this keyboard work wonderfully with my ipad 2 and I have have little difficulty with it . yes , it be cheap and obviously not as durable as the official Apple one , but you be pay a fraction of the price - what do you expect ? if you be nice to it , it will serve you a nice , long time and it will work . very , very rarely , the connection will cut in and out , result in about ten seconds where you can not use it . but it resolve itself and , like I say , it be a rare occurrence . the range on the keyboard seem to vary . sometimes I can use it across the room , other time I can not bring it more than six foot away . but it do not really matter , because I almost always use it near my ipad . other than its relatively cheap design , there be nothing bad to say about this keyboard . it be a steal at its current price of $ 17ish dollar .
