New iPad Keyboard Case Has Hard Keys and Mac-Like Keys

By

Over the past few months, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of cases grafting a working keyboard onto the iPad. We love the idea, but we’ve yet to see a really solid execution.

Perhaps the PADACS iPad Keyboard Case is the, well, iPad Keyboard Case we’ve been waiting for. Unlike the competition, it features a hard physical keyboard with firm plastoc keys instead of softer, rubbery ones. That should make the PADACS more satisfying to hammer out prose on from a tactile perspective, but those paranoid about scratching their iPad display may want to stay clear.

Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about the PADACS iPad Keyboard Case, though, is that the Bluetooth keyboard comes with dedicated keys for Select All, Copy, Cut, Paste, Blank Screen, Slide Show and Search… as well as Command, Option, Function and Control Keys. That’s something I don’t think the competition actually has, and puts the PADACS about on the same level of functionality as iPad’s own $69 Keyboard Dock… albeit at a $30 premium.
