Would this work on an iPhone?

Like I said, the Kensington tempted me for a bit. It was $10 cheeper with no extra keys or stand. Something I can’t find on the keyboard is an escape key. Is this unusual? Oh & yes, it should work with all lightning cable devices. It isn’t rechargeable either. I have played around with it more today, & although, it is a cool idea, I think I’ll return mine. :) If anyone decides to order one, report back on your thoughts. It’s nice to get a variety of feedback. BTW, to give you a quick key layout. The very bottom row goes, home, control, option, command, spacebar, command, option, then the arrow keys. The bonus keys are on the top row. A grouping of 4 on the far left, & another grouping of 4 on the far right. They go as follows: previous, play/pause, next, lock, mail, mute, vol-down, vol-up.

I know that if you have certain windows keyboards and connect them to a Mac, those keys don't work right.

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.

First, I thought this was a really cool idea. I liked the thought of not having yet another bluetooth device, plus none of the bluetooth keyboard issues. The keyboard has a dedicated home button, lock/unlock button, & a mail button. In addition to media & volume keys. What it is lacking is a function key. For those of you that use an external keyboard frequently, would this be a deal breaker for you? I cannot remember the commands I may be missing with no function key. It has also occurred to me that I can only use the stand for a device in landscape mode. I’m not seeing a way to use it in portrait & tuck the cord away. Lastly, & this may be a tiny personal gripe, but I find typing on it rather loud. Lol! It makes me think of hearing typing on Tv or movies. So, bottom line for me personally, cool idea, but not sure if the $60 price is worth it. Maybe if I regularly typed out long documents. I am going to practice with it a bit more to remind myself of navigation commands. Five years ago, when we got our first iPad, I loved using a bluetooth qwerty keyboard with it. ;) Maybe it has just been too long, and it isn’t my thing anymore. In any case, I wanted to write about this, because before a few days ago, I didn’t know lightning keyboards existed. It may be the perfect solution for someone else.
