I’m not crazy about the IPad keyboard, but I’m a really good typist and hate typing with a few fingers. I have been told I should get a bluetooth keyboard and then I will love my IPad even more.

It just takes getting used to - and is something I’m working on :)
I have two keypads, one with a dock and one is bluetooth. For use on my iPad 1 and iPad 2. The dock sees little use, as I have protective cases on both iPads and they need to be removed in order to dock. The bluetooth keyboard, when activated, needs to pair with the iPad. Sometimes that is a hassle.
I have found it more convenient to just use the screen keypad rather than the external keypads, which get little use. If I need to do a lot of typing, I revert to using my Macbook.
