After a month of consideration, finally bought it!

I have already seen this keyboard at Logitech Shop @ Mid Valley since last month. Have been hesitating whether to buy it or not because I can't find a solid reason (or should I say excuse) to buy it until today ;)

I've recently found a new solution to work remotely via my iPad so long my corporate laptop stay powered at office. There are few iPad  apps that enable you to remote into your laptop and work from iPad instead. I've tried few and find the best still Teamviewer (FOC for personal use) and SplashTop where I manage to buy at $2.99 and normal price is $16.99! Good deal eh?

Since this is a remote technology so the performance may be lag and poor depending on the 3G coverage. In KL, where I mostly get 0.5-0.8 MBps, the performance still consider acceptable and I wonder how is the performance in SG. Will test it out as soon as I'm going back this week ;)


With this, I can actually left my laptop at office at all time and I just need to remote in as and end or just in case I need to do some quick support during weekend. At KL, I can also leave my laptop on and went for 'snaking' around while people still assume I'm working :p

I do know there are built-in keyboard for iPad but sometimes it's not that practical and the screen will will be cropped in order to show they full scale keyboard. This is when a USB keyboard become handy. Bought this baby at RM199 but I remember being quote RM188 last month (Original Apple cost RM239 and battery is built-in). Maybe they know this product is fast moving so purposely marked up as per their RSP for higher margin. Smart fella.

Still can see the price tag :)
Unboxing the new toy
Slowly sliding out from the case (where the case become the iPad stand/holder)
There you go ... finally expose to daylight after packed in factory
See the arrow? That's where the battery compartment is
I can simply replace with 3 AA batteries (one hidden at right slot) unlike those with built-in battery
USB connectivity and battery indicator and power switch
Little instruction how to setup the iPad holder out of the keyboard case
Here it is ... the complete set. Blue plastic is where it hold the  iPad
I rather use the keyboard only as I've my fold able iPad case
