I tried a tiny iPad mini keyboard. It was a bewildering experience.
Apr 13, 2025
It almost sounds comical, but using a teeny-tiny keyboard with an iPad mini is not a terrible idea. In fact, it just might help you get some work done in a space that would otherwise be sacrificed to social media doomscrolling, give you a headstart into the day, or simply engage in some word-y recreational activity.
The iPad mini is a fantastic device. It’s criminally underrated as a portable external display, especially for Mac users. It has all the firepower in the world you will need from a tablet. In fact, were it not for the screen size, it would deserve a productivity-boosting keyboard more than the 2025 iPad with its 11-inch screen.
Alas, Apple doesn’t make a keyboard for the iPad mini. For obvious reasons, one might say. But that doesn’t mean there is no space for one such accessory. Third-party labels surely felt otherwise, and if you look up on online retail platforms, you will find a healthy few keyboard accessories for the compact tablet.
HOU is one of those brands that serve ambitious products at a bargain. Their iPad keyboards, in particular, are quite popular in Reddit forums. In hindsight, there are hardly any mainstream brands out there that offer a keyboard accessory for the iPad mini. I was eager to try one, and I was left in a state of bewilderment, both the good and frustrating kind.
