Description

The split keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9” is here. And it comes with gorgeous light and dark modes. The beautifully crafted Handy Keyboard is the perfect iPad typing experience. ~ BEST-IN-CLASS ERGONOMICS ~ Handy Keyboard separates the keyboard to the left and right sides, letting you hold your iPad comfortably while typing. No more contorting your hands to a cramped keyboard. Work longer, better, and more productively with exceptional ergonomics. ~ CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR HANDS ~ Not everyone has the same size hands, so why should everyone use the same size keyboard? Handy Keyboard lets you get the perfect hold on your iPad by letting you fully customize the height and placement of the keyboard. Handy Keyboard is thoughtfully built to prevent hand and muscle strain. ~ FAST & ACCURATE ~ Handy Keyboard learns and constantly adapts to your typing style, so your typing gets more and more accurate over time. Plus, type on your iPad faster than you ever thought possible with the built-in autocorrect. ~ 100% PRIVACY & SECURITY GUARANTEE ~ While other "free" keyboards make money by selling your data, we instead charge a simple upfront, one-time cost to support development forever. No data is ever sent or stored outside of your iPad. Use Handy Keyboard even without an internet connection. ~ BEAUTIFUL NIGHT-TIME DARK THEME ~ Is your screen too bright at nighttime? Handy Keyboard comes with both light and dark keyboard themes. We tested dozens of dark schemes to reduce your eye strain and fatigue. Our dark theme ensures comfortable usage in the evening for long periods of time — guaranteed. Handy Keyboard was painstakingly tested for every typing situation, specifically for iPad and iPad Pro.

    This split keyboard does not work with OS 16
  • Very convenient on iPad Pro 12.9" iOS 16

    Given dates of earlier reviews, I worried that Handy keyboard wouldn't work on current versions of iOS. It works in iOS 16, and is absolutely worth the price for me. Without a split keyboard, an iPad Pro 12.9" would be nearly useless for my purposes. For me Handy is much better than the only other good alternative, Banana Split. The advantages of Handy are that (a) you can shift the keyboard up, allowing you to hold up the iPad with your other fingers, and (b) the keys are small and close to the edge of the screen. Larger keys could be easier to type on, in theory, but the result is that the inner keys are far from the edge of the screen, causing errors because my thumbs have to stretch too far to reach the inner keys. I don't have problems with Handy's small keys. My one complaint is that the little globe button for switching keyboards is in the center where you can't reach it easily while typing. (I often have to switch keyboards momentarily to type a Greek letter.) It would be nice if the space where there are no keys were transparent, but this seems to be a problem with the options that Apple allows developers, and I don't mind, most of the time, if the part of the screen below where I am typing is covered up. (UPDATE: I tried to use the Handy Keyboard on a recent iPad mini, and it didn't work, but the HK would more or less duplicate functionality that the built-in Apple keyboards already provide on the Mini. Where I need what the HK provides is on my 6th gen iPad Pro 12.9", and it's great there. I haven't tried HK on any other iPads other than the Mini.)

  • With iOS 13, only option

    This seems to be the only way to get a split keyboard now with iOS 13. I’d rather have this keyboard than not. That said it’s only so so. The auto correct is not good compared to the regular keyboard. Too early to tell, but I may end up liking swipe better. At .99 this would be a no brainier. At 4.99 it’s only for die hards that has be to have a split keyboard.
