Hi Teresa, The Apple Wireless keyboard is quite nice, but I think the Logitech K811 is nicer. It's just as small, feels just as well-made but it has 2 big advantages:
1. It has a physical on/off slider on the right side instead of that silly button on the Apple Wireless keyboard which inevitably gets pushed if you have the keyboard in a bag or backpack. 2. It is capable of being paired with up to 3 devices so if you have, for example, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV you can pair all 3 devices with the keyboard and simply pressing F1, F2 and F3 will allow you to select which device you want to control. Whichever device you pair first will be F1, the second device you pair can be selected with F2 and F3 obviously then is for the last device you pair. Another nice feature is that it's rechargeable via a standard USB Micro cable so no batteries to replace.

To be honest, the keyboard I got was less expensive, but I will probabl get an Apple one when I get an iPad. I couldn't pass up the good reviews and $30 US discount on this one from Amazon. :) I also wanted to experiment to see if a bluetooth keyboard was a good option for me. It apparently is.

The bluetooth rechargible keyboard I use can go for about 2 weeks before it needs to be charged back up. It only takes 3 hours from totally dead to fully charged so it's not like it's the end of the world. If I remember and I usually don't, I try to recharge it once a week. >>>> >>>> HTH >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Alan >>>> >>>> Sent from my iPad Air >>>> >>>>> On Jul 12, 2014, at 10:13 AM, Teresa Cochran <batsfly...@me.com> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Hi, all, >>>>> >>>>> Just out of curiosity, how does anyone know when a bluetooth keyboard battery is dying? >>>>> >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> Teresa >>>>> >>>>> "We're made of star stuff."--Carl Sagan >>>>> >>>>> -- >>>>> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
