Keyboards are working with new iPad
« on: Sun, 18 March 2012, 18:54:28 »
I know that several on this forum mentioned that their keyboards didn't work with their iPads.  All my keyboards have always worked with my old iPad which was the original one and I refrained from updating to the latest software as some said the new software wouldn't allow for the additional power required to run the keyboards.  So in anticipation of getting a new iPad, I downloaded and updated all my software and apps.  All my keyboards worked fine with the old iPad and latest software.  Now I am happily typing on my new iPad and using my Poker.  I tried my Realforce and that worked fine as well.  So not sure why others have had issues - for me no problems.

My sources tell me the iPad 3 has PS/2 and 9 pin serial ports. Finally!

I can hardly believe that horrible photo is by ripster. I got better results from my pinhole shoebox camera!  :-P

Well....Actually I will in my subforum but it won't be your typical review - more focused on input methods.  Kinda like the Apple Aluminum Keyboard it will build up slowly.

There are LOTS of general iPad reviews around.

I'd be very interested in converting my Filco and HHKB to Bluetooth. My apple BT keyboards work with my iPad just fine. I have been looking into building a hack, using a bluesmirf, but I'm out of my depth.

In the meantime, anyone got one of those camera adapters for me?
