Why is it I cannot get an external keyboard to use as a game controller on the ipad??? I can connect it with bluetooth and use it normally but it will not connect to a game!! Can someone please tell me if it is possible, if so how do I do it??? or do I just have to get a laptop. ;( Thanks, Jill
Just because the iPad can do it doesn't mean the app developer is using it, or has it built into their code.
If the keyboard works with Apple apps and not another one, I'd contact the app developer, or check the app site for comparable keyboards
best of luck

on computers the keyboard is a much used controller type, on devices such as ipads and iphones it's up to the developer of the game how one interface with the game, and it's often not by keyboard as ios devices are not shipped with keyboards
Some games maybe programmed to use certain Bluetooth controller devices that are specifically made for iOS, or not.
As Rudegar has pointed out, iPads do not ship with a keyboard and the game developer may not have programmed keyboard game control into the game for iOS.
There are reasons why an external keyboard has not been programmed to use with games.
Sorry.
