Keyboard for ipad

Daughters mac has packed in. Can’t afford to replace it. She has an iPad Pro - anyone any recommendations for a keyboard other than an apple one (cheapest is over £150).
Thanks

I believe you can use any Bluetooth enabled keyboard which you can pick up a reasonable cost
example i found £16 LINK

My daughter bought one from Amazon just before Christmas, I think it was around £20. It works via Bluetooth she’s really happy with it, as she can sit downstairs and do some college work rather than upstairs in her room on her Mac.

It was similar to this one

Agree with others here about the Bluetooth keyboards.

I've had good success with various Logitech ones over the years with my iPads. Most recently the MX keys (absolutely amazing but expensive), but have also tried out the K375S (keys are a bit mushy but otherwise it connected fairly well) and an older version of the keys to go (tiny but very portable which works well with the portable nature of the iPads). There are many other Logitech bluetooth keyboards too, and Logitech also make keyboard cases for the iPads...

Thanks everyone. She needs to keep applying for jobs and finds it difficult to keep her flow up when trying to type on an iPad. We will look at the links given.

The one shack69 posted a link to is similar to the one our DD has for hers as she didn't want one that was part of a case.

Still works well 2 years later.
