iHome Bluetooth Keyboard (IMAC-K111S)

looks and feels great, but since the day i bought it has had an awful time pairing to any device.looses connection after just a few seconds of idle time, will not re-pair.

I love this keyboard! I am using it to type out this review too. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an apple keyboard when I could get one like this for a much cheaper price. I leave it on and it has a sleep function that automatically turns it off to save the battery power. I just tap any key and it powers back on.

I purchased this because I was interested in a sleeker look for my desk. What! A! Mistake!I took it out of the packaging and it was aesthetically pleasing. I was happy the look for a sleeker desk was coming together. That amazing feeling lasted about 2 minutes.It took about 15 minutes to get it to pair with my iMac. Fine. I'm not unreasonable. I got a great deal! Then I started typing. Halfway through a Facebook status it turned off. I thought it was weird and repaired it, got my FB status posted and went to bed. The next morning, it took me 30 minutes to get it to pair and it would disconnect constantly.Buyer beware!

I use this keyboard and the iHome Bluetooth Mac Mouse for a Mac Mini connected to the TV in my living room and was trying to avoid purchasing the $80 recommended Apple branded keyboard. Its small, portable, and easy to type on. However, it goes to sleep in less than 5 minutes. At first I thought this was a great feature and figured it would save me on the costs of batteries. However, I found this extremely annoying when I need to use the keyboard and I have to wait for it to reconnect.I have gone through all of the very limited settings and have not found anything to adjust the sleep time and the keyboard is not relaying the battery charge correctly. The battery is always reported to be at 100%. When the keyboard is asleep, it seems to take an unusual amount of battery power. I Accidentally left it on a two nights in a row and the batteries were completely dead.I also found that the range is very limited, less than 10'. This gets annoying when I am watching Netflix on the couch and have to move closer to the TV to use the keyboard.I would recommend this keyboard for someone on a tight budget. If you have the money, go with the higher end keyboard. The same issues are present with the iHome mouse.

I bought this for my new iMac, and I love it! The keys are comfortable to type on and the whole keyboard is very durable and sturdy. I expect it to last me a long time!

The keyboard did not come with the cover over the battery pack and the description was off. Used OK rather than Used Very Good. It was extremely difficult to sink with my iMac.

It's so compact and has all the look and feel of an apple product and works just fine with my older mac.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have tried a half dozen different travel keyboards for use with my ipad. This is the best I have tried. It feels like a real apple keyboard and the keys are easy to type on. It does not make a racket - which is great when in meetings. There is no noticeable delay. Pairing is easy as can be. The power switch on the back is not going to be tripped by accident in my bag. I don't see the usual apple specific buttons, but that doesn't matter to me at all. This works great. I could not be more pleased. My ipad is now a true laptop replacement.REVISED April 2013: The keys in the top left corner of the keyboard mysteriously stopped working for me after a few weeks of use. "qwer" and the first few numbers just stopped working. After another few days "uiop" also stopped working. This is going in the trash. It was nice when it worked, but failing me on a business trip results in a date with the recycling center and a two star downgraded rating.Points off for lack of durability. To be fair, this has been heavily used and is unceremoniously smushed into my briefcase. Nevertheless, no more abuse than any other reasonable traveler would give it.
