish hands and the keyboard is very cramped. Now, I’ll say that this is for the iPad mini, so you are not going to get a full size keyboard in such a small footprint, but they made some choices that made the keyboard even less usable.The space bar is very small and that is the biggest downside to me. They could have sacrificed the command and option key on the right to allow for a bigger space bar or made the up arrow key set on the right smaller.Another big downside for me is the charging cord is proprietary so if you lose it, you will not be able to charge the keyboard. Not only that, but you cannot close the keyboard and charge it. The contacts are on the upper right of the keyboard and the charging end has to make magnetic contact there and it’s too bulky to close the keyboard so you need to lay it open to charge.The keyboard has nice scissor type keys so the feel of the keyboard is good, but you’ll have to do some finger gymnastics when typing to get the results you want. I kept hitting the command key instead of the space bar.Overall it’s nicely made folio and it will do in a pinch, but you are probably better off getting a foldable portable keyboard that give you more space for the keys, like the iClever foldable keyboard.The tiny space bar and some other keyboard choices in addition to the proprietary charging cable make it so I can’t recommend this keyboard to anyone. Your mileage may vary.

サラッとした手触りの防水ケース、充電端子は開けたところの上部にあります、専用の磁気吸着充電端子が備わっており端子も付属していますがこれを紛失しますと充電できなくなりますので注意してください。磁力は平面についてるけど大丈夫か？とおもいましたがけっこう磁力が強いので普通に扱う限りは外れないかとおもいます。充電に関してはバッテリーの劣化を防ぐために最低でも2月に1回は充電してくださいとの記載あり、5v240mAで給電します。電池容量は150mAh、主要部品はPU＋ABS(キーボード部位)で構成されています、一応防水性はケース部分にはありますがキーボードは隙間がありますので完全防水ではありません。Bluetoothは5.2、技適番号は214-124288です。打鍵感はけっこうしっかりしておりABS樹脂でサラッとしているので滑りもいいです、軽やかに文章が打てます。印字は表面実装のようなので少し摩耗には弱そうですが全体的に見ると軽くていいミニキーボードだとおもいます。

Keyboard was quick and as described

Rien à dire. Le clavier est super.

Es todo lo que promete, buen tamaño, buena adherencia, ligero.

Received a different model. But works very well. The keyboard has mousepad and key size is just perfect. I can work on ppts and excels comfortably. The keyboard is easy to detach. Must have for ipad mini. There is a slot for pencil to charge.
