iCade issues under ios8

Hi, for the last few years i've enjoyed playing games via my iCade, eg the Vectrex app and many others.

I've got an ipad 3, ios8 and since upgrading playing games via the iCade has been an issue. Theres a 'slight' stuttering which is ruining the games i'm trying to play. Spoke to someone else with the same issue and said its probably a bluetooth issue under ios8.

Worried Apple wont fix this, anyone else with this same issue ? I'm getting paranoid thinking its Apples way of stopping people use the iCade and instead use MFI controllers !

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

PHEW !

Someone sent me this...

""Ok people, I think i've sorted this out (i hope so): just check if you have "split keyboard" setting enabled (in General > Keyboard). If you do, try to disable it and test your games again. On my iPad 3/iOS 8.1.1 this setting was the guilty one! Now everything's working fine (Gridlee included). Oh, and if it's working for you, please spread the word around the interwebs, because this is nasty and neither ION or Apple have been very helpful to this day."

I've tried this and my games no longer appear 'choppy' !

It looks like its a new setting in iOS8 (or is it an ipad only setting as its not on my iphone running ios 7.04)

Anyway i've played a few games and this works, PHEW !!!!!
