Q: Does the keyboard detach and is the ipad protected in a case

A: The keyboard doesn't detatch, but you can swing it around and fold it down behind the ipad to use it like just a tablet. The ipad itself is protected in a plastic case that is attached to the keyboard. It folds closed like a laptop and protects the ipad. Also the ipad can be popped out of the case easily if needed. I love it!

Q: Can I use this keyboard with the iPad in vertical position

A: Hello, Shay. Thank you for reaching out to us. I apologize, this case would not rotate to a vertical position.

Q: Does this keyboard have a touchpad that operates like a mouse.

A: Hello, Bell. Thank you for reaching out to us. No, I apologize. This keyboard case does not have a touchpad.

Q: How do I connect blue tooth

A: Hello, first be sure that your VersaType is charged. Then power one the keyboard by sliding the on/off switch to the right. While the Blue LED is flashing go to your iPad's Bluetooth settings and select the "Targus THZ857 Keyboard". It should now be connected. If it is not switch the keyboard off for 3 seconds and turn it back on. Than press "FN + C" and wait for the Blue LED to flash. Then go to your iPad's settings and select "Targus THZ857 Keyboard". If you need further assistance please reach out to us at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to PM EST.

Q: Does this work for the IPad 8th Generation 10.2”?

A: Yes, I use this with the 8th gen ipad. Fitment and use is perfect according to my daughter who uses it for school work...

Q: I've charged it till it went green. I turned it on and the keyboard lights were on for 5 seconds before shutting off and it isn't showing as an option on my iPad to connect it. Is it just broken?

A: It most likely is not broken, the issue sounds like you may not be pairing it correctly. Please contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to help you with the pairing.

Q: Is this compatible with the 1st generation ipad pro 10.5

A: Hello, based on information gathered from Apple Support on iPad models there is only one generation of the iPad Pro 10.5. That being the case then yes this will fit that model.

Q: Love this keyboard but had to return it because the back and forward buttons never worked. Reordered a second one which has the same problem. Is this a manufacturing defect? Apparently no troubleshooting for this I was told just return it.

A: Hello, sorry about the issues that you have been having with the VersaType. Let me see if we are able to assist. There are two things that we can try. First please go to settings>Accessibility>Keyboards>Full Keyboard Access and it on. You may also while there want to check that things like Show Lowercase Keys is also turned on. If that does not help it could be something with the mapping of the keys to fix that go to settings>general>Keyboard>Hardware Keyboard and tap over at the right edge. There check to be sure that it is not set to Automatic. If it is you will want to change it to US or ABC most likely. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. We can be reached at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST.
