Hi, considering, yet again, getting a larger iPad and keyboard to use as a distraction free writing machine. I was wondering if the bug I experienced a couple of years back and have read about since is still present? It's basically that certain, if not all (couldn't test all), keyboard cases from 3rd party manufacturers being closed results in voiceover continuing to talk, IE, not sleeping as it should. I know this was the case with the logitech combo touch which I tried, and think I heard it happened with the Brydge keyboards too. The only one I'm certain it doesn't happen with is the horror that is the iPad magic keyboard which is overpriced junk. I suppose it wouldn't happen with the keyboard folio from apple either but don't know.
What keyboard cases are you using and are you having this problem? Is it solved? Are there certain good quality cases that don't have this issue?
Comments
unfortunately yes!
I recently found this issue on an iPad Pro and a keyboard by Logitech. both of them are the latest models.
Yes
I notice that when my iPad 9 and slim folio is close sometimes the music is playing. It happen several times. Strange.
Only with TouchPads
Only the casees with touchpads have this issue. I have two logitech keyboard cases, the non-touchpad one does not have this issue.
Nothing worked for me
Nothing worked, I tried all possible workaournds and nothing seemed to work unless Logitech does something with the keyboard firmware to fix the issue.
Logitech
I have sent many emails to Logitech to look at the issue but have received no single reply
Mouse lock?
Apologies if this has been suggested before, but do the keyboards with a trackpad have any kind of means of locking said trackpad?
I know some laptops have a physical 'lock' button usually near the trackpad, like the gap between the space bar and trackpad, for example.
Just wondering if any of these kb cases have a similar feature; be it through hardware or software?
Not possible
There is no way you lock the touchpad. I might be wrong though.
