To connect the adjustable keyboard to the iPad, an ADB cable and a USB adapter were used, the Lightning port taking over all the commands that the user gives through the keyboard, the iOS acting on the writing commands or those for certain shortcuts.

Although this was not the idea of ​​those from Apple when they started promoting the iPad tablet for the business environment, it is amazing to see how old and new technologies can work together, even if they are separated by 23 years.
