iPadに適したキーボードは？
Hello!
Hey guys!
Oh, I have a question.
Oh yeah, go ahead, give it to me.
Yeah, so that's about your iPad.
iPad, yes.
You're using the, um, the...
Keyboard?
Keyboards, right?
Yeah.
It's... so I'm... if I remember correctly, that's not, like, Junsei-shin keyboard.
This keyboard?
Yeah.
I think, yeah, this is a Junsei keyboard.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, did you get, like, a not-Junsei one and, like, struggled?
I got the Chuuko.
Ah, the Chuuko-ka.
Yeah, I got the Chuuko and then struggled.
I see, I see.
Oh, so actually I have a friend who has iPad and thinking to buy this keyboard.
The exact same one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
But thinking about if you need to buy at the Junsei-shin or, you know, the third party's,
like, cheaper one.
I see.
And I remember you, you know, sometimes you do, like, struggle with the connections, right?
On and off, right.
So, well, first of all, I thought that's not Junsei-shin, so that's fine.
But I just want to know if that's the best choice for the iPad or, like, which one should be.
Which iPad is he getting?
Like, it depends on the generation.
Like, if it's a newer model, this doesn't.
You can't.
It's not this keyboard.
It's a different keyboard for newer models.
Oh, it depends on the model.
Yeah.
Is he the type of guy that would buy, like, the latest iPad?
No, I don't think so.
It's not, like, the newest, latest one.
He might get, like, the old one.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not sure about.
All right, but as far as this goes, I am not satisfied with this.
Oh, okay.
Because of the connection issues.
Like, I sometimes have to disconnect, connect, disconnect in order for the iPad to recognize this.
Right, right, right.
So that's a bad no-no, a big no-no for me.
Yeah, even if it's Apple's Junsei-shin.
Yeah, this is Junsei-shin.
Still?
Still.
It fucks up sometimes.
Okay.
I'm thinking that maybe it was because it's a Chuko.
I don't know.
Maybe it was screwed up because of that.
So I can't give it a full, like, a fair review unless I try, like, a new, not a Chuko, not
secondhand one.
But so far, secondhand this one, the connection's not good.
Okay.
But the keyboard, the clickiness and everything, I'm actually okay with it.
Oh, right.
I'm very satisfied with all that.
Okay.
Yeah.
So if that's connected, like, automatically, like, very smoothly, then perfect.
Yeah.
Very nice.
Yeah.
Okay.
キーボードの接続方法と価格
If it's not Junsei, I think a lot of keyboards have to be connected through Bluetooth.
Okay, through Bluetooth.
This is not Bluetooth.
Oh, how does that work?
There's a connector right here, this three metal ring.
Wow.
That's the connector, right?
Wow.
So it's like a physical connection.
It's a physical connection.
Oh, wow.
So it's much stabler, you know?
True.
So...
Wow.
I see.
Yeah.
Problem?
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
But yeah, I think I got it.
Okay.
Yeah, I see.
So...
Okay.
And how much was that?
Like, the secondhand keyboard?
Way much cheaper than the...
I don't remember.
But like...
Like this one?
Like that new model?
I think it was like around...
I really don't remember.
But I'm assuming from the range of ¥4,000 to ¥7,000.
Okay.
Is my fair guess right now.
Junsei-shinキーボードの不満
Yeah.
What about Junsei?
Like a...
The new one?
The new one.
If it's not like secondhand.
I think it's like ¥12,000 or something.
I don't know.
I see.
I'm not sure.
Not sure.
But...
Okay.
I see.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Have you ever tried the not-Junsei-kin one?
The Bluetooth connection one?
Never tried it.
Never tried it?
I don't know how well it is.
But my desktop at my house.
It's using a Bluetooth connected keyboard.
I see.
And that's working perfectly.
iPadの重さについての検討
Okay.
Like, zero stress.
The third-party one?
That's a third-party one.
Sanwa Supply.
And it's...
Zero stress?
Zero stress.
Wow.
Perfect.
Okay.
So...
I can't say that the Bluetooth is bad.
I see, I see, I see, I see.
Okay.
But is it you that's considering it?
No, no, no.
Your friend, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Right, so...
Yeah, so I'm not like...
I don't have like full information about, you know,
the models, what, you know, the budget and everything.
But, yeah.
So, another factor that I like about this one.
Okay.
So, this is a Muji version.
What do you mean, Muji?
So, there's like iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro.
Okay.
The normal iPad, right?
That's Muji-to-Muji.
Oh, okay.
This is the Muji-to-Muji iPad.
Okay.
And this keyboard is for the Muji-to-Muji iPad.
Okay.
And there's a different keyboard for the Pros and the Airs, right?
Okay.
That's heavier.
Oh.
That keyboard is heavier.
So, the reason why I like this keyboard is it's very light.
And this kind of like half replaces my laptop.
True.
So, when I carry this in my backpack, it's very light.
True.
But if you look at the way, how much it weighs with the keyboard and the iPad itself,
on the Pros and the Airs, it's just as heavy as carrying a MacBook Air.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's very close to a MacBook Air.
So, it's like, what's the difference?
Why not just carry a MacBook Air if it weighs the same, right?
Right.
That didn't make sense to me.
So, I wanted to go with an extremely lighter set of, yeah, combos.
So, that's why I went with this one.
iPadの軽さのメリット
So, lightness is another thing that's a merit of having a tablet, right?
Right.
Yeah, I'd consider that, yeah.
Easy to carry.
Can I just carry this one?
Oh, yeah.
It's very light.
Right, very light.
Especially, like, the keyboard, like, I think it's...
Keyboard is very light, I think.
Keyboard is light, yeah, very light, man.
Very light.
True.
Yeah, I see.
Yeah, if it's going to be very heavy, like MacBook Air, like those, then, yeah.
It kind of starts to not make sense, right?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I get it.
True, okay.
And what about the mouse?
The mouse.
Yeah, I don't have a mouse.
But they have mouse flypad, do they?
So, the keyboards for the Pros and the Airs, they have a little small additional pad for the mouse.
Yeah, mouse pad.
Just like a MacBook.
Just like a MacBook, right?
Exactly.
I see.
This doesn't have it, so you just have to touch the screen.
Oh, okay.
And it's okay, because it's touchscreen, right?
So, I was...
Yeah, it's just touch it and then type it.
Yeah, right, right, right.
You're not planning to buy any, like, a third...
Like, a third-party Bluetooth?
No?
No, no, I don't.
I want to keep it compact.
Yeah, yeah.
So, mouse is a little bit bulky, right?
Right, so...
I don't like that, so I want to keep it...
I like to put the compact, the mobility first priority.
So, that's not an option for me.
I see.
And you're very much satisfied with touching and typing.
It is a little bit tiring.
It is tiring?
Yeah, your fingers get a little bit tired.
The angles of your hand is a little bit unnatural.
Like, you have to do this, and this angle right here.
Kind of a little bit tiring.
So, not the best computer experience.
But if you're on the go, I guess it works.
You prefer the lightness.
Yeah.
I see, I see.
I definitely...
This definitely will not replace my desktop, my laptop.
I have a desktop at home, so I have to have that.
This itself isn't going to complete my whole ecosystem.
Right, right, right.
The digital ecosystem.
It's just for you, it's just up.
It's a portable, temporary computer.
I see, I see, I see.
Okay, I see.
Great.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, of course.
MacBook and iPad
Yeah, but the lightness, like, weight is also important.
It is important, yeah.
It is, it is, it is.
Okay, thank you.
Right.
Thank you for the information.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I see.
I'm still using the...
I told you that I have a desktop, but I'm still using the one...
I'm still using the MacBook that my screen broke.
Oh.
Remember I told you that my screen broke?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The clamshell?
Yeah, the clamshell mode.
Yeah, I'm using that.
I'm still using it.
Oh, so you've got a, like a...
Monitor?
Yeah, monitor and...
Yes.
Connected?
Connected through, yeah.
Great.
Right, right.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
With that, you have in your house, and then that one somewhere, like, outside.
Yes.
Carrying portable thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Raise it up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice.
Opinion on digital product
I have a question for you, but I want to get your opinion on current digital product situation.
Oh, okay.
So, give me a very brief opinion.
Okay, okay.
Well, obviously, you know it very much, but I'm not a professional about those things.
Exactly, that's why, that's why.
Okay, okay, okay.
All right.
So, there's going to be...
Soon, Apple's going to release iPhone 15.
Oh, okay.
15, yeah.
And it's said that the charging cable is going to go from a lightning cable to a USB-C cable.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, yes.
What is your opinion on that?
Oh, is that the only thing that's going to be changed?
It's not the only thing, but it's one of the major changes that people have been waiting for.
Oh, and you're planning to buy it?
No, I'm not planning to buy it.
But it is revolutionary to Apple, right?
To have the Apple iPhones.
To have that USB-C charging cable.
Well, okay, I would say that's a good change for me.
Because, you know, I have an Android phone, which has a Type-C charging system.
And I, you know, I sometimes forget charging it, or like forget the cables and everything.
And, you know, currently, like those iPhone users, they don't have C-type cables, basically.
They only have lightning.
So that the situation, I forget charging it and, oh, I need to charge it.
Can I use your charging system?
And everybody has like lightning.
Oh, that's not mine.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
And that happens all the time.
So if everybody has Type-C, and I can easily use everybody's charging system.
So that's a good change to me.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
Thank you for your opinion.
Yeah, that's all what I thought.
Wait, are you using, you must be using a, so yours is Type-C.
Yeah.
And the cable is connected to, on the other end of your phone,
it's connected to a converter of your plug to the USB-C output, right?
What?
There's a converter of your plug to the USB output, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know how many watt that is?
I don't know.
Zero?
Are you still using the same one that came with the package?
Yeah.
Why?
Is that that important?
Is it, do you want to make your charging speed faster?
No.
I've never thought about that.
No, but.
If not, then okay.
Oh, do you have any idea?
Currently, if you go to like the, the, the, there are, it's said that using the same
one that came with the package, it's too slow.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
For iPhone, I don't know about your phone, but for iPhone, it takes like three hours,
right?
Three or four hours to completely 100% charge the phone.
Yeah.
If you use the one that came with the package.
But like, if you use the one that's being sold.
Yeah.
The stronger one, you can get it to full in like 30 minutes.
And that's so much better.
True.
That's very, very fast.
iPadの充電スピードを早める方法
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I just wanted to tell you that.
Oh yeah.
I was wondering if you were in the zone where you wanted to speed up your charging speed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True, true, true.
Yeah.
Well, sometimes I have a situation like I'm in the outside and I got a like 3%, 7%, you
know, and I have to charge it like as fast as possible.
Yeah.
So if I can charge in 30 minutes, that's, yeah, that's better.
Oh, another information.
Yeah.
You know, there's a charging spot in every convenience store.
There's like a rentable, portable battery.
コンビニの充電スポット
Yeah.
That's very convenient.
Oh, really?
I recommend it.
Oh, true.
Yeah.
Like anywhere.
Like you can rent through your phone.
You just have to install an app for that.
And boom, there you go.
You just have to scan the QR code.
Yeah.
Bam.
Oh, true.
That's very...
Right, right, right.
That's very convenient.
Cool one.
Yeah.
充電スポットの利便性
True.
You don't have to say, uh, suimasen to everybody.
Oh, no, you don't have to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
Oh, that's lovely.
All right.
All right.
Thank you.
Thanks for sitting, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
