Overview

With the iPad Keyboard Dock, you get a useful home base for your iPad. It combines a built-in aluminum Apple keyboard with a dock for syncing, charging, and more. It also works with other iPad accessories, such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

Here are some ways you can use the iPad Keyboard Dock:

  • Connect the dock to your computer with the USB cable included with your iPad to sync iPad and charge its battery.
  • Connect the dock to an electrical outlet using the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter (included with your iPad) to charge the iPad battery.
  • Use the dock to hold your iPad at the perfect angle to compose email and notes using the keyboard or to watch your favorite videos or photo slideshows.
  • Connect the dock to a TV or video projector using a compatible cable such as the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter or the Apple Component or Composite AV Cable.*

    Lovely tech looking for application

    • Written by from London

    At £55, the keyboard dock for the iPad isn’t cheap. For your money you get a nice aluminium keyboard, just like the Apple wireless ones, with a docking extension at the back. As well as the USB connector, there’s a 3.5mm audio line out jack.

    The whole feels very solid. You can move the docked iPad/keyboard combo around without it feeling like it’s going to wobble or collapse. It’s easy to dock and undock securely.

    The audio line out is intended for hooking up to external speakers or amp, it’s a bit overpowering through cans. The device volume control has no effect on line out.

    So much for IO. The keyboard itself has the same layout as the standard Apple one, apart from the top row of function keys. They don’t actually bear F-number designations, and offer iPad-specific functions such as home screen, lock device, etc.

    I’ve written this post on it using WordPress. Nice touches are things like Cmd-C/V working to cut and paste, and shift-arrow to select, working as you’d expect on a desktop. I also got over the urge – quickly – to grab to the right for the mouse. (There’s probably some mileage in optional mouse support for iPad).

    All up it’s a very solid little piece of tech, although I’m not sure who or what it’s aimed at. If you’re in the kind of job where you can use basic browsing, email, calendar, and text editing/light word processing, then it’s pretty much an all-in-one office. Sure, you have to work in portrait mode – obviously – but for a very lightweight (if expensive) workstation if could work.

    Unfortunately I’m not sure how many people this applies to – like many people, I can’t work without access to Word and Excel.

    As a docking station to sit next to the Mac – maybe running Air Display as a screen extension – it’s perfectly serviceable, but takes up more space than a plain dock and costs more than twice as much.

    It’s also just a bit less than portable, due to the sticky-out-ness of the brace for the back of the iPad, and the base for stability.

    Mind you, it would certainly be a very cool way to be seen surfing in your local coffee chain.     …More

    Great keyboard & dock but does NOT dock with case

    • Written by from Chingford

    I purchased this and the iPad case. Both are great products but once you put the iPad into the case it is difficult to remove and you have to remove fit the iPad on to the dock. A slight modification to the case should do the trick. The message here is buy one or the other or a different case, although Apples case is the best I have seen so far. …More

    Doesn't work with 5.1

    • Written by from LONDON

    This could be an expensive buy if you are running iOS5.1 - it doesn't work at all. Neither the iPad nor the iPhone recognise the keyboard, which makes it a very expensive charging unit only. …More
