Regarding reliability -- I got this keyboard about 4 months ago, and it worked well with light usage, but has unfortunately failed recently (it no longer types the correct characters - on amazon reviews there are other users sighting the same issue).
I recieved mine about 1 and a half months ago and at first it worked well until one day, when i disconnected it from my ipad it stopped showing up in the new devices, at least a week has passed since then and it has not worked since. The bluetooth led flashes but it doesn’t show up. If anyone has any idea on how to fix it please tell me
could you please do an updated review after 7 months of using it? such as going in depth on the keyboard, charging & magnetic durability & the bluetooth/keyboard functions. strongly considering this but would like to know if it’s worth the investment. thank you!
With the Hou keyboard, I was not sponsored, I was looking at purchasing it myself. I have another keyboard that I just reviewed (keep in mind it that was a sponsored video), ruclips.net/video/xZyMI-iPaWc/видео.html I was going to do a comparison on the 2 eventually, but if you were to ask me honestly, they are the same, but the eiP keyboard does depress a bit better but I think it only comes in black, so if I were to pick between the 2, I would get the eiP but honestly they are almost the same, except I would have preferred a white eiP
Got this keyboard, the black version. It is realy good. Theres 3 things i dont like about it: -Finger prints (maybe becouse is the black version) -The need to click on the trackpad... no double tap -Is heavy Other than that im realy like it. Never in my life i ould pay the price of the original one but this one is a must.
Actually you can check an option to use the tap to click instead of pressing the button on the trackpad. When the keyboard is connected go to settings, general, trackpad, tap to click
@@bousterhyeah just figured out its not possible the keyboard can't detect a tap but can detect complicated gestures. An lo and behold its apple doing apple bullshit again
I just got one and it does come with the usb cable. When you open the packaging, it is in the plastic long tube thing that has a circle in the middle of it. The only thing it doesn’t have is the things is that it doesn’t have a wall charger to charge it. I hope this helps 😊
Thank you for your review. I think that I am going to buy this cover but it will be great to have your thoughts after 6 month. So is it still great any problems ?
Don’t buy yet I have a new video coming out this week for a new product that was just sent to me. I like both but the keys on the new one depress a bit better. It’s a very minor difference but if you can wait another week to see the new video and then make a decision!
ruclips.net/video/xZyMI-iPaWc/видео.html here's the new video! The other product is the eiP Hinged keyboard case... if I were to compare both, the eiP keyboard feels a bit better and the response time when turning on, a millisecond faster, but overall, they are both great choices.
The trackpad is ok but I usually find it just faster to use my finger in the iPad. See my other review on the eip hinged keyboard. That one is slightly less laggier.
Hi there, I've got this keyboard and there's 1 thing annoying me, and it is that the backlight of the keyboard turns off automatically super quickly, like in 5 seconds of no use, is there's any way I can keep the backlight on all time? Even if it affects the battery life?
You would have to consult the user manual. I don’t normally use the backlight… or post a question on Amazon? I unfortunately misplaced the user manual 😂
Hi can i get some help with the case? I just bought it, it’s wonderful i really love it! But there’s one issue, whenever i use the arrows on my Home Screen Theres this box around it, and when i want it to disappear it’ll just stay there, do you know why this is the case and does it happen with you too?
I'm looking for someone like this but compatible with Ipad Pro 12.9 1st gen. As it is bluetooth connection, it should work well with 1st gen... Does anyone here have tested yet for 1st gen?
It hasn’t disconnected on me yet. It’s pretty good, I’ve taken it now with me on 2 trips I would say 9/10 due to the track pad being slightly laggy, my finger is faster lol
I just ordered this off amazon on their prime day $127 Just watched your review I hope I picked a good one.. it almost looks identical eh? I got the white one I had my eyes on the rose gold.. but apple dont make a rose gold so I wanted to pretend its an apple 😆. Thanks for Review
@@drawwithmarina There is quite literally nothing wrong with ebay. I got mine on there for 70 and it’s in almost new condition and is an official Apple Magic Keyboard.

awesome! i have the white version so i don't see any fingerprints and yes it is heavy but the pros outweigh the cons.

Hey can you help me please , it wont connect to my Bluetooth anymore can you please tell me what keys should I click for it to show in my bluetooth.

But thank you for the review, it helped me find a cheaper keyboard!
It hasn’t disappointed yet. I proactively charge it maybe once a week if that. It’s never once died on me!

I knew you were Canadian once I saw the $449 price tag appear on the screen!
😂
Hey ! Can you attach the ipad to the keyboard in portrait mode ? And also do you need to pair it verytime you close and re open the ipad ?
Unfortunately no it can’t go in portrait. And no u don’t need to pair it each time.
@@drawwithmarina thanks for the answers !
How’s the track pad? I usually find the trackpads and mice don’t work well on iPad unless it’s an Apple brand of course.
The trackpad is ok but I usually find it just faster to use my finger in the iPad. See my other review on the eip hinged keyboard. That one is slightly less laggier.
On Amazon it says the backlight is rainbow can you change it?
?? im curious as well

Its ur mouse cursor and it will stay there for sometime unless u detach your ipad from the case.

Thank you thank you!! I’m a dude and I was looking for a search and destroy key board!! Found it thanks to your excellent review!! New sub here!!
Glad to assist!
Hello how do you charge this ?
It comes with a usb c charger. In the video I said it doesn’t but it does I didn’t see it in the box till months later 😂
How is the trackpad? Does it respond decently?
Yes! It does! There isn’t really a lag. Again not 💯 like a MacBook but it’s still impressive.
@@drawwithmarinaany issue? How long have you?
@@psicolor6086 no issue. I've had it for over week now.. ! it works pretty great. Got it off amazon, have 30 days to return.
@@drawwithmarina how about now? Is it still holding strong
@@royalpixie6930 still going! I have been proactively charging it maybe 1 every 2 weeks it has never run out of juice for me yet.
I've heard it disconnects frequently, is that true? What's your overall rating on the keyboard case, because I just bought one lol.
It hasn’t disconnected on me yet. It’s pretty good, I’ve taken it now with me on 2 trips I would say 9/10 due to the track pad being slightly laggy, my finger is faster lol
Good review bought one
Good choice! Enjoy!
Garbage because its uses Bluetooth. If you are serious about using your iPad as laptop replacement the MKB is a must.
I just bought this and I don't even know why. 😂
Same. What color did you Pick 😂
@@Perry-hj8bfsame picked black
hope ur enjoying it!
I'm currently looking to buy it... I don't know why 😂😂😂
I call it shopping therapy. That’s why.😁
how do u put @?
Shift 2
Wow now it’s only $59 it’s so worth it!
I’m on day 5 browsing and comparing
did u end up buying it?
I just ordered this off amazon on their prime day $127 Just watched your review I hope I picked a good one.. it almost looks identical eh? I got the white one I had my eyes on the rose gold.. but apple dont make a rose gold so I wanted to pretend its an apple 😆. Thanks for Review
Oh nice! I was doing rose gold with everything in my life at one point and then just got tired of it. 😂 let me know how you like this dupe!
@@drawwithmarina Will do thank you!
For the price of $139, you can get an actual apple Magic Keyboard used on eBay…
Yeah… but eBay…
@@drawwithmarina There is quite literally nothing wrong with ebay. I got mine on there for 70 and it’s in almost new condition and is an official Apple Magic Keyboard.
