Most functional iPad mini 6 compatible keyboards (list)

Best iPad mini 6 compatible keyboards
Standalone keyboards compatible with the latest iPad mini 6

∙ Standalone keyboards are much better for your iPad mini 6 than any dedicated keyboard case.
∙ They can be used with multiple devices, now and in the future.
∙ They are larger than iPad mini 6 itself.

iPad mini 6 is here for a while, and, while having a larger 8.3-inch display, it’s actually smaller than its predecessor. It may make you think whether getting a dedicated iPad mini 6 keyboard case would be a good idea. It’s not.

Instead, take a look at a roundup of standalone keyboards that are compatible with your iPad mini 6. All have two common benefits:

▸ They are larger than the size of any iPad mini 6 keyboard case.

▸ They can be used not only with your iPad mini but also other Apple devices (iPhone, Mac) and other operating systems.

When you get a universal keyboard to be used primarily with your new iPad mini, you would use it with any new devices for several years.

Make sure to also explore iPad mini 6 cases and covers.

▸ Almost all foldable keyboards are being folded from top to bottom, either once or twice. The keyboard offered by Geyes is entirely different.

▸ It folds twice along the lines that spread from left to right. This solution comes with one extra benefit: the upper side of the keyboard frame can be used as a stand, so there is no need to buy one.

▸ The stand has the width of a keyboard, so it’s stable and can be used on uneven surfaces. Plus, it’s wide enough not only to place your iPad mini 6 (in a portrait view) but also your iPhone.

▸ After folding, the keyboard resembles a replaceable laptop battery. As its proportions are unusual, you will probably need to reorganize your laptop or accessory bag space.

▸ The Geyes keyboard is available in either Black or Silver. Which one is a better match for your iPad mini 6?

▸ A full-sized keyboard with numeric keys, row of function keys and shortcuts, and a built-in stand? meet Arteck – a retro style keyboard that has it all.
