I wish they also included the trackpad beneath it. I basically want a laptop base without the screen.


There are various products like https://inateck.com/collections/tablet-keyboard/products/blu....

There’s also https://www.esrgear.com/products/ipad-air-13-2024-ascend-key... which I think are standard Bluetooth as well.


You can just unmount the display and have a base. I used such setup for 6 months as a teenager plugging it everywhere I go.


There are people who have bought MBPs with broken screens and deleted the screen to use them with the Vision Pro. Works quite well!

I wonder if the keyboard covers for the Microsoft Surface tablets could somehow be repurposed.


That’s a great place to look because they sell this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-pro-flex-keyboard/...

Tempting!


they arent that nice, compared to what im currently using (epo64: https://a.co/d/gRQnvjE apparently on sale atm)

that said, my surface pro 3's keyboard is quite old now, so maybe the new ones are nicer


They more-or-less improved the keyboard immediately after the SP3. The SP4 is a night-and-day difference to the SP3 (to the point where I was considering getting a SP4 keyboard for my SP3 when I still had it), and they've gotten better since.


Over a decade ago microsoft actually sold a Bluetooth adapter for the surface keyboard
