Typing this on my iPad 8th Gen using this keyboard and a cheap lightning to USB adapter from Amazon. I was going to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and but then remembered that I had this keyboard sitting around doing nothing so wanted to see if it would work. It’s a nice keyboard because it doesn’t take up too much room and while I’m not a big fan of trackpads it saves having to keep a separate mouse. For anyone trying this out make sure that you turn on Assistive Touch under Accessibility>Touch in Settings. You might also have to disconnect and reconnect the adapter (turn it off and on again) to get it to recognise the changes.
Good to know about these shortcuts. I thought the functionality would be quite limited so that was interesting to learn.
This is not only a great video about the keyboard but one of the best I've seen about what it's like navigating the ipad with a keyboard.
This seems like the perfect companion to iPad OS, although I'm still torn between buying this or a trackball mouse. I don't like trackpads very much, but I do love the convenience of having a keyboard-mouse combo in one unit. Decisions, decisions.....
I would very much want to know if the trackpad will do what the ipad os upgrade has
Yes indeed it does.
@@JosephSukhbir have you tried it mate ? Thanks bte
Btw
Rasec Silecar it’s working except 3 finger gesture and app switch function.
Hi, thanks for the video! Is it possible to click and drag files? Thank you!
How does it work with the new iPadOS 13.4 update?
Just a update. I bought the keyboard, as well as the dongle with usb and lightning to provide power. iPad updated with 13.4. Switched every thing on and connected it up. The iPad recognised that a hardware keyboard is connected but would not type. I rebooted the iPad and everything works perfectly. Even the three finger swipe left and right works. PS. Also had to remap some of the keys.
Joseph Sukhbir So it works and functions just like the Magic Trackpad 2 right? Does it support all the gestures?
Can you show me how to connect the same key board to iOS iPad 7. ?
It’s the same as my iPad. The 7th gen iPad uses lightning.
Have you tried it with the original k400 keyword and the iPad?
Note: Now I remember why I didn’t like the k400 plus keyboard - the split up/down arrow is unusually awkward and completely throws off my navigation. The previous generation with the smaller right shift button is much better.
I haven’t, I agree with you on the up down arrows. 👍🏻
@@leepspvideo ... I guess I’ll have to find a lightning adapter to test out my k400 with my 12.9 iPad Pro.
FYI: The Logitech k400 and k400r works with just one battery (even if there’s two slots). Found thus out accidentally. Second FYI, if the keyboard ever becomes finicky, I have consistently found that it happens because the center underside of the keyboard is in contact with my lap, creating some type of interference blockade. I nearly threw out my keyboard because of that issue. K400/r is still my all time favorite.
@@leepspvideo .... FYI update. Yes the k400 original keyboard works with my iPad 12.9 using the adapter. Picked up the lightning usb3 camera adapter today from the Apple store.
Just bought a Ipad pro 11 (2020) and I am looking for an external keyboard with a trackpad, just like this one. Do you need a "Apple lightning to USB adaptor" with the wireless Logitech, shouldn't it run via bluetooth?
This keyboard isn’t Bluetooth. Some others are.
You think it will work if I use this with a powered usb hub, so that I can also use other things and if possible charge my Ipad at the same time. Well my main concern is I want my ipad being charged while I'm using the keyboard.
Yes

@@leepspvideo thank you mate
Does it only function with the original Lightning to USB Adapter?
Very helpful video man thx
I have a cheap one which works but often disconnects.
Does it work with the IPad 6. generation?
Yes
Can you use the keyboard while charging?
Good video!
hello i want to ask if logitech k400 works plus keyboard on ipad air 2020 - thank you for your answers
Yes, with the usb dongle
@@leepspvideo great and it will have no response ???
@@nikolakompusova4274 ?
thanks for the video ^^ is it compatible with Mac Book?
Yes
@@leepspvideo Merci 🙂
Hey, does it support trackpad gestures?
Is the keyboard clickity clackity loud or is it soft?
Soft
@@leepspvideo Great! I'm going to get one.
My wonderful Logitech k400 works with my Huawei smart phone, with my MacBook Air, with my windows machines, but it refuses to work with my iPad mini or the iPad refuses to work with it. I tried the iPad with the Logitech Keys-To-Go, and it works, but it does not have a track pad, plus I already love my K400 and the Keys-To-Go costs about 80 dlls where I live.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Even my 1999 Tungsten detected it.
I tried it with the Unifier dongle.
I tried it with the Lightning adapter.
Still not working? I have a mini too
What ipad are using?
@@milhouse14 iPad mini (6? 6s?). Thank you for your message.
@@plumafina Try turning on the accessibility shortcuts
@@milhouse14 I will. thank you!!!!
Does he actually show how to connect to iPad ?
Right at the start. The white cable with the dongle plugged in. It’s automatically paired as the dongle comes with the keyboard.
Does the trackpad do 2 finger gestures? (Like scrolling or zooming)
1:37
Does the trackpad allow you to pinch-zoom in and out?
No, pinch to zoom doesn’t work. 2 finger scrolling does on web pages
Hello I’m Brazilian, and I want to know, which is your IPad? It’s iPad 6,7, Pro, mini???
Thank you very much! You have been a great help :-)
Troubleshooting Q: I don’t have the dongle so tried plugging the small usb stick to a female-female converter and that via charging cable to the ipad. Bluetooth isn’t however picking the keyboard up at all - any ideas why? Tia in advance.
This is not a Bluetooth keyboard. Bluetooth keyboards work in the normal way.
@@leepspvideo thanks for your time to reply - so if it isn’t a Bluetooth keyboard, how/where from does the ipad pick it up?
@@hstephens136 the dongle plugs into usb. The dongle connects wirelessly to the keyboard. It’s shown right at the start of the video.
Does it work on iPad 3rd Gen (But updated to software version 14.7.1)?
Should be fine, this video would have been on an older iOS version
hi how does the touchpad feels like? does it very responsive? can you test it with ubuntu device?
It’s ok a bit like an entry level laptop. Nothing like a MacBook.
thank you
Hey I have the keyboard and the dongle for my iPad but the mouse pad doesn’t work for me what should I do?
Is it exactly the same one?
@@leepspvideo yes it is the Logitech k400 plus and I have the apple dongle
@@leepspvideo I figured it out you have to have the accessibility shortcuts on
You have to on it in the accebilitys in your tab for older evinces
i’m trying to use this with an iphone 15 pro max and a usb c to usb a adapter but it’s not working. any idea what my issue might be? googling hasn’t helped unfortunately
My iPad pro 11” works with a usb C adapter. My iPhone 11 Pro Max with a lightning usb adapter didn’t with one of these amzn.to/4b17Q4p however when I plugged my charger in to the usb lightning adapter mouse and keyboard worked. I suspect it’s a software thing in iPhone that prevents usb devices draining too much power. The same thing happens with usb sticks

I had thought usb c iphones would be more accepting of devices
would the logitech k400 plus work with ipad pro 11 or 12.9 (2020) , especially for the trackpad? (it ipad pro connects to usb c hub to usb wifi) any suggestions? is it working well with the k400 plus trackpad function? any test and advice? thanks
Does it work to android tablets?
Yes you would need an otg cable for the dongle.
Please teach me how to connect it please :(
There is no connection process. it has a dongle you plug in to a usb socket.
Will it work for iPad air 4
Yes with the USB adapter
Thanks! Very useful!
How does this help me connect it to my iPad can ya show me that
It’s at the very start of the video. No need to pair with this keyboard as it has a dongle.
How did you get the cursor? When I have it connected, the keyboard only works, not the mousepad. Thanks!
On older iPads you need to turn it on in accessibility options.
Things have changed with the new iPad update.
