Top reviews of the best keyboards for iPad Air. Buying guide: buy the best iPad keyboard matching your business needs from Belkin, ZAGG, Logitech, Kensington, Targus, Griffin.
It took me a while to put this list of 500+reviews (from both experts and customers) of the best keyboards for iPad Air together, so I trust you will find it useful. I believe it’s the most comprehensive list of iPad keyboard reviews ever put together.
But with the internet, there is no such thing as a definitive list, so I invite you to flag any valuable articles and videos I might have missed.
To do so, please leave a comment here with the permalink of the article or the blog post and ideally the name and twitter handle of the author.
And as usual, your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
Methodology
I started blogging back in December 2004… time flies. I’ve become more and more conscious of SEO and online visibility: what’s the point of producing excellent content if very few people ended up reading it?
As a consequence, in the last 2-3 years I focused on making sure my content was viewed by as many relevant people as possible within my targeted groups. I spent a lot of time improving SEO and maximizing social sharing.
This is one of the reasons why I became such a big fan of rewarding highly visible articles and videos from content producers, professionals or enthusiasts.
I put together this list of resources essentially by searching for:
The exact names of those iPad keyboards on Google search and on YouTube. Then, I selected only the relevant reviews from respectively the first 10 pages and 5 pages of search results. I only selected iPad Keyboard reviews in English and I didn’t include any product videos from the manufacturers.
The customer reviews from the likes of BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk with a focus on the reviews flagged as most helpful. I chose not to include the product reviews ‘merged’ with a previous generation of the keyboards.
Trusted Reviewers
The range of those product reviews is rather broad from a dad blogger and an Amazon Vine member to some well-known experts such as:
