So you love your iPad mini, but you don’t really love the on-screen virtual keyboard. Well, Belkin is here to help with a new accessory made especially for the iPad mini.

The Belkin iPad mini keyboard has well-spaced physical keys and it connects wirelessly to the tablet via Bluetooth. The battery should last about 155 hours on a single charge, so no worries there. You can detach the keyboard from the case, allowing you to type from a distance or control the tablet via the custom iPad media shortcuts. When the keyboard case is not in use, it protects the iPad mini like any other case.

You can pre-order it from Amazon right now for $80. Not a bad price for a case and a keyboard.

Since owning my first iPad I have used a wealth of different styluses to both write, sketch with and navigate throughout iPad applications, and on seeing the Hand Stylus I immediately thought its smaller 4mm nib would be perfect for additional accuracy whilst sketching. Without the need to invest in the more expensive smaller nibbed styluses that require an adapter to be inserted into the 30 pin port of your iPad to use.
