A man is truly great when he includes his own timestamps in the description

This is my initial review since I just got the ipad and I'm hoping to update it when I've had it longer ru-vid.comUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . I purchased one that was listed as "acceptable condition" and was a little worried about what it would look like. However, I am pleased with its condition. The back has some scuffs and a small dent near the logo. There are a few tiny marks at the bottom of the front of the ipad but the condition of the screen is perfect. There are no scratches or anything. I was able to set it up, use it, and it charges fine. I'm hoping it continues to work well for me. So far it was worth the purchase. Also shipping was fast. The item came one day earlier than expected

You do have a really good presentation style. You're concise, you make your point and give useful demonstrations and tips. Excellent video - thank you Pete.

Can you chrome cast while those devices are connected to an iPhone ?

Well-structured information, and delivered with interest and enthusiasm. Great vid.

Thanks for the video! Using the USB adapter cable, what if you need to charge your iPad? Won’t removing the Bluetooth cable disconnect the keyboard if you need to charge your iPad?

My iPad has essentially been doubling as a second laptop, and I really don’t want to drop a ton on a Smart Keyboard cover. This video was super helpful!! I’m trying to get into writing music on Notion but it’s absolute hell without a mouse at the least, thank goodness I can actually use one!

DUDE you SAVED ME! I was trying to connect the mouse in the wrong place! It never would have worked without your help! Thanks a lot! :)

You are one of the most talented people at explaining thank you for all your details have a nice day

Hi I have a quick question does this work for gaming purposes or not cause I might buy them but I want to know if it will work for what I’m going to use these devices for

1:43 you saved me 100 dollors i was about to but a wireless razer mouse but then you said i can use my own wired g502 for ipad thank you so much

question: how slow is the delay for bluetooth keyboard/mouse? which kind of keyboard would be best for gaming?

How good does the third party usb devices work as in 2 camera adapters and one lighting.

I have iPad First Generation, does it support Bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

Can it work with any adapter or does it have to be from Apple?

Can you suggest me a cheap gaming mouse that is a wireless without a little usb chip? And what type of dongle is that cause I can’t find it on apple website.

Thanks for that helpful video, Pete. I want to have a stand-alone monitor connected to my ipad and I can now do that after watching your video. However, my preference would be the ability to use mouse and keyboard functions on the monitor rather than on the ipad (easier to see on monitor) but I guess as the monitor is just duplicating what is on the ipad, the monitor would not offer interactivity with the keyboard and mouse. Is that correct?

Hi Peter, first of all i want to thank you for all your videos regarding GarageBand, i’ve been using usb keyboard and mouse for months on my iPad in Garageband, but suddenly one day the keyboard start to be not responsive, sometimes work sometimes not and it really driving me crazy cause i can’t find the reason. Do you also experienced this kind of problem? Thank you

You're great dude!! I'm already happy seeing the video, and the comments are making me so happier!!

Very helpful thanks! Any reason you choose the Logitech over the Apple Mouse. Although the price should be reason enough!

We stan a time stamp king 💖💖💖💖 thank you so much, this was so helpful! I need to see if I can find a dongle that will house 2 USB ports

Will this work on Iphone XR? cuz i mostly saw Reviews of the Apple Accessories that most models are compatible except for XR

Hi Pete! I’d like to use my iPad Pro with a dock, monitor, PC keyboard and mouse. I know this video focuses on best Bluetooth ancillaries but what USB A/C devices do you recommend work best? Would they work well enough via the docking station?

Hello! Amazing video. I just have a question. I got an iphone but it will be better if i could connect it to my old hdmi TV. Is it possible? and what would I need?

You are the actual best at telling us about this, you deserve more subs! Keep up the great work!!!

Thank ms for the demonstration, can all this be hooked up to your smart TV to have a bigger screen then the small tablet?

since ur still replying to comments, what would you do if you want to use usb for keyboard and mouse

Hey, great video, loved it I'm planning on buying an iPad Air and my work involves typing a lot. This video was very helpful but I didn't see you type using your keyboard, does it work? I have a wireless keyboard and mouse set with an USB receiver.

Hi ! thank you for your video, i have a question for a particular situation : Could you unlock your iphone/ipad by replacing the home button push with a keyboard plugged on the lightning/usb adapter ? Thank you for your answer !

does this work with any iPad? I don’t have an iPad Mini, just the iPad.

Does the USB adapter charge the iPad also? I see there's a USB-C port on the adapter.

Is there a double usb connector? Cause I have have a wired keyboard and a usb mouse

Great video! Do you have video that show how to connect bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and monitor to ipad?

IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS VIDEO (ABOUT CONNECTING BOTH THE WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE) FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS , THANKS , AMAZIING I HAVE AQUESTION , HOW GOOD ARE THESE WHILE WE RECONNECT EVERYTIME WE BRING THEM TOGETHER ?

2 years later and this is still sooo helpful!! Thank you!.. you gained a new subscriber

Thank you! I went to the Apple store and asked them whether my wireless keyboard/mouse, with the little USB thing would work with the iPad Pro and they told me no. Good to know it actually does work and Apple employees don’t know what they’re talking about!

Thank you,this is very helpful.I am about to decide whether to buy an iPad or not,been wondering if it can be similarly useful as much as PC does.

does this work for Minecraft like does it work like playing Minecraft on a computer but on ipad?

Hello does this work on any iPhone I have a 12 mini and was wondering if this works

Hey, in the USB plug one the keyboard is connected but what is with the mouse

Very helpful thank you. I haven’t tried this yet, I’ll buy mouse. Question, I’ve been using garage band without a mouse on my iPad 4. Without the arrow clicker, using touch screen. Is there a difference? Thier are simple things on garage band (like navigating a notes length on piano roll. (Sometimes it won’t allow me to add notes within a measure) i still cannot manipulate garage band. I used ‘Audiotool’ before garage band. Audiotool is like studio endless. But it’s old, Same synths that made asteroids and packman arcade games. 303s 808s make your own sounds. It takes time forever dialing sound. Not knowing anything. I used to turn off volume off (because the guy used all this audio terminology never giving reason or basic explanation what he said (to make himself sound smart). Audiotool uses old school effect pedals (same as guitar pedals) he calls all pedals the same, if it’s a distortion, delay, chorus, whatever (calls filters) ridiculous! . Watching tutorials and copy the mouse note for note trying to sound like the tutorial. Painstakingly A 10 -20 min video tutorial, could take two or more hours dialing in the sound. I was slow.. It was cool though (even sounds I didn’t like i would try copy eventually get right. Something’s I could not copy. Audiotool allows option listening to tracks made by uses Audiotool. Endless. You hear something you like you click and youre same page they made the track. You can see how mixing board drum machines everything is plugged. And you can Tweek the dials change effects manipulate butcher destroy the track. It won’t change the original . I copied everything to copy three heisenburg synths, plugged into mixing board for a week. I could never copy that sound. It was so weird beautiful but I couldn’t figure the sound. You could tell whoever made didn’t know chords piano (one spot) I have yet hear anything far away detached. Growls from kick drum. Drums I don’t know what note a kick drum is. Lol.

Does it work with a iMac keyboard?

Can I use any wireless mouse or does it need to be the one you have

you are awesome! straight to the point, explaining everything and using timestamps!!

My question is, lets say I have 2 of those adapters, if I plug an adapter with my mouse to my phone, but also put the pther adapter into the adapter, can I also connect the keyboard? Like a way to connect infinite usbs?

Thanks much Pete. I just about had it with my stiff, thick, immune diseased fingers and my iPhone. I got the Logitech keyboard through your link. I already had a Bluetooth mouse that works well.

Thank you for this video, I really needed it since I got a wireless keyboard and mouse for christmas and there was no converter so thank you!

Your a good at youtube!

I'm using the adapter you suggested. The mouse connects and works instantly, but the keyboard doesn't. Any advice?

Wow thank you! Your information is more useful than other yourtubers.

Hey Pete! I’ve connected my mouse to my iPad via a USB to Lightning converter and on the main iPad it works fine. However when I then go into GarageBand the delay is very, very long and it’s physically impossible to manoeuvre around and make some music. Would you have any tips on how I could get it working? Thanks for all the amazing videos!

This man is a legit legend for the time stamps to the reading comments and even adding RU-vid links to reply like what a legend

Yo dude thank you so much for the USB 3 adapter. I’ve been meaning to find one and I couldn’t. Thanks!

Does this system work for chrome remote access? That would be very helpful if it did, but I don’t want to invest in the adapters unless it does.

Great video! easy to follow and straight forward!

This is great, but I’m not sure how to power the ipad at the same time. Is that possible? :)

Great tips!
