All depends on user. Let's say if u are using office such as word, presentation or even making a lot typing; for sure it's useful

If seldom, better kept money

I'm always on-the-go... Meetings, presentations and on-location works... I don't want to carry my 15" MBP Retina everywhere I go, as it's heavy. I won't even want to carry my 11" MBA with limited battery life for my kind of work, which I did before. I'll hv to carry my charger with it all the time. But now, the iPad Air is so light and the battery life is more than enough for my daily usages, I carry it with me everyday & everywhere I go. I type a lot. Emails, job briefs, presentation slides, director's treatments & such... I desparetely needed one keyboard for it. The joy is, I have more working space on screen than having the on-screen keyboard taking half of the screen space, I can use shortcuts key to copy, cut & paste, a plus to that, I can bold, italic or underline with ease, the same way I do with my laptops. With one single charge, the keyboard battery last me about 3 months. I voted "Yes" without 2nd thoughts. Cheers!

Yup, mainly browsing and reading. 1-2 games. May opt for watching shows via airplay.

For me,nope.i do facebook,chat,and play clash of clans for hours and I chat a lot..but I don't need a keyboard that comes with the casing because I can type very fast and I'm used to this keyboard.this ios keyboard is very simple and easy to use.just that sometimes I'm scared to type too fast scare hardware or touch problem.but it would be useful though to have that keyboard.

I do have wireless apple keyboard to pair up with iPad. But then it was not exclusive for iPad. I use the keyboard primarily for my docking MacBook and occasionally for iPad for typing reports for on the go.

I think it pretty depends on what do you want to do with your iPad. If you wanna be more mobile and productive in terms of office documents and slides or what then I might get it.

If gamer means get controller la :3

I did get a bluetooth keyboard in casing for my iPad, but it made the whole thing so heavy, it didn't feel any different from a proper laptop. What was the point? So my bluetooth keyboard in casing is just sitting at home rotting. If I need to do work, I just bring my laptop.

I'm currently using the logitech keyboard and loving it to death. Before this, I used to carry a 'diary' to record down meeting minutes. Now I only carry my iPad Mini to all my meetings and using the bluetooth keyboard to type. When the situation warrants it, I'll take photo of the products and attach it to the meeting minutes. Then save it to the cloud where I can easily access with my MacBook Pro or even iPhone. It is simply the best way for me now .....

Oh ya, sometimes meeting new clients I can surreptitious google their company with the iPad Mini to gain more information. It has helped to impress clients on many occasions. Really handy, no more diaries for me.

Also before this, I tried using stylus but didn't work out at all. Keyboard is the best for me. Btw, I'm using Notability for my note taking.

I'd not consider one, since laptops would do a better job and I'd find myself to be less productive on an iPad compared to on a laptop smile.gif
