Consumer Reports tests iPad keyboards Apple’s iPads were the hottest gift of the year, with sales topping 15 million during the Christmas holiday, but there is one thing that many users complain about – the virtual keyboard.

To solve the problem, companies have created iPad-specific keyboards with real buttons. Consumer Reports tested several costing between $70 and $100.

“We found most of these keyboards have pros and cons,” said Consumer Reports’ Paul Reynolds.

Testers said the Menotek keyboard is lightweight and can be rolled up, but they found its’ small, soft keys hard to use.

“The RocketFish and Belkin keyboards we tested have convenient, tablet-specific buttons, like ‘Home’ and ‘Lock Screen,’ and they have shortcuts to do tasks like running a slideshow,” Reynolds said.
