How To Use Apple Wireless Keyboard On iPad
You can use an additional keyboard for an iPad instead of using the onscreen keyboard. Follow the simple steps below.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects using Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard with iPad. Once the keyboard is paired with iPad, it connects whenever the keyboard is within range (up to 33 feet or 10 meters). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen keyboard doesnt appear when you tap in a text field.
