Use your iPad Mini like it's a laptop with this BrydgeMini keyboard. It's adjustable within a 180-degree range, making viewing easier, and its backlit keys and compact size let you be more productive in dim light while on the go. Use your BrydgeMini keyboard for up to three months on a single charge.

I'm very picky about what I buy, so I did quite a bit of research before buying this keyboard. There are others out there that are OK as long as you have small hands. Otherwise, it will feel too small and awkward for typing. This is the only keyboard that decided to optimize most of the keys (letters) for size and spacing and only sacrificing the keys on the edges or symbols. I think that is why this is the best keyboard for the iPad mini. I usually type about 70 wpm in a normal MacBook keyboard... and I'm doing 62 wpm with this one. Not bad at all. Appearance wise... it looks very nice. It matches my iPad color exactly and the backlight is a nice touch. I also like that you can set it in almost any angle. The clips do show even when closed, but it does make it one of the slimmest option; thus, I didn't mind how those clips look. I thought that $99 is a bit high, but it is probably worth it. To my surprise it was $49 when I found it at the store, so I grabbed it in a second. However, I was ready to pay the full price when I walked into the store.

Excellent WiFi router solution for the whole house

I was a bit hesitant to pay $370 for this product (two WiFi towers). However, the person who helped me seemed pretty knowledge so it got me interested enough to do some research while at the store. Before buying this product, my setup was a Time Machine + extra Airport express base (my house is 2 stories and ~4000ft^2), and I was having a hard time getting enough or consistent bandwidth around my house. It would be 200-250Mbps next to the router, ~50Mbps around the middle of the house (right next to the airport express base) and as little as ~2Mbps in some bedrooms. I thought I just needed to buy more WiFi repeaters, but every time you do this, you keep downgrading your max speed because as you know, each repeater needs to talk to each other and use valuable bandwidth in the process.
I bought it thinking I'm going to at least try it and return it if not a par with my crazy high expectations. What a surprise!!! I did get 200-250Mbps next to the router... and after placing the satellite (second unit) in the middle of my house, I was getting 200-250Mbps next to the second unit!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I tested it again and again with my laptop, phone, iPad, etc. Same thing. Amazing. I started to go into every room of my house and even though I was getting some degradation, I was still getting a healthy ~100Mbps at the corners of my house... those are the places where I was getting ~2Mbps before. Thus, mission accomplished! I found exactly was I was looking for. BLANKET WIFI for my whole house with just 2 units (base and satellite).
Setup was a breeze... 5-10min at most... and this is because I was trying to get them in the right spot so that they blended in with the rest of my gear.
I also managed to turn off my Time Machine and use it in bridge mode (ethernet cable from Orbi to Time Machine) so that my automatic backups still work as usual for my MacBooks. I even left my printer connected to Time Machine and it is working just fine.
If you are feed up with inconsistent and/or low bandwidth throughout your house and you are paying for ethernet service 200Mbps or higher, you should definitely consider getting Orbi.
Again, not the cheapest option... in fact, maybe one of the more expensive solutions out there... but sure performs as advertised. Amazing product by Netgear!!!
