Yes, will I have an iPad mini, the original 16 MB, WIFI only that I was given by Tom after I showed him how to use the one we got for him. It came with a keyboard cover, but the keys seemed off to me, too small and no travel, made so many errors with it that I gave up on using it.
Since I have been alone for the past 20 months I seldom use the iPad, did for mail when my computer was down but could not when the internet went down last fall, maybe I could have used the phone to connect it but I did not. Anyway, I tried to connect the Logitech keyboard I got for Tom but I am missing something, it has not worked but I know it did on his mini and iPhone, both of which have been passed on to other people. Keyboard was new, gave it to him four days before he passed for his birthday, he liked it and it does have a great touch but I have not gotten it to connect, if there is a key that needs to be pressed I have not found it, wish I had because for a Bluetooth it has the best touch I have ever used. Have Amazon Basics now, it is okay, at least I can tell when it is on or off, just connected to my phone. My iPad mini seems to have super sensitive touch despite changing settings which is one reason I don’t give it much of a workout these days, I would sell it but it is a dinosaur these days, bought in late August 2013 after I showed Tom how to use the one he bought to use at the hospital. Best part is the speaker, for reading books, not bad, I seldom touch it, not even sure if it is updated from 8.

Rose, I'm with you. I have been using computers sense the days of Dos. Before that, I learned to type in grade school and I don't 'wanna tell ya how long ago that was! I like dictation on my iPhone 5s, and it works great for text messages, short notes, and from time to time, a personal log entry. What I'm saying here is, my first choice is to type it. A keyboard case gives me all the options I need.

Your reasoning isn't flawed at all. I use a Bluetooth keyboard because I'm faster at it than using the iOS keyboard, and Fleksy often reverted to typing exactly where I touched, which means it was garbage being typed. So I deleted that, because having to restart voiceover whenever that happened, whih was often for me, was a real pain. Braille screen input, however amazing, means that I'd have to turn my device to landscape mode, type, correct any mistakes, twist the rotor, or do the "back" gesture, and find the send button or whatever. With a keyboard, I can just navigate, using the keyboard, to the place where I want to type, type, and if in messenger, messages, Kik, Whatsapp, and countless other apps, just press enter to send. If I'm in outlook Mobile, I'd press command+enter to automatically send a message. Other keyboard shortcuts like that work too, in other apps. Yes, I have to take two devices, but no, it's not that much worse than taking an iPhone and a charger, or an iPhone and a braille display, or a braille display and its chargers, or an iPhone and a purse.

I merely want to test my opinion in a matter where i more or less have been accused of being wrong. You see, i want those i tell and sometimes teach about the iDevices to know their device thoroughly so that they don’t get stuck somewhere if things happen and so that they themselves can make an informed choice about for example what input method to use and so i have said that if you want an iPhone you’ll have to learn and know about the virtual keyboard before you get to decide if you want to use it or not. I for example am not using a physical bluetooth keyboard although i have a little cute one sitting around here. Now i’m exclusively using Fleksy for my typing needs, and sometimes when i’m in a hurry to make a calendar appointment for example i use Siri and then go in and edit the calendar entry afterwards but before i used Fleksy i used the stock iOs keyboard. I have chosen to do this because i don’t want to carry many gadgets with me all the time, but those are my choices, so please tell me what in my opinion is wrong because i am apparently so dence i can’t understand it. What in my reasoning is flawed? /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
