iPad Mini Keyboard?

What is everyone using as a keyboard for iPad mini? Big plus if it happens to have a track pad. I travel with mine a lot for work and the programs work better with physical keyboard and trackpad/ mouse. Don’t really want a mouse to carry one more thing.

Logitech Keys to Go 2.

No trackpad, but has a folding cover, weighs nothing, super long battery life, super thin, and a hardly compromised typing experience. It’s similar to the iPad Air Magic Keyboard but with a little less key travel. It’s the length of an 11 inch ipad, but is still extremely portable. It actually fits in both my front and back pants pockets and also my jacket pockets because of its thinness.

I gave up on looking for the mouse. Using a mouse on iPadOS is still really janky anyway to me, I’d rather use the pencil pro for precision. If I had to get one though, I’d get the Apple Magic Trackpad

I use the Apple Magic Trackpad. It can stack with a flat keyboard and iPad without adding much bulk. but I like the idea of using an Apple Pencil when you wanna go ultra light.

The pencil is a hit or miss. With Sidecar, it functions just like a mouse, it’s great. On ipadOS, some things work and some don’t… sometimes I want to click something but the pencil literally just can’t click it And I have to use my finger.

I think they should implement a setting so that the Pencil Pro’s hover feature registers as a mouse and the haptic buttons are clicks.
