Operating Instructions

Detachable Magnetic Keyboard

The keyboard can be easily attached or removed from the case due to its strong magnetic connection. This allows for flexible usage, enabling you to switch between a laptop-like setup and a pure tablet mode for reading, watching videos, or sketching.

The keyboard features a QWERTZ layout, which is standard for German-speaking regions. Please be aware of this layout difference if you are accustomed to other keyboard layouts (e.g., QWERTY or AZERTY).

Adjustable Viewing Angles

The case offers two stable viewing angles, supported by a triangular stand design to prevent wobbling:

65° Angle: Ideal for working, reading, or watching videos.
20° Angle: Suitable for writing or drawing.

Click: Single finger tap.
Scroll: Two-finger swipe up or down.
Zoom: Pinch with two fingers.
Home: Three-finger swipe up.

For optimal trackpad performance, you can adjust the cursor speed on your iPad: Go to iPad Settings > General > Trackpad and adjust the cursor speed (10 levels available).
