I just did a search on Amazon and Logitech has one as well. It doesn't mention a stand. The price on that one is $47.95. Logitech Wired Keyboard for iPad with Lightning Connector (920-006341) 4.6 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews
It looks like the full info on the Belkin is: Belkin Apple MFi Certified Wired Tablet Keyboard with Stand and Lightning Connector for iPad Pro, iPad 4th Gen, iPad Air (All Versions), iPad mini (All Versions), Designed for School and Classroom 4.0 out of 5 stars 64 reviews $54.99 These might be a good option for anyone taking notes on a regular basis. Sure looks like a way to avoid the Bluetooth issues.

The stand doubles as a handle for the keyboard. There is cord storage build-in the rear. The price was $54 plus tax. This same keyboard was $69 on Apple's store I believe. The other model that I was debating between was the Kinsington. It did not have a stand or media keys, & it was $44. Both keyboards get good reviews. They are selling these keyboards mostly for school testing purposes. Lol, the keys are pry-off resistant for kids. Maybe that explains the noisy nature of the keys. One more thing to point out, the media keys are suppose to work with youTube as well. Pause/play etc. HTH, Traci PS. Typed this on the keyboard. ;) Sent from my Mini > On Sep 24, 2015, at 12:28 PM, Richard Turner <[email protected]> > wrote: > > If you are only using it with an iOS device, I don't think you can program > any keys and as far as I know, Apple has not implemented any use for the > function key to date. > Perhaps on a Mac, but I've never seen any use for it with an iOS device. > > Richard > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Lisa Belville > Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2015 12:07 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Lightning Cable Keyboard > > Tracey, do you know the brand of your keyboard? > > I've never had a reason to use the function key on my Bluetooth keyboard, > but then I've never had to reprogram any of the keys, either. > > Lisa > > Lisa Belville > [email protected] > A bus station is where the bus stops.
