Let's see if this keyboard is too good to be true šŸ‘€

More on @connected later today!

@viticci @connected UGH this is exactly the form factor and feature set Apple should make! I hope it's decent.
@viticci What manufacturer? (I have a similar looking one for iPad Mini 6 and it's the bee's knees, but it wasn't cheap.)
@cstross @viticci Wait, you have one like that for the iPad Mini 6? I would love a recommendation if you might share!

@vnangia @viticci It's this: https://www.doqo.shop/products/f83a-for-ipad-mini-6-aluminum-wireless-magic-keyboard

(Not cheap, not particularly light, but the build quality makes it feel like an Apple product. Key feel is great, too.)

@cstross question for you - can you tap to click on the trackpad? Or do you have to click (I find that’s often a limitation with 3rd party trackpads)
@cstross @viticci Oh wow, that’s fantastic. Just what I was looking for. Price is quite reasonable considering official iPad ā€œMagicā€ keyboard pricing.

@dillonmok Yeah, nope: doesn't have a version for the iPad Mini, which is what we're discussing.
@viticci that’s a big power button. šŸ‘€
@CyberCory @viticci I believe it’s a whole LCD display for battery and stuff like caps lock.
@viticci @connected At first this picture looked like a laptop with the lower right corner of the screen chopped off.
@viticci for a moment there, I thought the screen was bent šŸ˜…
@viticci @connected I still can’t believe you openly stated that you’d be willing to pay up to $500 for an Apple version of this. That’s crazy.
@viticci @connected I have the 11 in Brydge version. It’s great!
@viticci @connected I’m curious if you can remove the iPad from the magnets and rest it against those two ā€œfeetā€ beside the trackpad that are supposed to protect the screen, in order to have a handwriting angle that’s stable.
@viticci @connected No inverted-T arrows- WHY!!??
