Good start but major flaws. – Markdown Keyboard Review
There are some important flaws to recognize before purchasing.
* Although iPad compatibility is claimed, the keyboard does **not** support an iPad style key layout. The enter key is at the bottom, and there are no ,!.? Keys on the main keyboard. Very distracting for a person who is primarily iPad.
* There's a giant, super-easy-to-hit button right next to the space bar that pulls you out of the app you're working on into the MD keyboard app customize screen. I would hope to customize this maybe three times ever. And the space bar is the most common key to hit. This is a terrible distraction and a deal-breaker for regular use. Far better would be to make the settings button live at the far right edge of the special keys row.
* Does not work in some apps -- for example, the App Store review screen I'm typing into right now. (when I activate this keyboard on iPad the text entry disappears)
* No predictive text support / autocorrect that I can tell.
Good things:
* Love that you can move left-right by one character.
* Hooray tab key
Minor nitpicks:
* There's only a few slots for punctuation. You could not for example fit these all in, not even half: *-:.,;'"`#[]{}<>()_\|/1234567890
