How to make your iPad keyboard smaller

Testing conducted by Apple in September 2015 using preproduction Magic Keyboard devices, firmware and software with shipping iMac systems. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while engaging the device on a paired iMac using automated equipment. Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors. So I got my first Apple wired keyboard about 4.5 years ago, and it was still working great, until I spilled coffee,(yikes), on it. I turned it over right away, pulled the key covers off, tamped it with an absorbent cloth, fan dried it, and to my surprise, the next day it worked, but only lasted for about a month before several keys just went bad. On the ipad, the keyboard takes up about half the screen when it is horizontal. I know how to split and undock the keyboard, but that isn't the problem. Is there a way to reduce the keyboard size? If I need to download a third party keyboard app, which one would you recommend for a smaller keyboard?

  • If you use a number pad instead of a standard keyboard.

Instead, you’ll see the default keyboard until you finish typing.
